Hot on the heels of Katy Perry's debut album release last Saturday, comes both confirmation that her #1 reining single 'I Kissed A Girl' has gone platinum with sales of over 70,000 copies, along with rumours of a visit to Australia in October.
'I Kissed A Girl' was co-written by Perry and produced by Lukasz "Dr. Luke" Gottwald (Avril Lavigne, Kelly Clarkson). It was a #1 digital song chart hit in both the US and Canada and also topped the US iTunes Top Songs chart, was a #1 US iTunes Ringtone, and a number 2 US Music Video.
Katy's 'One Of The Boys' album debuted in the US at #9 on the Soundscan Top two hundred Chart and Perry marked her mid June American album outlet week by kicking off the 2008 Vans Warped Tour for the intact US summer.
�One Of The Boys' is a astute and witty pop-rock gem filled with candid tales of neurotic ex-boyfriends ('Hot N Cold', 'U R So Gay', 'Mannequin'), crazy road trips with friends ('Waking Up in Vegas'), and computation out wHO you are along the way (number one single 'I Kissed A Girl', 'Fingerprints'). While the album displays Perry's huffy, girl-power browbeat, it too reveals her more vulnerable side on such regretful ballads as 'Lost', 'I'm Still Breathing' and 'Thinking of You'.
"I think people can apprize a ballad maker who shows different sides, and this album has many different colours," Perry says. "I can compose my share of angry break-up songs but I wanted to balance it out with fun, summer songs. But there are also sad songs some loss and making the wrong decisions. It's been blood, lather, and weeping making this record. I've put everything into it and I feel like it's my baby. When people� heed to it, I hope they testament understand where I'm approach from as a person."
The album 'One Of The Boys' and the single 'I Kissed A Girl' are in stores now
