Lady Gaga has been taken over pop singer Britney Spears for breaking records and history with historic sales and airplay records. Over a three day span, Gaga’s "Born This Way" debuted at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, selling an amazing 448k downloads. This means the track has made its highest first week digital sales by a female artist in history. By debuting at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, "Born This Way" makes history as the 1,000th song in a 52-year history and being the largest premiere-week for airplay.
Lady Gaga had a groundbreaking audience of 78.5 million listeners. "Born This Way" has also token over Britney’s "Hold It Against Me" which debuted at #1 four weeks ago by selling 411k in digital sells and with 45 million listeners.
Meanwhile, "Born This Way" has been receiving negativity and controversy. I don't think that Gaga would, literally go copy Madonna. Yes, I do think that she took inspiration from Express Yourself, No I personally don't think that she's copying.
