Billboard has just released official numbers from last week’s album sales and as expected Gaga has brought in some huge numbers!
Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way” debuts at No.1 with 1,108,000 copies sold. This becomes one of 17 albums to debut with over 1 million sales in its first week, and the highest sales week since 2005 when 50 Cent’s “The Massacre” debuted to 1,141,000 copies. The last 1 million+ sales week went to Taylor Swift’s “Speak Now” which debuted to 1,008,000 copies. The record highest first week sales goes to NSYNC’s “No Strings Attached” which sold 2,416,000 copies in the first week.
Believe it or not, this is also Gaga’s first No.1 album as well. “The Fame” peaked at No.2, while “The Fame Monster EP” peaked at No.5.
After that .99 cent album sale on Amazon, it’s hard to believe Gaga wouldn’t debut to No.1 Did you buy “Born This Way?”
