China's Ministry of Culture has ordered music download sites to delete songs by Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, the Backstreet Boys and other pop stars within two weeks or face punishment.

The ministry posted a list of 100 songs - including Lady Gaga's Judas and Perry's Last Friday Night - that had to be purged from the Chinese web because they had never been submitted for mandatory government screening.

Six Lady Gaga songs in all were on the list, all from her latest album. The 12-year-old ballad I Want It That Way by the Backstreet Boys was also targeted.

Dozens of Hong Kong and Taiwanese pop songs and a few Western hits were listed as well.

The ministry said the rule was meant to preserve China's "national cultural security".

Sites were told in the August 19 announcement posted to the ministry's website that they had until September 15 to carry out "self-correction" and delete the songs.
