Billboard Women in Music event on Friday, Nov. 30, in New York City,
capping off a year that's seen the pop star break chart records,
release a 3D feature film and bring her candy- colored tour all over
the world.
After launching into the mainstream with the saucy single "I Kissed a
Girl" and hit album "One of the Boys," Perry set fire to the charts
with 2010's "Teenage Dream." The record-setting
album notched five Hot 100 No. 1s, a first for an album by a female
artist, and has sold 2.5 million copies in the U.S., according to
Nielsen SoundScan. "Dream" spent over 100 weeks
in the Billboard 200.
