Gaga vs. Swift

GAGA VS. SWIFT: More fun chart factoids. Last October, when Taylor Swift’s Speak Now sold 1.044 million copies, her total represented 18% of all albums sold that week. Lady Gaga’s Born This Way, which sold approximately 60k more than Swift did, represents 16.5% of the total albums sold this week. While it may not seem like a big difference, it could be a sign that the overall album market is strengthening, a fact underscored since the Swift album was released in the always-bustling Q4 last year.
