Lady Gaga just made history — again.
Her career‑launching hit “Poker Face” has officially surpassed 2 billion streams on Spotify, and the milestone is huge not just for her, but for the entire music industry.

Why This Record Matters
Originally released in 2008 as the second single from her debut album The Fame, “Poker Face” became an instant smash worldwide — topping the Billboard Hot 100 and charts in over 20 countries. But nearly 18 years later, it’s still resonating with listeners on a massive scale.
Now, the track has officially logged 2 billion Spotify streams, making Gaga the first solo artist ever to have a song reach that milestone in three different decades — the 2000s, 2010s, and 2020s.
This isn’t just nostalgia — it’s proof of timeless appeal.

A Legacy That Keeps Growing
“Poker Face” hasn’t just made history once — it continues to chart and climb in the digital age. Even today, it still holds places on Spotify’s daily global charts, underscoring how listeners old and new keep hitting play.
And Gaga’s streaming success doesn’t stop there. Her latest studio album Mayhem, released in 2025, has also crossed 5 billion streams, making her the first artist with albums from three different decades to reach that mark.
This speaks to her unwavering relevance — from classic hits that defined a generation to new music that continues to dominate playlists.

- A bold early dance‑pop anthem that helped define Gaga’s persona.
- One of her earliest No. 1 hits, and a breakout moment that helped launch her into global superstardom.
That she’s still breaking records nearly two decades later shows how lasting her influence really is.
