Does Katy Perry REALLY make Hot 100 History?

When an artist that I perceive as shit makes it into 'HISTORY' I get really really annoyed. The press clamber on top of the story without really thinking about the implications of what they are writing about. This isn't me being dramatic, this is me guarding the vaults. Is the name 'Katy Perry' really equal to 'Michael Jackson' as an artist? According to the press...yes.


All of the songs on Bad were written by one man, Michael Jackson, apart from Man In The Mirror which was written by Siedah Garret & Glen Ballard. Looking at Katy Perry's album we have the following writer credits -

Lukasz Gottwald, Max Martin, Benjamin Levin, Bonnie McKee, Mikkel S. Eriksen, Tor Erik Hermansen, Sandy Wilhelm, Ester Dean, Joshua Colman, Stacy Barthe, Monte Neuble, Greg Wells & Brian Thomas.

I mean COME ON!!!! Can we please not belittle the massive achievements of geniuses by comparing them with talentless morons who can't even sing a note let alone write a song like Dirty Diana.

Jog on.
