SomethingMore 1,701 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Copied from ATRL (written by umichgrad07). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Abk1jAONjw Little did we all know, despite the song not having a huge start at radio and retail, the next pop phenomenon was being born. Lady Gaga, real name Stefani Germanotta, debuted her uptempo track, Just Dance, on April 8, 2008. Starting off as just a small hit in clubs and local radio stations, no one would have thought that this simple electronic dance track would go on to be one of the biggest digital sellers of all time. Finally gaining traction in the United States in late 2008, the now-global superstar went on to claim her first #1 - dethroning a huge hit at the time, Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It). The juggernaut hit would go on to spend three consecutive weeks atop the singles chart and spend a total of 49 weeks on the tally - the highest by any major pop girl. It sales stand at a whopping 6.9 million downloads (from an album that went on to sell over 4.4 million copies) in the US - claiming two of the top ten most-downloaded songs of all time (with her highest-selling track being Poker Face - 7.1 million). Join us as we celebrate the birth of one of the biggest dance hits of the 2000s and the birth of superstar Lady Gaga. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
