Katy Perry has become the first woman to score five number one songs from one album in the US Billboard charts.
The I Kissed A Girl star – who was dismissed by some critics as a one-hit wonder when she first came on the scene – set the record with her new single Last Friday Night (TGIF).
This is the latest top chart-topper from her platinum album Teenage Dream.
Only Michael Jackson had five number ones from a single record before Katy, from Bad.
But the king of pop spent a total of seven weeks at the top with his Bad songs.
Meanwhile Katy, 26, has been on top now for a cumulative 18 weeks.
The singer – married to British funnyman Russell Brand – had her first major hit with I Kissed a Girl in 2008.
