Katy Perry’s “Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)” rockets into the top five. Replacing Adele’s “Rolling In the Deep” at the Digital Songs summit, Perry’s “Friday” blasts 28-1 (235,000, up 259%). The song soars following the June 13 premiere of its star-studded video, whose guests include Rebecca Black, Hanson, Corey Feldman, Kenny G and Debbie Gibson. The clip has already netted 28.6 million YouTube views.

As Perry’s album “Teenage Dream” had become the only album to generate four Digital Songs No. 1s – “California Gurls,” featuring Snoop Dogg, the title cut, “Firework” and “E.T.,” featuring Kanye West – the set makes further history as the only release to yield a quintet of toppers.

Airplay is also spurring the fast Hot 100 flight of “Friday,” which jumps 40-21 in its second week on Radio Songs (44 million, up 57%). The song charges 25-13 as the Greatest Gainer on Pop Songs and enters Adult Pop Songs at No. 34. On the Hot 100, “Friday” flies 31-4 as the chart’s Digital Gainer.

Perry’s “E.T.” dips 4-5 on the Hot 100. With “Friday” one spot above, Perry is the first artist this year to place two titles in the top five simultaneously as a lead act.

“E.T.” by Katy Perry featuring Kanye West dips to #2, but it’s still a history-making week for the pop star, who becomes the first artist in the history of the Hot 100 to remain in the top 10 for a full year. Perry’s streak began with “California Gurls” (featuring Snoop Dogg), which debuted at #2 in the week ending May 16, 2010. It has continued with “Teenage Dream,” “Firework” and “E.T.” (featuring Kanye West).

“E.T.” tops the 3 million mark in digital sales this week. It’s Perry’s sixth song to reach that plateau, which is more than any other artist in digital history.

Perry’s songs to top the 3 million mark are (in chronological order) “I Kissed A Girl” (which is up to 4,046,000, per Nielsen SoundScan), “Hot N Cold” (4,878,000), “California Gurls” (featuring Snoop Dogg, 4,798,000), “Teenage Dream” (3,660,000), “Firework” (4,265,000) and now “E.T.” (3,157,000).

Katy Perry’s “E.T.,” featuring Kanye West, spends a fifth week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, to be released tomorrow (May 5) on Billboard.com, while Britney Spears’ “Till the World Ends” soars back into the top 10, and to a new chart peak, fueled by its superstar-studded remix.

“E.T.” (2-1) remains atop the Hot 100 courtesy of a second week at No. 1 on Radio Songs (138 million audience impressions, according to Nielsen BDS) and sixth week in charge of Digital Songs. As previously reported, “E.T.” sold slightly more than 300,000 downloads (down 13%), according to Nielsen SoundScan, edging out Adele’s “Rolling in the Deep,” which holds at No. 2 on the sales ranking (just under 300,000; up 1%) and the Hot 100.

Katy Perry’s latest single E.T featuring Kanye West is back to #1 on iTunes USA after days holding the #2 position while Adele’s ‘Rolling in The Deep’ was #1. ‘E.T.’ has sold more than 251.300 digital copies and is surely Katy’s most successfully song on iTunes because both of the versions are literally rocking the charts. The solo version (without Kanye) jumped from #88 to #20 earlier this week while ‘Firework’ takes the #26 position.

Yeaaah, KatyCats! The reign just can’t stop anymore.

Katy Perry gets her Christmas present early: “Firework” logs its third week atop the BIllboard Hot 100. Moving into No. 2 is Bruno Mars’ “Grenade, and will likely take over the top spot next week. Mars also has reason to celebrate as he ends the year with two songs in the top 10: “Just the Way You Are” moves 7-6.

Also logging two spots near the top is Rihanna: “What’s My Name” featuring Drake falls 2-3 and “Only Girl in the World” drops slightly from 6-7, according to Billboard.Pink’s “Raise You Glass” is No. 4, while Ke$ha’s “We R Who We R” stands at No. 5. The Black Eyed Peas hangs at No. 8 with “The Time (Dirty Bit),” and, rounding out the top 10, Lil Wayne bows at No. 9 with “6 Foot 7 Foot” and Nelly’s “Just a Dream” is No. 10.

Diddy Dirty Money look to have a hit on their hands with “Coming Home” as it moves 24-19. The highest debut belongs to Taio Cruz, whose “Higher” featuring Travie McCoy launches at No. 80.

Just a few weeks after topping the Atlanta radio chart with “California Gurls,” Katy Perry follows up with “Teenage Dream.” The pop song overtakes Bruno Mars’ “Just the Way You Are,” which lasted a month on top.

Her song was heard 276 times this past week: 64 times on Star 94, 90 times on Q100 and 122 times on the Groove.

That’s 59 spins ahead of Nelly’s “Just a Dream,” which is getting comparable spins on Q100 and the Groove but is getting no love from Star 94.

Katy Perry posts back-to-back No. 1s on the Billboard Hot 100, as “Teenage Dream” is set to top the chart when it’s released in full tomorrow morning (Sept. 9).

The last female artist to post successive No. 1 singles on the chart was Lady Gaga, who took her first two entries, “Just Dance” and “Poker Face,” to the summit in the first half of 2009.

Perry spent six weeks at No. 1 with her last radio single “California Gurls” earlier this summer, accumulating enough time in the upper reaches of the chart to lead the Summer Songs tally for most of the season. The final ranking of Top Summer Songs will also be announced tomorrow. On this week’s Hot 100, “California Gurls” dips 7-10.

“Teenage Dream” makes its surge to No. 1 thanks in part to a copping a second straight Airplay Gainer award, topping 100 million listener impressions for the first time with a 19% audience gain (7-5 on Radio Songs), according to Nielsen BDS. The track holds at No. 1 for a second week on Digital Songs with 221,000 (down 15%), according to Nielsen SoundScan.

Perry supplants Eminem, who was also enjoying a back-to-back No. 1 run on the Hot 100. “Love the Way You Lie,” featuring Rihanna, led for the past seven weeks (1-2), while his last single “Not Afraid” topped the chart for a week in May.
