Katy Perry’s music experienced a slight boost this week despite the criticism she’s received for being a glorified space tourist whose 11-minute ‘joyride for the super-rich’ on Monday left a significant carbon footprint here on planet Earth.
The 40-year-old pop star’s 2011 hit Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.) just landed the No. #142 spot with 1.4M total streams on the Global Spotify chart – according to Pop Base’s X account.
Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.) – produced by Dr. Luke and Max Martin – marked Katy’s sixth number-one single on the US Billboard Hot 100 when it was originally released.
Marc Klasfeld’s eight-minute music video featured cameos from Corey Feldman, Debbie Gibson, Darren Criss, Rebecca Black, Kenny G, Hanson, and Kevin McHale.
Perry – who’s amassed 115B streams in her 24-year career – averages 60.5M monthly listeners on the popular, subscription-only Swedish music-streaming platform.
The 13-time Grammy nominee is ‘still processing this incredible journey’ on Blue Origin’s New Shepard NS-31 mission during which she experienced three-four minutes of weightlessness at the Kármán line (62 miles above Earth).

The six-person all-female crew also included NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowe, bioastronautics research scientist Amanda Nguyen, CBS Mornings host Gayle King, film producer Kerianne Flynn, and Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos’ fiancée Lauren Sánchez.
Blue Origin spokesperson Bill Kircos told CNN on Monday that ‘some passengers’ flew ‘free of charge’ while others shelled out the refundable deposit of $150K normally required to start the process of reserving a seat.
Katy (born Katheryn Hudson) was supported on the ground in West Texas by her fiancé of six years, Orlando Bloom, and their four-year-old daughter Daisy Dove Bloom making her public debut.
‘My mama!’ the cherubic child – sporting a NASA suit – exclaimed as she watched Perry ascend toward space at more than three times the speed of sound.
‘Daisy is her life, and she is so protective of her but it was time to introduce her to the world,’ an insider exclusively told DailyMail.com.
‘This was the perfect way to let the world see her.’
The source continued: ‘They had to acknowledge that something could go wrong. If it did, Daisy would have been traumatized. Ultimately, Jeff was able to convince them that the risk was incredibly low.’
The former American Idol judge told reporters on Monday: ‘I’m full up from being able to get that gift of being a mom and go to space is incredible and I wanted to model courage and worthiness and fearlessness.’
Katy is next scheduled to kick off her 84-date The Lifetimes Tour with a three-night stand at Arena CDMX in Mexico City spanning April 23, 25, and 26.

‘I last toured in 2017 and now I have a four-year-old [daughter Daisy Dove Bloom], so this time will be a bit different,’ Perry said on Jimmy Kimmel Live! in January.
‘It will be [her first time around the world]. She’s not going to go everywhere! But what I’ve decided is… I used to start my shows around 9/9:15 maybe a little bit 9:30 and I was a punisher!
‘I’m going to start these shows at 8:30 cause I now understand that bedtime takes over an hour-and-a-half. I’m going to be considering all mothers around the world and fathers too.’
It marks the Kamala Harris supporter’s first tour in seven years in support of her dismally-reviewed seventh studio album 143 featuring the tone-deaf feminist anthem, Woman’s World.
Katy was reportedly contractually-obliged to work with producer Dr. Luke, whose nine-year legal battle against Kesha involved sexual assault allegations (which he denied).
