'Born This Way'
American singer-songwriter Lady Gaga has achieved fifteen number-one songs, and ranked 16th among the top 100 Dance Club Songs artists in this category.
Its first two singles, "Just Dance" and "Poker Face", reached number one in Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States, and for the latter, becoming the world's biggest single of the 2009 calendar year.
1 tracks, including her first-ever chart topper, 2008's “Just Dance.” Since then, 2008's “Poker Face;” 2011's “Born This Way;” her 2018 A Star Is Born collaboration with Bradley Cooper, “Shallow;” and her 2020 Ariana Grande team-up “Rain on Me” have all topped the Hot 100.
Her first single, “Just Dance,” became popular in clubs throughout the United States and Europe and eventually landed at number one on the Billboard Pop Songs chart (also called the radio chart).
In the early 2010's Lady Gaga was the biggest star in pop music, her creativity was unmatched. Then through a combination of things including over-exposure and a lackluster album in Artpop her popularity waned.
While Gaga is credited as one of the most innovative artists in the business, she's also responsible for a revolutionary invention in the world of perfume. When she was creating her first fragrance, Fame, she told executives at Coty that she wanted the liquid to be black in the bottle and clear when it sprayed.
The Beatles have the most No. 1 hits of all time: 20. Though unclear for how long, the Beatles still reign supreme as the artist with the most No. 1 songs of all time.
Whitney Houston – I Will Always Love You (10 weeks)
The youngest person ever to top the US charts is Stevie Wonder, who was 13 when he hit Number One with 'Fingertips Pt 2' in 1963.
When the track reached No. 1, Stevie became the youngest solo artist to have topped the Billboard Hot 100 – though another future Motown superstar, Michael Jackson, was aged just 11 years 155 days when The Jackson Five's “I Want You Back” topped the Billboard charts in January 1970.
Queen - Radio Ga Ga
It peaked at Number 2 in the UK, held off the top by Frankie Goes To Hollywood's Relax, and years later inspired a cover by rockers Electric Six (that version peaked at 21) as well as the name of little-known artist Lady Gaga.
Lady Gaga has returned to the pinnacle of pop music. Gaga was the biggest pop star in the world this past month, according to Bloomberg's Pop Star Power Rankings, dethroning Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny after a three-month run.
Mariah Carey (USA) has topped the US Billboard Hot 100 singles chart on 19 different occasions.
Michael Jackson's Thriller, estimated to have sold 70 million copies worldwide, is the best-selling album ever. Jackson also currently has the highest number of albums on the list with five, Celine Dion has four, while the Beatles, Pink Floyd, Madonna and Whitney Houston each have three.
Sir Mix-A-Lot
One of the most successful one-hit wonders of all time, it peaked at No. 1 on July 4, 1992, and spent a total of 28 weeks on the chart. The song achieved multiplatinum status in July 1992, when sales reached 2 million. It was re-released in 2002, and digital sales totaled 500,000 by May 2005.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, British rock band The Beatles are top of the list for best-selling artists worldwide, with 183 million units certified sales. Second is Garth Brooks with over 157 million units sales, followed by Elvis Presley with 139 million units.
Taylor Swift has once again made music history by claiming every single top 10 spot on Billboard's Hot 100 chart at once. No other artist has ever held all 10 spots at the same time, according to Billboard.

According to Lady Gaga herself via an interview with Flybe in 2010, her stage name came about when her music producer, Robert Fusari, told her that she reminded him of the famous Queen song "Radio Ga Ga." From then on, Stefani Germanotta (which is her real name) took on the moniker proudly.
Germanotta took the name "Lady Gaga" from the song "Radio Ga Ga" by the rock group Queen; she released her first album The Fame in 2008.
