Three years after her music was blacklisted in China, Lady Gaga's ARTPOP album is set to be released there.
In 2011, China's Ministry of Culture officials branded Gaga's songs vulgar, and placed most of her music on a pop blacklist, alongside other anti-establishment rebels such as the Backstreet Boys and Katy Perry.
On Monday though, Gaga took to twitter to confirm that her third album will be made available to her Chinese fans.
I'm so excited!!!! The Chinese Government Approved ARTPOP to be released in China with all 15 songs! Next I hope I can come to perform!

The album has encountered problems since its release in November of last year, with the singer claiming she was "betrayed" and "mismanaged" over the project. Nonetheless, the album reached number 1 in the UK and US.
Gaga is set to embark on her artRave: The Artpop Ball Tour in May.
