Lady Gaga Gets Blessing From Madonna

Finally, after three days, I can break free from this egg!

Lady Gaga's new Madonna-influenced single Born This Way is expected to storm the U.S. charts this week after record-setting radio play and more than 450,000 downloads, music industry sources say.

And the dance single also has the blessing of Madonna, Lady Gaga said.

Born This Way  -- which fans and music critics have likened to the 1989 Madonna hit Express Yourself -- had sold more than 450,000 downloads in the first three days since its release on Friday, Billboard said quoting industry sources.

It also had a record-setting 4,602 radio plays in the United States, according to Nielsen. That should see the single debut at No.1 when the Billboard Hot 100 charts are released on Wednesday, Billboard said.

Lady Gaga addressed Madonna's influence in an appearance on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno on Monday.

"There is really no one that is a more adoring and loving Madonna fan than me. I am the hugest fan personally and professionally," the 24-year-old singer told Jay Leno.

"Well, the good news is that I got an e-mail from her people, and her sending me their love and complete support on behalf of the single, and if the queen says it shall be, then it shall be," she said.

Lady Gaga, who won three Grammys on Sunday after a headline-grabbing entrance encased in a giant egg, will make her concert debut on cable channel HBO in May.

HBO said on Tuesday that it would tape the singer's 21 and 22 February concerts at Madison Square Garden in New York for a 7 May broadcast.

Born This Way  is the first single from a new Lady Gaga album scheduled for release on May 23.

The singer and performance artist told Jay Leno on Monday that the opaque egg in which she arrived at the Grammys was in fact a "vessel" and said she had been inside it for three days before her performance on Sunday. Reuters
