Katy Perry Equals Michael Jackson's US Singles Record

Katy Perry has equalled a chart record held by Michael Jackson for having five number one singles off the same album.

The singer has now become the first female single to score five US number one singles after releasing a remix version of her track 'Last Friday Night' featuring Missy Elliott.
