Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

US pop artist Katy Perry continues to dominate the singles chart at Last.fm for the ninth consecutive week with her hit "Teenage Dream." Rihanna moves into second place with "Only Girl (In the World)" while Lady Gaga's "Alejandro" holds third. Also this week: Bruno Mars maintains his place in the top ten.

New in the week's top ten is Perry's track "Firework," the third single from her album Teenage Dream. According to Perry, "Firework," with 23,315 listeners this week and jumping 16 spots into number six, is influenced by Jack Kerouac's novel On the Road. The track hasn't received the international success of "Teenage Dream," and has so far reached number ten in the US Billboard singles chart and number three in the UK singles chart.

The lead single, "Just the Way You Are," from Bruno Mars' new album, Doo-Wops & Hooligans, remains in the top ten this week with 21,567 listeners. The track, released in July, has become an international hit, topping charts in the US, UK, Australia, New Zealand, and Ireland.
