As announced last week, Perry will perform at this year’s Grammy Awards in Los Angeles on
February 13. Six-time nominee, Perry is up for four awards this year including the coveted Album of the Year, along with Best Pop Album, Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for “Teenage Dream” and Best Pop Collaboration With Vocals for “California Gurls” featuring Snoop Dogg. Perry has also been nominated for two BRIT awards for International Album and International Female Solo Artist. The BRIT awards will be handed out live on February 15 at the O2 Arena in London.
Teenage Dream was released in August, 2010 and has since sold five million copies world-wide. The album’s first single, “California Gurls” featuring Snoop Dogg was the biggest selling song of 2010 according to Soundscan with 4,398,212 tracks scanned. After “California Gurls” spent six weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100, Perry scored two follow-up number ones, with “Teenage Dream” and her current single “Firework,” making her the first female artist in 11 years to score three Billboard number one singles from the same album.
Perry is gearing up to launch the album’s fourth single “E.T.” which will impact radio next month. She will soon shoot the video with director Floria Sigismondi (Marilyn Manson, Bjork, David Bowie, Christina Aguilera, Muse, The White Stripes).
