And you thought her entrance at the Grammy Awards was attention-getting.

By storming the Billboard Hot 100 song chart at No. 1, Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" makes history as the 1,000th leading song in the list's 52-year history.

The Billboard Hot 100 No. 1s, from 1 to 1,000

"It is a tremendous honor," Gaga tells Billboard of the milestone. "To be the 1000th no. 1 on Billboard...I would be silly not to say this is the greatest honor of my career."

"I am so humbled and so honored and overwhelmed by the reception to 'Born This Way,' " Gaga adds. "[it] has been so life changing for me as an artist, and between Billboard and the international number ones and the radio numbers...I couldn't be more blessed to have the fans that I have."

Fittingly for such a milestone, the first single and title track from Lady Gaga's third album, due May 23, arrives in record-breaking fashion.

On Radio Songs, the Hot 100's airplay component chart, "Born This Way" begins at No. 6 with a first-week audience of 78.5 million. That's the highest bow and largest opening airplay figure for a song since the tally began incorporating all radio formats in December 1998.

The arrival of "Born This Way" bests the previous debut record on Radio Songs, set when Janet Jackson's "All for You" soared in at No. 9 with 70 million in 2001.

With opening-week digital sales of 448,000, "Born This Way" likewise breaks barriers with the largest debut sum for a female artist. Britney Spears established the prior mark four weeks ago upon, the arrival of "Hold It Against Me" (411,000).

The opening of "Born" marks the third-largest debut among all digital tracks. Flo Rida's "Right Round" started with 636,000 in February 2009 and the Black Eyed Peas' "Boom Boom Pow" with 465,000 two months later.

Notably, "Born This Way" rewrites airplay and digital history after just five days of availability at radio and three days at online retailers.

The song is also just the 19th title to debut at No. 1 in the Hot 100's history.

I thought about this when I read about Gaga's numbers, I remember they threw AFY into every format and adds were fast when it dropped, its all good she still has a long way to go to get to 10 number ones, and selling over 50 million albums aint never gonna happen for her, oh and Janet has been in the biz over 20 years and has dropped 8 albums ....in other words Janet is not pressed

:mellow:

Seeing how Janet was 20 years into her career then and Gaga is now 6 years into hers. I don't think that's anything to rave about.

Who's raving? You're all just trying to discredit Miss Gaga any way you can. I find it delicious :lmao:

They're just stating the obvious.

It's much easier for artists to get #1's today than it was 10 years ago.

The record she broke was airplay and radio adds, right?

records she breaks aren't that important to me, I just delight in the misery of her detractors ^_^
