The singer proved more confident than ever in the barely-there outfit

Lady Gaga is storming the charts with her latest single – and she’s ensured she remains firmly printed in everyone’s memories this week.

The blonde beauty, 30, showed off her enviably toned figure in some tiny black hot pants and a white crop top as she hit New York to promote the hit Perfect Illusion.

Flashing her extensive tattoos and impressive abs, the star stopped to greet fans in her usual outrageous style, before covering up her midriff as she walked towards the cameras.

No need to cover up Lady G – we’d love that six-pack.

Wearing her bright hair tied back, she appeared in great spirits and happily signed autographs outside.

American DJ duo The Chainsmokers look set to keep their number one spot on the Official Singles Chart for a third week as Lady Gaga’s single is currently sitting in fourth place in the midweek chart.

On Friday, the US singer released the first track from her forthcoming fifth album, which is her first solo record in three years.

However, despite the high-profile launch of the song, Lady Gaga has been unable to topple the charts’ top three singles.

The Chainsmokers’ Closer, a collaboration with singer Halsey, is still at number one, while DJ Snake and Justin Bieber’s Let Me Love You is sticking at number two and Major Lazer’s Cold Water remains in the third spot.
Perfect Illusion is the highest new entry of the week, though, and – if it holds its position – it will be Lady Gaga’s first single in the UK top five since her 2013 track Applause, which peaked at number four.

Rounding off the top five at the mid-week stage is Calum Scott’s Dancing On My Own, another non-mover.
