Katy Perry has made history.
More details below…
Taking to press, the Recording Industry Association of America has upgraded several Perry certifications, including upgrading both her song and album ‘Teenage Dream’ to Diamond status for the sales equivalent of 10,000,000 units sold in the United States. Additionally, her song ‘E.T.’ also reached Diamond status.
As a result of the new certifications, Perry becomes the fourth female artist to have a Diamond album and single in the United States. She joined Mariah Carey (‘All I Want For Christmas Is You,’ ‘Daydream,’ and ‘Music Box’), Whitney Houston (‘I Will Always Love You,’ ‘Whitney,’ ‘Whitney Houston,’ and ‘The Bodyguard’), and Taylor Swift (‘Shake It Off’ and ‘Fearless’).
The news comes as Perry gears up to release her new song ‘Woman’s World’ on July 11.
