Lady Gaga Loses Millions Of YouTube Views

"Say, what?"

Lady Gagas monstrous number of YouTube views have been significantly reduced -- we are talking millions, specifically 156 millions views -- when the site decided to clear out old videos in an auditing move.

According to Digital Spy, this cleaning-up process is done not only on Lady Gagas account but also on other artistes after some of their videos had been redistributed to their VEVO pages.

A YouTube spokesperson clarified to Billboard: This was not a bug or a security breach. This was an enforcement of our view count policy.

Besides the Born This Way hitmaker, Beyonce, Chris Brown and Leona Lewis are also amongst those who have been affected by YouTubes auditing act.
