Lady Gaga's latest album 'Born This Way' that was released just over a week ago has sold more than one million copies, securing the flamboyant singer top spot on the U.S. pop chart. Billboard announced Tuesday that "Born This Way" has become just the 17th album to sell a million copies in its first week since SoundScan started tracking sales in 1991.
A hugely popular 99-cent promotion by online retailer Amazon.com Inc. also contributed to the album's massive success, reports English.news.cn.
Billboard estimated that Amazon downloads accounted for upward of 440,000 downloads of "Born This Way."
Overall digital downloads totaled a record-breaking 662,000 copies, Billboard said.
