Lady Gaga is a singer, songwriter, and actor from the United States. She is well-known for her visual transformations and musical versatility. Gaga began performing as a child by singing at open mic nights and acting in school plays. Gaga's five consecutive studio albums all debuted at the top of the US Billboard 200. Born This Way (2011), her second full-length album explored electronic rock and techno-pop and sold more than one million copies in its first week. The title tune became the iTunes Store's fastest-selling song in less than a week, with over one million downloads in less than a week. Her contributions to the latter's soundtrack, culminating in the chart-topping single "Shallow," made her the only woman to win an Academy Award, a BAFTA Award, a Golden Globe Award, and a Grammy Award all in the same year.
