Lady GaGa has once again proven that when it comes to scoring #1’s, her monsters will do anything to get her there. For, just one day after its surfacing, new promotional single ‘The Edge Of Glory’ has hit #1 on iTunes.
Full story after the jump…
This incredible feat will, no doubt, come as phenomenal news for the 25 year old; whose team are releasing a buzz single a week to heighten anticipation for the singer’s upcoming ‘Born This Way‘ LP (due May 23rd).
With ‘Glory’ now sitting at the top of the digital tally, it’s almost certain to have major impact on the Billboard Hot 100 this coming week. Ironically, it’ll likely steamroll past her current release ‘Judas‘ on the chart – having already done so on the iTunes chart (the RedOne produced cut currently sits at #10)
More commercially potent than ever, the first week sales of ‘Born This Way’ should make for an interesting watch. For both Ms. Germonatta and her rivals.
That’s how it’s done!
Gooo gaga love you!!!!
SAY WHAT U WANT ABOUT HER, BUT SELLS IS WHAT MATTERS AT THE END OF THE DAY!
FLOPYAWNCE needs to TAKE NOTE as RTW is lost out of the top100 on itunes.
LMAO!
She is the QUEEN.
SHE FOREMOST WRITES GOOD MUSIC. YOU MAY DISAGREE BUT THE CHARTS AND HISTORY DISAGREE WITH YOU.
THIS ICON AND FUTURE LEGEND IS TRULY ON THE EDGE OF GLORY!
I HOPE YOU ALL APPRECIATE THIS HISTORY BECAUSE YOUR CHILDREN WILL ASK ABOUT HER!
<3 GAGA = LOVES ALL. ALL = LOVE GAGA <3 X
I´m almost a fan, well I´m only a fan of 3 artists and none of them emerged in the last 15 years. But you know, that HBO special was also so great. I can´t wait for Born this way album. I prefer Judas though. Oh and Judas was also #1 on itunes for 4 days or so, so Sam we still don´t know if Edge of Glory will do better than Judas. probably not cos it´s not even a real single!
She deserves it. Go Gaga!
All the Haters be stutterin’ .. Queen GAGA has done it again!
WHERE WERE THE MONSTER WHEN VIDEOPHONE CAME OUT ?
LMAOOOO
THE SUCCESS OF THE SONG IS BASED ON THE TYPE OF SONG,NOT ABOUT WHO S NAME LINKED TO IT.
@RIHANNAAVY FORGOT TO CHECK TE FLOPO/FLOPSTAR AND WAIT YOUR FLOP CHART RUN EVEN IF RIHANNA PERFORM AT THE AMA and XFACTOR???
LMAOOO
WHY DID RIHANNA DIDNT RELEASE RAINING MEN AS A FIRST SINGLE?
I LL WAIT UNTIL SHE TOOK THIS TYPE OF RISK,UNTIL THEN BYE

THE SONG IS JUST ANOTHER RECYCLED EASY SONG AND SHE HAS 9 MILLIONS FOLLOWERS ON TWITTER.
HAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
MUTHA FUCKA’S

BORN THIS WAY MAY 23TH.
WE RUN THIS M********* YEAR LIKE WE DID IT IN 2008/2009/2010.
MONSTERS ARMY.
Good for her ! Cause Judas don’t deserve the 1# spot IN MY OPINION .
Now let the crazy stans throw shade, hate, & show their iTunes charts eternally
Edge of Glory – #1 on Worldwide itune, Born this way and Judas are also in the top ten. The Fame Monster is also at #10 on Worldwide itunes albums charts, Two years old+. Where is Flop this way now?? Just wait until the album actually DESTROYS the charts!!
I love the song,I hope the song did great.I hated BTW but he did better.Best of luck to the songs !!!!
Love both song EOG and RTW so best of luck to both artists
I guess the “best” fans are the fans who buy ANYTHING. Have at “The Edge of Glory”
*plays Judas*
Lol where the haters at?
Gaga killing it even with promo singles. These usually end up charting in the 50s or less. Lol. Gaga got this on lock.
This is JUST a promo single too.
haters fall the f*** back thank you.
@SHOUW
MY COMMENT IS NOT A BEYONCE SHADE. IN FACT ITS A DEDICADE CAUSE IM BEYONCE AND GAGA STAN. AND THOSE KATY PERRY RIHANNA AND S****** STANS BETTER SHUT THE F*** UP CAUSE WE WILL SHOW THEM HOW ITS DONE.

