Lady Gaga has proven to be the most famous living person in Facebook, surpassing US President Barack Obama and Britney Spears. The singer is the first to score 10 million fans on the social networking site while still alive.

Only five have more Facebook fans than Lady Gaga. These are Michael Jackson, Texas Hold 'em Poke, the Family Guy TV show, the Mafia Wars game and Facebook.

In response to her fans, the singer tweeted: "Thank u so much little monsters for following me on Facebook! 10 million friends of mine who are now connected to each other."

Scoring 100 million fans on Facebook is only one of the singer's many achievements. Gaga placed as the 73rd Artist of the 2000-10 decade by Billboard. She has sold more than 15 million albums and over 40 million singles internationally as of May this year.

Time magazine has also featured Gaga in its annual Time 100 list of the most influential people in the world in May 2010.
