Lady Gaga At No.1 On European Albums Again!
There’s a returning heroine at the top of Billboard’s European Albums chart, as Lady Gaga’s “The Fame” (Interscope/Universal) goes back to No. 1 in its 65th week. That makes for another double triumph for the pop superstar, whose “Telephone” duet with Beyoncé becomes the new No. 1 on European Hot 100 Singles.
“The Fame,” which was previously No. 1 across Europe for a week last April and six more this January and February, is back up 2-1 for a fourth separate run at the top in the United Kingdom, on weekly sales of a lowly 25,000. It also bounces back 11-7 in France and holds at No. 9 in Germany. It replaces Amy Macdonald’s “A Curious Thing (Mercury/Universal) which falls to No. 2 after three weeks at the overall summit. Macdonald does however move back 2-1 in Switzerland.