True! I am sick to death of her at this point, she just exhaust me, but it is obvious that she has a fanbase that will support anything she puts out. I don’t think any of her singles thus far have been remarkable and the videos have been equally dull, but they still top the charts cause her lil monsters will buy anything! You can’t be mad at an artist cause their fan bases support them but tt would be nice if more artist who don’t have to use crazy costumes and over the top religious bashing videos to sell got more shine though. *shrugs*
This is already the third single from her album and it’s the only one I can tolerate so I am sure I will have no interest in her whole album. I don’t doubt that her sales are gonna be thru the rough though. She sells on her name alone.

I meant thru the ‘roof’ not rough! Lol!
@JOHNVIDAL-“I prefer Judas though.” Yes!!! Because “Judas” is clearly a superior song to “The Edge of Glory.”
This is WATERED.DOWN.GAGA. This is the song that will bring her back into the fold. Now that I know what she is capable of doing, these second class Gaga songs like “The Edge of Glory” just sound so……
From a BUSINESS point of view, this was a very smart move. It’s just a promo single. SInce people couldn’t take “Judas,” she had to go back to elementary Gaga to be appreciated.
*waits for Government Hooker”
SMH… this is what music has come to? weird costumes, special effects, anti-religion, etc… it’s obvious now that those who dominate itunes charts and backed up by a shallow young audience…
and for those silly beyonce comments of her being out the chart, it really doesnt matter.. beyonce doesnt care for the charts.. she cares about delivering art and relaxing. a true artist would do that.. not just drop singles every 2 weeks and talk about them night and day until every human being on earth hears about their release date!
MUCH RESPECT FOR THE BILLBOARD MILLENIUM AWARD WINNER!!!
This is not a good song. I’m glad she has a loyal following though. She has shown me nothing with her 1st 3 singles!
where the f*** are you beyonce…
OMG ONLY A GOD CAN DO SUCH A THING! AND GAGA IS A GOD!
ALL THESE OTHER GIRLS AND GUYS WORSHIP AND PRAY TO HER!
I BET ANYTHING WHITNEY IS PRAYING TO HER RIGHT NOW SINCE SHE’S IN REHAB AND NEEDS GUIDANCE! ONLY THE LORD LADY GAGA CAN SAVE YOU!
EVEN MJ PRAYED TO HER!!!!!!!!
I LOVE YOU MY LORD AMD SAVIOR LADY GAGA!
@GAGA IS MY LORD HER MUSIC IS MY RELIGION!!!!
you are severly brainwashed Lady GodGa is not the one who gave you life.
she used to be a basic b****. she sang. got signed. found a gimmick. now you love her. shes not a god sweetie. i hope one day you’ll find the REAL god. and seek jesus.
NIIIICE!
LEGEND GAGA KEEPS WINNING…. HER PROMO SINGLE IS #1…MONSTERS ARE THE BADDEST… ALL HER 3 SINGLES ARE TOP 20 ON ITUNES : BTW JUDAS#10 TEOG#1…. LEGEND GAGA
Alright song and yes her little monsters will buy anything, key word (ANYTHING)!!!

RIHANNA THE GOAT IS REQUESTING HER OWN SONG ON TWITTER.. POOR THANG. SHE IS SO DESPERATE.. LMAO
http://twitter.com/#!/rihanna/status/68028120959156224
Lady GaGa is what it took to put Beyonce in her place lol Beyonce has been on the decline since Gaga stepped on the scene…it’s the truth! Kelly Rowland “Motivation” is slaying “Run the world” so it looks like times are changing!
Rihanna,Katy, and Britney are slaying gaga!!!
Rihanna is nominated for 18 awards at the billboards HAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!
I wanna kiss!!!!
And stop talking about Gaga music is bad….because she is still running things in the music dept, the tour dept, dancing and actually singing dept, and staying relevant!
