"The Fame" celebrates its 100th non-consecutive week at No. 1 on Dance/Electronic Albums. With the chart having launched June 30, 2001, "The Fame" has reigned for 20% of the list's 509-week history. The set first reached summit the week of Nov. 15, 2008.
Gnarls Barkley's "St. Elsewhere" ranks second with 39 weeks atop the chart in 2006-07.
On the Billboard Hot 100, Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" spends a fifth week - its entire chart life - at No. 1. The song is the first to debut at the apex and remain in charge for at least five frames since Elton John's "Candle in the Wind"/"Something About the Way You Look Tonight" spent its first 14 weeks at No. 1 in 1997-98.
Oh thanks. So it's a given she will break the record next week?
If she doesn't fall out of the Top 40. She fell like 10 spots last week to #30. Then again there were about 10 new releases that charted right above her...and some will plummet. She'll probably get it.
