Lady GaGa has revealed that she calls her British fans her “little monsters”.

The controversial singer has been crowned the queen of the downloads after coming top of the all-time charts after her single Poker Face notched up 779,000 sales on downloads alone.

GaGa’s first British release, Just Dance, is at No.3 with 700,000.

And the star says she’s grateful to everyone in the UK for buying her music.

“The commitment and devotion of my fans in the UK, otherwise known as ‘my little monsters’, has made for a truly memorable and successful year,” said GaGa.

“I love my fans eternally, and will continue to live, breathe, bleed, and love music and fashion for them.”

The list, compiled by the Official Charts Company, is to mark five years since the launch of the download chart.

The entire top five has been released within the past 12 months. Digital sales now account for about 98 per cent of the singles market.

“This is a fabulous achievement from Lady Gaga, to come from nowhere in January to dominating the all-time downloads list with two in the top three,” said Martin Talbot, managing director of the Official Charts Company.

“Her success — and that of Kings Of Leon and Leona Lewis, too -– reflect the resurgent success of the singles market in the era of the download.”
