Ever since she delivered a hit, Bad Romance, in 2009, there has been no turning back for Stefani Germanotta, aka Lady Gaga. Every outfit, every statement and every transition was some sort of an event. Though her controversies have made a lot of noise in Tinsel Town, there is no denying that she has created some of the biggest hits with songs like Shallow and Bad Romance.

Well, here is the greatest debacle. What is, in fact, Lady Gaga's greatest hit? If you see it through the Grammy lens, then Bad Romance, Poker Face, Shallow and I Get A Kick Out Of You tower through with accolades, wins and nominations. As of now, the 'mother monster' is a 13-time winner and 34-time nominee of the Grammy Awards.

If you look at the streaming metrics on Spotify, Shallow leads the list with 1.85 billion streams followed by Rain On Me and A Star Is Born track, Always Remember Us This Way which have crossed almost 800 million streams.

Unfortunately, it's not just Grammys and Spotify which determine an artist's biggest hit. There is also Billboard, which hosts the coveted award show every year which sees the attendance of the top most A-list celebrities from Taylor Swift to Kanye West. According to Billboard Hot 100, Lady Gaga's biggest hit is Born This Way which took the top spot for six weeks. Other songs that hit the first spot on that chart were Rain On Me, Just Dance, Shallow and Poker Face.

When you look at all the official charts websites in the UK, there can only be one winner all over. And that's - Poker Face. It's classic Lady Gaga 101 with a music video that features physics-defying head gears and outfits that you've never seen before. After that come hits like Shallow and Bad Romance. Shallow, which is her most streamed song, flaunts Gaga's vocal skills and became her first Number 1 in nine years.

In short, Lady Gaga's career is woven with many chart-topping hits that make her the pop sensation she is today, but the question of her 'biggest hit' remains elusive with different charts pointing out to different songs. As we decode the maze of Lady Gaga's discography, let's not forget her achievements and contributions to the music world that seals her spot as a pop-culture icon. Whether its the 'oh oh oh' in Bad Romance or the lyrical brilliance in Shallow with Bradley Cooper, she has definitely left a mark in the industry for generations to come.
