Teenage Dream was released in August 2010 and has since sold 5 million copies world-wide. The album’s first single, “California Gurls” was the biggest selling song of 2010 according to Soundscan. After “California Gurls” spent six weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, Katy scored two follow-up No. 1’s, with “Teenage Dream” and her current single “Firework,” making her the first female artist in 11 years to score three Billboard #1 singles from the same album. Katy is gearing up to launch the album’s 4th single “E.T.” which will impact radio next month.
