Katy Perry Breaks Records

By drainu182 , Tags :

After becoming the fastest-rising single at pop radio in more than four years, Katy Perry’s “California Gurls” has shattered another record by scoring more than 13,000 spins in one week for the second consecutive week on both the BDS and Mediabase charts. “California Gurls” has become the all-time Mediabase Top 40 airplay record holder with 13,167 spins in one week — an average of 92 spins per week at a pace exceeding 13 times per day.

“Katy has set records and turned radio upside down,” says Greg Thompson, executive vice-president for promotion at Capitol Records. “This track has broken all-time spins records, and achieved massive Hot 100 audience numbers of historic proportion.”

“California Gurls,” the first single from the two-time Grammy-nominated pop sensation’s upcoming album Teenage Dream, has indisputably become the summer anthem of 2010. An irresistible, hook-filled clarion call to throw on Daisy Dukes and a bikini top, the track has spent 3 weeks at No. 1 at pop radio (setting the record for the quickest ascent to the top spot since Gwen Stefani’s “Hollaback Girl” in May 2005) and made the biggest leap to No. 1 since Mariah Carey’s “Shake It Off” in September 2005. It has also spent 8 weeks at No. 1 on the iTunes Singles chart. “California Gurls,” which features Snoop Dogg, has also set records for Perry’s label Capitol Records, enjoying the fastest ascension to No. 1 at Hot AC ever for a Capitol artist and the quickest rise to No. 1 for one of the label’s artists’ tracks since Bobbie Gentry’s “Ode to Billie Joe” in 1967. Last week, “California Gurls” reached an audience of 140 million, also the largest ever for a Capitol artist. It is expected to reach an audience of 150 million Hot 100 listeners this week.

“California Gurls” is just a taste of what’s to come when Perry unleashes Teenage Dream, which will be released by Capitol Records on August 24th in the U.S. and Canada; and August 30th in the rest of the world.

GOOD OLD WAR SURPRISE WITH #2 BILLBOARD HEATSEEKER DEBUT

By drainu182 , Tags :


Philadelphia trio GOOD OLD WAR has scored a #2 Heatseeker debut this week with their self-titled, sophomore album. Upon release, the album leapt to the #1 slot on Amazon’s overall digital chart, also making its way to #1 on iTunes Singer/Songwriter chart.

A devout fan base and online buzz has propelled the release’s momentum. The band has had two successful live performances on Ustream, drawing as many as 20,000 viewers. A fan contest has seen supporters posting tracks on social networks, hanging homemade flyers in student unions and creating awareness on platforms like Twitter. The band also performed several in-stores for retailers, including Best Buy and Portland’s Music Millennium.

The album, which contains “songs filled with tight harmonies, jangly guitars and memorable, country-tinged melodies” (Rolling Stone), is one of a handful that are leading a rock music renaissance in Pennysylvania. Philadelphia Weeklyremarks that Good Old War is “poised for a breakthrough on a national level.”

Much of the band’s success is owed to their intense touring schedule, which now finds them in the middle of a thirty-date headline run. Seattle Weekly notes, “After two albums and a couple hundred shows, Good Old War has turned into an immensely promising effort. In some ways, the trio could be Philadelphia’s answer to Fleet Foxes .”
