Lady GaGa‘s ‘Born This Way‘ is this weeks #3 with fans around the world buying 152,000 copies of the album placing it 15 chart positions above Rihanna‘s ‘Loud’.
The album, which spawned the singles ‘Man Down’ and ‘Only Girl In The World’ moved 42,000 units within the last seven days surpassing the efforts of Jennifer Lopez‘ ‘LOVE?’ which came in at #24 with 34,000 copies purchased around the world in the last week.
