Katy Perry and Lady Gaga are among several pop stars who have had their music banned in China.
Several tracks, such as Perry's Last Friday Night and the Backstreet Boys' I Want It That Way, have been deemed to contain 'vulgar content' by the Chinese government, and must be removed from sale - and from websites - by 15 September.
At the moment, it is not clear how many tracks will be banned, but Lady Gaga has been hit particularly hard, with six songs on the 'blacklist' - The Edge Of Glory, Hair, Marry The Night, Americano, Judas and Bloody Mary. There are also a number of tracks by artists from Taiwan and Hong Kong on the list, too.

Chinese government. During a recent tour, Bob Dylan apparently had
his entire set list picked out by officials before he was allowed
to perform.
