Lady Gaga's Born This Way delivers biggest 1st week of 2011
Lady Gaga’s Born This Way flies to number one in the Official Albums Chart and delivers the biggest first week for an album of 2011 so far with over 215,000 sales, more than the rest of the Top 10 combined.
On hearing the news, Lady Gaga responded "I feel so honored.... I wrote the album's first single Born This Way in Manchester because I was so inspired by the confidence and bravery characteristic of my fans: Little Monsters. To the United Kingdom, thank you for believing in me."
Did she use an Amazon-like tactic for this market? I just feel the haters are going to discredit this.
I am impressed. I really didn't think this album would sell that much.
Born This Way follows Lady Gaga’s debut album The Fame, which was also an Official Albums Chart number one and has sold over 2.5 million copies in the UK alone.
