"Glory" marks Lady Gaga's 10th consecutive song promoted to radio to reach the Hot 100's top 10, a streak that began with her introductory three-week No. 1 "Just Dance," featuring Colby O'Donis, from her debut album, "The Fame." The set subsequently yielded "Poker Face" (one week at No. 1), "LoveGame" (No. 5) and "Paparazzi" (No. 6).
Lady Gaga's follow-up EP, "The Fame Monster," generated "Bad Romance" (No. 2), "Telephone," featuring Beyonce (No. 3), and "Alejandro" (No. 5).
With her first 10 promoted singles having reached the Hot 100's top 10, Lady Gaga trails only Mariah Carey, by one title, for the longest such career-opening streak among women. Among all artists sporting lead credit (although including top 10s as featured acts), Lady Gaga boasts the fourth best such start:
13, Lionel Richie (1981-87)*
12, George Michael (1985-90)**
11, Mariah Carey (1990-94)
10, Lady Gaga (2008-11)+
9, New Kids on the Block (1988-90)
8, Ke$ha (2009-11)+
7, Air Supply (1980-82)
7, Taylor Dayne (1988-90)
7, Expose (1987-90)
7, Gary Lewis and the Playboys (1965-66)
7, the Lovin' Spoonful (1965-67)
7, Richard Marx (1987-89)
7, Monica (1995-99)
7, Ricky Nelson (1958-59)
