GaGa & Beyonce Tie Mimi 4 Pop Record

Lady GaGa and Beyonce have tied Mariah Carey's record for most number one songs on the Pop Songs chart.

With a 2-1 rise for "Telephone," Lady GaGa and Beyonce have made history for most chart-toppers since Nielson BDS-based radio airplay chart launched in 1992. The pair join Mariah Carey, who tallied six chart toppers between 1993 - 2005. Before "Telephone" went to number one, GaGa and Beyonce were in a six-way tie with Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears, Avril Lavigne and Pink with five number ones.

Beyonce first led Pop Songs with "Crazy in Love" in 2003, while Lady Gaga first appeared on the chart just 16 months ago. Lady GaGa, in fact, has yet to fall short of the survey's summit, reaching No. 1 on her first six tries, she has that distinct honour.

What took Beyonce eight years, Justin Timberlake nine years, Britney Spears 11 years, Avril Lavigne nine years, Pink 10 years and Mariah Carey 18 years, Lady GaGa succeeded in 16 short months. 

Here are Mariah Carey's six chart-toppers:

"Hero," Oct. 19, 1993

"Fantasy," Sept. 12, 1995 (featuring Ol' Dirty Bastard)

"One Sweet Day," Nov. 14, 1995 (featuring Boyz II Men)

"Honey," Aug. 26, 1997 

"Heartbreaker," Sept. 21, 1999 (featuring Jay-Z)

"We Belong Together," Mar. 29, 2005 

Here are Beyonce's six chart-toppers:

"Crazy in Love," Aug. 16, 2003 (featuring Jay-Z)
"Baby Boy," Nov. 8, 2003 (featuring Sean Paul)
"Check On It," Feb. 11, 2006 (featuring Slim Thug)
"Irreplaceable," Dec. 30, 2006
"Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)," Feb. 7, 2009
"Telephone," Mar. 27, 2010, (Lady Gaga featuring Beyonce)

Here are Lady GaGa's six chart-toppers:

"Just Dance," Jan. 24, 2009 (featuring Colby O'Donis)
"Poker Face," Apr. 25, 2009
"LoveGame," Jul. 25, 2009
"Paparazzi," Nov. 14, 2009                               
"Bad Romance," Jan. 16, 2010
"Telephone," Mar. 27, 2010 (featuring Beyonce)

Beyonce and Lady GaGa both have a chance to break the tie and become the first artist with seven number ones. Beyonce is featured on Alicia Key's single, "Put It In A Love Song" and Lady GaGa's next single will be the infectious, "Alejandro." 

I have a feeling GaGa will hit number one with "Alejandro" because it's not only a great track but it is perfect for the summer of 2010.
