Lady Gaga (born 1986) is an American singer, songwriter, and actress. She rose to prominence in 2008 with her debut album The Fame along with its singles "Just Dance" and "Poker Face". Her EP The Fame Monster followed the next year, and featured "Bad Romance", "Telephone", and "Alejandro". She continued to have success with her second album Born This Way (2011), with its title track becoming the fastest selling song on iTunes at the time of its release. With this as well as Artpop (2013), Cheek to Cheek (2014), and Joanne (2016), Gaga became the first female to have four albums top the US Billboard 200 during the 2010s. In television, she won a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress for her work in American Horror Story: Hotel (2015–2016). Gaga is also known for her social activism and created the Born This Way Foundation to empower youth. (Full article...) Part of the Overview of Lady Gaga series, one of Wikipedia's featured topics.
