Born This Way – Lady Gaga

We all know and love her. Lady Gaga released her third full length album, Born This Way, on May 23, 2011. This 14-track album is just over an hour long and has hits like “Born This Way” and “Edge of Glory.” Even though this album is turning 10, it seems like it was released yesterday.
