As expected, Lady GaGa tops Billboard's Top 100 Chart debuting at # 1 selling an impressive 1,108,000 million copies sold in its first week, according to Nielsen SoundScan. It’s 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.
'Born This Way' reaps the largest sales week of any album since 50 Cent's "The Massacre" did 1,141,000 in its first week, in March of 2005. The last time we had a million-plus frame was when Taylor Swift's "Speak Now" premiered at No. 1 with 1,047,000 in November of 2010. The SoundScan-era record week is held by NSYNC's "No Strings Attached," which debuted at No. 1 with 2,416,000 in 2000.
GaGa has one hell of a following and thanks to a major promo push, 99 cent album download on Amazon.com, big-time appearances, killer performances, and of course the undying support of her 'Little Monsters', GaGa reigns supreme right now. This is also GaGa's 1st album to debut at the top spot. “The Fame” debut at No. 2, while “The Fame Monster” EP reached No. 5 .
Congrats are definitly in order for Lady GaGa!
