Lady Gaga's New Single Born This Way Is The Fastest Selling Single In iTunes History

And in 21 countries no less!

Lady GaGa KILLED IT on iTunes chart Friday with her new single Born This Way in just a few hours. Way to go Gaga!

So far America, Austria, Italy, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, Spain, Germany, United Kingdom, France, Portugal, Mexico, The Netherlands, Ireland, Finland, Canada, Greece, Switzerland, and Belgium all went Gaga over the new single.

We have full confidence the Lady's upcoming album will dominate, but we have to wonder if all the drama over the Poker Face singer's single sounding similar to one of Madonna's own songs made fans want to listen that much more?

Find out who is saying what about Gaga's Madonna-like single, after the jump ...

Since Lady Gaga's single dropped Friday morning, fans have begun to claim it's a rip-off of Madonna's 1989 hit Express Yourself. American Idol Season 5 finalist Chris Daughtry Tweeted: "Just listened to a clip of Lady Gaga Born This Way and I gotta say...sounds a lot like "Express Yourself" from Madonna. Thoughts?" He isn't the only one who feels this way, and Madonna has yet to make a comment about the single. Do you think Lady Gaga copied Madonna's Express Yourself?
