Lady Gaga's 'Born This Way' To Sell 1.15 Million Copies On US Chart

Lady Gaga's new album 'Born This Way' is on target to top the US Billboard album chart with first week sales of 1.15million.

It will make the album the biggest-selling record since 'Celebrity' by N*Sync In 2001, which sold 1.88million copies.

Sales of 'Born This Way' have been helped by a comprehensive promotional campaign, which included Amazon selling the album for 99 cents.

Billboard estimates that the two-day sales blitz helped the album shift nearly 500,000 copies.

As previously reported on Gigwise, Lady Gaga's second full-length album debuted at number one on the UK album chart on Sunday (May 29), and has repeated the feat across the world.
