From this week's Billboard:
GAGA'S 'GAME' FOR TOP 10: Lady GaGa becomes the sixth female artist this decade to send her first three singles from a debut album into the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100, as "LoveGame" leaps 22-10 with Greatest Gainer/Digital honors.
With "Just Dance" and "Poker Face" having reached No. 1, Lady GaGa is in line to become the just the second artist in the Hot 100's history to post a trio of No. 1s with her first three singles from a debut album, joining Mariah Carey, who sent her first five to the top in 1990-91.

The thing is though is that Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks at her height ,were still in the age of the album and even their studio albums then that weren't Rumours still sold several million copies each .A 4 or 5 million sellling album today is almost unheard of when back in the day there were quite a few artists that could sell that much each time out.Lady Gaga will be lucky if she sees double platinum so in that realm she just cannot compete with the past.
