Lady Gaga has scored a No.1 single on iTunes charts in America with 'Do What U Want', which has shot to the top of the download charts. Thanks, no doubt, to having R.Kelly on the track and her bum on the cover.
The star surprised no-one when she revealed the single artwork on Saturday, 19 September and it was nothing more than a massive photo of her arse (in a thong). She premiered the track online today (21 October) and in the hours since, it has shot to No.1 in the United States and Canada - knocking Lorde's 'Royals' track from the top spot.
The track is the most promising song that we've heard from ARTPOP so far, with an infectious danceable beat, Kelly's trademark quickfire seductive vocals and Gaga at her most vivacious. It's better than 'Applause' at least, which was rubbish.
The single artwork, featuring Lady Gaga's arse, also caused controversy over the weekend, but reflects to titilating raunchiness of the chorus: "Do you want, what you want with my body."
The track is yet to be released in the UK, where Gaga is expected to release new track 'Venus' as her next single, after performing on next weekend's X Factor.

Last week, she hyped up the album even more by saying:
I was trying to think of something more ridiculous than Millennium..ALBUM OF INFINTE!
'Do What U Want' is out now, and taken from ARTPOP which is out on 11 November, 2013.
