Whether you’re hot or you’re cold or you’re yes or you’re no, you couldn’t have gone far in the 2010s without hearing this teenage dream’s anthems. Katy Perry is a California singer and songwriter who gained widespread popularity in the late 2000s and early 2010s. She is known for her catchy pop music and colorful, energetic stage performances.

Perry released her first major-label album, “One of the Boys,” in 2008, which spawned the hit singles “I Kissed a Girl” and “Hot n Cold.” This album established her as a major pop star and helped to launch her career.

In 2010, Perry released her follow-up album, “Teenage Dream,” which became a blockbuster success. The album included hit singles such as “California Gurls,” “Firework,” and “E.T.” and helped to solidify Perry’s position as one of the most successful pop artists of the decade.

This artist is one of the 8 artists in the 2010s decade who rated with 100% for the Lead vs. Featuring Rate. The full list of top 25 artists with this statistic are: Adele, Ed Sheeran, Flo Rida, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Maroon 5, Post Malone, and The Chainsmokers.

Though Katy Perry ranked #2 by just a few points, she did not win the Artist of the Summer 2014 award. The Artist of the Summer 2014 award goes to Meghan Trainor (#32 ranking for the decade) who topped the summer charts with songs like “All About That Bass” and “Lips Are Movin’”.
