Zi Yu<\/a> is quickly becoming one to watch. Not long ago, a special joint initiative by Billboard China and Tencent Music culminated in the 2025 Billboard Global No.1s China honors, where Zi Yu emerged as the country\u2019s representative winner. After two rounds of fan voting and recommendations, the rising Mandopop artist clinched the No. 1 spot with his song \u201cQuagmire,\u201d earning him the title of China\u2019s Global No. 1s honoree.<\/p>\n\n\tReleased in August this year, \u201cQuagmire\u201d became Zi Yu\u2019s first single to reach No. 1 on the Tencent Music charts. And beginning this summer, his popularity began to soar rapidly. Several subsequent singles such as \u201cToo Deep,\u201d \u201cSay It Before Sunrise\u201d and \u201cSunny Day After Rain\u201d all went on to top the TME Uni Chart. He became one of the very few highly popular young artists in recent years to score five No. 1 hits in his debut chart year. Meanwhile, his music festival schedule has grown increasingly packed, and he recently announced his solo concert. Zi Yu is like a vibrant fish leaping into the vast ocean. Even if there are brief moments of panic, he still swims firmly toward the distance.<\/p>\n\n
