Impressive. She has a long way to go still, which is the most exciting thing. I think we forget how successful all these other artists are. 

[MJHolland 12,723]

Gaga has only had 3 singles go #1? I feel like that can't be right... Bad Romance isn't even on there?

[Sakrai 4,759]

Queen of charts

[Lumi 3,512]

Gaga has only had 3 singles go #1? I feel like that can't be right... Bad Romance isn't even on there?

​Bad Romance peaked at #2 because Tik Tok was released at the same time. BR was called the best #2 on history by Billboard

[Miley Ray Cyrus 26]

Queen of charts

​

[Pitch 204]

Gagas timing on releasing singles is so bad  BR and Applause had good enough numbers to go #1 during a normal week but they had to be released when mega hits were slaying the charts

[AbuHassan1992 766]

this just goes to show that number 1's don't matter. so many great songs and artists score low or are not even on here

[isaacanthony 142]

this just goes to show that number 1's don't matter. so many great songs and artists score low or are not even on here

I don't understand why people are so concerned with the charts. JUST ENJOY THE DAMN MUSIC 

[xoxo cupcakke 4,781]

Yes. You are Mariah. The Successful Chanteuse 1989™—2008. Slay

This. 

The stars seem to never align for Gaga, chartwise.

[Mills 446]

"Funk!," released on RCA Records, becomes just the 15th No. 1 in the Hot 100's five-and-a-half-decade history to rule for at least 12 weeks. It also ties for the longest reign of the 2010s: Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines," featuring T.I.and Pharrell, also logged a 12-week command beginning in June 2013.

Here are the singles which spent the most weeks at #1 in the 2010s:

Rank / Title (Peak Year) / Artist / weeks at #1
1. Blurred Lines (2013) - Robin Thicke feat. Pharrell Williams, T.I. - 12 weeks
1. Uptown Funk! (2015) - Mark Ronson feat. Bruno Mars - 12 weeks
2. We Found Love (2011) - Rihanna feat. Calvin Harris - 10 weeks
2. Happy (2014) - Pharrell Williams - 10 weeks
3. Tik Tok (2010) - Kesha - 9 weeks
3. Call Me Maybe (2012) - Carly Rae Jepsen - 9 weeks
3. One More Night (2012) - Maroon 5 - 9 weeks
3. Royals (2013) - Lorde - 9 weeks

- Another week at #1, Bruno Mars also moves up (again) among the overall top artists (including all stints as solo and as part of groups) with the most weeks spent at #1 on the Top/Hot 100 since 1955, making him only the 24th artist in history to collect at least 29 weeks at the top of Billboard's flagship singles popularity chart.
