Katy Perry’s ‘Firework’ has lit up the charts as well as the history books. The track has become the singer’s 3rd consecutive single to hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 from one album, giving her the distinction of being the 1st female artist in 11 years to achieve this feat.
The last female to accomplish this was Monica with the songs ‘The Boy Is Mine (Ft. Brandy)’, ‘The First Night’ and ‘Angel of Mine’ from her ‘The Boy Is Mine’ LP in 1999. ‘Firework’ is Perry’s 4th #1 single on the Hot 100 and her 6th top 10 single out of 7 releases.
Congrats Katy.
Hey everybody, check out my message board The Conversation Chamber.
http://conversationchamber.forumotion.net/
congrats Katy you have proved everyone wrong who said that you would be a one hit wonder (tho she cant sing i commend her for actually writing her songs unlike a certain model)
Congrats to Katy Perry! 🙂
Well if Monica did in in ’99, she solely does NOT hold that distinction! Besides that…idk Riri stans, that magical #9 ain’t lookin to secure right about now!! Lol

SO IF S&M OR RAINING MEN GOES #1, SHE WILL HOLD THIS ACCOMPLISHMENT AS WELL! HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAH
Rihanna stan..3 consecutive #1’s eat’s 4 all year ANYWHERE!! Sorry…LMAO!!
@ T.R.
LTWYL ——WMN——-OG

U MAD?
LMFAO!!!! ARE YOU MAD THAT WMN IS REBOUNDING ON BILLBOARD AND HAS A SHOT TO GO BACK TO #1 ?
HAHAHAHAHAHHA
*sigh..poor, poor stan!! Katy Perry is already taking Rihanna’s place as a solid number 2 behind Beyonce, it seems daily. Hell her emergence of celebrity is even taking me off guard sometimes!!
Congrats Katy!
Who takes the Billboard hot 100 seriously those days???
The place is crowded by studio singers: Perry, Rihanna, Kesha….All about looks but no vocals.
Wow.. im shocked but happy for her… i didnt know she was as popular as she is. I love the new song firework, and love the vid too.
@ TheRealPsycho:
Rihanna doesn’t write her own songs either, dumbass. And Katy’s history making feat goes to show you that “9 #1s” DON’T MEAN S***! Anybody can achieve a #1 these days, especially in the digital age.
Katy scored THREE #1s off of just ONE album. She scored two with her last album. So that’s 5 #1s. 5 EASY #1s. What’s to stop her from tying, or hell, even beating Rihanna?
The one thing that you could brag on your fave’s behalf doesn’t seem that special now, does it?
im late on hearing RAINING MEN on riris new lp..GOOOD SHYT!! next single! it will be # 10 its catchy
and i have never liked FIREWORK its annoying dahlnngs
For the record, Katy now has a total of 4 #1s. I knew “Firework” was going to #1 so congrats to her. “Teenage Dream” is a great pop album. She has the potential to release 3 more singles which will incontrovertibly be at least top 10 hits.
^^^ Hot N’ Cold wasn’t #1?
^ Not in the U.S., I’m not sure about other countries though.
congrats katz rihanna better watch out
LMFAO @ TRUE BLUE
OWNED!!!!!! 4 #1 ‘S NOW HAVE A SEAT
IF IT WAS SO EASY, WHY DONT MANY OTHER ARTISTS ( COUGH COUGH CHRIS BROWN, KERI , ETC ) HAVE CLOSE TO 10 #1’S????
HAHAHHAHAHHHAHHHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAH STAY MAD HUN!
DO YOU LOVE THAT RIHANNA IS ABOUT TO CROSS THE 1 MILLION MARK IN LOUD ALBUM SALES AFTER ONLY 3 WEEKS?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
LMFAO @ T.R.
OH IS THAT RIGHT?
IS THAT WHY RIHANNA HAS SOLD OVER 60% OF KATY PERRY’S ALBUM WORLDWIDE AFTER ONLY 3 WEEKS?
AHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAH
i have a question COMPLETELY OFF SUBJECT!!
I AM NOT a rihanna stan
nor a beyonce but
She has 9 number ones,some are from features
beyonce has 5 number ones yet she was a feature aka member of destiny’s child
AND they had 4 number ones (9)..
