Lady Gaga is hinting at her next album, though for the moment, she’s remaining quiet on when the set may arrive. As fans wait to hear from the pop singer and enjoy the occasional teases, the project that made her a household name is still going strong in America.
The Fame is back at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Dance/Electronic Albums chart this week. Gaga’s debut full-length earns another stay on the ranking of the most-consumed albums classified by Billboard as either dance or electronic in sound–with many of the featured titles combining the two.
Gaga’s first full-length has now spent 523 weeks on the Top Dance/Electronic Albums chart. That’s just over a decade. It’s a major milestone for any studio effort to manage 10 years on any list published by Billboard, especially the debut collection from a newcomer.
Throughout its time on the Top Dance/Electronic Albums tally, The Fame has ruled for many, many frames. The title has now spent 184 weeks at No. 1 on the chart, including this latest period. It’s been running the show lately, as it hasn’t faced much competition–or at least none that has dominated for very long.
The Fame is the title with the most weeks on the Top Dance/Electronic Albums chart at the moment. Currently, it’s the only project that’s claimed at least 500 frames on the list. David Guetta’s Nothing But The Beat comes in a fairly distant second place, with 479 weeks spent on the tally.
Impressively, The Fame isn’t even Gaga’s only title that can be found on this week’s Top Dance/Electronic Albums chart. Her sophomore full-length Born This Way appears down at No. 8, dipping slightly after landing at No. 7 last time around. That set has lived on the ranking for 388 weeks.
The Fame is one of Gaga’s seven No. 1s on the Top Dance/Electronic Albums chart. She’s reached the summit with every title she’s pushed to the tally…except one. Only Born This Way: The Remix failed to make it to the peak spot. That project stalled at No. 3 in 2011.
