On the evening of April 15, at the Cong Hien Awards 2026, Huong Tram caused a big surprise when she won the Album of the Year category with "Phao Cuu Sinh", surpassing a series of highly rated nominations.
This unexpected result quickly sparked controversy, making the female singer the focus of social media when the post sharing the joy of victory received more than 18,000 outrage responses in just a short time.
Voting data shows that Huong Tram's album "Phao cuu sinh" achieved 727.654 points, far ahead of the product behind it, "Mean ten thousand people" with 232.381 points.
Born in 1995, Huong Tram emerged from The Voice - The Voice of Vietnam 2012 with the champion title when she was only 17 years old.
Thanks to her powerful, emotional voice, she quickly became one of the prominent voices of V-pop, making her mark with a series of hits such as "Em gai mua", "Duyen minh lo" or "Cho em gan anh them chut nua".
Besides success, Huong Tram's career has also gone through many changes. The female singer once shared about the period of experiencing heavy psychological pressure, affecting her life and passion for music.
In 2019, she temporarily stopped her activities in Vietnam to study abroad in the US, marking a rather long period of "hiding".
By 2024, Huong Tram officially reappears, using the stage name Charmy Pham and pursuing a more mature and personal image.
She successively released products such as "Uoc anh nhieu noi buon" and the album "Phao cuu sinh", showing a change in musical thinking and performance style.
Recently, winning Album of the Year at the 2026 Cong Hien Award with "Phao Cuu Sinh" continued to bring Huong Tram back to the center of attention.
Despite being controversial, this milestone partly confirms the strong return of the female singer after many years of absence.
From a young phenomenon to a mature artist after many upheavals, Huong Tram's journey shows her efforts to innovate herself and regain her passion for music.
