Fame

Shortly after the song's release, it was the #1 most downloaded song on iTunes as well as #1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

History
Originally known as the Grumman Aircraft Engineering Co., Gulfstream's roots began to form in the late 1950s. The Grumman Gulfstream I (GI) pioneered the industry and was the first aircraft designed specifically to accommodate business travel. Shortly after, Grumman designed the jet-powered GII. At this point in time, the business jet portion of the company relocated to Savannah, Georgia, where it has remained for the last four decades. A total of 256 GII's were delivered before the GIII was developed in the late 1970s. This model was also successful due to its longer range and superior speed. Fast forward to 1995 and Gulfstream released the world's first ultra-long range business jet, the GV, which still remains prominent today. In 2008, the GVI was announced, which to this day is the fastest, largest, and can fly the longest of any jet in the Gulfstream fleet. Read more about the history of Gulfstream on wikipedia.
