Poker Face, which uses poker terminology as a metaphor for a romantic liaison, has been cited as an example of the card game's growing influence on popular culture.
The song has already topped the charts in Australia, Ireland and Canada.
Raised in New York, Lady GaGa has enjoyed a meteoric rise to the top after initially working as a songwriter for other acts such as the Pussycat Dolls.
Just Dance was nominated for a Grammy and the 23-year-old singer performed alongside the Pet Shop Boys at this year's Brit Awards.
