No.4  Little Apple sweeps the country

Composed and performed by the Chinese musical duo Chopsticks Brothers, the song Little Apple earned unprecedented popularity since its debut in May. People across the country imitated the dance in the music video and different versions of the song went viral online, such as Little Apple for soldiers, students, air stewardess and nurses.

Little Apple won the AMA International Song Award in November 2014 and the duo performed the song at the 42nd American Music Awards in Los Angeles, which not only fueled its popularity but also brought a fierce debate questioning its values and taste.
