Lady Gaga posts inspiring Instagram after 'Shallow' rises to number 1 in the charts
As Lady Gaga's famous quote goes, there can be a hundred records in the charts, and 99 don’t reach the top. But one does.
And that one record happens to be hers. "Shallow" is number one on the Hot 100 along with the soundtrack to A Star Is Born.
This is a major milestone for Gaga, who wrote on Instagram that it's her first number 1 in eight years. "It feels like 'Just Dance' going number one all over again," she wrote.
Gaga also posted some advice in light of reaching her milestone.
"Rule #1: Never give up. Rule #2: Always listen to rule #1," she wrote.
"Thank you so much to all our beautiful fans. You make my dreams come true," Gaga added.
