China's communist rulers have banned Lady Gaga, Katy Perry and the Backstreet Boys' from their radio playlists ‘to preserve national security’. The Ministry of Culture has announced Chinese music download sites must delete songs by the artists within two weeks or face the consequences. Officials have posted a list of 100 forbidden songs - including Lady Gaga's 'Judas' and Perry's 'Last Friday Night' - because they have not met the approval of the party leadership.
　 為進一步規范網絡音樂市場秩序，嚴厲打擊非法網絡音樂產品及其違法經營活動，中國文化部決定進一步清理違規網絡音樂產品，并于日前公布了“第三批未經內容審查或備案的網絡音樂產品名單”。在這批名單中不乏諸多“大牌”的身影，其中包括了林宥嘉、碧昂絲、方大同、梁文音、張惠妹等歌手，最讓外媒“大福渲染”的違禁歌手名單是如今如日中天的--嘎嘎小姐以及我們很熟悉的后街男孩樂隊，此次涉嫌曲目多達100首，嘎嘎小姐的Juda名在其中。

　 And websites have been warned that failure to remove the songs will be punished, although they have not outlined the penalties. Lady Gaga was the most banned of all the acts with six of her songs on the list, all of which are from her latest album. The 12-year-old ballad 'I Want It That Way' by the Backstreet Boys was also deemed contrary to the best interests of the People's Republic.The authoritarian Chinese government carefully screens the content of all imported entertainment content for political messages or commentary that runs contrary to its official line.

　 據悉，針對這些違規音樂文化部規定各相關網站應該在9月15之前徹查網站內部是否有這些音樂，如果有需要在15日前進行刪除，否則完整將受到違規音樂的處罰。歌曲辦理手續需要提供歌詞，如果是國外的需要提供翻譯歌詞，填寫相應的表格申請審核。 目前互聯網上面依然可以收聽到這些違規網絡音樂，各相關網站工作者應該及時的進行處理以免影響網站的運營。在這些歌手中，嘎嘎小姐的最新專輯《I want it that way》違規曲目最多，因該歌詞與和諧穩定的基調不符被禁。
