Pop sensation Lady Gaga has broken yet another record after her music video for hit single ‘Bad Romance’ became the most-viewed video in YouTube history.
Double Grammy-winning Gaga, or Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta to her mother, has seen the video, which sees the singer kidnapped by supermodels and sold to the Russian mafia, overtake previous champ ‘Charlie bit my finger – again!’ with 180,748,037 views at the time of writing. 
The single itself reached number-one on the UK Singles Chart, Irish Singles Chart, Canadian Hot 100 and the Swedish, German, Austrian and Danish charts, while peaking at number two in countries such as the United States, Australia and New Zealand.
The video, directed by I Am Legend’s Francis Lawrence, forms a vital part of Lady Gaga’s YouTube channel which has also smashed site records by becoming the first to receive a billion views – thanks to stomping hit videos including ‘Just Dance’, ‘Poker Face’ and new tracks such as the Beyonce collaboration ‘Telephone’ which became an instant internet sensation reaching 500,000 hits within twelve hours of its video appearing on YouTube.
Gaga’s eye-catching videos are so popular that a quarter of all visitors to Vevo – the major labels’ new, YouTube-partnered video site – arrive purely for her music.
The Queen of YouTube is currently performing on her Monster Ball Tour across the UK and Lady Gaga tickets can be purchased for all venues from viagogo.
