Lady GaGa
American Idol on Tuesday night was rocking. There were contestants singing their favorites from iTune downloads. There was elimination….and there was Lady GaGa at the piano with her latest hit “Poker Face” that has topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It is the second week for “Poker Face” at the top. On the AI stage, she was dynamic.
The pop singer from New York has beat US rapper Flo Rida’s “Right Round” which ruled the chart for six weeks. And, before “Poker Face“, it was “Just Dance“. It was no 1 in the list in January, reigning for three weeks. With these phenomenal success of these two songs one after the other, Lady GaGa has become the first artist in almost ten years to rule the Hot 100 chart with two entries. The last performer to reign the Hot 100 list with her pair of songs ["Genie in a Bottle" (1999) and "What a Girl Wants" (2000)] was….yes you guessed it right. Christina Aguilera. The only other women to have reached the top of the list with two songs in the last 25 years were Mariah Carey in 1990 and Tiffany in 1987.
It is hard to believe that a pop singer who, sometime back, was desperately trying to get her songs played on the US radio has, today, become a brand name. More to look forward to on the GaGa front.
