>The numbers are in for Lady Gaga's Born This Way, and the album broke records, selling 1.1 million copies in its first week.
Gaga's first-week numbers are the highest since 50 Cent released The Massacre in 2005. Additionally, Born This Way is only the 17th album to cross the "1 million copies in the first week" mark since SoundScan started keeping track in 1991.
Gaga also broke records on the digital front. Born This Way was downloaded 662,000 times, and now holds the record for most downloads of an album in a week.
With Gaga taking the #1 spot for the week, Brad Paisley's new release This Is Country Music came in at a distant #2 with 153,000 copies sold, and Adele's 21 was #3, selling 126,000 copies.
