Lady Gaga marks a month-long reign on Last.fm, the internet radio station that lets users in more than 200 countries listen to music in the site's library. The pop sensation holds the top five spots on the singles chart released June 28, with most recent single "Alejandro" leading the pack.

Last.fm's top ten tracks show little change in number of listeners for the current chart week, which measures listeners from June 14 through 20; only the Muse tracks "Uprising" and "Supermassive Black Hole" swap ninth and tenth place. However, Eminem's "Not Afraid" - off his album Recovery, which was released just two days before the end of the chart week - has climbed to 14th place with more than 18,800 listeners.

Last.fm records two tracks by The Chemical Brothers as among the most hyped tracks of the week. "Escape Velocity" and "Swoon," both off the duo's June 7 release Further, grew 2,985 percent and 1,305 percent respectively to boast more than 36,000 listeners combined.
