The unpredicted boost started as a petition for the pop icon to release more songs from the LP circulated on the internet.
The petition to #buyARTPOPoniTunes for a volume II has inspired such a tremendous warmth in my heart. Making this album was like heart surgery, I was desperate, in pain, and poured my heart into electronic music that slammed harder than any drug I could find.

I fell apart after I released this album. Thank you for celebrating something that once felt like destruction. We always believed it was ahead of its time. Years later turns out, sometimes, artists know. And so do little monsters. Paws up 🙌❤️❤️❤️

here's some of the fans reaction:
ARTPOP literally went #1 on iTunes in 6 countries in 2021. And is sitting inside the US top 10 and France top 20 as I speak. We're legendary, just like that album. #buyARTPOPoniTunes pic.twitter.com/BoIGPtDSY8

To be completely honest, I just want Gaga to feel the love we have for her least appreciated album, our love for her and I'd like her to address ARTPOP again, to notice it again. That's all I'm asking #buyARTPOPoniTunes
