Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way” Sets iTunes Record
“Born This Way,” Lady Gaga‘s latest single, has conquered iTunes, becoming the digital music store’s fastest-selling record in history with more than a million downloads in just five days.
Apple announced Gaga’s record-breaking act on Friday, less than a week since “Born This Way” zoomed to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 Singles in its debut week and become the venerable chart tracker’s 1,000th number one. “Born This Way” is the first single of her upcoming album, which is set to be released in May. According to Apple, the track is number one in its iTunes stores in 23 countries.
It has been a very successful and busy week for the pop superstar, who outdid herself when she took the Grammy Awards red carpet inside a giant egg, where she literally hatched before performing her latest hit. She also took home a couple of trophies at the awards show for Best Pop Vocal Album (The Fame Monster) and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance (Bad Romance).
