Chinese Showbiz 2000: Starting with Rock Records

In 2000, the Chinese-language music scene officially entered its “golden decade” of “immortals battling it out”!

The physical record industry reached its peak.

Jay Chou, Wang Leehom, Lin Junjie, and Tao Zhe, along with the “four greats, three rising stars, and one snake band,” battled like immortals!

R&B, Chinese-style music, rap, rock, dance music, healing love songs, British bands, and online folk songs all burst onto the scene at once. It was an era when works reigned supreme and talent spoke for itself!
