BiggaBreakfast | Urban Top3 ۶♫♫♪♫



The songs below represent our 3 most popular songs for this week

  



China Bans Beyonce and Kanye West

Beyoncé's track is one of a hundred on a new list of banned songs released by the Chinese Ministry of Culture on Friday.

Beyoncé's Run the World, VMAs, Best Choreography, winner, has been banned in China.

Beyoncé wasn't the only VMA winner to have a song banned; Katy Perry had E.T banned, her collaboration with Kanye West which won Best Collaboration and Best Special Effects. Perry's Last Friday Night was also banned.



China has been regulating music on the internet and beyond for the past couple of years. With the communist government involved in everything that the citizens do, it’s only the next step in the process for the Ministry of Culture department to be involved with what goes on musically with their people.

The Chinese Ministry says that these bans are not related to content, but instead reflect a clamp down on internet music providers who are providing access to songs not submitted to the government for review or censorship. In a statement the Ministry said: "Our targets this time are online music products that we have not registered or reviewed. They don't necessarily contain illegal content."



Weibo, a Chinese alternative to Twitter (as Twitter is banned in China), has been in a flurry over the bans. One user, KeyboardChan, summed things up nicely "The most ridiculous pick has got to be Backstreet Boy's 'I Want It That Way' from 1999. I have been singing it at karaoke for 12 years - have I been a cultural terrorist for that long?"

Kelly Rowland & Beyonce United at X Factor Judges House

Former Destiny's Child divas are working together again, this time Beyonce will help Kelly Rowland select the contestants on the X Factor

Beyonce"Motivation" singer Kelly Rowland will have Beyonce join her in the judges house in order to sift through talented musicians and identify the best candidates for the next stage of the television show.

In regards to fellow judges on the X Factor UK including, Gary Barlow, Louis Walsh, and Tulisa Contostavlos, it is unknown whom will assist them in their decisions at the judges house.

After Destiny's Child bandmate Beyoncé revealed she and husband Jay-Z. are expecting their first child at the MTV VMA awards show, Kelly Rowland, commented, she was destined to have a child, and she'll be wonderful at it.

"I have known for quite a while, and she's happy, and Jay is happy, and that's all that counts," Rowland, 30, told PEOPLE Sunday at the House of Hype VMAs afterparty.

"I think she'll be an incredible mother, because she's always been motherly. I think that she takes after so many traits from her mother. And I just think it's going to be so natural for her. Its natural for her now!"


Now Kelly is enjoying her biggest success as a solo artist with the hit single “Motivation,” which she showed off with a provocative VIBE cover shoot and performance at this year’s BET Awards, and continues to float above the swirl of rumors that have dogged her since the early days of Destiny’s Child.

*No, Mathew Knowles is not her father.
*No, she’s not jealous of Beyoncé.
*So stop asking. :)
