Billboard Names LADY GAGA 2010 Artist Of The Year


Just a year after taking the title for Billboard Best New Artist 2009 she has taken the crown for Billboard Artist Of The Year 2010. That shows you were talent and dedication will take you. She told herself she would take over the world and she did just that. The last artist to take both spots concurrently was Chris Brown back in 2006. Whitney Houston was the last female to do so way back in 1985. Since the start of the top overall artist category in 1981 only 7 women have taken home the trophy, including  Lady GagaTaylor Swift nabbed it in 2009, preceded by LeAnn Rimes (1997), Alanis Morissette (1996), Mariah Carey (1991), Whitney Houston (1986) and Madonna (1985).

GAGA takes the top spot thanks to the performance of both albums "The Fame" and "The Fame Monster" on the charts. Both albums rank 4th and 13th on the Top Billboard 200 Albums tally. Given that The Fame was released two years ago and still placed in 2010 is amazing. Four singles from those albums made the Top 100 Singles round up. "Bad Romance" placed highest at No.8.

CONGRATS TO THE QUEEN OF ALL PLASTIC STARZ
