25,000,000 people heard Born This Way on the radio on its first day. The numbers are flawed of course, because if you heard Born This Way twice, it will count as 2 individual listeners.
It was played out to 25 million people on the radio yesterday, and that almost doubles the record set by Beyonce's Deja Vu of a 13 million first day update

"Born This Way" is massive in every way: It's a huge-sounding single with a pulsating beat and a love-yourself message that's bound to pack dancefloors and blast from cars, computers and radios for weeks to come.
The song is surprisingly reminiscent of Madonna -- recalling "Express Yourself" in several places and "Vogue" in the spoken bits -- but in the best way possible. "It doesn't matter if you love him or capital H-I-M," Gaga says at the beginning of the song. "Just put your paws up, because you were born this way, baby."
The beat then comes crashing in and the song is off to the races, building and releasing tension in its multiple but fluid sections.
That's the song people said held the record when Britney got close the other week, but even if someone else holds it she's definitely broken it with 25 million