Yet people say that dont count
but she gets to include her 13 solo and 3 with destiny as 16
so y cant she do so with the singles so bey has (9)..CORRECT!??
just thought about this…
p.s. i love rihanna lol….dont bash me just answer question
@ The Real Psycho:
Yes, 4 #1s in the space of TWO years. How many did your girl achieve in her first two years?
2005 – Pon de Replay
2006- SOS
2007- Umbrella
That’s 3 #1s in the same amount of time as it took Katy to achieve her FOUR #1s.
And how exactly is she about to go platinum after three weeks? More lies and exaggerations from you as usual. Oh, and I love how you only name artists that are at Rihanna’s level or lesser, you don’t say anything the more well-known artists that slay her ass.
#STAYDELUSIONAL
* you don’t say anything about the more well-known artists that slay her ass.
And may I remind you that Katy has a #1 album under her album, Rihanna STILL doesn’t.
* under her belt, I mean.
corrections^^^^^
**Rhianna has 9 number ones,some are from features

@Randomized
Because the group wasn’t called “Destiny’s Child” featuring Beyonce. It was called Destiny’s Child. That’s why Beyonce’s 1#’s as a member of Destiny’s Child do not count as #1’s for Beyonce the solo artist.
@ Randomized:
Because groups count as a singular act, and when you are a member of a group, you and your bandmates are one entity. Eminem and Rihanna are both separate acts, so if they collaborate and their song goes to #1, it’s a # 1 for both of them regardless of who is the “main artist” on the song.
Destiny’s Child was never Destiny’s Child featuring Beyoncé, she was a part of the group, not separate from them.
It’s for that same reason that an artist who was in a group AND a solo artist can be twice inducted into the Rock N’ Roll Hall of Fame, the group and the solo artist are considered separate acts.
THEREALNICKY
Singers like Keri, Chris Brown, and Ciara haven’t score a lot of number 1’s because they do URBAN MUSIC. Chris Brown sometimes does dance/pop but he isn’t consistent with it. Now-a-days, it’s easy as hell to go number 1 if you’re doing that electro-pop, dance/pop, or techno/pop music.
Anyway, I can’t believe she achieved this but then again, she does record bubblegum/poppish songs. Katy is one of the worst singers out right now. It’s amazing what voice filters can do to a voice because she sounds horrid live. I don’t like her music because it’s so childish. “Teenaged Dream” Katy? And you’re… what 25 years old? WTH? I just hate how these old ass or grown women release teeny bopper songs. And isn’t it funny how ever since that electronic sound has become big, more and more singers have broken records? Kesha, Katy Perry, Rihanna, Lady Gaga have all broken records and just look at how bubblegumish their songs are. Just look at the charts. I literally SMH every time I view them. All I ever see is Rihanna, Katy Perry, Kesha, Usher, Justin Beiber, and Black Eyed Peas. And if it’s not them, it’s an artist who records electronic/pop music or just plain pop.
@ TRUE BLUE
WHY DONT YOU ADD UP THE NUMBERS ON UNITED WORLD CHART!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA
GOOGLE IT SWEETIE
AFTER ONLY 2 WEEKS, RIHANNA SOLD 710,000 ALBUMS…..NUMBERS FOR THE 3RD WEEK COME TOMORROW!!!
DO U LOVE IT?
This only proves that #1’s aren’t worth bragging about like some people do. Number ones are so overrated, IMO.
BTW: The psycho should have stayed on its break.Ugh!
@Lola
I could see you painting Only Girl with the generic pop brush, but not WMN or Rude Boy. Granted, those tracks topped BB Hot 100, but as far as niche charts go, WMN and Rude Boy peaked higher on the R&B /urban charts than on pop. And not every generic pop song goes to #1. Look at Telephone.
“This only proves that #1’s aren’t worth bragging about like some people do. Number ones are so overrated, IMO”
@Amazing Lee
it’s only overrated when certain artists are better at doing it than others. It’s not as easy as it looks, because if it were, more artists would be doing it.
i wonder how littlemsnotalent feels now……….. she is all over nicky minaj these days
Oh Nicki now u wanna talk album sales.
