Lady Gaga‘s beloved fan base – affectionately called #LittleMonsters –  are using their collective paws to scare off the competition and send sales of the diva’s 2013 ‘ARTPOP’ album back to the top of charts.

Over 7 years after Gaga’s third studio album, ‘ARTPOP,’ soared to #1 on the Billboard 200, the experimental/critically polarizing project could get be getting another chance to repeat the win thanks to the Twitter trending top #BuyArtPoponiTunes – which has amassed over 80,000 mentions (as of time reported).

On the general iTunes tally (all genres considered), it sits in the top 5.

The hoopla comes not long after DJ White Shadow – a main contributor to the set – made headlines for taking to Instagram to reflect on how ‘difficult’ it was to create the project.  Later in the lengthy post, he saluted #LittleMonsters by sharing how he’s grateful for the “incredibly loving and rabid fans” – even stating he’s “amazed” at how much they care “about that era and some songs that you have never heard.”

His comments came in response to fan demand to unveil the project’s unreleased material.  That petition, which can be seen here, now sits with over 35,000 signatures.

Keep it locked to That Grape Juice to see if the uptick in activity helps hoist the ‘Applause’-led LP back up the Billboard 200 next week.
