I was just thinking, Gaga could have easily had a good 4-5 more #1's if the following songs were managed better or if things played out just a but differently. Paparazzi could have been #1 had its sales peak (#3) and its radio peak (#1) aligned.
Telephone could have been #1 if she performed it somewhere the same week the video was released, to boost sales just enough for that #1.
The Edge of Glory could have debuted at #1 if Judas hadn't been released, since it arguably put a damper on the hype of the era.
Applause could have had just the sligtest chance at #1 if they kept the release date as August 19, so she could reap the benefits of the debut week sales plus the debut week streams of the video.
(Damn those leaks that ruined this.) And I'm not even going to mention Bad Romance.
I mean I'm thrilled these were all hits but imagine Gaga with
eight #1's.
