Throughout much of 2026, Katy Perry<\/a> has been rising on Billboard\u2019s global charts with her song \u201cThe One That Got Away.\u201d The tune was pushed as a single from her album Teenage Dream more than a decade ago, but in today\u2019s entirely online world, anything can go viral at any moment, and seemingly for no reason. Younger audiences first heard \u201cThe One That Got Away\u201d on TikTok only a few months ago, while longtime fans embraced the track once more after it surged in popularity.<\/p>\n \u201cThe One That Got Away\u201d quickly became the Grammy nominee\u2019s highest-ranking hit on both the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S., and it rose to new peak positions on tallies all around the world. Perry seized the moment and released a new song, \u201cWatch It Burn,\u201d less than a month ago, hoping to capitalize on the success of her older smash. While \u201cWatch It Burn\u201d underperforms and reaches only a single Billboard roster, the track does help her make history in one specific fashion.<\/p>\n \u201cWatch It Burn\u201d Debuts on Only One Billboard Chart<\/p>\n \u201cWatch It Burn\u201d<\/a> misses many of Billboard\u2019s most important charts, including the Billboard Hot 100, Digital Song Sales, Streaming Songs lists and both global rosters, but it does become a radio win. The track opens at No. 38 on this week\u2019s Adult Pop Airplay<\/a> list. The tally ranks the most successful tunes at radio stations throughout the U.S. that focus on the more mature \u2013 \u201cadult\u201d \u2013 side of pop, and it is one of three pop radio rosters published by Billboard each week.<\/p>\n Katy Perry Claims the Fifth-Most Adult Pop Airplay Hits<\/p>\n \u201cWatch It Burn\u201d earns Perry her thirty-first career placement on the Adult Pop Airplay chart. Billboard<\/a> reports that as the single arrives, Perry now claims the fifth-most hits on the radio roster. Before \u201cWatch It Burn,\u201d Perry was tied with Justin Bieber and Kelly Clarkson, who have both snagged a milestone 30 smashes.<\/p>\n Katy Perry Trails Taylor Swift and Ariana Grande<\/p>\n Perry only needs a few more hits on the Adult Pop Airplay chart before she advances again. Ariana Grande is her closest competitor with 33 tunes, though with a new album, Petal, expected this month, she will likely add to her total soon. Pink and Maroon 5 are tied with 34 apiece.<\/p>\n Taylor Swift leads all acts, and she sits in a distant first place. The singer-songwriter has sent 55 songs to the Adult Pop Airplay chart, placing her more than 20 hits ahead of both Maroon 5 and Pink, and her record may never be tied.<\/p>\n LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA – JUNE 09: (EDITORIAL USE ONLY.

Before this week, \u201cCozy Little Christmas\u201d owned that distinction after spending one frame at No. 37.<\/p>\n Katy Perry Earned Her Last Hit Less Than a Year Ago<\/p>\n It has been less than a year since Perry earned her thirtieth hit on the Adult Pop Airplay chart. \u201cBandaids\u201d launched in November 2025, and by February of this year, it had climbed to its peak of No. 11. The single tied \u201cThinking of You\u201d and \u201cBirthday\u201d by missing out on cracking the top 10 by just a single space.<\/p>\n Katy Perry Has Scored Eight No. 1 Smashes<\/p>\n Of Perry\u2019s 31 tracks to appear on the Adult Pop Airplay chart, 16 have entered the top 10. Exactly half of those have climbed all the way to No. 1.<\/p>\n Here are all of Perry\u2019s No. 1s on Billboard\u2019s Adult Pop Airplay chart.<\/p>\n “California Gurls”“Firework”<\/a>“Hot N Cold””Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)””Roar””Teenage Dream””The One That Got Away””Wide Awake”ForbesKaty Perry\u2019s New Single Underperforms And Misses Most Major ChartsBy Hugh McIntyre<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Katy Perry’s “Watch It Burn” helps her break her tie with Justin Bieber and Kelly Clarkson as she…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":795994,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[49,48,75,4417,253637,253636,279210,279213,279211,280653,279212,341,253630,278003],"class_list":["post-795993","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-entertainment","tag-katy-perry","tag-katy-perry-billboard","tag-katy-perry-charts","tag-katy-perry-watch-it-burn","tag-katy-perry-watch-it-burn-billboard","tag-katy-perry-watch-it-burn-charts","tag-katy-perry-watch-it-burn-radio","tag-katy-perry-watch-it-burn-sales","tag-music","tag-the-one-that-got-away","tag-watch-it-burn"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/795993","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=795993"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/795993\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/795994"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=795993"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=795993"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=795993"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
