\"lady-gaga.jpg\"Not only did the queen of tweets, Lady Gaga break the record for most Twitter followers<\/a>, she has now broken the record for fastest-selling<\/a> single ever<\/a> on the Apple iTunes Store with her new song Born This Way.<\/p>\n

Recently on Sirius\/XM radio she said if there was a movie about her life she would want to be played by Marisa Tomei as when she gets upset her friends tell her that her “New York” accent comes out.<\/p>\n

What is perhaps most amazing about Lady Gaga is that many call her the new Madonna – some say it in a derogatory fashion, personally I think she has mimicked the performer and one-upped her nicely. And when Madonna began to rise in popularity it was MTV which helped her take her outrageous outfits to the masses quickly through interviews and 24×7 videos. BTW – for all the youts<\/a> reading this, there was a time when MTV played just music and you didn’t even associate the word Guido with the station.<\/p>\n

But Lady GaGa has skipped past MTV, and uses YouTube where she has had over a billion views, Twitter where she has 8.2M+ followers and iTunes to reach the masses. Not that MTV has lost its importance – its just the new wave of social and tech mediums are being used to propel this artist’s career even faster than Madonna’s.<\/p>\n

YouTube, social and iTunes haven’t killed<\/a> the video star but they certainly seem to have more reach and importance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
