Katy Perry Ties Billboard Record

Katy Perry joins Janet Jackson and George Michael to tie for the record for having six top-five hits from a single album on the Hot 100 chart in Billboard history.

Thanks to Katy’s latest Teenage Dream single, “The One That Got Away,” jumping five spots from #9 to #4, she tied the two pop stars.

It’s been a while since anyone matched George and Janet. Michael did it in the mid-’80s with his album Faith, which included hits like the title track, “I Want Your Sex” and “Father Figure.” Jackson followed him several years later with Rhythm Nation 1814, which launched hits like “Love Will Never Do (Without You),” “Escapade” and “Black Cat.”

This is hardly Perry’s first Billboard record. She previously tied with Michael Jackson and his Bad album when she notched five #1 singles from her 2010 album. Those five chart-toppers are “Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.),” “California Gurls,” “Teenage Dream,” “Firework” and “E.T.” And now, she’s set her latest record with “The One That Got Away.”

“This song shows a very different side of me that I haven’t shown with my past singles on this record,” Perry has previously said about the Teenage Dream midtempo track. “I think that everyone can relate to this song. I wrote this song about when you promise someone forever, but you end up not being able to follow through. It’s a bittersweet story — hopefully, the listener learns from hearing it and never has to say they had ‘The One’ get away.”

Janet Jackson Wants To Work With Lady Gaga

Everyone wants to work with Gaga now that she’s topped every chart around the globe. The latest celebrity to speak up is Janet Jackson.

“What I love about GaGa is her story, where she came from. Before she made it, before anyone knew who she was, I knew who she was and, to see her finally make it, I was so happy. If we were to work together that would be cool.”

So Janet knew Gaga before she was Gaga…that’s a story I’d like to hear. How did she know who she was?

This isn’t the first time Janet’s gotten press for speaking out about Gaga. Remember when she said “She [Gaga] works so hard and I told her I think she needs to slow down just a little bit, take some time out for herself.” Looks like Janet wouldn’t mind adding to Gaga’s work load now that she’s trying to keep herself in the spotlight.

Janet Jackson Is Worried About Lady Gaga

Janet Jackson loves her some Lady Gaga but she’s worried that Gaga may be pushing herself too hard!

Jackson tells MTV, “I really love GaGa and she’s a sweetheart. It’s not always the case when you meet them (superstars). You can enjoy their work, but it’s not always so pleasant when you get to know their personality, and she truly is a sweetheart. She’s definitely doing something different and I love that.”

Janet also shared her concerns about Lady Gaga. She said, “She works so hard and I told her I think she needs to slow down just a little bit, take some time out for herself.”

Janet isn’t the first star to voice their concern about Lady Gaga’s health. Ryan Tedder from the group OneRepublic warned Gaga to “be careful” not to burn herself out.

About a month ago Lady Gaga passed out on stage a couple of times and she said that sleep deprivation was the main cause, “I was so jetlagged, I got in the night before and the jetlag just really caught up with me. I passed out about three times on stage that night but I got myself to the floor. I’d rather die on stage than walk off the stage because I was going to pass out… It’s never happened to me before, I was just really tired.”

Be careful Miss Gaga!! Safety first!

“We Are The World 25 For Haiti” Premiers At The Olympics Opening Ceremonies

If you missed the Opening Ceremonies of the Vancouver Olympics on Friday night, chances are you missed the world premier of the ‘We Are The World 25 For Haiti’ remake.

A shortened, tightly edited version aired on NBC and there were definitely some surprises. The remake included many trends in popular music including everyone’s best friend, auto-tune. It also included rap, as well as translation into Creole, one of Haiti’s official languages. Michael Jackson posthumously appeared in the video alongside his sister, Janet. What was meant to be a touching tribute to Jackson was kind of awkward. Every other singer was filmed in front of a microphone while they were recording, however Janet was shot in front of a green screen with no microphone in sight and you couldn’t really hear her.

The song also started with Justin Bieber. I’m sure Bieber’s fans went nuts, but really? And I was surprised that Miley Cyrus wasn’t included in the shortened version. Cyrus sang on the second verse, which you can see in the extended version of the video here on iMusicDaily.

Regardless of what we think, ‘We Are The World 25 For Haiti’ is a great effort to raise money for Haiti. You can download the remake of ‘We Are The World 25 For Haiti’ and donate HERE.
