The Asian Pop Music Awards (Chinese: 亚洲流行音乐大奖, is a music award show jointly organized by Asia Sunway Entertainment Group Co., Ltd. (Hong Kong) and British Sunway Music Group. The show is held annually produced by the Asian Pop Music Awards Production Committee, and selected by the Asian Pop Music Awards Jury.[1]
Preparations for the Asian Pop Music Awards began in 2018, and in September 2019 its ranking list, – "Asian Pop Music Chart", was officially launched. The Asian pop music chart is released every week, divided into Chinese chart and overseas chart with ten songs each.[2]
On December 27, 2020, due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Asian Pop Music Awards 2020 was changed from being held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center to being held online, and was postponed to December. In addition, at the invitation of Chairman Wei of the Asian Pop Music Awards Production Committee, Hong Kong musician Liu Zhuohui joined the Asian Pop Music Awards 2020 Jury Panel and served as a judge.[3]
