Lady Gaga New Album 'Cheek to Cheek' with Tony Bennett Hits No. 1 on Billboard 200, Watch Video for 'But Beautiful' Here (VIDEO)
Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett released a new video of the duo performing "But Beautiful" in the studio. "Watch @itstonybennett and me singing 'But Beautiful' in the studio!" the 28-year-old Gaga tweeted with the music video. You can watch the video above.
Their new album titled Cheek to Cheek has gone straight to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 131,000 copies sold in the week ending Sept. 28, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
The new jazz album released on September 23rd from Streamline/Interscope/RPM/Columbia Records, also hit No. 1 on both the Jazz Albums and Traditional Jazz Albums charts.
Bennett, 88, is the oldest living act to earn a No. 1 album, beating a record he set himself back in 2011.
Lady Gaga had been quietly recording in New York city earlier this year and it might have been what her fans expect. She pop singer has actually been working on a jazz standards album with one of her musical heros, Tony Bennett.
They announced the album Tuesday, July 29th on the "TODAY" show at 30 Rockefeller Center. "The collaboration has been so wonderful. It's so natural singing with Tony," Gaga said. "I just learn so much from him every day. I'm so happy."
Bennett, 87, gushed about Gaga. "She sings so wonderful and she's actually really a great jazz singer," Bennett said. "She improvises every time we do a song. We do it over and over and it's different every time."
"Since I was 13, I've been singing jazz and I sang "Orange Colored Sky" in this event that we did together to raise money for the impoverished people of New York City," Gaga said of the song made popular by Nat King Cole. "He heard me sing the song and he said 'I love it. You singing jazz. You want to do an album together?' And I said, 'Of course!' "
This isn't the first time Bennett has worked with a younger pop singer, he was working with Amy Winehouse when she tragically passed away. Lady Gaga isn't known for jazz music by many, but she grew up singing jazz classics before she came to international pop stardom.
