After teasing for a while, on April 26th, Phương Mỹ Chi officially released the song 'Vũ Trụ Có Anh,' featuring DTAP and rapper Pháo.

The song quickly captured attention for its unique blend of modern and traditional elements. Gone is the image of Phương Mỹ Chi as the young girl singing folk songs in glasses and a traditional áo bà ba or áo dài. Now, she confidently explores different styles to reinvent herself.

Through this release, Phương Mỹ Chi aims to show that love for traditional culture isn't just for older generations, but also deeply ingrained in the younger Gen Z. She hopes that the Vietnamese folk elements in 'Vũ Trụ Có Anh' will spread the values of traditional culture to a wider audience.

Before 'Vũ Trụ Có Anh,' Phương Mỹ Chi had also collaborated several times with DTAP, including hits like 'Còn Thở Là Còn Gỡ' and the recent 'Chi?' series with innovative new mixes.

On the evening of April 19th, the song 'Không Thể Say' was officially released, with HIEUTHUHAI taking a break from his rapper persona to showcase his vocal talents.

'Không Thể Say' is an R&B track with an easy-to-listen-to melody, written by HIEUTHUHAI himself, expressing the regret of a past relationship. The song quickly captured attention, climbing to number 4 on the iTunes Vietnam chart and number 5 on YouTube's trending music chart.

The music video, featuring a dominant white color palette and grandiose sets, tells the story of a lovesick man dealing with a breakup. HIEUTHUHAI impresses with his emotional acting in several poignant scenes.

Currently rising as a young star with a large fan base, HIEUTHUHAI's career is set to soar even higher, especially after his appearance on the reality show '2 Days & 1 Night.' With his good looks, sense of humor, and growing popularity, his future in the music industry looks bright.

After more than 8 weeks on the charts in Vietnam, 'Cupid' has officially reached the top spot at number 1 on the Billboard Vietnam Hot 100, making it the third female K-pop group to achieve this milestone, following BLACKPINK and NewJeans.

Not only has it made waves on the Billboard Hot 100 in both the US and Vietnam, but Cupid also made history by becoming the first K-pop girl group song to enter the top ranks of the Official UK Chart, one of the most prestigious music charts in the UK. Specifically, the hit single reached number 9, climbing 18 spots and surpassing other famous acts from South Korea such as BLACKPINK and TWICE.

'Cupid' is the title track from the debut single 'The Beginning: Cupid' by the K-pop girl group FIFTY FIFTY. Despite being a rookie group with just four months in the industry, the girls from South Korea have already made remarkable achievements. FIFTY FIFTY also holds the record for being the K-pop group to enter the Billboard Hot 100 in the shortest time—only 130 days after their debut.

After a week of building momentum, the collaboration between GREY D and Chillies, 'đưa em về nhàa,' has risen to the top of the Billboard Vietnam chart.

On Apple Music, the song quickly climbed to number 1 within just 2 days of its release, further extending GREY D's impressive digital music achievements.

With its catchy melody and infectious chorus—'đưa em về nhà, mây trôi chiều tà'—the track has been met with enthusiastic support from fans.

Formerly a member of Monstar, GREY D is now pursuing a solo career and has proven himself to be a rising star in the Vietnamese music scene.

Each of his releases showcases his unique musical style and creativity.

Causing a stir by teasing with the letters M, M, W, Sơn Tùng quickly satisfied his fans' curiosity by releasing 'Making My Way' on May 5th. This track marks the beginning of a new project that Sơn Tùng will be rolling out throughout 2023, setting the stage for a new chapter in his musical career.

Instead of a grand music video, Sơn Tùng M-TP opted to release only an audio version on streaming platforms, accompanied by a visualizer for 'Making My Way.' The song features an infectious melody and meaningful lyrics penned by the artist himself. During a live broadcast, he shared, 'This song means a lot to me because its melody helps me forget the things that haven’t gone as planned in life and reminds me to follow whatever my heart tells me, to go wherever the music guides me.'

After 'Making My Way,' Sơn Tùng will continue to release more tracks as part of this exciting project for 2023. The next song is described as 'a deep, emotional, but still very upbeat track.'
