abra 40,910 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Barely a day goes by without a thread about K-pop MV views on Youtube but you rarely if ever see any about Cantopop or Mandopop, so I decided to look for videos from artists based in China, Taiwan, Hong Kong etc. Note that these numbers are all from Youtube and that site is nominally inaccessible from China (even if there are ways to get past that). Overall: Hu Xia - Those Bygone Years - 68.5 million views Mayday - Won't Let You Be Lonely - 52.4 million Wanting - You Exist In My Song - 48.3 million Jay Chou - Rhythm Of The Rain - 48.1 million Della - Heart of Palms (Prince of Lan Ling OST) - 44.7 million Ann - What Brings Me To You - 40.5 million Magic Power - I Still Love You - 39.9 million Jay Chou - What Kind Of Man - 34.1 million Kimberley Chen - Love You - 34 million Jay Chou - Ming Ming Yiu - 33.1 million Hebe Tien - A Little Happiness (Our Times OST) - 31.4 million Hebe Tien - You Better Not Think About Me - 28.8 million Hebe Tien - Leave Me Alone - 28.3 million Hebe Tien - Still In Happiness - 27.4 million Chopstick Brothers - Little Apple - 26.2 million JiaJia - Destiny (Prince of Lan Ling OST) - 25.5 million Grady - Miss You Tonight - 25.2 million Li Ronghao - King of Comedy - 24.7 million Male artists: Hu Xia - Those Bygone Years - 68.5 million Mayday - Won't Let You Be Lonely - 52.4 million Jay Chou - What Kind Of Man - 34.1 million Jay Chou - Ming Ming Yiu - 33.1 million Chopstick Brothers - Little Apple - 26.2 million Grady - Miss You Tonight - 25.2 million Li Ronghao - King of Comedy - 24.7 million Mayday - Cheers - 21.2 million Mayday - Into The Array (Prince of Lan Ling OST) - 19.5 million Magic Power - Secretly - 19.5 million Magic Power - Marksman - 19.5 million Mayday - Starry Sky (Starry Starry Night OST) - 19.5 million Other notable videos: Yoga Lin - Fool - 14.9 million Show Lo - Anonymous Sadness - 11.3 million Eason Chan - 陀飛輪 - 9.5 million Female artists: Wanting - You Exist In My Song - 48.3 million Queen Wei - Rhythm Of The Rain (by Jay Chou) - 48.1 million Della - Heart of Palms (Prince of Lan Ling OST) - 44.7 million Ann - What Brings Me To You - 40.5 million Kimberley Chen - Love You - 34 million A-Lin - Give Me A Reason To Forget You - 33.7 million Hebe Tien - A Little Happiness (Our Times OST) - 31.4 million Hebe Tien - You Better Not Think About Me - 28.8 million Hebe Tien - Leave Me Alone - 28.3 million Hebe Tien - Still In Happiness - 27.4 million JiaJia - Destiny (Prince of Lan Ling OST) - 25.5 million Hebe Tien - Forever Love - 19.9 million Jia Jia - Fill In The Blanks - 19.7 million Other notable videos: Jolin Tsai - Play - 15.7 million Hebe Tien - Angel Devil - 18.0 million Teresa Teng - I Only Care About You (performance) - 9.8 million* By2 - You Don't Know Me - 12.7 million G.E.M. - Bubble - 18.1 million G.E.M. - Performance compilation - 17.9 million Eason Chan & Faye Wong - Because Of Love - 10.3 million A Mei - Jump In - 4.9 million Faye Wong - Need No Regrets - 2.1 million* Former Korean idols: Luhan - That Good Good - 4.2 millionZhang Bichen (SunnyDays) - She says (by JJ Lin) (live performance) - 3.6 million Kris Wu - Time Boils The Rain (audio) - 0.7 million* Z.Tao - Crown - 0.6 million* * Unofficial video The video views are approximate. I'm sure that I've missed quite a few videos, so if you know of any please mention them here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buttercell 260 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Is those years by Hu Xia considered? I remember it was the most viewed mandopop video on youtube. Checked and it has 68,503,498 views. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Checked and it has 68,503,498 views. Yes~ I'll add it if you can link it! I only saw one w/ 1.9 million views. The only ones I don't really count are EXO's Mandarin songs (since over half the group is Korean) and other Chinese singers part of foreign groups (Fei, Amber etc). Edit: I found it when searching for the Chinese title Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antifragile 390 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Great work! ^O^ I'm confused, though: is it this year releases or just overall list of evrth? Also is it correct to assume all of these videos except the ones you marked are on official channels? And allow me a very dumb question bc it always boggled me: if yt is blocked in China, how come mainland artists have official channels? ^^; Is it even legal, if the portal is supposed to be blocked? ^^; What am I missing?

