The Fame is the debut studio album by American singer Lady Gaga. It was released on August 19, 2008, by Interscope Records. After joining KonLive Distribution and Cherrytree Records in 2008, Gaga began working on the album with different producers, primarily RedOne, Martin Kierszenbaum, and Rob Fusari. Musically, The Fame is an electropop, synth-pop, and dance-pop record that displays influences from 1980s music. Lyrically, it visualizes Gaga`s love of fame in general, while also dealing with subjects such as love, sex, money, drugs, and sexual identity. The album was primarily promoted through The Fame Ball Tour and multiple television appearances, and was reissued as a deluxe edition with The Fame Monster on November 18, 2009.

The album received generally favorable reviews from critics, who commended its lyrical content, Gaga`s musicianship and vocal ability. It was a commercial success, topping the charts in several countries including the United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, Ireland, Poland, and Switzerland. It peaked at number two on the US Billboard 200, and also topped the Dance/Electronic Albums chart for 175 non-consecutive weeks, the most time on top in history. It has since been certified six-times Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The Fame became the fifth best-selling album of 2009, and has sold over 4.9 million copies in the United States as of January 2019. Combined with The Fame Monster, the album had sold over 18 million copies worldwide as of August 2019.

The first two singles off the album, `Just Dance` and `Poker Face` gained international success, topping the charts in several countries worldwide including the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia. The subsequent singles `LoveGame` and `Paparazzi` were commercial successes as well, charting within the top-ten of over ten countries worldwide. `Eh, Eh (Nothing Else I Can Say)` had a limited single release, while `Beautiful, Dirty, Rich` served as a promotional single.

The Fame has won multiple awards since its release. The album was nominated for a total of five Grammy Awards at the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year. It won Best Electronic/Dance Album and Best Dance Recording for its single `Poker Face`, and also won Best International Album at the 2010 Brit Awards. In 2013 and 2022, Rolling Stone named The Fame as one of the `100 Greatest Debut Albums of All-Time`. As of 2023, it is the 12th biggest album of all time on the US Billboard 200.

Background and development
While establishing herself as an artist and working her way up through the New York underground club scene, Lady Gaga released her debut studio album, The Fame.[2] Speaking about the title and concept of the album, Gaga explained: `The Fame is about how anyone can feel famous. ... Pop culture is art. It doesn`t make you cool to hate pop culture, so I embraced it and you hear it all over The Fame. But, it`s a sharable fame. I want to invite you all to the party. I want people to feel a part of this lifestyle.`[3] Gaga stated in an interview with MTV UK that she had been working on the album for two and a half years and completed half of it during the first week of January 2008.[4] As well as writing the lyrics, Gaga worked on the melodies and synth work of the album, with record producer RedOne.[3] According to Gaga, the first track `Just Dance` is a joyous, heart-themed song, which appeals to people going through tough times in their life.[5] `LoveGame`, the second track, was inspired by Gaga`s sexual crush on a stranger in a night club to whom she said, `I wanna ride on your disco stick`. It was written in four minutes based on the disco stick hook.[6] `Paparazzi` has been interpreted with different meanings. However Gaga explained in an interview with About.com, that the song was inspired by her struggles and hunger for fame and love. Essentially a love song, `Paparazzi` dealt with enticing the media and asked the question, whether one can have both fame and love.[7]
