The 2024 8th "Favorite Hits" Music Ceremony planned by love radio103.7, a classic hit radio station under Shanghai Broadcasting Corporation, will be held on the evening of September 23 at the Shanghai Mercedes-Benz Cultural Center. With the creative concept of "Golden Songs of Love, Let's Go on the Journey of Youth Together", this festival will bring together many heavyweights in the Chinese music scene, including Priscilla Chan, Gao Linsheng, Jiang Yuheng, Li Lifen, Lin Zhiying, Qian Baihui, Qingchen Dapan, Tao Jingying, Wang Wanzhi , 5566 Group, Yongbang and Yu Chaoying, etc.
Classic songs have always been the highlight of the "Favorite Hits List", and this year is no exception.
In 1989, singer Priscilla Chan's song "Thousands of Ques" became the inspiration for countless people to sing Cantonese songs. It also single-handedly changed the aesthetics of the Hong Kong music scene in the 1980s and 1990s, leading the trend of the times with modern urban style. Another song that plays a decisive role in her 40-year career as a singer is none other than "Dance Street". This song won the 1986 Golden Song Most Popular Disco Song Award, and helped her rise from a newcomer to the music scene to a first-line female singer. On the stage of this year's ceremony, she will present three pieces: "Falling Snow", "Dancing Street" and "Thousands of Ques", looking back on the 40-year glorious history of the Hong Kong Philharmonic.
1994 was an important year for the development of Chinese pop music. This year, singers and hits came out in an explosive manner, and the "94 New Generation", a phenomenon-level group in the Chinese music scene, emerged. As one of the representative singers, Gao Linsheng officially entered the entertainment industry with his first solo album "I'm the One Who Cares About You" and attracted much attention for his song of the same name. This year coincides with the 30th anniversary of the "94 New Generation", and Gao Linsheng will sing this classic song again.
Speaking of the golden age of Chinese pop music, Li Lifen's name will undoubtedly pop up in the minds of many music fans. She was one of the "three vocalists" on the Rolling Stones' first album, "Three Person Show." After signing with the Rolling Stones, she released multiple solo albums, showing her unique music style. The three songs included in the repertoire of this ceremony, "Small Smile", "Love Country More Love Beauty" and "Can't Put It Down", are works from that period.
Among the performers, those who grew up watching Taiwanese idol dramas may be familiar with the Taiwanese idol group "5566". 5566, composed of Sun Xiezhi, Wang Renfu, Xu Mengzhe, etc., became popular during the hottest period of Taiwanese idol dramas. The popular "Taiwan Puppet" theme songs, ending songs, and interludes are almost all arranged by "5566". This year, they made a comeback as a group and presented three tracks: "Existence", "It Doesn't Matter" and "I'm Sad".
It is worth mentioning that actor and singer Jimmy Lin will also appear on this year's "Favorite Hits List". This will be his first live performance in Shanghai since his car accident in 2022. The three songs "Seventeen-year-old Rainy Season", "Happiness Supreme" and "Wild Chrysanthemum" will lead the audience to travel through time and enter the youthful memories of a generation.
As a derivative activity of Shanghai People's Broadcasting Station's "Favorite Golden Songs List", the "K Song Competition" was officially launched in May this year. This competition innovates on the original basis and adds the Yangtze River Delta competition area for the first time, targeting Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui provinces and one city, further promoting the exchange and integration of music culture in the Yangtze River Delta region, and the total number of registrations has increased by nearly 50% compared to previous years. On the night of the grand ceremony, the top 10 contestants of the competition will take the stage on behalf of many music lovers with music dreams.
This festival will also make full use of emerging technologies such as AI to bring an immersive experience to the audience. From now on, the festival will collect the audience's "most wanted words" for "Favorite Hits", love radio or the host. Using AI technology, these messages will be synthesized into a new song, which will be broadcast on the night of the ceremony.
