Pop star Kate Perry has been named Billboard’s Woman of the Year after a whirlwind 12 months in which she split up with her husband and turned their break-up into a hit single and film.<\/h2>\n

The 27-year-old used her split with British comedian Russell Brand in late 2011 to write chart-topping hit Part Of Me and a 3D behind-the-scenes film entitled Katy Perry: Part Of Me that documented her personal and professional ups and downs.<\/p>\n

The singer has won over a legion of fans known as “katycats” on Twitter and Facebook with her quirky costumes and catchy bubble gum pop songs.<\/p>\n

She has sold 48 million tracks in the US alone according to Billboard, including the hits Firework, California Gurls, ET and Hot N Cold.<\/p>\n

Perry has also become a branding machine, lending her name to her own perfume, nail polish and false eyelash lines.<\/p>\n

Billboard’s editorial director Bill Werde said in a statement that Perry was chosen for her achievements in the past 12 months, calling her “one of the most exciting and inspiring artists in the industry”.<\/p>\n

“Katy Perry broke into the industry not even five years ago, and has already accomplished more than most artists can hope for in an entire career,” he added.<\/p>\n

The Billboard Woman of the Year award selects a female artist with trailblazing achievements.<\/p>\n

Previous winners include Taylor Swift, Beyonce and Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie.<\/p>\n

Katy Perry will receive the award at the 2012 Billboard Women in Music event in New York on November 30.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
