To announce the tracklisting of her upcoming album, "ARTPOP," Lady GaGa commissioned a group of dedicated Los Angeles fans to create a mural that unveils the song titles for all to see on Twitter, MTV News reports.
Working together, nine "Little Monster" fans covered a blank brick wall with the painted titles of tracks from GaGa's highly anticipated third studio album, set to be released Nov. 8. The original announcement of the tracklisting was delayed as GaGa had difficulty deciding between two songs for track number 12.
The group of dedicated fans who created call themselves the LA Rivington Rebels, chosen specially by Lady GaGa to commemorate each song title in the mural.
"They've been sleeping outside of the Record Plant [my studio] for a month!" Gaga said to MTV News of the Rebels. "Sleeping bags, booze & all."
The first title revealed, "Aura," was painted in black, Lady GaGa having previously released a star-studded lyric video for the new single last night. "Aura" was followed by "Venus," "G.U.Y.," "Sexxx Dreams," a T.I., Too $hort and Twista rap collaboration, "Jewels N' Drugs," "MANiCURE" and "Do What U Want" featuring R. Kelly, a collab which surprised many fans.

Next came "Swine," "Donatella," "Fashion!," "Mary Jane Holland," "Dope", "Gypsy" and the album's first hit single, "Applause." The fans uploaded all of the photos for everyone to see and posted them on Twitter. Although GaGa previewed many of the new tracks for her fans at an iTunes festival last month, many of them have never been previously announced, making the mural reveal all the more exciting for her Little Monsters.

Songs that were scrapped from the album include "Red Flame," "Ratchet" and "Princess Die," though Lady GaGa plans on releasing additional tracks through a smartphone app called TechHaus.
Most recently, GaGa also revealed the cover of her new album, featuring a nude sculpture of the star created by artist Jeff Koons surrounded by pieces of art including a "Venus" painting by Sandro Botticelli, whose work inspired her image during her current musical era.
