Thanks to the renewed counts, Gaga’s surpassed the 100 million RIAA certified units threshold (when albums and singles are included).
The win not only makes her the sixth female act to accomplish this in the United States (following Rihanna, Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, Nicki Minaj, and Mariah Carey), but – when digital single sales are considered alone – she places sixth among all acts (behind Drake, Rihanna, Swift, Eminem, and Perry).