It's from any year. Most of them are older but a few are from 2015 ("A Little Happiness" and "That Good Good" for instance). Every video without an asterix is supposed to be from an official channel but there are some where I'm not 100% certain (like the Hu Xia video). As for whether it's legal or not I can't say... It's probably allowed for official use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hemlock 1,537 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 a few more: – 22.8 million – 29.5 millionFish Leong - æƒ…æŒ â€“ 21 million Fish Leong - 會呼å¸çš„ç—› – 18.8 million Also that 48 million Rhythm of the Rain song is Queen Wei's (é如昀) version of the song. Jay's version has much less views. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
everypart 11,409 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 I don't think it's fair to count unofficial versions especially considering that because they're unofficial, they usually get taken down. The most watched upload of the MV for Kris' There is A Place is gone now for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hess 3,578 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Love so many of these songs! Great idea, love the list! I remember talking with someone before and they were surprised how many views cpop songs have on youtube. JJ has some big videos too. å¯æƒœæ²’如果 If Only- 27 mil 修煉愛情 Practice Love- 24 mil å¸ä¸æœƒ Never Learn - 17 mil 她說 She Says - 14 mil å› ä½ è€Œåœ¨ You N Me- 11 mil 黑暗騎士 The Dark Knight- 11 mil 愛笑的眼ç›- 10 mil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemlock 1,537 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 There's not going to be official channels/videos for most (if not all) mainland artists. You kinda have to count unofficial ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MangoKiwi 116 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Haha, 那些年is scarily legendary... considering it's actually not that old of a song. Also, Eric Zhou 以後別åšæœ‹å‹ — 34M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lulu3937 194 Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 那些年is just a legendary song. I felt like the song itself exceeded the fame of the movie. (Or I'm just biased since I didn't really like the movie) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melovestage 2,568 Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Hmmmm if I am not wrong, Pets Tseng has a song or two passing the 10 million mark or something. Anyways, it's really nice to see so many songs breaking 10 million or more mark considering that cpop isn't like kpop where by mv views are included to music show wins which means that fans don't really spam watch music videos to boost points etc. which sort of show how good the music is or how appealing is the music to the public. No doubt songs like å°å¹¸è¿ and 那些年 are actually due to the effect of the movie, nonetheless, it's a nice achievement to see in cpop [emoji4] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

llamaswag 8,571 Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 A-Lin 33,876,204 A-Lin full album audio from a random fanaccount has 17,222,202 views more than any popular Kpop album views, and it's a 2 years old album. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_B5PqpQuVtg Harlem Yu 36,465,968 Taiwanese singers would have much more views if they have official YT account before imo. Like Jay Chou, Wang Lee Hom old songs would gain so many views if it was official. More Taiwanese artists only started to have their own individual youtube account for the past 3 years or so...oh well, late than never. This is first step to approach international Mandopop fans. I hope Taiwan start their own weekly Music Shows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laiwingnang 85 Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 only if stupid beijing would let china go on youtube..you'd probably get like 1 billion views for little apple, bubble & 那些年 & 模特 btw, my bias GEM's bubble is around 26-27 million because she has two official channels and the video's view were split.... and å–œæ¡ä½ is probably the most viewed cantonese song .. it's at 17 million Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
