Gaga fans, we’re winning again! More than 15 years after its release, Lady Gaga’s debut album The Fame has officially landed on a Billboard chart for the very first time — and the Little Monsters are celebrating!
Gaga has been dominating the industry for nearly two decades, and while she’s currently promoting her latest era Mayhem (and collecting Grammy nominations along the way), fans are still streaming The Fame in huge numbers. This week, the album debuts at No. 46 on Billboard’s Top Streaming Albums chart — giving Gaga her second-ever entry on that ranking.
Her first? Mayhem, which continues to thrive and rises this week from No. 43 to No. 37, marking its 33rd week on the chart.
But The Fame isn’t stopping there:
- On the Top Dance Albums chart, it climbs to No. 3.
- On the Billboard 200, it jumps from No. 68 to No. 54, more than a decade after it peaked at No. 2.
And the album’s iconic singles are also getting love:
- “Just Dance” re-enters the Billboard Global 200 at No. 192 and holds strong on the Dance Streaming Songs chart.
- “Poker Face” rises on both the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts as well.
Meanwhile, Gaga’s Mayhem era is holding its own across the board:
- Mayhem sits at No. 42 on the Billboard 200
- It stays competitive on the Top Dance Albums chart, sitting just ahead of The Fame
- And the singles? She has five on various Billboard tallies this week — three from Mayhem, two from The Fame
Fan favorite “The Dead Dance” is also rising thanks to Halloween hype and Gaga’s role in Wednesday. The track hits new peaks on Pop Airplay (No. 11) and Radio Songs (No. 27), along with jumps on several other charts.
Oh, and one more fun victory: Born This Way re-enters the Top Dance Albums chart’s Top 10, climbing to No. 8 — meaning Gaga now holds three spots in the Top 10 of that chart (Born This Way, The Fame, and Mayhem).
