Born for $uccess
Yes, we had no doubt about it that Lady Gaga�s Born This Way would make it as the No. 1 album but we didn�t think it would be this soon.
According to Nielsen SoundScan, the Born This Way album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart with over 1 million copies sold in its first week alone.
Born This Way also marks Gaga�s first No. 1 album, as The Fame peaked at No. 2 while The Fame Monster EP reached No. 5.
Born This Way is only the 17th album to sell a million in a week, since SoundScan began tracking sales data in 1991, and the highest sales week since 2005.
Gaga is only the fifth woman to hit a million-plus week, with over 1,108,000 copies. The record frame for a woman is held by Britney Spears�s Oops! I Did It Again, which started with 1,319,000 upon its release in May of 2000. The Bodyguard soundtrack, driven mostly by Whitney Houston�s songs, was the first SoundScan-era album to shift a million, in 1992. Later, Norah Jones' Feels Like Home debuted with 1,022,000 in 2004, and then Taylor Swift�s Speak Now sizzzled with 1,047,000.
What a feat, Gaga. What a feat! Time to thank the little monsters, Motha Monster.
