Recorded live in New York on July 22, 2009, Perry presents some of her most well-known songs in a whole new way, performing unplugged re-arrangements of her No. 1 hits "I Kissed A Girl" and "Waking Up In Vegas," along with the No. 1 video hit "Thinking Of You," and the popular tracks "Ur So Gay" and "Lost" from her debut album ONE OF THE BOYS, which has now sold five million worldwide.
The MTV: Unplugged set list is rounded out with two brand-new tracks, a cover of the Fountains of Wayne song "Hackensack," and the never before released original song "Brick By Brick." The DVD release also features exclusive interview footage.
Individual songs from the program will be debuting during MTV�s morning all-music video block AMTV on November 16th, and the full program, along with interview material, will air on Palladia, MTV Networks� high-definition music channel, on November 27th, at 9 PM and 12 AM.
In this appearance, Katy Perry joins a distinguished roster of MTV: Unplugged performers, memorably including Eric Clapton, whose 1992 program featured "Tears in Heaven" and "Layla" and won six Grammys, among them Album of the Year, Tony Bennett, who won Grammy�s Album of the Year for his 1994 appearance, Nirvana and others.
Katy Perry is only the fourth artist in history to have 4 hit singles, 3 of which went to No. 1 from a debut album. Katy�s first two single releases, the seven-week Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 "I Kissed a Girl" and the No. 1 mainstream top 40 radio hit "Hot N Cold," are RIAA-certified for triple-platinum sales. ONE OF THE BOYS also includes the #1 VH-1 Countdown ballad hit "Thinking of You."
