Lady Gaga's Born This Was Blasts Onto UK Charts

Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" album made its expected powerful arrival to the U.K. chart Sunday (May 29), with the biggest first-week sale of the year here of 215,000 units, more than the rest of the top ten titles combined.

Lady Gaga's opening U.K. sales narrowly beat Adele's first-week tally of 208,000 for "21" in late January. "Born This Way" is joined in the top ten by its predecessor "The Fame," which rises 11-7.

The Australians also went crazy for Lady Gaga, as the much-anticipated album, released on May 23, is already approaching multi-platinum status in that country.

Seriously who actually brought this album? I don’t see anyone talking about this album. No one talk about the materials of this album itself. It’s about the numbers. One million this and one million that. I think this album is over hyped and its lack luster. The material of the album does not match the hype surrounded by the album.

Hoo, a million only why do I expect more than that. With the recent Zynga games and endless promotion from networking sites, o c'mon. Anyways nice strategy GaGa! Salute. :-)wowaccountforsale
