Lady Gaga Claims Swedish Top Spot


CHART SPOTLIGHT. According to a recent tweet, the next single to be lifted off the Born This Way set by Lady Gaga will be the RedOne production “Judas.” Currently sitting at No.1 in the US, Gaga manages to dethrone Bruno Mars’ “Grenade” in Sweden this week.

“Born This Way” becomes the singer’s third No.1 hit following “Poker Face” and “Bad Romance.” Issued on Feb.11, the track has managed to also reach the top in Australia, Canada, Finland, Ireland, New Zealand, Switzerland, Spain, South Korea, Scotland, Netherlands and Belgium.  The track peaked at No.3 in the UK, while only managing to reach No.43 in the Czech Republic. WelcheMusic will follow the Czech chart run.

The track was produced by Gaga, DJ White Shadow and Fernando Garibay. The latter has previously worked with the singer on tracks such as “Dance in the Dark” and the SNL version of  “Paparazzi.” Earlier this year, “Bad Romance”  and The Fame Monster rendered Lady Gaga several Grammies.
