2010 was gaga for Gaga: the provocative Alejandro video, the meat dress, the duet with Beyonce. The Fame Monster was promoted, attracted attention, and belted out hit after hit this year. And record sales definitely felt the benefit (that and all of our stereos and iPods benefited too!).

Ironically, this album is actually her debut album re-released, depicting the dark side of fame she experienced when she released her debut album (The Fame).
