Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream" Reaches 200th Week on Billboard 200 Chart

Just a month after performing at the Super Bowl, Katy Perry and her album Teenage Dream have achieved their 200th week on the Billboard 200 Chart.

Very few artists are in the 200 week club with the pop sensation. According to Billboard, some of her peers include Bruno Mars, Nirvana, Mumford & Sons and current arch nemesis Taylor Swift.

How long is 200 weeks though? It's 3.83 years. Yes, Teenage Dream has been popular for that long. That's 3.83 years of hearing "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)," "Teenage Dream," "Firework," "California Gurls" and "E.T." on the radio. Those five singles also set a record. The only other artist in history that has had five No. 1 singles on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart is the King of Pop himself, the late Michael Jackson.

So in there at least, she has T-Swift beat. Collectively,Perry and Swift have also been named by Rolling Stone for being of the 12 Biggest Feuds of 2014. Although the exact cause of the feud is yet to be determined, there has been hinting and name-calling on Twitter and in several interviews.

Despite the escalating feud with Swift, so far 2015 has been a big year for Katy Perry. She pulled off one of the most colorful, memorable and over-the-top Super Bowl halftime shows in recent years. Then several weeks later, she wowed the Grammy's with her touching performance of "By The Grace of God" which spread awareness about domestic abuse. But Perry didn't get to walk away with a Grammy again this year...it was probably one of the few dark spots on her 2015 so far.
