The second single from the album of the same name.
Spyke:
When I first heard that a new singer called Katy Perry had just claimed the 1,000th number one in the US i felt it was a little unjust, not that I agree with the UK's way of re-releasing Elvis tracks for months on end just so he got the title. However with Dr Luke and Max Martin behind her she followed up with the incredible Hot N Cold from her debut album. Since then she's had a string of hits with other artists such as Timbaland and 3oh!3, and established herself as an artist who's going to be around for a while. She's managed to maintain a constant stream of good media attention with her very high profile relationship with Russell Brand, plus with her string team of song writers behind her her new album looks set to deliver another set of great hits.
The song itself goes very hand in hand with California Gurls, it doesn't have the immediate effect of some of her earlier hits but just keeps getting better with every listen. Though currently I am quite enjoying the track when it comes on my itunes playlist, I never feel a strong enough urge to deliberately play it. It's another summery track which is set for big things: it'll struggle not be #1 in the US on the week of the album launch (with all the promo she has planned there) and with it's predecessor already the 10th biggest seller of the year here in the UK it could well be Katy's 3rd #1 here...
Chart Predictions:
