Baidu Music Top 100: A Journey Through History

Baidu Music, also known as Baidu Mp3 or Baidu Music Key, is a popular music downloading website in China. It was launched in 2005, allowing users to access free music tracks, albums, video and charts. Baidu Music has been an integral part of China’s digital music landscape. Here, we will take a look at the history of Baidu Music Top 100 charts.

The Early Years (2005-2010)

When Baidu Music first launched, the website mainly hosted non-Chinese songs. In 2007, Baidu Music introduced the Top 100 chart which featured the most popular songs of the week. The chart was based on downloads from Baidu Music’s website and was updated every Thursday. The early years of the Baidu Music Top 100 were dominated by pop stars like Britney Spears, Linkin Park and Avril Lavigne. Chinese songs had yet to make a significant impact on the chart.

In 2009, China's National Copyright Administration released a report stating that Baidu Music was one of the top three websites that allowed music piracy. In response to this, Baidu Music began to offer licensed music from record labels to its users. As a result, Chinese songs started to dominate the Top 100 chart. In 2010, the first Chinese song topped the chart – \"Jasmine Flower\" by Jane Zhang.

The Golden Era (2011-2016)

From 2011 to 2016, Baidu Music Top 100 entered its golden age. The chart was updated every Tuesday and, apart from being based on downloads, it also factored in streaming data. The chart became a way for the world to see what music was popular in China. During this era, the chart was topped by popular Chinese singers and groups like Han Hong, Jay Chou, Li Yuchun, and TFBoys. The popularity of Chinese pop music had risen to a new level.

In 2015, Baidu Music launched a new service called \"Listen to One Song a Day\". Users could listen to one song for free every day, which was chosen based on the user's browsing history and preferences. This service generated a significant amount of data and helped to further refine the Top 100 chart.

The Present and Future (2017-present)

In 2017, Baidu Music Top 100 underwent a major overhaul. The chart now includes streaming data from all major music streaming platforms in China, including QQ Music and NetEase Music. The new chart is updated every Thursday and reflects not just downloads and streams but also shares and engagement with the music on social media. The chart is still dominated by Chinese singers and groups, but there have been more international acts making an appearance, such as Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran.

In conclusion, Baidu Music Top 100 has come a long way from its early beginnings to become one of the most important music charts in China. The chart has helped to promote Chinese pop music to a wider audience, and has evolved with the times to reflect changing trends in music consumption. It will be interesting to see how the chart continues to adapt and evolve in the future.
