Lady Gaga's 'Born This Way' Debuts at No. 1 on Billboard 200 Albums Chart

Lady Gaga's new 'Born This Way' album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart with 1,108,000 copies sold in its first week.

'Born This Way' had the largest sales week of any album since 2005's 50 Cent album 'The Massacre,' which barely beat Gaga, selling 1,141,000 in its first week. 'Born This Way' is only the 17th album to sell a million copies in one week. 'Born This Way's chart performance gives Gaga her first No. 1 album -- her personal best. Her debut album 'The Fame' peaked at No. 2, while her follow up 'The Fame Monster' EP reached No. 5.

Gaga's success knocks chart queen Adele out of her long-held No. 1 spot. Adele's '21' slips to No. 3, while country music superstar Brad Paisley's 'This is Country Music' takes the runner-up spot. All hail Mother Monster!

WHAT A MIND! Not since David Bowie have I seen such expression! Her songs may start sounding alike, but her performance is still riveting!

I was thinking about a comment I recently heard on TV, that Lady Gaga is so very talented but her make-up distracts from her talent. My thought was, especially in light of her new hit "Born this Way", if the Lady is advocating being yourself, being proud of who you are, why is she hiding behind her make-up and outfits. It is more of a disguise than an experession of this talented individual. My personal comment: Lady Gaga, practise what you preach and show the world who you really are! You don't compare in outfits to Cher, as I also heard remarked, because Cher's outfits, while some say outrageous, were flattering and stylish not freakish.
