Since her television debut on So You Think You Can Dance on June 30, Christina Perri has rocketed into fame with just one single and a live EP -- released a mere two weeks ago -- under her belt.

In an article posted on November 29th on Billboard's website, Perri and the magazine discuss her upbringing and the overnight success her appearance on the So You Think You Can Dance brought to her career.

Relatively unknown to anyone but her YouTube followers, Perri's single "Jar Of Hearts" broke the top 100 after she performed the song live on the June 30th episode of So You Think You Can Dance. It was an opportunity provided to her from being in the right place at the right time and having just the right connections.

Since then, her single has been downloaded more than 400,000 times. According to the article, "The song spent four weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 in July and August, peaking at No. 34 the week of July 31; it dropped off before returning the week of Nov. 13 at No. 96, rising 20 spots to No. 76 the next week and then to No. 75 the week after that.

"'Jar of Hearts' also hit No. 13 on the Hot Digital Songs chart and crowned the Heatseekers Songs tally the week of July 24. It has been building at adult top 40 radio since September and is No. 18 this week on the format chart."
