Speaking to Billboard the singer said: 'It is a tremendous honor. To be the 1000th Number One on Billboard...I would be silly not to say this is the greatest honour of my career.


'I am so humbled and so honoured and overwhelmed by the reception to 'Born This Way'. It has been so life changing for me as an artist, and between Billboard and the international number ones and the radio numbers...I couldn't be more blessed to have the fans that I have.'
