Canto Wrap: Top Cantopop Singles of 2024
the best Cantopop singles of the year including Beanies, sica, Anthony Wong, and more
I think the main difference between a pop star and a pop artist is that a star will blow you away with their voice, a pop artist will put everything together and make you lean in to hear it. To me, Hong Kong has felt closer and closer towards pop artists, further and further from pop stars. Even the dance tracks have a whispery sort of intimacy. Here’s the top 40 Cantopop songs, an image of the death of the pop star and the ascendance of the pop artist—much of that is to say that Hong Kong girl groups rule right now, the perfect blend of friendly, conversational, and intricate.
