Lady Gaga's new single 'chart ineligible' in the UK

Lady Gaga's new single has been deemed chart ineligible in the UK.

The singer dropped plans to unleash the track 'Venus' as the second single from upcoming record 'ARTPOP' after a positive reaction to her R. Kelly duet 'Do What U Want', which was unveiled recently.

The Official Charts Company, however, have clarified that the song isn't eligible for the UK singles chart yet as Gaga has used up her quota of 'instant grat' album promotion songs. They said:

"Lady Gaga’s 'Do What U Want' (featuring R Kelly) will become chart eligible once the related album pre-order promotion ends. Official Chart rules, as agreed in committee with the British music industry, allow one ‘instant grat’ promotion per album, i.e a single track download given away as an album pre-order incentive.

"'Do What U Want; is the second track to be delivered to fans who pre-order 'ARTPOP', the track will become eligible to chart once the current chosen promotional period ends and the full album is released on 11 November."

Gaga meanwhile has vowed to unleash a new song in every different "territory" she visits in the build up to the release of 'ARTPOP'.

She is set to visit Britain soon to perform live on the X Factor on Sunday (October 27).
