After its first three days of availability, Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" rockets to a record-setting debut on Billboard's Mainstream Top 40 radio airplay chart. And thanks to exceptionally strong opening digital sales estimates -- not to mention her eye-grabbing performance of the song at the Grammy Awards last night -- looks likely to storm the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 1 when the latter list is released Wednesday. This, of course, would make the song the 1,000th No. 1 single in the Billboard Hot 100's history.
The first single and title track from the star's third studio album, due May 23, storms Mainstream Top 40 at No. 14 with 4,602 plays, according to Nielsen BDS, the highest detections total by a debuting title in the chart's 18-year history. Additionally, sources say that "Born" shifted more than 450,000 downloads its first three days of release since Friday morning.
Its big sales start, plus jaw-dropping radio launch, sets up the song's likely debut at No. 1 on the Hot 100. Not only would a No. 1 start represent just the Hot 100's 19th No. 1 opening, but, as previously reported, it would also mark the survey's 1,000th leader dating to its 1958 inception.
The opening Mainstream Top 40 plays sum of 4,602 for "Born" (which translates to a first-week audience of 39.3 million) bests the mark established when "Hold It Against Me" arrived with 4,071 spins four weeks ago. (Spears' song debuted after a full seven days of airplay. "Born" sets the format opening-week plays mark after only three days of availability, following the song's arrival at radio early Friday).
By launching at No. 14, "Born" logs the second-highest start in the Mainstream Top 40 list's archives. Only Mariah Carey's "Dreamlover" began at a higher rank, having soared in at No. 12 the week of Aug. 14, 1993. "Hold It Against Me" and Madonna's "Frozen" (March 7, 1998) follow with No. 16 arrivals.
ออกตัวแรงตั้งแต่ต้นปี Lady Gaga นำพาซิงเกิ้ลล่าสุด Born This Way เดินหน้าทำลายสถิติที่เคยมาอย่างราบคาบ ทั้งการเปิดตัวด้วยยอดดาวโหลดที่สูงสุด ถึง 450,000 ครั้ง ถูกเปิดออกอากาศทางวิทยุถึง 4,602 รอบ เด้งเข้าชาร์ต Mainstream Top 40 ที่อันดับ 14 ในสัปดาห์แรก และเปิดตัวเป็นอันดับ 1 Billboard Hot 100 เพลงที่ 1000 พอดิบพอดี ตั้งแต่ก่อตั้งชาร์ตมา
