2020

China's 2020 streaming landscape was defined by QQ Music, NetEase Cloud Music, and viral short-video platform Douyin. COVID-19 lockdowns fueled massive online music consumption. Jay Chou's 'Mojito' became the summer anthem, while newer voices like Fu Ruqiao and Xue Zhiqian dominated platform charts with emotionally resonant pop. Nostalgic ballads from idol shows also trended heavily.
