Katy Perry’s “Dark Horse” Gallops to No. 1 on Hot 100

Following her big performance of the song at the Grammys, Katy Perry’s “Dark Horse” has settled at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, rising 2-1. The song, featuring rapper Juicy J, marks Perry’s ninth domination of the Hot 100, placing the “Firework” singer into a five-way tie for 10th place among artist with the most chart-toppers.

Katy Perry’s No. 1 score with “Dark Horse” follows 2009’s “I Kissed A Girl,” 2010’s “California Girls,” 2010’s “Teenage Dream,” 2010’s “Firework,” 2011’s “E.T.,” 2011’s “Last Friday Night (TGIF),” 2012’s “Part Of Me” and 2013’s “Roar.”

Katy Perry may have missed out on a Grammy for Best Pop Vocal Performance (for her sixth consecutive year nominated), but the pop star is sitting gloriously atop the singles chart with the super-vibey “Dark Horse.”
