This afternoon I was listening to a Taiwanese streaming radio station and a favourite classic song by Taiwanese singer, A-Mei 張惠妹, was played which I haven’t heard for ages. A-Mei’s first two albums released were two of the biggest selling albums of the 1990s and many of her songs became classics in the second half of the 90s as well. So I have chosen 3 of the ballads from her to reminisce including the song that I heard today 原來你什麼都不要…

Most Popular Mandopop Music Videos (Part 1) YouTube 破億華語歌曲（一）
I can’t believe January 2020 is almost over, where has the time gone so quickly? I was going to do a post on most popular Chinese movie songs of the last decade since The Oscars is just around the corner, but as usual I got sidetracked while trying to compile a list, LOL. While doing some research, I came across a list of the Chinese songs that are the most watched music videos on YouTube. The list was for the Chinese songs that first hit 100 million views in the last ten years. So I thought, why not, and immediately abandoned my initial intention of just listing movie songs! This list is arranged by the first 20 Mandopop songs to achieve 100 million hits by timeline (that is when they first attended 100 million views), so they are not the on-going list of the current most watched music videos which will continue to change day by day.
