Lady Gaga, Michael Jackson, and Janet Jackson are now officially in the same league! The Poker Face songstress becomes the third artist to have several number 1 hits in thirty years on the Billboard Hot 100, propelling her to the ranks of the Jackson duo.

The news has since broken out on X, and fans are going GA-GA (it was right there; it had to be done). Check out some of the most hilarious reactions we've come across, starting off strong with this one:

"certified icon yopppp."

The chatter didn't end there:

"everyone say thank you to ariana grande and bruno mars for gaga's only #1's this decade!" one user jokingly stated.
"wait gaga ate??" another humorously declared.
"Thank you ariana and bruno hahaha," someone else echoed.

Even more chimed in to quip:

"Pop charts bow to their queen: Gaga forever," one user demanded.

Another user made this AI-generated meme of Lady Gaga, Bruno Mars, and Ariana Grande, alluding to the fact that some of her top hits were all features:

While some users were thrilled for the singer, others could not help but opine that she might have had a little help from Grande and Bruno in nabbing the title.


Everything you need to know about Lady Gaga's latest achievement

Lady Gaga's performance in Joker 2 may have left us all with a Poker Face, but her latest feat reminds us all of just why she deserves all the Applause (okay, we'll stop now).

Her latest collaboration with Bruno Mars, Die With A Smile, dominated the Billboard Hot 100 chart this week, despite having initially debuted at #3. It took about 20 weeks for the track to scale its way to the No. 1 position, officially defining Lady Gaga as the third person to ever hold the dominating spot on the chart in three different decades.

Her first single, Just Dance, from 2008, was a hit, and her second number-one single in 2009 was the incredibly famous—some would even say defining—Poker Face. Her song Shallow from the film A Star Is Born also reached heights of success in 2019, while the following year, she released Rain On Me, featuring Ariana Grande.


As for Janet Jackson, she had several hit songs reach the topmost position of the Billboard Hundred through the years of the 2000s, the 1990s, and the 1980s, while her brother, the late Michael Jackson, reigned all through the ‘90s, ‘80s, and ’70s.
