Mariah's first ten songs hit #1 on Mediabase CHR (VOL to Hero) Billboard Top 40 started in late 1992, so only 'Dreamlover' and 'Hero' were Mainstream Top 40 #1s.
If 'Paparazzi' goes #1, she will be the first artist in Mainstream Top 4 history to have their first 4 singles go #1, but not on Mediabase.

Mariah started out before the official Mainstream Top 40, though, didn't she?

This is off to a great early start. Should keep her momentum going.

Oh but wait, which chart is Mainstream Top 40? Is it CHR/POP Top 50 mediabase chart or the Billboard one?

My station, WQEN just added Eh Eh to their playlist. The DJ said this was the new single. They spun it Saturday.

^I hope not, because it's easily the best song of the 4.

Well it's the fourth single, I don't think expecting 'Just Dance' success is very realistic.

I think it could...why not? There have been plenty of massive 4th singles.

^^Yes, but not as many 4th singles have been massive while the predecessors were gigantic as well.

Big Girls Don't Cry?
I think this song is good enough to be a huge fourth single.

I don't recall a 4th single ever being a bigger hit when the first 3 singles were all #1's. So yeah, I think it would be pretty hard for this to be a bigger hit than any of the previous 3. Maybe LG it would have a chance of being bigger than, but I definitely don't see how it could be bigger than JD or PF.

I don't remember when was the last time we had 3 singles in a row by an artist going to #1. Avril was the last one if i recall correctly, and her fourth single was "Losing Grip", and that one flopped...
Anyways, i see this one getting a LoveGame level of success, and that's great. At the best it could have a JD level of success, but PF will remain as the biggest single from the album.

If they had gone with the original plan and released 'Anything But Ordinary', there's no doubt in my mind that she would have had four #1's in a row.

Losing Grip is one of her best songs, but Anything But Ordinary was just a perfect single choice. It's still one of my favorite Avril songs. Another on that had similar success was Christina. Two #1, a top 5, and then another #1. OH, Cammy, I forgot about JT.

Can someone please explain to me the "levels of success" for Lady Gaga?
With 3 #1 hits under her belt, there's only one level of success to me, #1.

In that case, I think this will at least be the "Love Game" level of success.

Both JD and PF spent 26+ weeks on the CHR chart, and they spent 3 and a half months in the top ten. LG spent a little longer at #1 than JD did, but I don't consider it a bigger hit than JD because it hasn't held up as well in longevity. Plus there's the whole pop cultural impact that's been being discussed in the IGAF thread.
