Katy Perry leads US singles chart

NEW YORK: Katy Perry's "E.T.," featuring Kanye West, spent a second week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart on Thursday, bolstered by the premiere of its effects-heavy video a week ago.

Rihanna's "S&M" was also unchanged, at No. 2, while the Black Eyed Peas' "Just Can't Get Enough" rose two to No. 3. Cee Lo Green's "F**k You (Forget You)" at No. 4 and Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" at No. 5 each slipped one place.

Chris Brown's "Look at Me Now," featuring Lil Wayne and Busta Rhymes, rose one to No. 6; Jeremih's "Down on Me," featuring 50 Cent, jumped two to No. 7; Jennifer Lopez's "On the Floor," featuring Pitbull, was also up two, to No. 8; and Pink's "F**kin' Perfect" dropped one to No. 9.

British singer/songwriter Adele claimed her first top-10 hit in the United States as "Rolling in the Deep" soared seven places. The track comes from her hit album "21," which recently ruled the Billboard 200 chart for three weeks, and is expected to reclaim its crown when data are released next Wednesday. (Reuters)

Katy Perry unveils 'E.T' music video

Katy Perry has unveiled the music video for her latest single 'E.T'.

The singer teased fans via her Twitter page ahead of its premiere by asking: "Are you ready for abduction?" before posting the clip on YouTube.

The promo sees the star hurtling through space towards a destroyed planet Earth and turning a robot into a human.

Kanye West, who also features in the clip and the radio edit of the track, tweeted at the star: "Congrats friend, we did it! #sweet."

Discussing the song, Perry said in a press release: "The main gist of the song is that it is a metaphor about finding someone who is just obviously not from this world because how could they love me like this?

"Even though it is a metaphor, I'm very interested in all things futuristic. I mean, I complain every day that the hoverport has not been invented. I think it's absolutely ridiculous."

'E.T' marks Perry's fourth consecutive number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and currently sits at 18 on the UK chart.
