SHE’S ALL THAT
It’s official. Santa Barbara tartlet Katy Perry has the number one album in the U.S. In its first week, Perry’s sophomore effort, Teenage Dream, had sold more than 190,000 units, almost double the number of her breakthrough debut, One of the Boys. The record has also been lauded by everyone from USA Today to Rolling Stone. For more Katy, visit katyperry.com.
