QQ Music started in 2005.
QQ Music is affiliated to Tencent Music Entertainment Group, China’s leader in online music services, and is the country’s leading music streaming platform. To date, the total number of registered users of QQ Music has reached 800 million.
QQ Music announced its merger with China Music Group to form Tencent Music Entertainment Group. China Music Group has two major brands, Kugou Music and Kuwo Music.
Digital music platforms in mainland China have been in a state of reshuffle in 2017. In May, Alibaba Planet merged with Xiami Music and Tiantian Dongting and went online.
In July, China Music Group and Tencent Group*** announced that they would merge their QQ Music business with China Music Group. The three music platforms of QQ Music, Kugou Music, and Kuwo Music will remain independent. With the development, the services that users originally enjoyed remain unchanged, and at the same time, they can obtain more diversified choices. Extended information
In October 2016, with its ultra-high market share and complete and comprehensive content advantages, QQ Music ranked first in the music industry with 36.91% of the votes in the music application selection. QQ Music has won this honorary title for three consecutive years as the industry's number one, becoming a veritable "golden brand" among music brands.
From the perspective of future layout, QQ Music still insists on focusing on copyrighted content as the core, and carries out diversified music social networking, music e-commerce, fan economy, and digital music ecosystem by linking the resources of the entire Tencent product chain. Extended businesses such as O2O performances and digital distribution will bring more comprehensive music services to users. This approach will also further consolidate QQ Music’s “golden brand” status in the industry.
