Tony Bennett & Lady Gaga's 'Cheek To Cheek' Debuts at No. 1
Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga's jazzy new duets album,
Cheek To Cheek, debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. It's the second No. 1 for Bennett and the third for Gaga.
The standards album, released Sept. 23 on Streamline/Interscope/RPM/Columbia Records, sold 131,000 copies in the week ending Sept. 28, according to Nielsen SoundScan. It also hits No. 1 on both the Jazz Albums and Traditional Jazz Albums charts.
88-year old Bennett is the oldest living act to earn a No. 1 album, beating a record he set himself back in 2011. That year, a then 85-year old Bennett scored his first No. 1 album with
Duets II (which included a collaboration with Gaga on "The Lady Is a Tramp").
Gaga previously led the list with
ARTPOP, less than a year ago, and
Born This Way, in 2011.
