Online tunes go viral 

Due to COVID, many singers and musicians have taken the initiative and made changes. 

Many of them are still actively launching music products. In addition, a variety of content, forms and trends are still being produced.

This year, online music is still the most prominent trend in Vietnamese music.

Recently, episodes of "Xuân Hạ Thu Đông Rồi Lại Xuân" (Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter, and Spring again), a TV reality show showcasing street performances of favourite Vietnamese singers, went viral on social media in Vietnam.
