Lady Gaga 'Artpop' stream: following leak, new album 2013 available on iTunes Radio before Nov. 11 release date [LISTEN]

Lady Gaga has plugged that Artpop leak. Following the premature, illegal availability of her third studio album, a stream of Artpop debuted yesterday (Nov. 4) on iTunes Radio, one week ahead of the record's official release date on Nov. 11.

The Artpop stream announcement was made with little fanfare on Lady Gaga's Twitter. In what was likely an automated tweet, the pop star's account simply stated: "US fans can listen to ARTPOP now on #iTunesRadio!" alongside a link to the official stream.

The high-quality and easily available stream may help to ward off some of the illegal Artpop downloads. As Mstars News reported yesterday, HasItLeaked.com reported that Artpop appeared over the weekend online, available with easy on Tumblr, torrents and various music blogs.

Even before the full album leak, songs like "Swine" and "Mary Jane Holland" leaked.

As established by Artpop teaser singles "Do What U Want," "Venus" and "Dope," as well as lead single "Applause," Gaga's third album is her most realized release to date. Blending together traditional dance pop with innovative, oddball arrangement and instrumentation, Artpop wraps and drags the listener into Gaga's manic, avant garde world of art, dance, sex and pop.

Artpop is Lady Gaga's third studio album and the follow-up to her 2011 album Born This Way. Lead by singles "Applause" and "Do What U Want" (feat. R. Kelly), the record will officially debut on Monday, Nov. 11.
