After only three days of availability, Lady Gaga’s brand new single “Born This Way” made its debut on Billboard’s Pop Songs radio chart at No. 14. The title track from Gaga’s upcoming album received over 4,600 plays, which is the highest detections total by a debuting title in the chart’s 18-year history.
The song is an “instant, massive hit,” said JB Wilde, program director of 105.7 Now, which played the song 58 times on Sunday. “From the first spin, our phones and Facebook pages exploded with comments.”
Sources say that “Born This Way” sold more than 450,000 downloads its first three days of release, breaking the record for the biggest opening for a track by a female artist, which was previously held by Britney Spears’ “Hold It Against Me.”
The track is expected to debut on top of the Billboard Hot 100, becoming the 1000th number one song in the chart’s history.
