Katy Perry is back with "The One That Got Away" — Sleeve of the latest single from Katy Perry

CHART SPOTLIGHT. Katy Perry has released yet another hit single from her Teenage Dream album. Again, Max Martin and Dr. Luke have written and produced ‘The One That Got Away’ which bows at No.22 on this week’s UK singles tally.

Just falling short of a top 20 position, Katy Perry is just behind Justin Bieber at No.21. Available in a range of remixes by the likes of 7^th Heaven and JRMX, the single has so far been unable to set the charts on fire in the US. To date, ‘The One That Got Away’ has peaked at No.94 on the Billboard Hot 100. Interesting to note, Katy Perry mashed her latest hit single with Adele’s No.1 hit ‘Someone Like You.’ See it below.

Countdown to Alexandra Stan’s Saxobeat

CHART SPOTLIGHT. Mark the calendar for the September release of Saxobeats, the debut album from Romanian disco queen Alexandra Stan. Currently charting with “1 Million,” the album will of course include the two hits “Mr. Saxobeat” and “Get Back (ASAP).”

“1 Million” features the guest rapper Calprit who reigns from Zimbabwe. He has also collaborated with the electro house producer Laurent Wolf and German singer Cascada. Following the same routine as Inna, Alexandra Stan is one of many Romanian dance acts who experience great success at the moment.

The Return of the Sax

In a recent article in the leading Swedish news daily Svenska Dagbladet, the reporter Jenny Damberg highlights that saxophones are suddenly everywhere. In addition to Alexandra Stan’s “Mr. Saxobeat,” Kenny G gatecrashes Katy Perry’s “Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.),” while Clarence Clemons is featured on Lady Gaga’s “Edge of Glory.” Alternative acts such as Deerhunter, Destroyer and Patrick Wolf also pay tribute to the sax.

Adele Atop of Australia’s Singles and Album Tallies

CHART SPOTLIGHT. According to Digital Spy, “Someone Like You” still rules the Australian singles chart. WelcheMusic has already highlighted the upcoming new hit single from Adele – “Set Fire to the Rain.” On an interesting note, Muzic Magazine highlights that the singer tops both the singles and albums chart despite never setting foot in the country.

LFMAO remains the runner-up with “Party Rock Anthem,” where Christina Perri moves 6-3 with “Jar of Hearts.”

Katy Perry – who had to cancel shows due to food poisoning, falls to No.6 with “Last Friday Night.” Elsewhere on the chart, Bruno Mars cracks the top ten with “Marry You.”

Michael Jackson’s Death Marks 2 Year Anniversary

CHART REWIND. Today marks the two-year anniversary of Michael Jackson’s death. WelcheMusic remembers the singer’s posthumous career. Back in November 2010, the Michael album was released via Sony. To date, three singles have been issued to promote the album. The most successful to date is the collaboration with Akon – “Hold My Hand” spent four weeks in the top ten in Sweden, finally peaking at No.8. The album includes guest performances from 50 Cent, Lenny Kravitz and Foo Fighter’s Dave Grohl.

“Breaking News” Promoted Official Web-site

The song “Breaking News” was never released as a single, but promoted the set via Michael Jackson’s official web-site. The set did peak at No.1 in various territories (e.g. Sweden and Germany), while reaching No.3 in the US.

You can have a look at the TMZ’s timeline from the moment they found something was terribly wrong with Michael. Still a legend, Michael Jackson is so far the only artist who has collected five Hot 100 No.1s from a single album. Bad includes “I Just Can’t Stop Loving You,” the title track, “The Way You Make Me Feel,” “Man in the Mirror” and “Dirty Diana.”

Katy Perry Closing in on Record

According to Billboard, Katy Perry is closing in on tying that record! Her latest album Teenage Dream has already yielded the No.1 hits “California Gurls,” the title cut, “Firework” and “E.T.” Now she’s set to claim the top spot with “Last Friday Night.”
