Top Chinese Songs – July 2nd Week 2025

 JJ Lin & A-Lin Take the Lead – Chinese Music Chart July Week 2

We're back with the top-charting Chinese songs for the second week of July!  Leading the chart this week is the powerful debut of JJ Lin and A-Lin’s new duet. Their voices complement each other perfectly in this emotional track about a love that stays strong and connected, no matter the challenges. 

Also making a notable debut is Yoga Lin's new track, which comes with an unusually long 16-character title: Tao Ma de...Bu Yuan Dui Ni Shuo Zang Hua (translated as Darn it! I Still Refuse to Curse You). Could he be going for a record with that title length?

Other fresh entries this week include Lala Hsu Jia Ying with an OST for an upcoming film, and Gao Wu Ren’s (Accusefive) new song Cheng Shi Zhi Qiu.









Top 10 Chinese Songs | July 2025 – Week 2 (Local Chart)

1. 林俊杰 /A-Lin-在月蚀里抱紧我
JJ Lin Junjie/ A-lin- Zai Yue Shi Li Bao Jin Wo

Da Zhan Hong Tu (Blueprint Supreme)- SKAI Lan Lao 攬佬 /AR劉夫陽- 大展鴻圖 lyrics

 English translation, pinyin romanized lyrics: Da Zhan Hong Tu (Blueprint Supreme)- SKAI 攬佬 /AR劉夫陽- 大展鴻圖 

You probably have noticed that this song is so popular it's EVERYWHERE! but especially on Tiktok.  It’s one of those tracks that’s hard to ignore. "Da Zhan Hong Tu," which roughly means "Great Ambition," comes from a traditional Chinese phrase wishing someone success and a bright future.

Why did it go viral? 
It opens with a haunting Cantonese opera sample, then suddenly flips into a heavy trap beat with Memphis-style rhythm. That contrast is so unexpected, it pulls you in right away. Some listeners say they were hooked within seconds.



The track also sparked a viral dance challenge — simple, catchy, and perfect for short videos. Platforms like TikTok, Douyin, and Instagram Reels ran with it, and the related hashtags have racked up over 1.5 billion views so far.

English, pinyin: Zhang Yuan- Jia Bin (Guest) 張遠 - 嘉賓 lyrics

Karaoke Favorite:  Zhang Yuan-Jia Bin (Guest) english pinyin lyrics  張遠 - 嘉賓 拼音歌词

Though Zhang Yuan released this song in October 2020, it still resonates with so many people till today. By 2021 December, just in China alone, the song was covered nearly 35 million times on Kugou. 



"Guest" is really about the hard time letting go after a breakup, especially from a guy’s point of view—which a lot of male listeners connected with. The story hits its emotional peak when he shows up at his ex’s wedding as just a guest, sees her walk towards her happy ending while dealing with all the mixed feelings that come with it.

Even after so many years, listening and singing along with it still brings tears to the eyes...
