Lady Gaga maintains pole position on Billboard’s European Albums chart with “The Fame” (Interscope/Universal), but loses out to a new female frontrunner on European Hot 100 Singles, as her “Bad Romance” is replaced at No. 1 by Ke$ha’s “Tik Tok” (RCA/Sony Music Entertainment).

Ke$ha’s chart-topping debut European singles chart success makes up for a close shave last year, when the hit she guested on, Flo-Rida’s “Right Round” (Atlantic/Warner Music), spent seven consecutive weeks at No. 2 on European Hot 100 Singles, held off the top by Lady Gaga’s “Poker Face.”

“Tik Tok,” which peaked at No. 4 in the United Kingdom four weeks ago, now spends a third week at No. 1 in Austria, Switzerland and Wallony, and a second in Germany. It debuts at No. 2 in France, holds at No. 6 in Italy and climbs 11-9 in Spain.
