100 million dollar Gaga Factor –Top 30 Safe Songs for schools (2-22-11)

Feb. 18 2011

“In less than a week Lady Gaga has sold 1 million digital copies of her newest song, Born This Way, making it the fastest selling single ever on iTunes. The song has already hit No. 1 in 23 countries, according to Interscope Geffen A&M.

Combine that with Gaga’s three Grammy Awards and it’s been a good week for the pop singer. Born This Way is the first single off of Gaga’s upcoming album of the same name. Her manager, Troy Carter, has said that he wants to sell 30 million copies of the new album. As my colleague Zack O’Malley Greenburg reported, that’s an ambition goal.

But even if she doesn’t sell quite that many copies, a successful new album could put Gaga well on her way to earning $100 million next year. We estimated her earning at $62 million for our Celebrity 100 last year. That added revenue is going to come from Gaga making ‘the transition from an arena act playing 20,000-seat venues to an artist capable of selling out 80,000-seat football stadiums,” according to Greenburg.”

NOTE:  Two new adds to the NATIONAL DO NOT PLAY LIST:  Snoop Dog- Wet/Sweat (either version is obnoxious) and Kanye West with Jay Z – H*A*M.  ( I can’t remember the last Kanye West song that wasn’t objectionable for schools.)
