Katy Perry celebrates her latest diamond achievements with a humorous video and a new single on the horizon.
aty Perry is about to drop her new single “Woman’s World,” kicking off an exciting new chapter in her storied career. As fans gear up for the release of this dance-pop anthem, Perry has some impressive new accolades to celebrate, solidifying her spot as one of the biggest names in pop music.
The RIAA has just certified Perry’s album Teenage Dream (released on August 24, 2010) as diamond, meaning it has sold a whopping 10 million equivalent units in the U.S. This makes Teenage Dream Perry’s most successful album by far, especially when looking at certifications. Her next album, Prism, has been certified five-times platinum, which is still half of what Teenage Dream has achieved. Her debut album One of the Boys has gone triple platinum, and her album Witness has earned gold status.
But that’s not all—two of Perry’s singles from Teenage Dream have also hit diamond status. “Teenage Dream” and “E.T.” have both been certified diamond by the RIAA, joining the ranks of her previous diamond singles. Before this week, Perry already had four diamond singles: “Firework,” “Dark Horse,” “California Gurls” with Snoop Dogg, and “Roar.” With these new additions, she now has six diamond singles in total.
Looking ahead, “Hot N Cold” might be Perry’s next track to go diamond, as it’s currently at eight-times platinum. “I Kissed a Girl” and “Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)” are both at six-times platinum, and their numbers are expected to keep climbing.
To celebrate the achievement, Katy Perry made a humorous video of herself dusting off her new awards, which she shared across her social media accounts. She captioned it, "just did some housecleaning this weekend hbu."
Perry’s upcoming single “Woman’s World” is set to be released on Thursday, July 11, with the music video following on Friday, July 12. This will be her first single as a lead artist in a few years, and fans are eagerly waiting for more details about a potential album later this year.
