And the album "Pop Art" leads U.S. sales last November which it sold 258 thousand copies in the first week of it.
And songs of pop singer put her in blacklist in China since 2011, after the Chinese Ministry of Culture considered her work leads to "create confusion in the order of the online music market, and damage to cultural security in the country."

On the other side, “Lady Gaga" responded enthusiastically to lift the ban through a tweet on the social networking site "Twitter" last week, in which she wrote, " China has allowed to move ahead of the singer .. I'm very excited! Approved by the Chinese government on the album" Art Pop "which will be available in China full of the 15 songs. As the next step, I hope I can go and perform. "
