Melbourne,
(ANI):
Radio
jock
Kyle
Sandilands,
one
of
the
judges
on
Aussie
version
of
The
X
Factor,
has
claimed
that
he
is
solely
responsible
for
launching
the
career
of
international
pop
star,
Lady
Gaga.
"I
was
the
first
person
to
hit
play
on
a
CD
of
a
Lady
Gaga
song
(on
radio)
anywhere
in
the
world," News.com.au
quoted
him
as
telling
The
Courier-Mail.
"It
took
off
here
(Australia)
and
then
New
Zealand,
bled
through
Asia,
into
Europe
and
I
think
we
were
on
our
third
or
fourth
single
before
America
even
rebut
her
first
song
and
put
a
rap
in
it
and
said,
'We'll
give
it
a
go'."
Sandilands
said
he
first
heard
Lady
Gaga's
hit
album
The
Fame
in
a
'record
guy's
car'
while
in
America.
"I
was
like
'who's
this?'
and
he
said,
'Some
Lady
Gaga,
Radio
Gaga
or
something',
and
I
was
like,
'Every
single
song
on
this
is
like
a
hit
song';
he
was
like,
'That's
what
I
think
but
radio's
just
not
interested,
it
hasn't
taken
off," he
said.
“Her
album
was
out
for
like
six
months.
No
one
in
America
was
playing
it.
Australians
were
the
first
people
to
really
break
her.
I
was
the
first
person
to
play
her,"
he
added.