Still a long road to Whitney’s 7 consecutive #1 singles.
WHITNEY = UNTOUCHABLE
umm at that ONE Rihanna stan. My have the “mighty” have fallen. I use to come on here and the RiTardNavy would be in full effect in every post..
anyways, Rihanna is ALMOST platinum worldwide. shes barely at 400,000 in the US. soo..umm..yeah. dead at her fans being soo quick to bring us WW sales -_____-
ANYWAYS, congrats to Katy. shes one of the few Billboard princesses that can actually hold a not live. congrats
LOL @TRENT SAYING THE BOY IS MY WAS MONICA SONG ..LOL CANT CUZ “The Boy Is Mine” WAS BOTH BRANDY AND MONICA SONG PS IT WAS ON BRANDY’S ALBUM NOT MONICA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Va1Y6uAgNJY
call me crazy but i actually like katy perry’s voice. im not big fan of beyonce, rihanna, or katy for that matter but they have all done their part musically and kept us either listening or watching. the entertainment business is about appealing to the masses. Madonna isnt a great singer but she appealed to the masses and is now on icon/legend status. yes true talent does go unnoticed (i.e. Tamia, Jill Scott, etc…) but in these days you have to do more than belt out good notes to be noticed. its a different industry than it was in the 80s and 90s, think about it, when was the last time a “sanger” (other than beyonce) sold out a show venue? fanny (tamia, faith evans, etc..) sings her ass off, but i highly doubt she’ll ever sell out of ticekts or book madison square. so i cant really knock any of the girls for doing their thing. congrats to all of them in my book. and look at mary j. she was never the vocal competition for people in her starting era, but she learned how to use the voice she was given, make it work for her, and eventually make it better…..and look at her now, shes one of the queens.
I think Its already been Proven that “LITERALLY ANYONE can get a #1” once we saw Ke$ha get one but Rihanna & Katy Perry lucking up on Mediocre #1s too doesnt hurt this Logic, It only further PROVES it…
@ randomized
CORRECT, Ive been saying that. Theres no real difference B/W Kanye, JayZ & Rihanna and Beyonce, Kelly & Michelle. Thats 9 #1s for BOTH, Name attachment should not matter. only Diff is that Bey lasts far longer at the Top meaning her Hits hold the bigger #Punch.
@ THEREALNICKY
4 so called “#1’S” in a Year yet ONLY ONE(1) was good(RUDE BOY)???
O_o NEXT==>>
All of your arguments are pointless. Katy’s number one. End of Story!! Very good song, well deserved honor. Moving on. It’s nothing to lose sleep over. These comparisons are so old. That’s why the industry is the way it is now because of stupidity. Music is music. It has no color, gender, or race–just feeling, and either you vibe to it or you don’t.
I know that this is so random, but I need to hear new music from Amy Winehouse. I just have to. She needs to get herself together and make a new album pronto. She has so much freaking talent, it doesn’t even make any sense that she messed herself up with drugs.
@ S***
SWEETIE, BEYONCE HELD THE #1’S FOR A LONG TIME BECAUSE RADIO WAS DIFFERENT
SHE HAD OVER 200 M AI FOR IRREPLACABLE AND BIG NUMBERS FOR BABY BOY , HOWEVER THE MAX NOW IS AROUND 160 M AI NOWADAYS
DO YOUR RESEARCH!!!!!
YOU HAVE TO HAVE A COMBINATION OF VERY HIIIIIIIIGH DIGITAL SALES ( BOOM BOOM POW, IGF ) TO LAST FOR 10 WEEKS OR MORE NOWADAYS
And I know that I usually say congrats to the untalented artists that get #1’s because I am trying to be nice, but sometimes, I just feel the need to tell the truth. BB Hot 100 is mostly TRASH nowadays, that is. I’m glad we have the internet, so I can listen to the music that I want to listen to. I’ve been listening to Janelle Monae, Amy Winehouse, Leona Lewis, Adele, Sara Bareilles (sp?), Chris Brown, Micheal Jackson, Glen Lewis, Sam Cooke, Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell, Jazmine Sullivan, Chrisette Michelle, Melanie Fiona, Kelly Clarkson, and many others. I love hearing talent.
