Lady Gaga has kept the likes of Katy Perry and Rihanna at bay to earn her sixth week on top of US singles chart. Despite a relative sales let-down on this side of the Atlantic, the singer is once again enjoying success at Number One with ‘Born This Way’ this week.
Gaga managed to hold off competition from a resurgent Katy Perry, who went from Number Three to Two with her latest single ‘E.T.’ (featuring Kanye West). Also in the running were Rihanna with ‘S&M’ and Cee Lo Green, who earned the Number Four spot with ‘F**K You’.
New entries came from Selena Gomez, who earned Number 24 with ‘Who Says’ and (scarily) Rebecca Black, who debuted at Number 72 with her auto-tuned catastrophe ‘Friday’.
The US Top 5 singles this week are:
1. (1) Lady GaGa: 'Born This Way'
2. (3) Katy Perry ft. Kanye West: 'E.T.'
3. (4) Rihanna: 'S&M'
4. (2) Cee Lo Green: 'F**k You!'
5. (22) Pink: 'F**kin' Perfect'
Meanwhile, it has been revealed that tracklisting and album art posted online yesterday for Gaga’s upcoming release ‘Born This Way’ was in fact a fake. The pictures, which were posted on a newly-formed tumlr.com profile were taken by many to be Gaga’s own doing. However, the album was proved to be a fake hours later as the uploader posted details about his creation on the blog.
