One of five recording artist in RIAA history to be part of the ‘100 Million Certified Song’ club, Perry is among the best-selling pop artists of all time.

Since her 2008 album One of the Boys, she’s racked up 115 billion streams alongside worldwide sales of over 70 million adjusted albums and 143 million tracks – making her the biggest-selling female artist in Capitol Records’ history.

Her sophomore studio LP Teenage Dream ushered in one of the most fruitful periods for any artist ever. In addition to massive hits ‘Firework’ and ‘California Gurls,’ the 9x Platinum album’s titular track as well as ‘E.T.’ have each reached 10x Platinum Status.

In September, the singer sold the rights to her catalogue of music for a reported $225 million (€210.4m).

Elsewhere, the Santa Barbara native recently wrapped up her Las Vegas residency, PLAY, and completed her seventh consecutive season as a judge on American Idol.

A UNICEF ambassador, Perry has also been one of many high-profile musicians to urge for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, recently taking to Instagram to call for an “end to the senseless killing of children” to her 207 million followers.
