Lady GaGa’s second studio album, Born This Way, continues its revival, bouncing from three to one, to secure its third week at the summit.
The album is clearly benefiting from both increased radio and TV exposure of The Edge Of Glory, and multiple screenings of Paul O’Grady’s GaGa TV special.
The Edge Of Glory was the third of four songs from Born This Way ahead of the album’s release, and has finally usurped Born This Way in the affections of radio programmers. It jumps 14-11 on the radio airplay chart this week to reach a new peak, while its promotional video, which has been in circulation for less than a fortnight, rockets 68-5 on the TV airplay chart. Debuting and peaking at number six in May, The Edge Of Glory has also rebounded 28-16-8 on the sales chart.
GaGa put in a very strong performance of the track and several others on Paul O’Grady’s GaGa special, which was first screened on ITV1 a week last Friday (17th). Subsequent ITV2 repeats on Sunday (19th) and Tuesday (22nd) both helped the album, which sold a further 47,184 copies last week to boost its five week tally to 406,628. GaGa’s debut album, The Fame was also helped, climbing 20-13 (9,381 sales). It climbs 14-12 on the list of the 21st century’s biggest selling albums, with a to-date tally of 2,626,067.
