Lady Gaga slays the competition with her ridiculous first week sales.
Gaga is only the fifth female artist to pass the platinum mark in a week. Of her first week sales, 662,000 came from digital retailers.Jacked from The Hollywood Reporter
Lady Gaga's album Born This Way debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart with 1,108,000 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 also marks Gaga's first No. 1 album -- The Fame debut peaked at No. 2, while The Fame Monster EP reached No. 5 and dance effort The Remix hit No. 6.
Born This Way's bow 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, when it debuted at No. 1 with 2,416,000 in 2000.
Additionally, Gaga is only the fifth woman to notch a million-plus week. The record frame for a woman is held by the bow of Britney Spears' Oops! I Did It Again, which started with 1,319,000 upon its release in May of 2000. The Bodyguard soundtrack, driven mostly by Whitney Houston songs, was the first SoundScan-era album to shift a million, and it did so over the busy Christmas shopping week of 1992 (1,061,000). Later, Norah Jonas' Feels Like Home debuted with 1,022,000 in 2004, and then the aforementioned Swift sizzled just last year.

Well I guess Beyonce just got a nice big batch of STFU... I love it!!
beyonce has still sold more records and has made what gaga made her whole career in 1 yrs , so gag b dont gotta stfu, cause she makes on average 60 million a year her and her husband together are worth about a billion. while gaga a coke addicted how hangs around gags, ya beyonce really lost. like em said if i has black it would of sold half. if beyonce was white best believe she have 3 million sales 1st week

@12:43 Trust me Beyonce will be bothered, she is ALL about numbers and status..trust that
@12:43
You do realize that gaga has been out for about 2 years and bey has been out over 10 so why even say bey has made more in 1 year than gaga in her whole career. Granted that's not true anyway. Y'all stans stay sipping the koolaid.

OFF - TOPIC: 2 days ago,
Didn't SNOOKI get arrested in Italy for running over police officer on a motorcycle?
Her albums were .99. It's unfair to compare her numbers to artists who sell their albums for $14 a pop.
Go GaGa!!!
If GaGa sold her album for .99 on Amazon, you better believe Beyonce will sell hers for 50cent, so please...
Like others have said, GaGa sold her albums for $0.99. Rihanna supposedly did the same thing with her Rated R album, and people called her out for it. GaGa's ugly ass should be called out as well!!
FUCK BEYONCE!!!!!!!!!!!! IT IS ABOUT TIME SOMEBODY SLAYED THAT OVERHYPED, OVER-RATED MONEY HUNGRY SELLOUT NO TALENT BITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!
DIE BITCH DIE!!!!!!!!!
beyonce made 80 million one year gaga only has 60 , so yea beyonce has made more in one year then gaga has her whole career. also rihanna had her album on sal e for 5$ not 99 cents. so gaga just million plus and on half the sales made at most 10 cents x 662,000 aka no money dont forget she is in the red cause her tour cost more then she making in ticket sales another L. forget beyonce rihanna making more then gaga
don't hate appreciate! go GaGa! hoepfully that whore beyucky will go complete her transformation into a white woman and vanish
Good for you GAGA!!! Let's go get em'
well well somebody shittin on that swagger jacking heffa beyonce, aaaand a white girl too!!
TAKE THAT BEY STANS!!! LMAO
I really don't neither one of these bish Beyonce just getting tried of her and Gaga to me is very destructive she is like the women version of Marilyn Mason.
Good for her. This music industry calls all the music today art. It's a bunch of bull.
Her music is demonic to me.
only 440,000 came from digital downloads of which 280,000 was from amazon and the other and the other 160,000 was from itunes (other digital people) and the remaining 560,000 was actual albums purchased from a retailer so she still trumps beyonces first week sales on all of beys solo albums. beyonce sold only 410,000 on her sasha fierce first week sales and 60% came from digital sales so shut up. im autistic and I remember numbers well. You really don't want me to sit here and break it all down for you imbeciles...do you? shall I continue? GaGa trumps beyonce on a bad day, and you can take that to the bank!
White folks are still loyal to their celebrities. They actually pay for music.
11:40 AM unless gaga is signing your paychecks take you mouth off her clit, you most likey one of her gaga gay fans who feel better about their nasty , no use to humanity lifestyle when they here on of her average tracks. take away redone and gaga has no more hits cause all gagas hits come from redone where as redone has hits without gaga. if gaga sold so much more then beyonce why beyonce got more $$$ ? beyonce black and white people wont by as much of her records cause of it yet she has more money then all theses young white female pop stars. and too 11:58 white people download the most illegal music so shut the fuck up. 250 million whites and all she can do its 3 million in sales? 30 million blacks and beyonce does 3 million in sales. by % blacks support their artist why more then those cheap crackers
White people are the ones that actually bought Beyonce. go suck a dick 4:01.
