Lady Gaga does it again! The 'Perfect Illusions' has added yet another accomplishment to her name as she earns her fourth No.1 Album with her fifth solo LP Joanne.
The Mother Monster's album which was released through Streamline/Interscope Records last Oct. 21 claimed the top spot on the Billboard 200 albums chart garnering a 201,000 equivalent album units according to Nielsen Music.
In a report by Billboard, Gaga's album was forecasted by the music industry to earn 180,000 units but the American singer did not settle for less but instead surpassed everyone's expectations.
In the previous years, Lady Gaga has also claimed the same award with her 2011's Born This Way, 2013's Artpop, and 2014's Cheek to Cheek in collaboration with Tony Bennett. According to Rolling Stone, this year's success has made her the only female artist to have four albums all in the No.1 spot while Beyonce and Taylor Swift follow through with three chart-topping albums. Drake and Justin Bieber is still on the lead each with six Billboard 200 No.1 albums since 2010.
Joanne has also made Lady Gaga earn the title for the second biggest for the female category and the fourth largest debut for the year following Drake's Views (1.04 million), Beyonce's Lemonade (653,000) and Frank Ocean's Blonde (276,000 units).
Her success was made possible with the support of her fans and of her hard work as she traveled around the U.S. to promote the release of her new album. Her performance on Saturday Night Live, carpool karaoke session with James Corden in 'The Late, Late Show', and Dive Bar Tour sets in New York and Los Angeles did a great impact to her album's huge hits.
