official chart Gaga's Top 40 Biggest Songs In The UK: Shallow #1 2.6M units

[Hector]

Now, let's dive in to the Top 10 in more detail - and then scroll down for the Top 40 in full.

10. The Edge of Glory
Released: 2011
Official Singles Chart peak: Number 6
Total chart units: 918,000
Total streams: 34 million

Gaga's ode to embracing death was written in memory of her grandfather, and finds her ruminating on her final moments on Earth backed by legendary saxophonist Clarence Clemons. 

9. Paparazzi
Released: 2009
Official Singles Chart peak: Number 4
Total chart units: 942,000
Total streams: 39 million

Much of The Fame is spent manifesting the kind of all-consuming celebrity that Gaga would embrace with open arms after the album's release. Nowhere is this more potent that Paparazzi, where Gaga quite literally begs the camera's for their full attention. For better or worse, they would listen.

8. Always Remember Us This Way
Released: 2018
Official Singles Chart peak: Number 25
Total chart units: 982,000
Total streams: 118 million

One of the tightest songs on A Star Is Born, both lyrically and melodically, Always Remember Us This Way has always been somewhat overshadowed by Shallow, but it's popularity on the Official Charts speaks for itself. Despite just reaching Number 25 here, Always Remember Us This Way is actually Gaga's third most-streamed track here, with 118 million streams to its name.

7. Born This Way
Released: 2011
Official Singles Chart peak: Number 3
Total chart units: 1.2 million
Total streams: 52 million

Don't be a drag, just be a queen. Born This Way is as bombastic and overly ambitious as the album that shares its name; it wants you to abandon hatred and help heal the world. 

6. Telephone (feat. Beyoncé)
Released: 2009
Official Singles Chart peak: Number 1
Total chart units: 1.2 million
Total streams: 58 million

The combination of Lady Gaga and Beyoncé didn't seem to make sense on paper, but in practice you can see exactly why they collaborated. Gaga - at the height of her fame at this point - helps Beyoncé embrace a fiercer, weirder persona than she'd been allowed to showcase previous, and the very presence of Queen Bey pushes Gaga to greater performance heights, especially on the barmy, Kill Bill inspired music video (still waiting on that sequel, girls).

5. Rain On Me (with Ariana Grande)
Released: 2020
Official Singles Chart peak: Number 1
Total chart units: 1.3 million
Total streams: 155 million

The highest-ranking track on this list from Gaga's most recent album Chromatica, Rain On Me is a cathartic, disco triumph all about fighting your way through the other side of trauma. "I hear the thunder coming down," Gaga and Ari croon on the song's magnificent bridge, "won't you rain on me?"

Gaga's sixth and most recent UK Number 1 single, with 153 million streams to its name, it's also her second-most streamed track here.

4. Just Dance (with Colby O'Donis)
Released: 2008
Official Singles Chart peak: Number 1
Total chart units: 1.6 million
Total streams: 72 million

How do you start a solo career that will help re-define the boundaries of pop music? Three simple words: RedOne, Konvict, Gaga (oh-oh-ay). Just Dance may now rank as one of (if the not the) most commercial offerings from the Gaga oeuvre, but time has done little to dull its shine. 

As a road map for Gaga's career and the heights she would go on to reach, it's all neatly packed into Just Dance's 4 minutes and 1 second. Gaga's first UK Number 1 single, Just Dance has chart units in excess of 1.6 million in the UK, making it her fourth most popular song. 

3. Bad Romance
Released: 2009
Official Singles Chart peak: Number 1
Total chart units: 1.7 million
Total streams: 84 million

The song that indisputably turned Gaga from a pop girl of the moment into an undeniable superstar, it's hard to believe that Stefani Germanotta wrote Bad Romance on a tour bus in the middle of the night, somewhere in mainland Europe, aged just 23. Twenty-three!

A strange and malformed pop song, Bad Romance was the ultimate vessel for Gaga's unlimited and unbridled ambition. Her third most popular track in the UK with chart units in excess of 1.7 million, Bad Romance also holds the distinction of being the Lady Gaga singles with the highest physical sales. 

