Katy Perry

In her 12 years with Capitol Records, Katy Perry has racked up a cumulative 50 billion streams alongside worldwide sales of over 47.5 million adjusted albums and 135 million tracks. With the singles “Roar," “Firework,” and “Dark Horse” each surpassing the 10 million threshold including song sales and streams, Perry became the first artist to earn three RIAA Digital Single Diamond Awards. Perry is one of only five artists in history to have topped 100 million certified units with their digital singles – and the first-ever Capitol Records recording artist to join the elite RIAA 100 Million Certified Songs club. She was the first to reach 100 million followers on Twitter. Perry’s 2015 Super Bowl performance is the highest-rated in the event’s history. Perry was the first female artist to have four videos surpass a billion views each. Her videos for “Firework”, “Last Friday Night” and “Bon Appetit” have over one billion views, while “Dark Horse” has surpassed the two billion mark. “Roar” now has over three billion views.

Her summer 2019 single, “Never Really Over,” off her latest album SMILE, is certified PLATINUM and was the biggest streaming launch of Perry’s musical career. 2020’s SMILE release has sold over 1.25 million adjusted albums, with nearly 2 Billion combined streams to date. In 2024, Perry received a lifetime achievement Video Vanguard Award at the MTV VMAs.
