Katy Perry – ‘ET’ climbs to No. 2 on Billboard Hot 100

Despite being booed for even mentioning Justin Bieber in England this past week, the remix of Katy Perry's hit song ‘E.T.’ moved up one spot to No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart (week ending April 2).. This is the sixth week the song, featuring Kanye West, has been on the chart.

‘E.T. ' is from Perry’s hit album ‘Teenage Dream.’ The song joins ‘Firework’ (No. 15) as one of Katy’s two songs currently near the top of the Billboard chart. 'E.T.' jumped significantly on the Billboard Airplay chart from No 24 to No. 13. The singles also climbed from No. 2 to No. 1 on the Digital Singles chart, though physical single sales slipped from No. 4 to No. 11 on the Singles chart.

It was announced this past week in a video trailer that the official video for ‘E.T.’ will be launched on YouTube on March 31, which may help it catapult past Lady Gaga’s ‘Born This Way’ on the Hot 100.
