Very few artist have been able to match the sucess of Katy Perry since her first album dropped in June of 2008. Charting 4 top 40 singles 3 of which hit the the top 10 and first single "I kissed a girl" reaching number one. It was one of the years most sucessful albums and Katy was becoming a rising star. Katy could have been just another summer anthem one hit wonder but she showed her versatility with 2nd single "hot and cold" and 3rd single "thinking of you" Katy Perry bought a new edge to the pop scene before Lady Gaga began her domination a few months later. Katy brought a new look style and musicianship to the pop game which needed new players since the early 2000s pop explosion of Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, and Jessica Simpson some whom were struggling to stay sucessful in the music world and keep thier name out of the tabloids. "One of the boys" went on to sell over 5 million copies worldwide also earning 2 Grammy nominations
Katy returned in the sumemr of 2010 with another number 1 smash "California girls", which featured legendary California rapper Snoop Dogg. The song was light and carefree a style Katy has seemed to mastered and had girls everywhere wishing they were California girls. Sophomore album Teenage Dream was released August 2010 and has already had 6 songs reach the Billboard top 100 3 of which all spent time at the number one spot, a place that is becomings Katy's throne. so far the album has sold almost 900,00 copies and is sure to go platinum in 2011.
Rellz Insight: My personal thoughts on Katy Perry is that she is a smart Artist that knows what works for her. She isnt the best vocally but she provides a good live show and catchy singles that get stuck in your head. I wrote this piece about her because i feel Katy isn't appreciated and recognized enough for accomplishments in the industry. Katy definitely caught peoples attention wen she was nominated for album of the year at the 53rd annual Grammys and is sure to make 2011 just as successful as the past 3 years
