HUGE Congrats to Katy Perry! While Eminem joins an exclusive boys club of chart achievers, Katy similarly earns an honor previously attained by just nine solo female artists.
As previously reported, Perry becomes the 10th woman to concurrently place two titles in the Hot 100′s top five as a lead act. Her “Teenage Dream” jumps 9-5, while her former six-week No. 1, “California Gurls,” rebounds 4-3.
