Before the birth of the Global Chinese Original Music Chart, the media recommendation award was a standard feature in all three major domestic pop music awards.
The media recommendation award is quite unique. It is the only prize not determined by judges or audience votes, but by the joint recommendations of various traditional and online media outlets.
The Global Chinese Original Music Chart features 235 recommending media organizations, covering the entire country, the three special administrative regions, and many significant overseas Chinese-language media outlets. Consequently, the weight of this award is substantial, far exceeding similar categories in the original three major music awards.
