She’s still pushing tunes from her latest album Mayhem , which is performing well on the Billboard charts two months after its release. All the attention surrounding her discography has kept Mayhem and its tracks afloat, but even more notably, it has jumpstarted interest in some of her earliest singles as well. Fans around the world have flocked to streaming platforms to revisit Gaga’s earliest dance-pop cuts. A select few have not only become global hits but continued to rise week after week. Lady Gaga’s Early Singles Hit New Peaks In recent frames, some of Gaga’s earliest singles have debuted on Billboard’s global rankings, the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. In just its second turn on both tallies, “Judas,” a Born This Way single, climbs to never-before-seen peaks. Last frame, the cut opened at No. 147 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. – now, it’s up to No. 140. It experiences a similar lift on the Billboard Global 200, moving from No. 195 to No. 189. One week before “Judas” arrived, “Bad Romance,” one of Gaga’s most familiar tunes, finally became a hit on both worldwide tallies. After reaching an all-time peak of No. 168 on the Billboard Global 200, it slips slightly to No. 175. The Grammy-winning track manages to ascend by just one spot on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S., which omits American sales and streaming data, lifting to No. 148 and establishing a new peak in its third frame on the list. “Just Dance” and More Reach the Global Charts As “Bad Romance” and “Judas” dance higher than ever, Gaga even manages to collect another hit on the two tallies. “Just Dance,” her debut single, opens at No. 191 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. and No. 200 — the lowest position possible — on the Billboard Global 200. Several other Gaga cuts, such as “Die With a Smile,” her collaboration with Bruno Mars “Abracadabra” and “Poker Face,” can also be found on both rosters, which Billboard publishes each weekend to reflect what the entire world is listening to.
