If her latest single, Last Friday Night (TGIF), reaches the top spot in the US charts, she will have had five No1s from the same album. The King Of Pop was the last star to achieve that feat - with 1987 album Bad.
And the 26-year-old singer will be the first female to hit the mark in the 52-year history of The Billboard Hot 100. Latest collection Teenage Dream has already seen her shooting to the top with California Gurls, Firework, E.T. and the title track.
Her fifth single is currently at No4, but is gaining sales and is expected to climb again next week.
And she is already top of the digital sales charts after downloads were boosted by the star-studded video, featuring Hanson, Corey Feldman, Kenny G and Debbie Gibson, which received more than 26million hits on YouTube.
Michael, who died in June 2009, scored five hits from his eighties album with I Just Can't Stop Loving You, Bad, The Way You Make Me Feel, Man In The Mirror and Dirty Diana.

I kinda love her. idgaf. This is the first time I've genuinely wanted to see a ~pop star in concert. Plus, my sister got married, and Firework brought just about every single person to the dance floor.
