In March this year, she became the first music artist to top 1bn video views online. When her latest video, Alejandro, was released last month, it temporarily crashed her website before going on to clock up over 36m views.
Now Lady Gaga has become the first living person to have 10 million fans on Facebook, surpassing such heavyweight adversaries as Barack Obama and the actor Vin Diesel.
The 24-year-old Poker Face singer made the breakthrough on Friday, before using the social networking site to thank her fans. "I love you guys so much," she said in a video posted to her page. "Thank you so much for all of your love and your support, and for sticking by me."
Apparently not satisfied with the mere 10 million fans, she added: "Become my friend on Facebook ‑ I'll never forget you."
Gaga may be disappointed to learn that she does not make the top five most popular Facebook pages, according to Famecount, which ranks social media accounts by their popularity. The person with the most fans is Michael Jackson, and his page is second to that of Texas hold'em poker, which boasts more than 20 million supporters .
Lady Gaga is sixth, behind the television show Family Guy, the game Mafia Wars, and Facebook itself. Vin Diesel, famed for his role in The Fast and The Furious film series, has the seventh most popular page, with about 9.9 million fans, and Obama is one place behind with 9.6 million.
Gaga can take some consolation in the fact that she tops Famecount's "all platform" list, which compiles Facebook fans, Twitter followers and YouTube subscribers.
