BEIJING, Feb. 25, 2025 -- Jacky Cheung, known as the "God of Songs" in the Chinese-speaking world, reached a historic milestone on February 23 by completing his 1,000th concert. This performance, held in Haikou as part of the "Jacky Cheung 60+ World Tour," also marked the 218th show of this current tour. Cheung is now the first Chinese artist ever to surpass the 1,000-concert milestone. To celebrate this momentous occasion, the management team of Universal Music Greater China (UMGC) attended the concert and presented Cheung with a special gift, honoring his remarkable influence and legacy over the past four decades.
Jacky Cheung's ten world tours represent a legendary musical journey that spans 38 years. Beginning in 1987 with his first solo tour, the "Jacky Cheung 87 Concert" from Hong Kong Coliseum to his 1,000th concert in 2025, his career has taken him to over 100 cities across 18 countries and regions, attracting millions of fans. These performances have not only set unparalleled records in the Chinese music industry but have also witnessed the global rise of Chinese pop music on the world stage.
Although Cheung has always stated that breaking records was never his goal, his tours have consistently set new milestones. In 1995, his "Friends World Tour" reached 100 shows, a record for the most performances by a Chinese artist at the time. In 2010, his "1/2 Century World Tour" attracted over 2 million people within a single year, earning a Guinness World Records™ title for the "largest combined audience for a live act in 12 months." The "Jacky Cheung A Classic Tour," which spanned 2 years and 3 months, set the record for the most shows by a Chinese artist in a single tour, with 233 performances. Now, with his ongoing "60+ Concert Tour," which began in 2023, Cheung has already completed 218 shows, with more performances expected to surpass the records set by his previous tours.
Regarded as one of the most influential Chinese artists worldwide, Jacky Cheung is often celebrated as the "God of Songs" in the Chinese-speaking world. He has won numerous prestigious awards, including the "U.S. Billboard Music Awards - The Most Popular Singer in Asia" (1994), "World Music Awards - World's Best-Selling Asian Artist" (1995, 1996), and the "Jade Solid Gold Awards - Asia Pacific Most Popular Male Singer" (1994, 1997, 1998), "Golden Melody Award - Best Mandarin Male Singer" (1998), among other top honors, and has had seven albums certified as Hong Kong's best-sellers by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI).
At his concert on that evening, Jacky Cheung, deeply moved, expressed: "What does 1,000 concerts mean to me? It's a reflection of the past 40 years, where I've spent nearly 3,000 hours standing on this stage. I've poured all my sincerity and love into every performance. To every fan who has supported me, whether you're here with me tonight or not, my journey has been shaped by your unwavering love and encouragement. Without you, I would never have had the chance to do what I love most. These 40 years, these 1,000 shows—they were made possible by you. I am sincerely grateful for your constant presence by my side. Thank you from the bottom of my heart."
