Lady Gaga has made history with the soundtrack for A Star Is Born.
The pop icon made her big screen debut in the film, a remake which follows ageing musician Jackson Maine (Bradley Cooper) as he discovers aspiring singer-songwriter Ally Rose (Gaga) and nurtures her into a star, falling in love in the process.
While the two leads have been garnering critical acclaim for their performances, it’s the film’s music that Gaga fans are really loving, as it features original songs written by the co-stars alongside a host of big-name collaborators.
So it’s no surprise, then, that the official soundtrack has shot straight to number one in both the US charts and UK charts in its first week on sale.
