Since arriving the week of May 31, 2008, with I Kissed a Girl, Katy Perry's record on Pop Songs has been nearly impeccable. While 11 of Katy Perry's 15 chart entries have reached No. 1, three others still peaked in the top 10: I Kissed A Girl (No. 2), 2012's Part of Me (No. 3) and Dark Horse predecessor single Unconditionally (No. 8). Of her chart visits as a lead act, only Thinking Of You (No. 17, 2009) has fallen shy of the top 10. Dark Horse is the second Pop Songs No. 1 from Katy Perry's Capitol Records album, Prism. Lead track Roar (Awful title for a Katy Perry song. I Got The Eye Of The Tiger is a much better title, Katy Perry.) ruled for five weeks beginning in September. As previously reported, programmer interest was so high in Dark Horse that it debuted on Pop Songs the week of Dec. 21 prior to its release as a radio single (as Unconditionally was still scaling the chart). Dark Horse had previously been released digitally as a Prism preview track. Katy Perry has become one of the most consistent hit-makers for top 40, so the reality is once radio heard Prism, it reacted," Capitol Music Group executive VP Greg Thompson told Billboard in December. "The album is packed with singles."
