May 26: Gaga arrives in Singapore

I saw my whole life as if I’d already lived it… an endless parade of parties and cotillions, yachts and polo matches… always the same narrow people. the same mindless chatter. I felt like I was standing at a great precipice, with no one to pull me back, no one who cared… or even noticed.

It’s already been a year since the release of Gaga’s 3d studio album, “Born this Way”, which debuted at No.1 with more than 1,108,000 copies sold in its first week of release - the largest first week album sales in five years. Gaga became the fifth woman to sell one million copies in a week after Whitney Houston in 1992. Rolling Stone magazine ranked the album 6th in their list of “50 Best Albums of 2011” stating that “none of Gaga’s previous exercises in musical plussizing prepared us for this kind of anything-goes extravagance”. MTV described it as the “first multi-national, multi-hyphenate, multi-sexual pop album of our time” and “her grandest mission statement to date”. So let’s take a look back at what “Born this Way” achieved during this past year.