I was just listening to Amy singing “Valerie” : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqSKVv6YO8g&feature=related
Her voice is so soulful and I LOVE it!
^^^ Completely agreed. I own Back To Black, but I haven’t brought myself to listen to it for quite a while, because hearing her voice makes me sad all over again when I am painfully reminded of how she has messed up her life.
@THEREALNICKY
Yes but in my opinion Airplay speaks way louder than Download Sells.
Anyway, Billboard needs to change the Rules on all fronts. & at the same time the current Music buying public needs to buy some TASTE.
^^^ One of the few things we can agree on.
Beyonce’s 4 #1’s with Dc should count as Rihanna’s features count with others.
Rihanna is almost platinum ww, and her album in the states has sold 423k.
By the way Mariah has sold at Madison Square Garden once or twice with her last tour, i believe. So Beyonce’ isn’t the only singer to do it.
sold out Madison Square Garden.
congrats 2 katy,.i love this song well the studio version dat is..cuz we all know she cant sing this song live
Beyonce and Rihanna Stans are f****** sick in the head, WTF, this is a post about Katy Perry, not about those chicks if you wanna b**** about them , go on one of their posts, Bey/Rhi Stans can never take it when another female artist is doing well, GROW THE F*** UP!
CONGRATS KATY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PS: Rolling Stone Magazine just name Teenage Dream as the Album of The Year
Haters Stay Pressed!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Billboard has become such a joke now.
Anyway how can she be making history when it has already been done. I hate when ppl say for example oh xyz makes history as she was the only female since 1990whenever to have five singles. That’s not making history fools.
@THE TRUTH
i thought they named Twisted Dark Fantasy as the album of the year or they have a list of albums?
I just wanna say….umm u b****** are really tryin right now
but NO
First of all, Rihanna already has 2 consecutive #1’s from this album and could easily release “S&M” and get the third right now.
2nd-Rihanna’s number ones means 1000x more to you guys then it does to her.
She is clearly on set of her movie right now not giving a s*** so calm down.
3rd Now that Rihanna has NINE number ones (features included with billboard) you trying to get Beyonce up there with her…?? NOPE that was a group
and a group effort so it won’t count she is solo now so she has FOUR less than RIRI.
4th You guys are Way too worried about number 1’s like it matters!!! Ciara had a
number one album….well look
at that… Dosent take you anywhere!!!!
5th since Rihanna has accomplished NINE #1s and I guess
now “so-called” ANYONE can get one (Just another retarded way to try to discredit Rihanna cuz it’s something their fav hasn’t done) right….well why don’t you take your ass in the studio and go get one….since it’s that easy CLOWNS!!
THIS IS EVERYYTHANNG!
@TLC

It’s also funny because when Rihanna breaks records they do not post s***
But when this “White girl breaking records you want to praise her”
*sighs* black people
Rihanna s***’s all over everyone’s FAV when it comes down to billboards!
And LOOOOOOOOOL at the people saying “It is sooo easy to get a number
soo why the hall does your fav only have 5 number ones if it is soooooo easy why is your fav being slayed by a island girl I just cannot then you go off saying Number ones dont mean nothing looool because you fav aint got none!
Well dont to Katy No shade towards her but It makes me sick they want to praise her as if she is that amazing,, hater or not rihanna has broken records and has accomplished a lot.
^^ cuse our fave don’t release radio food and go with the trent going around to get a number one
This b****’s album gone Gold yet? …. oh.
fergie has had 3 #1 with a debut album!!!!!!!
@G1088, so has Christina Aguilera but neither XTina’s or Fergie’s were consecutive.
I thought Fergie did this with London Bridge, Fergilicois, and Glamorous????
@MT
I don’t think Fergilicious went to #1. However, I think Big Girls Don’t Cry did.
@TLC
THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS and big ol’ co-sign to your post. Someone’s fav can’t score 9 #1’s, or 3 off of one album like Katy, then all of a sudden, it’s “anyone can get a #1”
@ Okay: learn the facts. The boy is mine was not only on Monica’s album, but it served as the title of the album. The only incorrect thing Trent said was ft. Brandy, it wasn’t a feature, but a duet. Stop with all the opinions, let’s deal with fact, oh I forgot you can’t argue facts…silly homo’s!
