Lady Gaga Loses 156 Million YouTube Views on Official Account

Lady Gaga has joined the list of musicians to lose millions of video views on YouTube. Her official account lost some 156 million views, NME reports.

According to a YouTube spokesperson, VEVO reduced the play counts on many major artist's videos by up to 2 million views in December 2012 due to artificially inflation of view counts. Gaga's account survived that initial sweep.

Though many millions of views were removed last month, Gaga's videos have been found to be artificially boosted by hackers as well.
