As Lady GaGa reaches the summit of the Mainstream Top 40 airplay chart with "LoveGame," not only does she score her third No. 1 from "The Fame," she makes a little bit of chart history.

LG is the third artist in the 16-year history of the chart to take  a trio of songs from her debut  to No. 1. "LoveGame" follows "Just Dance" and "Poker Face,"  according to Billboard.

Let's hope Lady GaGa fares better than the two alumni on the list: Ace of Base (with "The Sign," "All That She Wants" and "Don't Turn Around") and Avril Lavigne ("Complicated," "Sk8ter Boi" and "I'm With You."

She may reach a greater plateau if "LoveGame" goes to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, where it is bulleted at No. 5.  "The Fame" has sold 1.16 million copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

    Let's hope she fares the same as Ace of Bass & Avril Lavigne. The sooner she's off the scene the better. So tired of this talentless manufactured pop act.

    Trust me, Lady Gaga has done wonders for female Top 40 pop. If you don't believe me, listen to "Sober" or "Please Don't Leave Me" from Pink, "Wanted" by Jesse James, or "Battlefield" by Jordin Sparks. Even Britney is coasting these days. You can call Lady Gaga a number of things, but "boring" is not one of them.
