So while all you bitches were being rude and cruel to our Lady Gaga, she was on her way to making history by grabbing the 1000th leading song on the Billboard's Hot 100 Chart; Breaking several other records along the way. "It is a tremendous honor," Gaga tells Billboard of the milestone. "To be the 1000th no. 1 on Billboard...I would be silly not to say this is the greatest honor of my career."
"I am so humbled and so honored and overwhelmed by the reception to 'Born This Way,' " Gaga adds. "[It] has been so life changing for me as an artist, and between Billboard and the international number ones and the radio numbers...I couldn't be more blessed to have the fans that I have."
Courtesy of Billboard.com are the other records she broke over the weekend:
On Radio Songs, the Hot 100's airplay component chart, "Born This Way" begins at No. 6 with a first-week audience of 78.5 million. That's the highest bow and largest opening airplay figure for a song since the tally began incorporating all radio formats in December 1998.
The arrival of "Born This Way" bests the previous debut record on Radio Songs, set when Janet Jackson's "All for You" soared in at No. 9 with 70 million in 2001.
With opening-week digital sales of 448,000, "Born This Way" likewise breaks barriers with the largest debut sum for a female artist. Britney Spears established the prior mark four weeks ago upon, the arrival of "Hold It Against Me" (411,000).
The opening of "Born" marks the third-largest debut among all digital tracks. Flo Rida's "Right Round" started with 636,000 in February 2009 and the Black Eyed Peas' "Boom Boom Pow" with 465,000 two months later.
Notably, "Born This Way" rewrites airplay and digital history after just five days of availability at radio and three days at online retailers.All I can say is... stop hating.
The song is also just the 19th title to debut at No. 1 in the Hot 100's history.
When I was growing up in the 80's, Michael Jackson, Madonna & Cyndi Lauper, were all despised and hated back then. In the 90's people hated Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Britney Spears & Christina Aguilera. Hell, even the King of Rock n' Roll was hated back in the 50's when the Billboard's Hot 100 was created.
They all broke records, they all defied odds and they all ignored the Press. Gaga deserves her time, just like any other artist.

THANK YOU MY LOVE! Thank you for defending Gaga from all these unappreciative and caddy queens that do nothing more than bad mouth and bitch about an artist that's trying so hard to not only help them achieve equal rights, but also one that has never shown anything but love for the gay community and all her fans probably more than any artist I have ever seen.
it was a brilliant moment when the 1000th number one song on the billboards chart contained the word transgendered
no matter what people say about lady gaga she, unlike most celebs, has a message that the world needs to hear
its one thing to say its an express yourself rip or that its a bad song but saying that lady gaga is using the LGBT community to gain sales is BS
and i agree all the legends were hated back in their times and what makes me laugh is that lady gaga will go down in history as this generations MJ, madonna, or elvis
Great comment, anonymous writer!
