The irrepressible Lady Gaga returns with her mammoth new album Born This Way. Featuring the hit singles ‘Born This Way’ and ‘Judas’, along with the brand new tracks ‘The Edge of Glory’ and ‘Hair’, Lady Gaga’s latest offering is THE must have album for 2011.
Right from the outset, this album was always going to be huge. The first single, title track ‘Born This Way’, set a music industry record becoming the fastest single in history to reach sales of 1 million copies worldwide, just five days after its February release.
Breaking records is nothing new for Lady Gaga. She is the only artist in the digital era to top the 5 million sales mark with her first two hits; Gaga broke the record when her single ‘Poker Face’ reached 5 million in sales after her debut single ‘Just Dance’ accomplished the same feat the year before.
She has over 1 billion combined views of all her videos online. She is also a staple in the social networking world. She's one of the biggest living people on Facebook nearing 35 million 'likes’ and is #1 on Twitter with over 10 million followers.
Her contributions to the music industry have garnered her numerous achievements including five Grammy Awards amongst twelve nominations, two Guinness World Records and the estimated sale of 15 million albums and 51 million singles worldwide.
Billboard named her both the "2010 Artist of the Year" and the top selling artist of 2010 ranking her as the 73rd Artist of the 2000s decade. Gaga has been included in Time's annual "The 2010 Time 100" list of the most influential people in the world and she recently topped Forbes’ list of the "The World's Most Powerful Celebrities".
