And she also happens to have more #1 hits than anyone in this decade! She has earned eight #1 hits since 2010 (plus one in 2008). All of which she was the lead artist on.

Five of which came from one single album, the immaculate Teenage Dream. She's the only female artist to ever achieve this feat.