Easy enough to buy yourself a no1 position on i-tunes
just like record labels used to buy no1s in the single sales charts in record stores
KISS ME!!!!
dont her monsters realise that ther making gaga richer. what is gaga doing for YOUR life. what is she doing for YOUR bank account tho. i just think its FALSE when ppl just buy songs a 100 times just so their fave can get a no.1 it takes the suspense out of releasing new singles
i miss them days where it was HARD to get a no.1 album or single. because then it showed TRUE TALENT. and you gave ur music YOUR ALL so you could get that no.1. NOW you can make a garbage album. and it wil shoot to no.1
FLOP
FLOP
FLOP
FLOP
FLOP
MAJOR FLOP!!!!!
Rihanna’s man down will slay this single
itunes is the reason the billboard charts are becoming more irrelevant
Such an amazing song! Deserves the best!
Sam, get your interns to some grammar and originality classes. They are basically copying each and every move you’ve done here before….

If there werent any gays in the world gaga wouldnt even existed!!!!
Im not a Gaga fan, this is how its suppose to be when an artist with a huge fanbase releases a single. No excuses, the fans came out and supported.
YOUR FAVES ARE YOUR VIRTUES BUT LEGEND GAGA IS THE SAVIOUR YOU CLING TO.
GET THE F***** READY FOR THE LIVIN ON RADIO TOUR…THE BTW ERA GONNA SLAY… BUY BOTH EAR N EYE CONDOMS…
IT IS EASY TO HATE LEGEND GAGA BUT IT IS HARD NOT TO LIKE HER !
I want a cheeseburger!!!
I loved this single a lot more than Judas. Wished it had gone to radio instead
REJOICE AND LOVE YOURSELF TODAY CAUSE YOU WILL BUY BORN THIS WAY
TAYLOR SWIFT sold 1,047,000 in the first week of SPEAK NOW!
Gaga can sell maybe the half of that! (instead of the massive promotion) Judas was a really bad idea around Easter and the video finally killed it. America is liberal, but it can’t take it when it comes to blasphemy and anti-Christianism.
She is nothing but a Madonna wannabe, yes her music might sell but its only because the stupid delusional teenagers buy her rubbish, none of her songs are songs that will be remembered and people keep talking about Beyonce being a flop, am not a fan of hers but at least she is talented and doesnt have to be weird to get attention.
Get ready Monsters and haters!
Hair will be released May 16!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BTW May 23!!
@Methney I live for our posts!
I’m out!
*your
ummm she’s in her prime sooo..
Still not a fan and won’t support anything she does. But congrats to her!
I was raised on Madonna. Gaga’s music is good, but she can’T show me anything I haven’t seen from Madonna. She can be good for young teenagers and stupid people at their 20’s who don’t know the work of Madonna and they think that Gaga is so unique. But she is not. She just repeats Madonna’s quotes.
Madonna is unique.
Madonna is a queen.
Gaga is just a follower. But I appreciate her hard working attitude. (e.g. If Beyoncé had the half of Gaga’s work attitude, I would love her too. But her management, father and songwriters did everything for her. Also Britney is not a hard working person…) And I also hope that she leaves this blasphemy attitude and the Madonna-copying, and then she will be herself.
OOPS I FEEL SOME JEALOUSY, ANGER AND MADNESS IN THE ROOM….
WHEN BABY/LADY GAGA 1ST CAME OUT WITH JUST DANCE THE SAME MATURE PEOPLE IN THIS ROOM WERE SAYIN: SHE IS JUST A 1 HIT WONDER ARTIST. SHE IS JUST A LUCKY GURL WITH A PRETTY FACE…. SHE DIDNT HAVE TO WORK TO GET WHERE SHE IS N BLAH BLAH BLAH
SAY WHAT U WANT… LEGEND GAGA CAN SING WRITE DANCE PLAY PIANO PRODUCE DESIGN…
CAN’T NOBODY (OLD, MATURE, TEENAGER OR JUST KID) TAKE THAT AWAY FROM THE LEGEND…
YOUR FAVES ARE YOUR VIRTUES BUT LEGEND GAGA IS THE SAVIOUR YOU CLING TO.
PROOOF : YOU ARE HERE. IN HER ROOM. CHECKIN FOR HER, NOT CHECKIN FOR YOUR FAVES….SHE IS YOUR SAVIOUR. NOW PRAISE THE LEGEND
I totally stan for Lady Gaga, but it makes me very sad when we criticize other pop artists such as Britney, Beyonce, Rihanna who are also very successful and wonderful in their own ways. Also Mother Monster disapproves of slamming and hating others.
