Lady Gaga's new single, 'Applause', has been released ahead of its August 19 due date after the song was leaked online.<br /><br />The single was released to YouTube and iTunes after low- and high- resolution versions of the song circulated on the Internet. Lady Gaga took to Twitter to call on fans to report links to the illegally-distributed single, which is the pop artist's newest work since 2011.<br /><br />Lady Gaga declared a 'pop music emergency' and in an unusual move, fans responded by submitting links to Universal Music Group, the label behind the album. <br /><br />--------------------------------------------------------<br /><br />TomoNews is your daily source for top animated news.
