Global pop superstar Katy Perry's fourth single from her Grammy nominated album, Teenage Dream, has broken yet another record.

"E.T." featuring Kanye West notched 12,330 radio plays in one week marking the highest number of plays in a single week in the history of the Nielsen BDS mainstream top 40 survey.

"E.T." holds the top spot followed by "California Gurls," "Firework" and "Teenage Dream." With the success of "E.T.", Katy is also the first female artist in over 20 years to score four No. 1 singles from the same album on Billboard's Hot 100 as Teenage Dream stands as only the ninth album to log at least four No. 1s since the chart's launch the week of Aug. 4, 1958.

The singer's next single from Teenage Dream will be "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)".

Katy recently performed "E.T." with Kanye West on American Idol and she also appears on the cover of the June issue of Vanity Fair, shot by Annie Leibovitz in Paris earlier this year.

She has been touring internationally since early 2011, making stops across Europe, Australia, New Zealand and Japan, and will kick-off an extensive 60-city North American run on June 7th touring through mid-September.
