Watch the video for Bad Romance before we count down the rest of 2009’s retro Top 5.įormer BRIT School students Shingai Soniwa and Dan Smith had waited a long time for their mainstream success. Time to team up again, ladies? We hope so! Her most recent chart-topping single was the mother of all collaborations: 2010’s Telephone FT Beyoncé.įunnily enough, Bey hasn’t had a Number 1 single since then, either. All three of Gaga’s studio albums – The Fame (2009), Born This Way (2011) and ARTPOP (2013) have hit Number 1 on the Official Albums Chart, and the star promises a part two to ARTPOP is on its way this year. Since Poker Face, Lady Gaga has racked up a further nine Top 10 hits, the most recent being Do What U Want FT R Kelly, which reached Number 9. ( Bad Romance was her second, in 2013.) Poker Face’s current sales tally stands at an impressive 1.1 million copies. It was her first song to cross the million mark, which it did in September 2010. Poker Face was the first of four Number 1s for Lady Gaga, and one of three she’d achieve in 2009 alone. This week in 2009, Poker Face was spending its third and final week at the top – Calvin Harris’s I’m Not Alone was about to pull the plug on Gaga’s chart-topping party.
