Teeming with cherished hits, the 2010s showed that Mandopop is not only unstoppable but also adaptable in the face of an evolving global-music milieu. Several champions of the genre folded emerging trends into their sound, including elements of trap (Jolin Tsai on “Play”), electro-pop (Show Lo on “獨一無二” or “Only You”) and future bass (A-Lin on “Go”). Meanwhile, crowd favourites like JJ Lin, Rainie Yang, G.E.M. and Mayday preserved their distinctive styles across romantic ballads and rock anthems; and earned audiences in Taiwan, China, Singapore, Malaysia and beyond.
