Katy Perry makes Billboard chart history with fifth No. 1
By Jen Blushi
Her latest single, "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)," has become her fifth No. 1 song off her "Teenage Dream" album.
The song hit the top position on Billboard's Pop Songs chart Monday, making her the only artist in the chart's nearly 19-year history to accomplish such a feat. Her singles also make up five out of the six titles with the highest-ever weekly spin totals.
Perry has had a monumental year. In addition to her five No. 1 songs, she is also the only artist in history to be VMA-nominated for four separate videos in a single year, and her movie debut in "The Smurfs" just barely missed the top of the box office.
If "Last Friday Night" reaches No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, she will join the likes of Michael Jackson, who had five No. 1 songs on the Hot 100 from his album "Bad."
The writer of this article seems to be impressed with Katy's music career. The writer also neglects to mention that the record was set by MJ FIRST. But he is being awfully generous and kind to say that Katy "shares" this feat with MJ... Yes, I'm being sarcastic. I think it shows the sad direction that music is going. Does Katy write her own songs??? Yes, I'm sure she probably does...I've heard her songs.... Or is she simply another "robot" manufactured by this money- hungry "music machine"? Yes, I'm sure she probably is.
I personally want to congratulate Katy, no, really I do....However, she will NEVER defeat the KING's "Thriller" album record!!! Music is definitely NOT what it used to be. MJ you are the KING and you will ALWAYS be the BEST!!!

some examples:
Why the finger tapes??
Michael Beardon (Musical Director of This Is It) has to answer:
"I asked him one day" MJ why you have this tape in your hands? "I always wanted to know, and I could ask him personally afterwards. If you can ask someone like Michael need something, what would you ask him?
And so great was Michael, he has replied to me.
"You want to really know you?" The tape around his fingers, he said, well, that feels good. And you see it, the white tape, your eyes follow him automatically. This is one of the show-biz things he learned when he was a child.
