Lady Gaga originally wrote her track “Telephone” for Britney Spears, but Brit rejected the song, so Gaga decided to record it herself and recruited Beyoncé to help give it the added superstar treatment.
"I wrote it for her (Britney) a long time ago
and she just didn't use it for her album - it's fine because I love the song and I get to perform it now."
Not only has “Telephone” placed Spears’ competitors at No 1 on the charts, but the song has put Gaga and Beyoncé in a tie with Mariah Carey for most ever No 1 songs on the Billboard Pop Songs, catapulting the 2 rival pop divas ahead of…..you guessed it….Britney Spears as well as Avril Lavigne, Pink, and Justin Timberlake who each have five No. 1s.
Did you know? Lady Gaga started her career writing songs for other artists, such as Fergie, the Pussycat Dolls, Britney Spears, and New Kids on the Block, before she struck gold with her 2008 debut release “The Fame."
