Lady Gaga Sets Latest Billboard Chart Record

Lady Gaga becomes the first artist in the 17-year history of Billboard's Pop Songs chart to notch four No. 1s from a debut album, as "Paparazzi" rises 3-1.

The singer - recently honored as Billboard's Rising Star - previously led Pop Songs with "Just Dance," "Poker Face" and "LoveGame" from her debut release, "The Fame." The set has sold 1.56 million copies to date, according to Nielsen SoundScan, The album will be re-released in expanded form as "The Fame Monster" Nov. 23.

Since the Pop Songs chart debuted in October 1992, two artists prior to Lady Gaga had plated three No. 1s from their first albums: Ace of Base and Avril Lavigne. (Alanis Morissette also enjoyed a trio of leaders from her first U.S. album, "Jagged Little Pill").

KMVQ (Movin' 99.7)/San Francisco played "Paparazzi" the most times - 131 - of all Pop Songs reporters in the current chart's tracking week (Oct. 26-Nov. 1), according to Nielsen BDS. "Lady Gaga has come on to our station like a tornado," says Movin' Program Director Michael Martin. "When you make hit records, the audience responds, and we would be foolish not to give them what they want."

It was promoted to radio as the 4th single in September.

oh. really? ok then. maybe it's because it's been played everywhere in the last year. lol.

she is terrible. im so glad that i am of a certain age,imagine growing up on this bullshit they call music now.

A chart based on airplay, is that right? Why? nobody listens anyway. Why don't they just have a chart based on the most money paid by a label to promote a song on the radio? same thing?

The redundant chart.

she aint hittin' like Madonna and Mariah did.

" LOVE YOU 4EVA GRANDMA LOLA, WATCH OVER US TILL WE MEET AGAIN. PRINCE: WH3N U L3T TH3 RAIN FALL DOWN, TH3Y ALL GONNA G3T W3T!

What kind of bullshit chart record is that, who even looks at that chart? Its a useless chart, like the others, but that one is like saying, i have had 5 straight number ones on the jazz fusion neo soul charts.

shit people get defensive around here about music they dont care about .

Go Gaga go!

that's great...she's one of the few from new generation that is interesting

She'sd better than all the other girls around (expect Alicia Keys).

I care about her. And congrats to her. I like her.

I'm about tired of the spin put on such-and-such record being broken on this-or-that obscure chart with extremely narrow criteria, etc.

I'm totally over the charts, and it sounds like everyone else is too if this is a noteworthy accomplishment.

I really, really, really, really wish people who don't like Gaga, or any other artist, stayed the fuck away from threads about them

Some people ruin it with the whole "She sucks," "She's ugly," "That's not music" bullshit. I wish they were a bit considerate and respect that some of us would actually like to talk about her music, or whatever

It was all like HARRY
