(and I, for one, welcome our new Canadian-American overlord). It has sat at the number one spot one Billboard's Hot 100 chart for 12 weeks now, putting it in the rarefied air of "Yeah!", "Lose Yourself", "Smooth" and (I can't believe I'm typing this) "Boom Boom Pow."

Lady Gaga: 'ARTPOP' App Not Subject To Same #NewRules As Jay Z's 'Magna Carta Holy Grail,' In-App Sales Of Mother Monster's New Album Will Count

By Alex Galbraith, Mstars Reporter | Aug 01, 2013 02:55 PM EDT

As with all things in life, the #NewRules don't apply to everybody. That's what Billboard editorial director Bill Werde said on Twitter, anyway.
