Since its release last week, "California Gurls" has been #1 at iTunes and has experienced incredible gains at radio. At top 40, it's already #20, up from #40 a week ago, and gaining over 2700 spins from last week, making the song an instant hit. I'd be pretty surprised if this isn't #1 on the Hot 100 tomorrow. Certainly it's a strong contender for the first song of summer 2010.
The song is produced by Max Martin, Dr. Luke and Benny Blanco. It reminds me a bit of late '90s daft punk. This is the first single from Perry's next album, Teenage Dream, with features a real dream team of behind-the-booth collaborations (the aforementioned plus Cathy Dennis, Tricky Stewart, Guy Sigsworth, Greg Wells, Ryan Tedder, Rodney Jerkins, Greg Kurstin and Rivers Cuomo from Weezer).

This is hands down her best song...EVER! She is really growing on me with "California Gurls" and "If We Ever Meet Again".
I'm still really partial to "Hot N Cold," but I do like this.
