With Perry having released her new single, here's a look at her top performing songs so far.
A song that will last forever. I believe Roar is a power song, it revitalizes you. I know that ever since Katy Perry became known I have loved her music. This is coming from someone who grew up on 70's and 80's music; but you have to roll with the changes. Katy is a musician that combines all genres into her music, that is why she is so successful.

Upon the release of the new Katy Perry song, 'Bon Appetit,' featuring Migos, at midnight (April 28), let's look back at her prior Billboard Hot 100 smashes.
Impressively, Perry has tallied nine Hot 100 No. 1s (among 14 top 10s), beginning with 2008's 'I Kissed a Girl,' from her breakthrough album, One of the Boys. In the chart's 58-year history, Perry boasts the fifth-most No. 1s among female soloists. (Mariah Carey leads with 18.)
Perry's follow-up LP, 2010's Teenage Dream, generated five Hot 100 No. 1s, matching Michael Jackson's Bad (1987-88) for the most leading singles from an album.
Perry added another Hot 100 No. 1, 'Part of Me,' from Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection, in 2012, while her most recent album, 2013's PRISM, produced two more toppers: 'Roar' and 'Dark Horse,' the latter featuring Juicy J.
In honor of her new music, let's count down the biggest Katy Perry songs to chart on the Hot 100.
