Lady Gaga has become the first music artist to notch up 1billion views on online video sites like Youtube.

The 23-year-old singer achieved the feat through her first three singles alone: 'Just Dance' which notched up 273million views, 'Bad Romance' with 360million and 'Poker Face' with 375million.

Video analytics company Visible Measures gathered the statistics by counting up views on sites like Youtube, Muzu, DailyMotion and Vevo.

Gaga's latest music video 'Telephone', featuring Beyonce, has already wracked up over 10million views on Youtube alone, however this was not counted in the survey.

Visible Measures have also listed a top ten of the '100million club' viral videos which is currently topped by Soulja Boy's 'Crank Dat' on 722million.

The Twilight saga trailers and Susan Boyle's debut performance on Britain's Got Talent also made the top ten.
