Lady Gaga for Google Chrome

Lady Gaga builds one of the world's largest fan bases by using the web to talk directly and openly to her community.

This film celebrates Lady Gaga's special and unmediated relationship with her fans, the Little Monsters. The making of this film is a demonstration of the power of the web in its own right. The entire project, beginning with Lady Gaga's shoot in NYC on May 8th, to shipping materials to the television networks for air, took 10 days. Within hours of the release of her new single "Edge of Glory" on May 9th, fans began uploading videos on YouTube, making the song their own by dancing to it, singing it and playing it on all kinds of instruments. Lady Gaga then posted a message on her website asking for more videos to be used in the film project. Fans responded within minutes and uploaded hundreds more videos. Back in the editing room, in real time as fan videos streamed in, editors were putting them into the film. The film was completed on May 18th in time to air during Lady Gaga's performance on the season finale of Saturday Night Live, and to also live on the web forever.

Carrie Underwood Becomes American Idol's Highest Earner

As predicted by Simon Cowell after Carrie Underwood's "Alone" performance in Season 4 of American Idol, she has just surpassed Season 1 winner, Kelly Clarkson, to become American Idol’s best-selling artist and the highest earner.

Nielsen SoundScan shows that as of May 16, Underwood has sold more than 12,296,000 albums and 18,482,000 digital tracks since her career began, this compared to Clarkson's 10,600,000 albums sold and 15,900,000 digital tracks sold. Furthermore, according to Billboard BoxScore, as far as tour revenues are concerned, Carrie's got Kelly beat by a lot with $66,000,000 in earnings, whereas Kelly has brought in around $32,000,000.

Congrats to Carrie! And to Kelly Clarkson as well, those are some big numbers for both ladies.
