Finally, you can legally purchase a copy of a Lady Gaga album in
China—although it might be a
little different than a copy you'd
get in the States. Chinese officials blacklisted Gaga's work in 2011,
because it "damag[ed] the nation's cultural security," but they've now
removed Gaga from
the blacklist,
CNN reports. That means
ARTPOP
can be legally sold in the country, but Chinese censors covered up the
racy cover so that less of Gaga's naked body can be seen, and changed
the title of the song "Sexxx Dreams" to "X Dreams." (Also included in
the 2011 ban: Katy Perry's "Last Friday Night" and the Backstreet Boys'
"I Want It That Way.")
