China has banned websites from featuring 100 songs by artists from Lady Gaga to the Backstreet Boys, a statement on the culture ministry’s website said.

The ministry said it aimed to regulate the “order” of the Internet music market, adding songs that “harm the security of state culture must be cleaned up and regulated under the law”.

The notice, issued on August 19 and posted on the ministry’s website, included American singer Lady Gaga’s “The Edge of Glory”, “Hair”, “Marry the Night” and “Bloody Mary”.
