A record week for Gaga's 'Born This Way'Lady Gaga sure knows how to make an entrance. Her new album "Born This Way" sold a whopping 1,108,000 copies last week, making it the biggest No. 1 debut since 2005, when 50 Cent's "The Massacre" opened with 1,141,000 sales, Newsday's Glenn Gamboa reports. Gaga had a lot of help to reach that peak, as Amazon.com sold the MP3 version of the album for 99 cents for two days last week, generating about 440,000 sales, according to Billboard, which also reported that the company lost about $7.41 for each of those sales.
