From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.With her latest number-one single "Paparazzi," Lady Gaga has become the first artist in the 17-year history of Billboard's Pop Songs chart to earn four No. 1s from a debut album, reports Billboard.com.
The singer previously topped the Pop Songs chart with "Just Dance," "Poker Face," and "LoveGame," from her debut release The Fame. On November 23, the album will be re-released in expanded form as The Fame Monster.
Since the Billboard Pop Songs chart debuted in October 1992, two artists prior to Lady Gaga have earned three number-one singles from their first albums: Ace of Base and Avril Lavigne. Alanis Morissette also scored three lead singles from her first US album, Jagged Little Pill.
Songs appearing on the Pop Songs chart are determined and ranked based on number of mainstream top-40 radio airplay detections in the United States, as measured by Nielsen BDS. Lady Gaga's "Paparazzi" took the lead for the tracking week of October 26--November 1.
