By the time Katy Perry released her third album, Teenage Dream – her second on a major label – the project had already produced two singles that would reach No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. "California Gurls" with Snoop Dogg and the title track dominated the list of the most-consumed songs in the United States, and three more champions, "Firework," "E.T." and "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)," followed. Teenage Dream tied with Bad by Michael Jackson as the only albums in U.S. history to collect five No. 1s.
The last of that quintet, "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)," is enjoying something of a resurgence after another Teenage Dream single suddenly went viral several weeks ago. This time around, it debuts on multiple Billboard rankings, earning Perry a surprise win.
