Globally the biggest single of 2010!
Spyke
What a fantastic year it has been for Katy Perry; both chart wise and with her marriage to Russell Brand (which I don't see the appeal of at all). California Gurls, with its incorrect spelling and all, managed to sell fantastically over the summer to become the 8th biggest seller of 2010. In my opinion it's completely overrated and my least favourite release of hers of the year. The other four releases all hit the top 3 and sold enough to make Katy the third biggest selling act of the year - Glee came second and Rihanna ran away with the title with sales topping 3 million.
My Katy Perry Singles Ranking of 2010:
1 Firework (3)
Absolutely brilliant! This held the title of most played track on my new laptop for a long time and is a epic feel good track which sees Katy shooting fireworks from her cleavage in the video.
2 Teenage Dream (2)
Was robbed of being a #1 by Olly Murs and Alexandra Burke, the track is a very fitting follow up to CG and really grows on you. The video helped Katy make her way upto #3 on my hottest girls chart (behind Rihanna & Megan Fox) and she'd be my teenage dream if I was still in my teens.
3 Starstrukk [with 3OH!3] (3)
I dread to think what all this wrong spelling is doing for kids! I loved the track prior to Katy being added to the single mix, it's just so much better for seeing her play around in a fountain in the video.
4 If We Ever Meet Again [with Timbaland] (3)
Timbaland's Shock Value II was underwhelming but this single helped salvage the campaign.
5 California Gurls (1)
I think when three girls came out of the club opposite my house last year singing this and got stuck after 'California Girls...' it emphasised how it's a nice track but very forgettable. It lacks the strong hooks that I Kissed A Girl and Hot N Cold provided so successfully in 2009.
