Lady Gaga dominates Billboard’s global charts with both new and classic hits, as “Poker Face,” … More
Ever since Lady Gaga headlined Coachella and made history with the most-attended concert by a female performer in human history, her back catalog has been soaring. Several of the pop singer’s classics — the tunes that turned her into the superstar she is today, one capable of both headlining Coachella and performing for millions at one time — have returned to prominence globally, as people all around the planet continue to stream her older cuts.
This week, several of those beloved songs continue climbing Billboard’s worldwide lists, hitting new peaks and returning to the ears of what must be a massive audience.
Lady Gaga is All Over Billboard’s Global Charts
At the moment, Gaga fills five spaces on both the Billboard Global 200 and the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. The first tally ranks the most consumed songs worldwide, blending both sales and streaming data, while the latter operates in a similar fashion, but excludes all listening from the U.S. Three of those five tracks that appear on both rankings reach new high points this frame.
“Poker Face” and “Judas” Soar to New Peaks
“Poker Face” is Gaga’s highest-rising tune this week that hits a new peak. It bolts into the top 40 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S., jumping from No. 67 to No. 28. It nearly enters that same tier on the Billboard Global 200 as well, leaping from No. 85 to No. 45. Those now stand as the loftiest spots “Poker Face” has ever reached.
Gaga almost sees a pair of tunes shoot into the top 40 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S., as “Judas” soars from No. 140 to No. 42 — an almost 100-space jump in one frame. That same Born This Way single also rockets up the Billboard Global 200, climbing from No. 189 to No. 73.
“Bad Romance” and “Just Dance” Also Climb
In just its fourth frame ever, “Bad Romance” rocks to never-before-seen peaks on both tallies. It settles at Nos. 81 and 55 on the Billboard Global 200 and the Billboard Global Excl. U.S., respectively, jumping dozens of spaces in only a few days.
Gaga also reaches another peak on the Billboard Global 200 with “Just Dance,” her introductory smash. That track debuted at No. 200 in last place just one week ago, and in its second frame on the list, it ascends to No. 130. It doesn’t manage to appear on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S., though.
Lady Gaga Scores Even More Worldwide Wins
At the same time, “Shallow,” her Oscar-winning collaboration with Bradley Cooper, reappears on the Billboard Global 200 at No. 156. It also can’t be found on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S., like “Just Dance” – though it’s not up to a new high this time around.
Singles taken from Mayhem, her most recent full-length, also appear on both worldwide tallies, but they don’t hit new peaks. “Abracadabra” returns to the top 10, settling at No. 7 on both rankings. “Die With a Smile” remains in charge of the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. and holds the runner-up spot on the Billboard Global 200.
