London: Pop singer Katy Perry has become the first woman to have five number one singles from the same album on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart.
According to contactmusic.com, Perry’s latest release “Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F)” made history as it became her fifth single from platinum record “Teenage Dream” to reach the top spot following the success of “California Gurls”, “Teenage Dream”, “Firework” and “E.T.”
