In addition to earning another number-one album notch on her belt, Gaga’ joins Taylor, Beyoncé, Mariah Carey, and Britney Spears, as part of an exclusive group of female artists to achieve six number-one albums. Barbra Streisand holds the lead with 11, followed by Madonna with nine, and Janet Jackson with seven.
Gaga previously reached the number-one spot with the A Star Is Born soundtrack, her 2016 album Joanne, her collaboration record with Tony Bennett Cheek to Cheek, 2013’s Artpop, and 2011’s Born This Way.
