She's had the most CHR success save Lady Gaga of any new artist in quite a while, right? I'd say so. Save LG, she's probably made the biggest splash since Rihanna entered the scene in 2005.

Yes Yes Yes!!!
So happy about this i knew it would smash when everyone else had doubts...
I remember when Madonna's 4 Minutes was released ... she did a radio interview on a Phoenix radio station and they asked what her favorite artist was of the moment and she said "Katy Perry" and nobody at the station new who she was. They quickly googled her and what not. And played "Your So Gay:... lol... Now look at this.
Sweet that new Madonna is also out this week .. :)
Cheers Katy! You deserve it ... great single!

I remember that! It's my local station, and I remember that's how I (along with several others, I suspect) discovered her! I'm pretty sure that station was also her first radio interview, as well (so they've said).

Time for some history class here, wasn't "Ur So Gay" serviced to pop radio right before "IKAG", just to get a buzz going? I have some vague memory of following its spins, but I just can't remember clearly.

I don't think it was ever sent for adds, but it was favored to be the first single a long time ago before being switched to Girl.

Hot 'N Cold was actually going to be the first single, but it was switched to 'IKAG'.
Congrats Katy for her second #1 :)

I guess they had two almost first singles then-I believe the very, very, very first one was Ur So Gay. I remember people being all "offended" about it LOL. I am glad they eventually settled on Girl with Hot and Cold second.

On the Pop 100 Airplay I believe she was last week, and she must've had more audience than the BEP since that chart's based on audience. That's also why she reportedly has 3 CHR #1s, because IKAG, HNC and WUIV all spent weeks with the highest audience level. TOY obviously didn't get counted as part of her #1s since it only made top 20. ;)

I am glad they eventually settled on Girl with Hot and Cold second. LOL. People were offended by "Ur So Gay," but it's not like "I Kissed a Girl" helped calm their hatred down. Which is probably why "Hot N Cold" was such a bigger hit, both radio and sales wise. Less people were offended. Sadly, the radio and sales would never match up, so it had to settle for a number three peak on the Hot 100. I am a bit disappointed "Ur So Gay" never got correct single treatment, because I love it, but at least it got a video. :) I think it did its job as well; started buzz for Katy.

Haha, I'm the opposite. I'm glad USG never got the mainstream push because I loathe that song, and if it wasn't for how ridiculously catchy IKAG was, I would never have become a fan.

I'm kinda surprised this ended up going all the way to #1, especially as a 4th single!! It's a great pop song so it's deserving, but we usually don't see that anymore...4th single goes to #1 after 3rd single flops?
Radio loves Katy, and a good tune!

I knew it was good enough and Pop-friendly enough to go Top 10, but I thought it would stall out around #7.
