Lady GaGa continues to defy the odds.
Despite being written off by some sects, the Pop diva’s success narrative received another chapter this week.
For, her latest album ‘Cheek To Cheek’ (with Tony Bennet) has hit a shiny new milestone.
Details below…
Per Soundscan, the Jazz LP – which was released in September last year – sold 30,000 copies in the US this past week, bringing its total Stateside sales to 515,000.
The feat sees the project land at Gold status (RIAA certification pending).
It’s an impressive achievement for GaGa, who can now boast of having all of her albums reach (at least) Gold on home soil. What’s more, the landmark sees ‘Cheek’ become one of just 31 records to sell over 500,000 copies in America in 2014.
Nominated for a Grammy for the set, GaGa and Bennett are currently on a sold-out tour to promote the record which recently also benefitted from a major campaign with H&M.
***************
Say what folk will about GaGa, but the numbers don’t lie.
If she’s booking these kind of numbers with a non-mainstream project in such an unstable climate at that, the foundation looks great for her return to the Pop sphere.
