That’s so funny I noticed it’s mostly the female artists that are not on their covers which is also very sad. I searched Gaga and Kylie Minogue

Yes exactly, so funny even if the artist is fully covered like for example Billie Eilish?!?!... they tend to photoshop her out... so weird!

This looks cool tho... But the font not in the middle... ??

This one cracks me up:

Dua Lipa:

Imagine your job is "adapting" all the original covers for that country.

I mean, if they changed the font on "Madonna", it would be really good for a promotional EP or something 

[heikeeduardo 925]

Are there any physical releases of these with the different covers?

[Holger 1,191]

I remember this one from back in the day. It really is a sad situation for women especially.

When you see a covered woman that means it’s from Saudi Arabia I believe... it’s less than removing the entire artist... ??

I can sell you some if you want (but first let me get hold of my black marker)

These are so ridiculous that I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry. I mean you constantly read complaints about censorship in the West, but then you see things like this where females are literally removed from their own album/single cover art in the Middle East.

I don't even get the logic behind some of these changes: if certain female pop artists are doing something risque on their covers, then I can sorta understand editing the covers to some extent, but removing them entirely just for being there? That's beyond ludicrous.

Yes it's Arabia, I should have stated it.
