Making a fitting grand entrance at No. 1, Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" became the Billboard Hot 100's landmark 1,000th No. 1. The song arrived as the title cut to her second full-length studio album, which she had touted ahead of its release as the "greatest album of this decade." 

See Billboard article here.

It is also the 19th song to debut at no. 1 and it spent six weeks at the top. 
Good ol' days!
