Seemingly emerging out of nowhere and spreading to every corner of the world, Lady GaGa's fame, like swine flu, has reached pandemic levels over the past few months. In much the same way as the H1N1 virus, the 23-year-old makes lots of people hot under the collar, but with her unique "GaGa" style, she's certainly got them talking about it. Continuing on her quest to infect us all, she now returns with single number three.

Slowing down the pace and releasing a midtempo track after two massive number ones is a move that can go terribly wrong for some popstars. But 'Paparazzi' is further evidence that Lady GaGa is immune to the fate of her peers. It's a less bombastic affair than its predecessors, but thanks to a typically catchy chorus and some smart, celebrity-themed lyrics, very nearly as thrilling in the finish. Backed with a hilariously self-indulgent video, it seems GaGa still has us firmly in her clutch and, ahem, squeeling for more.
