One of the best-selling musicians in America is Christina Perri. She began studying music at a young age and is well known for being a self-taught musician. At the age of 21, she moved away from her hometown in order to pursue a career in music. Her debut song, “Jar of Hearts,” became viral after it was included in the “So You Think You Can Dance” competition. Within a month, the song sold 100,000 copies, giving Perri the perfect start to her musical career. She was signed by “Atlantic Records” after the success of “Jar of Hearts,” which formally launched her musical career. 2011 saw the release of her self-titled debut album, which was an enormous hit.
Eventually, the Recording Industry Association of America recognized it as “Platinum” (RIAA). She subsequently started a successful streak, putting out consecutively popular albums and Eps. The love theme that Perri wrote for the final chapter of “The Twilight Saga” has been certified “Four times Platinum” by the RIAA and has sold more than four million copies in the U.S. alone.
While continuing to work at the restaurant, she wrote her song “Jar of Hearts.” Fortunately, one of the episodes of the renowned American talent competition show “So You Think You Can Dance” featured her music. After being heard by many people, “Jar of Hearts” quickly gained popularity among music fans. Due to popular demand, the song was posted online and quickly became viral. Within two weeks of its debut, “Jar of Hearts” reached 100,000 downloads. The song even reached the top 50 on Billboard, making Perri instantly well-known among Los Angeles’ music fans. She was soon the target of record labels, and ‘Atlantic Records’ eventually signed her.
Her first extended play, titled “The Ocean Way Sessions,” was published in 2010. Both the crowd and the critics gave the extended play favorable reviews, and it even made the U.S. Billboard 200 list. Additionally, it came in first place on the “U.S. Top Heatseekers” chart, bringing Perri national attention. She attracted a sizable fan base. As soon as her debut album, “Lovestrong,” was released, it immediately rose to the fourth spot on the “Billboard 200” chart. ‘Lovestrong’ was one of the best-selling albums of the year in the U.S. and the U.K., and Perri went on tour to support it.
Perri started working on her gigs and promotions. She said she was working on her third album on her Instagram page in May 2016. Perri has also appeared at other performers’ gigs, including those of Ed Sheeran and Billy Joel.
