What did we all talk about before Lady Gaga came along? If the shenanigans of the former Stefani Germanotta seem to own an unhealthy amount of the pop culture conversation these days, it’s because her output has earned it: Since “Just Dance” hit No. 1 nearly two years ago, she’s had six additional top 10 hits and has almost single-handedly revived the waning art of mainstream music videos. What’s more, she has thrived on the road at a time when many established artists’ tours have been downgraded or canceled altogether. NEXT- Her new album, Born This Way (2011)