OK WHY IS BEYONCE NAME BEING BROUGHT UP…..
KATY AND RIHANNA HAS NOTHING ON BEYONCE SO KEEP THE QUEEN’S NAME OUT OF THIS THREAD!!!!! THANK YOU
Is it april fools already!!! Get out of here with that garbage. How in the world do she have 3 songs on the billboard. Boy if you got teenie bopper music, I guess you can float along.
how did beyonce or rihanna or brandy or monica or etc or etc, get into tis mix, cant u guys just comment and leave it as that, with that being said i say congrats to katy on fireworks
@Mari
If that was the case then it’s not overrated to you and others because others are doing it and not others. If Katy, Rihanna, and Ke$ha weren’t getting number ones, then it wouldn’t matter to you guys. Just like you guys say #1 albums don’t matter because Rihanna hasn’t got one, just like you guys say Grammy’s don’t matter because she ain’t got one solo, just like VMA’s, AMA’s, etc. don’t matter that much because she doesn’t have as many as people would expect her to have.
So yes, it is overrated because certain artists like Katy and Rihanna get them and not REAL artists like Janelle Monae. Even back in the day when Milli Vanilli and Paula Abdul were constantly getting number ones out the ass, but at least there was a balance because Mariah and MJ were accomplishing number ones as well.
have not been here for a while but would love to congratulate katy on getting 3 #1’s of the same album.
Rihanna has done it b4, and katy stays playing catch-up.
and looking at the reception of Loud, rihalla is looking good to rack up at least on more chart topper b4 she is done. she has PLENTY more singles to release.
the haters stay constipated.
😆
You Rihanna stans are really RIHtarded.
If you wanna brag a bout #1’s, when Rihanna HAS scored a number one with singles from LOUD (OG & WMN) she’s stayed ONE WHOLE WEEK for each, WOW! That’s just an impossible feat, right? 9#1’s and still less weeks at number one than artists who have scored FEWER number ones. Tsk, Tsk.
YOU ALL ARE HYPING OF THIS HO? AND THAT HO?
MARIAH HAD 4 CONSECUTIVE #1 SOLO SONGS FROM ONE ALBUM, AND THE FIRST SINGLE FROM HER FOLLOWING ALBUM WAS #1. MAKING HER HAVE 5 CONSECUTIVE US BB HOT 100 #1 SINGLES. THE CROWN STILL AND WILL ALWAYS GO TO MARIAH. THESE INTERIM SINGERS WILL FADE AWAY AS SOON AS THE REAL SINGER/SONGWRITERS COME BACK INTO THE MAINSTREAM. THE SECOND COMING OF THE 80’S IS ALMOST OVER!
She looks so cute in that picture… Like shes 16!!! But… Everytime I hear fireworks LIVE I have to change the channel!!! To be honest there are hardly talented artists that are out there and popular!!! Congrats to her but…. Oh… And TGJ if you hate Rih, then you should be hating on this girl too… And I ain’t fan of either!
Cannot wait for 2011 when (I pray) RnB and talent make a comeback!! R Kels, Brittany Spears, CB, Beyonce, John Legend!!! #ICan’tTakeIt
Please B****** stay on topic!!!! Why are we putting rihanna’s name in the same sentence as the Queens name! Beyonce!!! Please girl sit down, number ones do matter but that only thing it (for these untalented folk) proves she is a product, doesn’t mean she is talented!!! That’s like comapry Kary Perry to Modonna or Britney! You can’t do that because (no offense) but they are REAL talent! Oh and @TLC if ‘Features’ for Rihanna can count for a number 1, then so can ‘Group’ for all the members of Destiny’s Child!!! Please take a seat and think!!! Deuces
Congrats Katy!!
Really? Because I’m pretty sure GaGa set a record for four consecutive #1’s on her debut album. (Just Dance, Poker Face, LoveGame, and Paparazzi) Fo real,
Plus, Katy rhymes “sky” with “uhh”. You think that since other people write her songs for her, she could at least have the sense to choose something more creative. Sit down with your generic pop, Katy Perry.
WOW monica held that title for 11 years…woah thats huge.
congrats to katy tho
