With her new single E.T. jumping to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, Katy Perry is tied and set to take over a record previously held by Mariah Carey (ugh) and Santana (double-ugh) for the second most straight weeks in the top 10. At 42 weeks, Perry began her streak in last May with California Gurls and has stayed in the upper echelon since with Teenage Dream, Firework and E.T. all hitting the top 10, sometimes simultaneously. The act who holds the record you ask? Ace of Base!! Wow! Who knew? The Swedish pop act from the early 90s holds the record at 48 with the songs All That She Wants, The Sign and Don't Turn Around. That was all the way back in 1993-94. Hmm. Katy could easily tie and break that record if E.T. holds on a few more weeks, and with the video not even out yet it's a good bet I would say. Go, Katy!! What a great year it's been for you, girl!
