Perry is Billboard star of 2012

Katy Perry has been named Billboard's Woman of the Year.

The 27-year-old songstress was given the prestigious honour to celebrate the success of her second album Teenage Dream, her California Dream world tour, concert documentary film Katy Perry: Part Of Me 3D and chart dominance with hits like Wide Awake, Firework and California Gurls.

She will receive her prize at the Women In Music event in New York on November 30.

"Katy Perry broke into the industry not even five years ago, and has already accomplished more than most artists can hope for in an entire career," Bill Werde, Billboard's editorial director, said.

"We are thrilled to celebrate these incredible achievements and her amazing past 12 months by honouring her with the Billboard Woman of the Year Award. With what seems like a never-ending supply of record-breaking, chart-topping hits, coupled with her unique and fresh style, Katy Perry is hands-down one of the most exciting and inspiring artists in the industry today."

Previous recipients of the award include Taylor Swift, Black Eyed Peas' Fergie and Beyonce.

Katy is also up for four nominations in the MTV European Music Awards.
