Mister Gaga 22,948 Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 In response to @Cry's thread Is Gaga able to debut a single and slay everyone like Adele? Well, maybe not now. But she did, back in 2011. Of course, time passed and now Adele holds this records. But it's nice to remember that Gaga had the same power 1) "Born This Way" became the quickest selling single on US iTunes, reaching number one within three hours of release. (February 11, 2011)2) "Born This Way" had the highest first day radio plays, with 1,838. (February 11, 2011)3) "Born This Way" had the highest first day radio impressions, with 25 million with a total of 2,500 plays from all formats. (February 11, 2011)4) "Born This Way" became the first track to top all 23 iTunes charts 'simultaneously'. (February 12, 2011)5) "Born This Way" became fastest single to sell a million downloads on iTunes, by accomplishing this feat in five days. (February 16, 2011 - Guinness World Records)6) "Born This Way" debuted at number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. (February 26, 2011)7) Lady Gaga had the biggest debut by a female artist by selling 450,000 downloads of "Born This Way".(February 26, 2011)8) "Born This Way" debuted on Billboard’s Pop Songs radio chart at number fourteen, receiving over 4,600 plays, which is the highest detections total by a debuting title in the chart’s eighteen year history.

DiscoHeaven23 35,007 Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Not even being biased as a stan, but the only event that compares to this Adele single drop is when Gaga dropped "Born This Way" the song. The whole world was dying to hear what she had to offer, coming off The Fame Moster era (one of the greatest eras of all time), and the day it dropped felt a lot like yesterday when Adele dropped "Hello"You know, just writing that made me almost cry cuz i ducking miss when Gaga was on top. I took that S**t for granted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SissyFromSpace 20,884 Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Don't forget Gaga also made the pop girls make watered down "empowerment" songs such as We R Who We R or Firework.Born This Way was very explicit, made some people disgruntled, was in your face and down to the point.

The whole world was dying to hear what she had to offer, coming off The Fame Moster era (one of the greatest eras of all time), and the day it dropped felt a lot like yesterday when Adele dropped "Hello" all of this. I wasn't a fan in 2011, but i remember the day after the Grammys, Born This Way was EVERYWHERE. Just like Hello now a days. Happy for Adele, and happy that Gaga had her moment too. They're both great artists Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FATCAT 60,293 Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Let's just be happy for Adele right now, without comparisons. I don't doubt that Gaga could out-perform 'Hello', but whether or not she wants to is a whole other story. We'll see, I suppose.

Bad Bromance 5,809 Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 all of this. I wasn't a fan in 2011, but i remember the day after the Grammys, Born This Way was EVERYWHERE. Just like Hello now a days. Happy for Adele, and happy that Gaga had her moment too. They're both great artists Yes!!! I remember my three top 40 hits local radio stations had Born This Way on an hourly rotation. They literally would play the song at the top of the hour the entire weekend after Gaga dropped it on 02-11-11. I don't care what you think about unless it is about me.
