Lady Gaga has broken another Twitter record.

Late Saturday night, the pop sensation's Twitter account notched its 10 millionth follower. She is the microblogging site's first user to pass this milestone.

Mama Monster tweeted her thanks to her 10 million (and counting) Twitter fans. (You can view her tweet below.)

The second most-followed tweeter is Justin Bieber, who has over 9.65 million tweeps and is closing in fast on Gaga's Twitter crown, according to MediaBistro.

Twitter announced in April that the site now has over 200 million accounts.

Congrats to Lady Gaga. I wonder, however, when we'll see the appearance of Gentleman Booboo? :D

I'm not really a fan of Lady Gaga's sound & attire. She's too outrageous for my personal taste. I do respect that she knows exactly who she is & is proud of that. So many people try to conform & be popular; Lady Gaga doesn't. Though I'm not a fan of her sound, I do agree with her message.

I'm a bit of a music snob. When I first heard of Lady Gaga, I was quick to dismiss her as a talentless fad. I started watching her Monster Ball special on TV one night for a lack of anything else to do. I have to now admit that I like her. She is talented. She can play instruments. She has a lovely voice. Those of you who say horrible things about her need to open your minds. She has more talent that most "musicians" these days. I won't be buying her CD anytime soon, but I do appreciate her and her message of being yourself. Maybe if we learned to be less judgmental, the world would be a better place.

I went through the exact same thing. I didn't want to fall for the hype, but when I saw her live performances on youtube, I simply couldn't deny her talent. Also appreciate her message and the way she stands up for the LGBT community. Fanned and faved!

What's not to like about the Illuminati's biggest star , she has something for everybody .

Bad Romance - " I want your Psycho , your vertical stick "- for u romantics !
"I want your horror , I want your design , cause you're a criminal , as long as your mind " for u lovers of criminally insane !
"I want your Ugly , I want your disease " for u premed lovers .

Obviously music as progressed into positive messages for the young !

Maybe she should have replaced Charlie Sheen on 2 & 1/2 men.

Voice Modulators, In Sync Choreography, Sex, Eye Canfy...These are few reasons Gaga is a genius..

there's nothing fake about Gaga. Watch her sing an acoustic version of her songs live...while playing piano. She's the real deal.

Real?
Oh fall down laughing!
Every gizmo known to sound techs to make her sound good... The freakiest excuses for 'fashion' so you can't forget her even though she looks older and nastier by the week...
THAT'S what you call real?
There's more fake to her than there's genuine by a looooooong mile.

She may wear eccentric outfits- as did Elton John, Prince, Madonna and many others, but it is her own style, she is extremely creative- and as far as being "real" watch the video I linked. It may not be your style, but she does have actual talent and ability, its not all about auto tune or technology. I'm a classically trained cellist, 37 years old, and I love Lady Gaga.

Is she trying to look like Cruella De Ville now?

She is nothing more than a Madonna Tribute Band though...

Absolutely not true. She can actually play an instrument and read music. Oh and she has a range of more than 1/2 an octave.

we're in our 60's and we like lady gaga. i hope that isn't the kiss of death. we think her music is great and we realize that she is a great musician and that she is doing performance art. she also stands up for what she believes in.

Lady Gaga was really beautiful before she became Gaga. Now she just grosses me out. Not that her 10 million fans care.

Oh, I'm sure she's got more than ten million fans. I doubt all her fans follow her on Twitter.

but that's precisely what puts her in a league of her own... every pop star, especially female, relies on society's vision of "pretty" and then pumps that up... to be adored..

gaga at least has the guts to embrace ugly... no, its not curing cancer.. .but within the realm in which she plays... its a bit groundbreaking... not even madonna had the guts to go "ugly"... so the comparisons to her career are way off as well....

I love that Lady GaGa wakes up in the morning, puts on whatever she feels like wearing, walks out proud, and rocks it. It must be fabulous to make costume attire daily wear! I'd do it if I could!!

Those 'looks' that you love so much?
Take about 5 hours to put together.
With lots of help.
So much for spontaneous.

Now all she needs is braces.

Once again, people who simply don't understand and haven't bothered to do the research swoop in to pillory GaGa primarily because she looks funny. Unlike Madonna (who admittedly hired talented collaborators), she is a very accomplished musician as anyone who has seen her live show can attest. She is REAL and a true artist in many ways that the "brands" of the Madonnas and Brittanys of the world are not. And what does GaGa do ALL of the time? Make movies or television shows? Relax by the pool in Beverly Hills? No. She tours, tours, tours performing before her fans because she quite honestly believes that she OWES them that. Anyone that has seen her live, and the expense that she lavishes on her show, and that every night she leaves nothing behind in the dressing room, just can't believe that she is doing it for the money or notoriety. For those out there making the "don't have a life" comments, go back to your video games, NCIS series, smut, or whatever other crap you are watching while the rest of us are dancing at the club to Lady GaGa.

Sorry I don't so video games, smut, or any of the other things you mention.
I work, and garden and do things with friends and family. I don't hang around watching the freak shows in the clubs anymore.