2. Poker Face
Released: 2009
Official Singles Chart peak: Number 1
Total chart units: 1.8 million
Total streams: 83 million

Make no mistake, Gaga was indeed bluffing with her muffin on Poker Face, a slinky and multi-faceted bop all about the intricacies of your sexual identity. The perfect follow-up to Just Dance, it made Gaga into a sensation a world over and its still fascinating people now - Poker Face had the most Googled lyrics of any song in the UK in 2021, thanks to them discovering an explicit secret hidden in the post-chorus.

Overall, with 1.8 million chart units, Poker Face is Gaga's second most popular song in the UK, with 83 million streams too. It's also Gaga's most-downloaded song ever here, with over 1.1 million downloads since it first dropped in 2009.

1. Shallow (with Bradley Cooper)
Released: 2018
Official Singles Chart peak: Number 1
Total chart units: 2.6 million
Total streams: 336 million

After a few years in the wilderness post-Artpop, Gaga returned to the public consciousness with one hell of a start to her career's second act. Not only did Shallow (the theme from Bradley Cooper's 2018 remake of A Star Is Born, also starring Gaga in her cinematic debut) become Gaga's fifth Number 1 single in the UK (and first in nine years), it also won her the Oscar for Best Original Song. 

Gaga's first mega-hit in the time of streaming means Shallow pulls ahead of the competition, entirely in a lane of its own. It has 2.6 million chart units to its name, more than any other on this list, and has more streams than Poker Face, Bad Romance and Just Dance put together. With streams of 336 million, it's obviously Gaga's most-streamed track in the UK. Perhaps surprisingly, Shallow also has the most video streams for any Gaga visual too; 88 million, more than the rest of the Top 10 put together!

[Freaky Prince]

ARUTW is such a solo smash

[sugarysunflower]

Number One is not surprising. 

 

That was spammed on radio EVERY day for a good year.

[KingB®]

ARUTW  

[Peroxide]

ARUTW is a perfect example of how you don't need to have crazy high peaks to make a song a hit...

 

Sad that Applause is that low, and I'm amazed that Why Did You Do That is on here

 

ROM charging her way into top 5 like she should... remains one of her absolute best pop songs.

[AM98GJ]

Lemme stream Shallow and get it to 3M 

[Almighty Gaga]

I didn't know Shallow built a 800k gap already

 

ARUTW at 1m units without being a single

[Kevin Parker]

Shallow, Always Remember Us This Way and Rain On Me being the smash hits of her career's second act  

[Bang Up]

A good collection of songs throughout her career.  

[Infernal Paradise]

Shallow's slayage  ARUTW

 

So many global classics

[ViviLittleM]

Shallow oh my god... what a career

[ViviLittleM]

Hold My Hand already top 35 chile

[Erotic]

Fad of 2009, streaming poison 

[ViviLittleM]

This means born this way is 2x plat!

[TheLastChord]

ARUTW was so incredibly wasted... It's undeiably a hit because of its spotify and youtube numbers, across all metrics really, but the fact that they didn't actually give it single treatment... JAIL. 

[babyforlife]

I love the fact that we will never get over that ARUTW wasn't being pushed as single during ASIB era    

[Dear Reader]

Shallow is such a MONSTER hit 

 

ARUTW being this massive HIT without being released as a single, pure talent  a SOLO song, at that.

 

All around, a successful career 

[alfonso12]

ARUTW having almost 1 million units when it wasn't even a single, girl I-

[Rhiannon]

Huge numbers for Gaga 

[Gerardo]

Surprised that ROM is bigger than Telephone, also damn at Shallow  truly a monster hit and a modern classic 

[kikehilav]

ARUTW peaking at 25 and coming for x3 plat. 

 

[Universo]

Shallow  great list 

[Luckitty]

wow a lot of unexpected placements 

[Diocles]

She really repeaked with Shallow

 

ARUTW being such a huge solo smash without it being a single

[Cheetos]

Truly an amazing collection of classics!
