Lady GaGa Throws Her Wig Into The Top 10

Happy Thanksgiving! Is it wrong to want to dig into the Honeybaked ham and turkey sitting in my fridge...at 7:59 a.m.? Maybe just one small piece?

Anyway, yay, Beyoncé, etc., for I Am...Sasha Fierce's availability last week propelling "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)" all the way up to #2 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart. She performed the song on the Today Show yesterday wearing a black skin tight catsuit. Meow!



The other big news is that Lady GaGa's "Just Dance"—a single that's been out since April—finally flies into the Top 10, at #7. Alas, it's up in the air at this point whether the Lady will eke out a long pop career. She's certainly on the right track, penning songs for New Kids On The Block and Britney Spears.

At any rate, it's been awhile since there's been a bona fide dance/pop diva in the upper reaches of the American charts.

And just for fun, here are some other memorable singles that have peaked at #7 in the U.S. over the past two decades:

• Technotronic, "Get Up! (Before The Night Is Over" (1990)
• Rick Astley, "Cry For Help" (1991)
• Seal, "Crazy" (1991)
• Tara Kemp, "Piece Of My Heart" (1991)
• Madonna, "Deeper And Deeper" (1992)
• Duran Duran, "Come Undone" (1993)
• Michael Jackson, "Will You Be There" (1993)
• Take That, "Back For Good" (1995)
• George Michael, "Jesus To A Child" (1996)
• Robyn, "Do You Know What It Takes" (1997)
• Jewel, "Foolish Games" (1997)
• Aqua, "Barbie Girl" (1997)
• Robyn, "Show Me Love" (1997)
• Pink, "There You Go" (2000)
• Kylie Minogue, "Can't Get You Out Of My Head" (2002)
• Kelly Clarkson, "Because Of You" (2005)
• Ne-Yo, "Sexy Love" (2006)
• Rihanna featuring Ne-Yo, "Hate That I Love You" (2007)
• Yael Naim, "New Soul" (2008)
  
• Ne-Yo, "Closer" (2008)
• Christina Aguilera, "Keeps Gettin' Better" (2008)

Of course, that's not to say that Lady GaGa's "Just Dance" has peaked just yet. Anyway, did I forget any? I'm sure. Fuck it, I'm going to eat turkey!
