Despite being uncredited in the United States, the song went number one in the country for six consecutive weeks, broke the record for most first-week sales with 636,000 downloads, and became one of the bestselling songs of the digital era. Kesha's debut studio album, ''Animal'', followed in January 2010 and topped the American, Canadian, and Greek charts. The record's lead single and Kesha's debut solo single, "Tik Tok" (2009), reached number one in fourteen countries and spent nine consecutive weeks atop the ''Billboard'' Hot 100, becoming the longest running number one single of 2010.The song has brought total sales of 18 million copies worldwide as of 2019, therefore making it one of the best-selling digital singles of all time. Other singles from ''Animal'', "Blah Blah Blah" (2010), "Your Love Is My Drug" (2010), and "Take It Off" (2010), experienced similar success, as did Kesha's features on 3OH!3's "My First Kiss" (2010) and Taio Cruz's "Dirty Picture" (2010). Kesha topped eight subcharts on ''Billboard'' 2010 Year-End Chart, including the Top New Artist, Hot 100 Songs and Hot 100 Artists subcharts, and was named ''Billboard'' artist of the year. The commercial and critical success of the singer's first album led to the release of the extended play ''Cannibal'' in November 2010, which went Platinum in the US. Its lead single, "We R Who We R" (2010), reached the top ten in ten countries, including a number one debut in the US. "Blow" (2011) also managed to peak within the top ten of multiple countries. In March 2011, a remix album named ''I Am the Dance Commander + I Command You to Dance: The Remix Album'' was released and topped the Billboard Dance/Electronic Albums chart. The following month, after writing all of the lyrics of American singer Britney Spears' global smash "Till the World Ends", Kesha was featured on a remix of the track alongside American rapper Nicki Minaj titled "the Femme Fatale remix". The remix propelled the single to the top five on the Canadian Hot 100 and the ''Billboard'' Hot 100.Kesha's second studio album, ''Warrior'', was made available for purchase in December 2012.It debuted at number six on the ''Billboard'' 200 chart. "Die Young" (2012) was selected as the record's lead single and peaked at number two in the United States, while charting in the top ten of eleven other countries. Followup singles "C'Mon" (2013) and "Crazy Kids" (2013) were released to moderate success. In October 2013, the singer was featured on Pitbull's single "Timber", which topped the charts in sixteen countries, including the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States.
