In 2022, music made the complicated world quiet and charming. What good songs impressed you this year and accompanied you through unforgettable spring, summer, autumn and winter? On December 23rd, Huawei Music officially announced the 2022 annual list, with Chinese pop kings Jay Chou, Eason Chan and Taylor Swift, the popular diva in Europe and America, leading the list, and even more new generation singers such as Mao Bu, Charlie and Gao Wu were selected. The list is counted according to different dimensions, such as new songs, hot songs and special columns, and it also objectively reflects the music pop trend and the changes in the public’s preference for listening to songs in the past year.
This year’s list, Jay Chou may be the biggest winner. Compendium of Materia Medica, a popular fitness trend, was selected as the hot song of the year, and the new album "The Greatest Work" released after six years won two awards: the new song of the year and the digital album of the year. There is no doubt that the highly-sung Lonely Brave topped the annual list of Chinese hot songs, and Cyndi Wang even set off a "memory killing" with a song "Love You", which evoked a beautiful post-80s memories of youth. Taylor Swift’s popularity is still hot, and the new album "Midnights" has become an annual special. This year is also the year of the rise of the women’s group. Korean popular groups such as IVE’s "LOVE DIVE" and TWICE’s "Talk that Talk" broke into the hot songs list in Japan, South Korea and Europe, and there were countless groups of Z generation after 1995.
Different from the traditional list, Huawei Music 2022 also added the annual hit list of Hi-Classic, HiMix and Hi-Res, which brought more diversified music aesthetics to users. Powerful singers such as Jacky Cheung, Karen Mok and Terry Lin, as well as classic tracks of classical artists such as Ivan Koslovsky were shortlisted.
Hi-Classic is a classical music area launched by Huawei Music. Through massive content resources and authoritative expert recommendation, it brings the best way to open classical music to fans. HiMix song list is selected and recommended by professional music editors, covering travel, fitness, sleep assistance and other scenes. Hi-Res Zone has a high-resolution streaming music library with the highest quality of 192kHz/24bit, providing top music content in classical, jazz, pop and other styles, and there is also a monthly Hi-Res magazine which is recommended and compiled by Sony’s selected editor personally, bringing high-quality music feast to audiences of different ages in China.
Another highlight of this year’s list is space audio. In September this year, Huawei Music officially launched the spatial audio zone, and launched the spatial audio versions of popular tracks by star musicians such as Tanya Chua, Mao Bu, Xu Wei, Charlie, Qi Shu and Ju Zi Hai, which were well received by fans. The TOP3 tracks listed this time are Bright, A Lonely Valley and Summer Cozy Rock. If you listen to the stereo version of these songs first, and then listen to the spatial audio version, you will obviously feel that the music has a stronger sense of space and package, and get an immersive listening experience.
As can be seen from this list, users’ pursuit of music quality and service is becoming more and more pure and extreme. Not only do we hope that the content of listening will be clearer and more delicate, but also we can restore the real sense of hearing in the real world. At the end of the year, Huawei Music also launched a limited-time benefit. You can open a music VIP for 1 cent in the first month by opening the "1-point purchase" of Huawei Music Search, and listen to tens of millions of popular songs by head artists such as Jay Chou, JJ Lin and Taylor Swift!
The philosopher Martin Luther once said, "Music is the source of Wonder’s embryo. People who are not moved by music, I will definitely compare him to wood and stone. " Good music will not only touch your heartstrings, but also take you out of the trough and see the hope of tomorrow. In the complicated society, people need a lonely spiritual space, and music gives everyone a broad, free and self-spiritual space. Accompanied by Huawei Music, we will bid farewell to the busyness of 2022, rearrange our mood and greet the coming of 2023 with a smile!
