Little Monster's Rejoice! Lady Gaga Born This Way Album Debuts with 1.11 Million Copies

Paws Up! Little Monsters! Our Mama Monster again proves her global popularity.

Few artists can sold their albums for more than 1 million copies in the first week. Do you remember the last artist who debuted album with more than 1 million copies? It's Taylor Swift. The country music diva released her third studio album "Speak Now" in 2010 with 1,047,000 copies in its first week. Now Lady Gaga breaks the record with her second studio album "Born This Way", which was released on May 23, 2011. Unexpectedly, Gaga has globally sold 1,108,000 copies of the BTW album in its first week.

Here's Lady Gaga's Born This Way single music video. You can download it from YouTube with this YouTube Downloader software.


It has been six years since the last album debuted with more than Gaga's 1.1 million copies. It was 50 Cent's. The band had sold their hit album "The Massacre" 1.14 million copies in its first week in 2005, which is much closed with Gaga's Born This Way 1.1 million copies.

To promote her album, Lady Gaga made a surprising move – she sold her Born This Way album on Amazon.com for only 0.99 US dollars in the first two day. 440,000 copies of the album were sold at the low price.

With the success of "Born This Way" album, Lady Gaga's influence toward the world culture is being further extended. Lady Gaga is no longer the newbie who just can sang her ‘the fame' songs, but the icon that can influence people's religion and culture. So do you like the old Lady Gaga or the new Lady Gaga?

A lot of people don't understand Lady Gaga, her songs and her music videos. They just hate Gaga's works. It's obviously that Gaga learns from Madonna. Gaga also confirms it. Besides, Gaga writes her own songs, has added the stylish elements and her own feelings, experience, understanding of life and her talent to her works. She also interact very actively with her fans. Those are why I'm fond of Lady Gaga.

Lady Gaga to Sing Duet with YouTube Wonder Maria Aragon at Toronto Concert

It is reported that Mother monster asked the YouTube sensation 10-year-old Maria Aragon to sing duet with her at her Toronto concert next month. Lady Gaga made this requisition on the phone via Winnipeg radio station Hot 103 last Feb. 18. Maria has accepted the offer.

We knew that Lady Gaga released her most recent title track 'Born This Way' on February 11, 2011. The song has quickly climbed to No.1 on iTunes download chart in 22 countries, and No.1 on US Billboard Hot 100. Five days later on February 16,  Born This Way Cover was posted on YouTube. In the cover video, the 10-year-old Canadian girl Maria Aragon sings Gaga's Born This Way with a piano in a very pure and sweet voice. Up to now, the video has been hit approximately 10 million times and has quickly become Internet sensation.


Gaga's friend and celebrity blogger Perez Hilton sent the video to Gaga. Gaga watched the video and deeply touched by Aragon. Gaga then tweeted that "Can't stop crying watching this. This is why I make music. She is the future."

Winnipeg radio station Hot 103 made an interview with Aragon and had Gaga on the phone. On the phone, Gaga said that she'd been having a 'bad day' until she witnessed Aragon's version of Born This Way and became 'overjoyed'. "You have such a beautiful voice and you are a joy to watch," Gaga said that to Maria. Then Gaga invited Maria to duet with her, "Oh maybe you're just gonna have to come onstage (at Toronto concert) with me and sing that song. What do you think?"

Maria excitedly accepted Gaga's offer, saying, with tears in her eyes, "That would be really cool!"

I just can't wait to witness Lady Gaga with little Aragon to sing duet at the Toronto concert. What about you?

Something about Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga
Lady Gaga is just perfect in my eyes. If you don't agree with me about this, you can ignore the text below.

Lady Gaga's full name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta. She was born on March 28, 1986 in New York City. (Surprise! She is even younger than me.) She is the eldest child in her family. Her father is an internet entrepreneur called Joseph Germanotta. Her family was not wealthy, her parents "both came from lower-class families, so we've worked for everything – my mother worked eight to eight out of the house, in telecommunications, and so did my father", Gaga said.

Gaga is talented in music early in her childhood. When she was 4, she learned to play piano. When 13, she had already been able to write her own piano ballad. The next year at her 14, Gaga began performing at open mike nights.

When Gaga was in high school musical, she did not fit in school. A former high school classmate said recalled that "She had a core group of friends; she was a good student. She liked boys a lot, but singing was No. 1".

Gaga then went to New York University with early admission; there she continued her favorite thing – Music. While studying music, she improved her songwriting skills. She felt that she was more creative than her other classmates. By the second semester of her sophomore year, she withdrew from the school to focus on her musical career. "I left my entire family, got the cheapest apartment I could find, and ate shit until somebody would listen," she said.

Then Gaga's vocal abilities were recognized by Akon. Then she released her debut studio album 'The Fame'. Then she became super successful with the two singles in the album – "Just Dance" and "Poker Face", and has been included in Time magazine's annual Time 100 list of the most influential people in the world. Then Gaga becomes 'mother monster', and calls her fans 'little monsters'. In 2011, Lady Gaga is going to release her second studio album 'Born This Way' on May 23. I'm looking forward to it.

Here are the words George Watsky rapped in the video - 'Break Ya Neck'- Busta Rhymes


O hai
i'm that guy
built so fly in a silk bow tie
don't know why i'm built so fly
but i am, no lie
oh my
rolled by on a low ride Huffy
sitting on the pegs, shelltoes puffy
cuff rolled up to my calf
class out the ass
bad with the swag like buffy
Gotta be the one to bite the bullet i'm sinner but i bet I coulda been a better man
I wanna be zen. but I go sipping on some medicine instead of meditating but I get when i can
I don't wanna wind up in the gutter with a bottle of malt-
liquor, bitter cause i never got a call
telling me
that it's all
figured out
i'm sick of doubt
but i'm looking at the wall
part of me was hoping to be caught up in the moment and to be open to the good and the God in me
but i got a labotomy and i get that I oughtta become a bit of an oddity when somebody gets offended by the thought of me
who's he? you gotta be kidding me
do me like Gabourey Sidibe
if you see me with a chickadee
no diggity it'll be giggity giggity giggity
gonna send it like a letter from above
with a woman that I love
cause I get it like i live
but if my baby's gay I'll say you go gay baby, work that crib!
work that bib
burp that kid
screw po-lice
flip that car
i don't want a Jesus piece
but i want a Reece's Piece and a Kit Kat Bar
I want everybody focusing on getting me to Letterman to kick it for the betterment of innocent Americans who never want to settle for their pop
Or not--
my bedroom rocks
and the beat still knocks
when I sort my socks
i'm five foot eleven of sex from the tip of my head to my gorgeous knees


The video drew a big response from the YouTube community. YouTube call the fast rapping the new regular rapping.
