Which singer is the hottest right now?

Hieuthuhai and Soobin Hoang Son "compete" with Son Tung M-TP.

Sơn Tùng M-TP (30 years old) was a " musical phenomenon" from 2013 with the song "Cơn mưa ngang qua" (A Passing Rain) , followed by "Em của ngày hôm qua " (You of Yesterday); then became a star in 2017 with the release of "Lạc trôi" (Drifting Away) and "Nơi này có anh" (There's You Here). He maintained his position as the most prominent A-list star among young singers, sustaining strong appeal with a series of hit songs such as "Chạy ngay đi" (Run Away Immediately) and "Hãy trao cho anh" (Give Me Your Love), collaborating with foreign producers. Currently, Sơn Tùng M-TP is still considered a "superstar" of the Vietnamese showbiz world, but his newly released songs have lost some of the previous frenzied appeal.

Ten years after Son Tung M-TP surpassed many other names to claim the title of the brightest young star in Vietnamese music, several other names are now vying to dethrone him. Recently, Hieuthuhai and Soobin Hoang Son have risen to prominence, leading the public to compare them and predict they will surpass Son Tung M-TP in the near future.

Hieuthuhai (real name Tran Minh Hieu, 25 years old) has emerged as an entertainment star over the past two years, with his popularity skyrocketing. First known through King of Rap 2020 , impressing with his handsome looks and captivating rap lyrics, he seized the opportunity to participate in popular national game shows like 2 Days 1 Night , further boosting his fame. He released his debut album, "Everyone Starts from Somewhere, " to demonstrate his professional talent, winning numerous music awards and amassing a large fan base. This year, he continued his success by participating in the popular music show "Brother Says Hi" and winning first place with 1,061,492 votes, standing out from the other 29 male singers by consistently being chosen as a team captain and employing clever strategies to showcase his breakthrough. The list of songs that Hieuthuhai has released that have reached top trending positions is countless. After the show, his popularity skyrocketed, making him one of the most sought-after names at many shows, along with a rapidly expanding fandom. Recently, he surpassed Son Tung M-TP in September listenership on Spotify with 1,614,816 listens. Second place went to female singer t'linh with 1,580,917 listens; while Son Tung M-TP held third place with 1,571,475 listens… Two rankings specializing in tracking and evaluating the influence of individuals on social media, BuzzMetrics and Kompa, also announced Hieuthuhai as the top-ranked most influential social media personality of the month.

Along with "Brother Says Hi ," the TV music show "Brother Overcomes a Thousand Obstacles" is also creating a sensation, especially with its live concert last weekend attracting over 20,000 viewers. "Talented" Soobin Hoang Son (real name Nguyen Huynh Son, 32 years old) is considered all-around talented and stands out with many performances, consistently leading the pack among the 33 participating singers. He is compared to Hieuthuhai because, in terms of musical achievements, vocal skill, and years of experience with hits like "Please Don't Be Silent," "Behind a Girl," "BlackJack (You Are the Lucky One)," "The Years," "Go to Return," etc. , he is arguably superior to Hieuthuhai, even though his national popularity may not yet match his colleague's. These two male singers are currently dominating the music scene and are about to "clash" in the 8WONDER Winter 2024 supershow on the evening of December 8th at Vinhomes Grand Park, Ho Chi Minh City, featuring the world- leading band Imagine Dragons.

There are many other "hot" faces as well.

Due to the popularity of these two programs, audiences are focusing their attention on Hieuthuhai and Soobin Hoang Son, using Son Tung M-TP as a "benchmark" because of their similar musical style. However, among the hottest singers in Vietnamese music today, there are many other names.

Besides top stars who maintain their appeal over the years and constantly update their musical trends to keep up with audience tastes, such as My Tam, Ho Ngoc Ha, Ha Anh Tuan, Tuan Hung, etc., Vietnamese music also has many established and new names that are increasingly rising in popularity with new advancements in performance skills and vocals, such as: Quang Anh Rhyder (Winner of The Voice Kids Vietnam 2013 , Runner-up of Anh Trai Say Hi 2024 ), Quang Hung MasterD, Hoa Minzy, Jun Pham, Binz, Kay Tran, Mono, Isaac, Tang Duy Tan, Duc Phuc, Wren Evans, Vu Den, Quoc Thien, Uyen Linh, Ha Nhi, Toc Tien, Trung Quan, Anh Tu, Lam Bao Ngoc, Phuong My Chi…

Vietnam Idol 2008 winner Quoc Thien recently held his own live show on October 13th, singing live with great emotion for nearly four hours, alongside impressive dance performances. This proved his current popularity with the audience, as the 4,000-seat Hanoi National Convention Center was filled. He will continue this show in Da Lat on the evening of November 2nd with guest singers Soobin Hoang Son, Rhymastic, Binz, and Ha Nhi.

In addition, over 8,000 people attended Vu's concert in Ho Chi Minh City on the evening of October 12th, and during the more than two hours of the show, he and guest artists Ha Anh Tuan, Madihu, Low G, and Khang Chillies performed nearly 30 songs with new arrangements. The "Museum of Regrets" concert will continue in Hanoi on October 26th, and it can be said that he is currently a successful singer-songwriter with a large and devoted fan base. Furthermore, singer Uyen Linh is also busy with her "The Vocalist" concert at Hoa Binh Theater, Ho Chi Minh City on the evening of November 9th…

Regarding the question of who is currently the hottest singer, based on various factors, singer Bang Kieu offered his perspective: "No matter how many millions of views you have on YouTube or social media, as a singer you must hold ticketed shows. If you try to sell tickets but can't, you're not a truly charismatic artist." However, music producer Hoang Duy argued: "The value of views and media coverage for artists today cannot be denied, as it reflects the reach of a musical product and the level of audience interest, especially among young people. If artists can achieve real views and appeal like Son Tung M-TP, Den, My Tam, Ha Anh Tuan... who have both large view counts and sold-out concerts, that's fantastic. This is what currently popular singers should aim for to demonstrate their long-term vision as artists."
