Weibo Music Awards


The Weibo Music Awards, formerly known as Freshasia Music Awards, is an annual award show hosted by the Chinese social media website Weibo.

Background

The Weibo Music Awards has been held annually since 2016, with the exception of the years 2020 and 2021. It was originally named Freshasia Music Awards from 2016 to 2019 and was renamed Weibo Music Awards when it resumed in 2022 with new award format.
Freshasia Music Awards used data from music streaming platforms plays, shares, and downloads as the standard for nominations and awards. Participating music platforms included Migu Music, Xiami Music, QQ Music, NetEase Cloud Music, and Baidu Music. In addition, social media engagement on Weibo also factored into the decision. Weibo Music Awards recognizes artists based on primarily engagement on Weibo.
Weibo Music Awards has received criticism for the large number of awards given out and the gradual shift toward becoming a marketing platform.
