It marks Perry's tenth single to reach the summit and matches Rihanna's record of 10 number ones on the list, reports Billboard.

Both stars have now amassed the most chart-toppers on the list during its 21-year-long history.

Having reached the summit within six weeks of being released, Perry's 'Roar' is the fastest single to hit number one on the chart ever.

Pink trails Rihanna and Perry with nine Pop Songs radio airplay chart-toppers, while Lady Gaga has seven.

Beyoncé, Mariah Carey, Maroon 5, Bruno Mars, Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake are all tied with six number ones on the list each.

Meanwhile, Perry's new promotional cut 'Dark Horse' - which has been lifted from forthcoming album Prism - has climbed to number five on iTunes in the US.
