Lady Gaga's New Album "Born This Way" Breaks 1 Million in First Week

Who will be the next Madonna? Don’t look around; it will surely be Lady Gaga! Not surprisingly, Lady Gaga’s now album “Born This Way” tops Billboard after its release last week and its sales breaks 1,108,000 copies at 99 cents at Amazon in the first week! The figure marked the best first-week album sales since 50 Cent's “The Massacre” sold 1,141,000 copies in 2005.



This marks the best sale accomplishment of Nielsen since 1991 among the 17 album which sells 1 million in first week. Furthermore, 1.1 million is also the highest since 2005.

“Clearly customers are really excited for Lady Gaga's new album -- we saw extraordinary response to Monday's promotion -- far above what we expected -- she definitely melted some servers,” Craig Pape, director of music for Amazon, said in a statement.



Amazon also provides 20Gs of storage Amazon’s Cloud Drive for those who purchase the album, so customers can store and playback the music in the web and on Google Android phones and tablets like Samsung Galaxy S or Motorola Xoom.
