2008 - Katy Perry Releases ‘One Of The Boys’

Katy Perry released her breakthrough album "One Of The Boys" on June 17, 2008.

The singer, 23 years old at the time of the album's release, had put out a previous LP while still in her teens under her real name, Katy Hudson. That debut disc had been a Christian rock effort, reflecting her religious upbringing.

"One Of The Boys," the first LP released under the name Katy Perry, was a significant change from her first effort. This was evidenced by her first single, "I Kissed A Girl," which climbed to number one on the Billboard 100 and made Perry one of the top stars in pop music.

The album also featured the hit singles "Hot n Cold" and "Waking Up In Vegas."