LETs GIVE THEIR FAVES : A PEN, A MIC AND A PIANO AND SEE IF THEY CAN CREATE/MAKE A HIT….
BORN THIS WAY DEBUTED AT #1 N REMAINED FOR 6 WEEKS… N BTW IS STILL SELLIN #13 ON ITUNES… PEOPLE WHO SAID BTW WAS SUCCESSFULL BECAUSE OF THE HYPE ARE EATING THEIR OWN S***** WORDS. PERIOD
IT IS EASY TO HATE LEGEND GAGA BUT IT IS HARD NOT TO LIKE HER !
FLOP
FLOP
FLOP
FLOP!!!!!!!
Godga is slaying all your favs. She is keeping them charts warm for Queen Bey. EOG os probably one of her greatest pieces of work next to either Bad Romance or Speechless. BTW
@kerry what r calling a flop?
PEN + MIC + PIANO…(AND MONSTERS FOR SOME INSPIRATION)
THATS ALL LEGEND GAGA NEEDS TO MAKE ALL THOSE HITS… SHE DOES NOT NEED TO WORK WITH 50 PRODUCERS / 50 SONGWRITERS….
PICASSO + SHAKESPEARE + VERSACE = LEGEND GAGA
A COMBO OF GREATNESS
Please, people. Stay on topic. Don’t bring up other artists to start a stan war. I’m especially talking to you, Crazy Johnson and S***.
@BC
MEHTNEY delusional staments
That damn gaga will hit number 1 EVERY time….. Im on the fence about the song, but her fans love it, so thats all that matters.
Im thinking Born This Way will sell a million the 1st week….
PEN + MIC + PIANO (AND MONSTERS FOR SOME INSPIRATION) = MAKING OF A HIT BY LEGEND GAGA.
YOUR FAVES ARE YOUR VIRTUES BUT LEGEND GAGA IS THE SAVIOUR YOU CLING TO.
If there werent any gays in the world gaga wouldnt even existed!!!!
___________________________________________________
Neither would the world of Beyonce….
Umm wasn’t Judas at #1 and it tanked on the charts? Lol
Hi everyone! I’m new to this grape juice thing but I had to lend my support for the one and only QUEEN OF POP, LADY GAGA!!!
Yeeeeeeees!! Put your paws up!!!
Congrats gaga!!! i know judas was a bad romance rip, but.. i still liked it better. Give us a killer video1 this song is even number one in new zealand!!!!
hahahha
gaga here to show the lessor queens how it should be done in 2011 and will embarass anyone who dare try to approach her
monsters are loving every bit of it
monsters raise your mascotos and drink to that
***OPERATION GAGA TAKEOVER 2011 HAS BEGUN****
Well,First of all I want to say that the ‘little monsters’ are not able to bring up this song, or any song from Gaga, at #1 on the charts. For that, Gaga needs other people who are not her fan but do buy her songs, and I think that is the case with Edge Of Glory.
I don’t believe this is the regular Gaga from Pokerface and just Dance, I dó have ears and if I listen to the song it is (especially with the saxophone) a new sound. It’s energetic.
I love this song, I think Gaga is better then Madonna and anyone around there right now. To look at her and her vocal talents and the talents to produce, wright and create songs like this, there’s no doubt about it. I feel the spirit and her soul, that’s what people want to hear and FEEL. To say Gaga has no talent shows me that youre trying to bring her down. ANyone can say a lot about her, but Gaga behind the piano or in the studio’s : it’s talent.
It doesn’t matter if lady gaga gets number ones, her braindead fans would buy her s*** if she put it up for sale (and said profits would go towards a charity for baby snails or whatever mother teresa thing she has going on at the time). She doesn’t have people who listen to her music and genuinely like it, she just have people who love everything about her. That’s why I don’t think it matters how high she charts anymore. Normal people aka non retarded people who don’t call some stranger ‘mother monster’ are not buying gaga tracks.
I’m not suprised her fan by AANYTHING!
They call her their god so,,,, =/ that’s just f****** scary to me no f****** singer is my god get it together.
And why must you slam other artist to make lady gaga look so great should she not do that herself….
The song does nothing to me but I think it’s cute I still think JUDAS is better even if it flopped.
I also think gaga will sell a million first week if anybody can do it she can,.
Rihanna stans are a freakin joke! Queen GAGA!!!
