Priyanka Chopra and Katy Perry leave their digital imprint
Both the People's Choice Award winners and international pop divas create waves within the online world

Platinum-selling singer and songwriter, Katy Perry, is understood to be amongst essentially the most successful international pop sensations on this planet. In 2010, her album Teenage Dream spawned five number-one hits at the Billboard Hot 100 becoming the primary album in history recorded by a feminine artist to reach this.

Katy may be a nine-time People's Choice Awards winner in exactly the last four years - most recently taking home the award for Favourite Female Artist. She is the second one most 'followed' and 'liked' celebrity from America, behind only to Lady Gaga on social media. In 2011, Katy Perry fans voted her to win Favorite Internet Sensation.

Speaking on her award, Katy said, `I just need to say thanks to all of the fans of course, because that is an awards show that may be voted by people... not only a computer, so thanks people so much, I LIKE you and I'll see you on tour!`

Nearer home, Bollywood's desi-girl Priyanka Chopra also remains connected to her fans worldwide throughout the online medium. She is probably the most 'followed' and 'liked' female celebrity from India. In 2008, Priyanka's role in Fashion earned her the National Film Award for Best Actress.

More recently, her leading roles in Don 2, Agneepath, and Barfi! have brought critical and commercial success. Last year, Priyanka signed a recording agreement to release her first international music album.

Priyanka received the People's Choice Award for Favourite International Music Debut which was guest presented by Viacom18 Group CEO, Sudhanshu Vats. She collected the award for her debut single In My City, featuring will.i.am, which went directly to hit triple platinum in India.

Speaking on the PCA's, Priyanka said, `This is very out of the ordinary because I HAVE NOT won an award like this before. For me it is a very big deal, and since this was my dad's dream, thanks to the entire people who voted for me and who think that I deserved this award.`

`We are thrilled to have Priyanka on board to introduce the PCA in India and perform on the event,` said executive producer Akash Sharma. `With her experience, mainstream appeal and standing as some of the top female artists of our time, PCA has the chance to push the limits of Indian pop culture to the world.`

The People's Choice Awards was licensed in India by Bulldog Media & Entertainment from Mark Burnett's One Three Media. Bulldog also co-produces the show in India in conjunction with Colors and handles the PCA site, voting and at the social media exclusively. Bulldog has cleared the telecast for PCA India in additional than 50 countries around the globe and can distribute the valuables in further territories
