YouTube has officially deactivated the Trending category since July 21. Instead, YouTube will replace it with a YouTube Charts ranking system, dividing video content into separate fields such as music, podcast, and popular movie trailers.
Thus, the MV "Bac Bling" made Hoa Minzy the last female singer to reach the top 1 YouTube Trending Global. Before Hoa Minzy, only Son Tung M-TP's MV "Give it to me" achieved this achievement.
Hoa Minzy releases MV "Bac Bling" on March 1. This song quickly became a phenomenon of Vietnamese music, reaching high rankings on digital music charts.
The MV honoring Bac Ninh culture has achieved many impressive achievements, such as attracting 100 million views on YouTube in less than a month, holding the top 1 Trending YouTube Vietnam for many days, topping charts such as iTunes Vietnam, Apple Music Vietnam, ZingChart, reaching 200 million views after only 81 days of release.
Bac Bling combines modern music and folk sounds, honoring heritage and cultural identity.
In the MV, viewers witness typical images of Bac Ninh, from the four-tone shirt, sports hat to famous landmarks such as Dau Pagoda, Do Temple, Dong Ho painting village...
In the MV "Bac Bling", Hoa Minzy's lyrics mention many familiar lines of Bac Ninh officials such as: "eat a piece of betel", "do not return to the countryside"...
The custom of their matchmaking was once resounding and also opened with a charming betel-shaped custom: "This betel-based betel/ Eat in to let the red eat in to the red of your lips and your lips" or "See you eat a piece of betel. Don't take it for granted, let's give it to each other with peace of mind".
The image in the MV also reminds me of the fourth thoughts in the poem "The other side of the Duong River" by poet Hoang Cam, which includes the line: "Who goes to the other side of the Duong River/ Does not remember each face of lotus buds/ Those with black tooth decant/ Laughs like the autumn of the sun".
Not only a music video, Bac Bling is also a reunion of many generations of Vietnamese artists such as: contemporary folk art icon Xuan Hinh, young arrangement star Masew, singer Tuan Cry, Hoa Minzy. Along with that is the participation of 300 local people, joining hands to create an artistic space imbued with the characteristics of the Northern countryside.
