More on our theme of disappearing hits in the streaming era: in the wake of the new R.
Kelly documentary/accusations, Billboard has a look into how Lady Gaga has pulled the
hit version of "Do What U Want" from digital download and streaming services.
Separately, Billboard's reporting that song downloads spiked in the day after the show
premiered, just before it was removed.

Nothing is ever truly gone, Artpop was far from her best work and the Christina Aguilera version is still available. Remember when Taylor Swift refused to let her hits be played on Spotify? Artists who write their music can control their music...

Artists who own their masters, also can control their
music. As they have say so over distribution and releases.

On a side note, anyone know where the Clean version of the Christina Aguilera version is? I can only seem to find the explicit.
