Lady Gaga’s latest album, “Chromatica,” has topped this week’s Billboard album chart — the latest laurel in a long career comeback, and an affirmation of Lady Gaga’s superstar status amid the pandemic. “Chromatica” has become Lady Gaga’s sixth No. 1 album, with the equivalent of 274,000 sales in the United States, according to data from Nielsen Music. That is the biggest opening-week number for a female artist so far this year. (Releases by the Weeknd, Eminem and the K-pop group BTS all sold more in their first weeks out.)
