Put your paws up, Monsters, because you just helped Lady Gaga break an iTunes record: Apple announced on Feb. 18 that "Born This Way" is officially the fastest selling single ever. She's starting to make this whole pop star thing look way too easy, no?

The song, which Gaga wrote as an anthem for the LGBT community (She has said: "I knew when I wrote the song it was special"), debuted on iTunes last Friday (Feb. 11) and became an instant hit all over the world: It took the top spot in 23 countries. Apple said the song has over one million downloads in just five days.

"Born This Way" is also the 1,000th No. 1 song on the Billboard Hot 100. In an interview with Billboard, Gaga said, "I'm humbled, honored and overwhelmed at the reception to "Born This Way. This has been so life-changing for me. Between Billboard and the international No. 1, and the radio numbers... I couldn't be more blessed to have the fans I have."

You stupid little monsters!!!

@DGH Go bite yourself. She is such an amazing artist. Don't hate her for following her dream. Obvisiously, it was the right thing to do. That's the problem with some people, all they want to do is put people down that are trying to suceed.

she is a no-talent hack,this proves people truly have no taste anymore in good "music" her 15min. of fame will be over someday soon.she is a "fad" thats all.

she's very talented, very creative and an over all great singer and performer....but she always finds a way to look so stupid like she's not thinking at all...

ga-ga's a hack!! her 15min. are almost up!!
