We all know that in the music industry, Grammy awards are the most popular. Winning a Grammy is basically a reflection of a super-class singer at that time. Although a Chinese singer has never won a Grammy award, of course there are various Reason, but we actually also have our own highest award in music, in Hong Kong, it is the Golden Needle Award .
The Golden Needle Award is a lifetime achievement award selected from the top ten Chinese hits organized by Radio Television Hong Kong to commend individuals in the music industry for their outstanding achievements and contributions in the field of Hong Kong pop music.
The Golden Needle Award is not limited to the field of popular music, including drama, classical music and folk music. The award was first awarded in 1981, but there is no fixed annual award. It will only be awarded at the Top Ten Chinese Golden Songs Awards Ceremony when artists who are qualified to win the award appear. The Golden Needle Award is a lifetime achievement award for Hong Kong's top ten Chinese hits . It also has extensive influence in the Hong Kong music scene and is highly respected for its authority.

I would like to add here that at the 16th Top Ten Chinese Golden Songs Awards Ceremony held by Radio Hong Kong in 1993, was posthumously awarded The "Endless Talisman Memorial Award" was awarded to Chen Baiqiang, and was awarded to Huang Jiaju on January 21, 1994. It can be regarded as a tribute to these two great singers.
To be honest, the editor is not very familiar with some of the people who won the Golden Needle Award, especially some of the lyricists and producers behind the scenes. The above are the highest awards in Hong Kong. Similarly, in Taiwan there is an award similar to the Grammy that is elected every year, called the Golden Melody Award.
Taiwan Golden Melody Awards is the largest and most influential music award in the Chinese music industry. It has been held since 1990, and each award ceremony is held approximately before May or June every year.The
Golden Melody Award is a competition award provided by Taiwan to outstanding Chinese singers and outstanding workers in order to promote the Chinese music industry. It has rewarded many outstanding Chinese singers and outstanding music workers and has become the highest honor indicator in the Chinese music industry. Chinese music is of great help and encouragement. The Taiwan Golden Melody Awards, Taiwan TV Golden Bell Awards and Taiwan Film Golden Horse Awards are also known as Taiwan's three annual awards.
Whether it is the Golden Needle Award or the Golden Melody Award, they are rewards for singers’ singing careers. Just like awards in all walks of life, their purpose is to allow everyone to be rewarded and recognized after their hard work. , of course, the most important thing is its meaning. The meaning of the song is that it is the regulator of our life and mood, and it is also the other side of our soul and the home of our spirit. I hope there are more and better songs that we can appreciate. At the same time, I would also like to thank so many people who have contributed to the music industry.
