Hong Kong started 2013 with a bang in the music industry. The 2012 Ultimate Song Chart Awards was held in the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center in Wan Chai on the evening of January 1, 2013. A total of 34 awards were presented last night. The winners were determined by the number of votes accumulated through polls hosted by My903.com and Hong Kong Toolbar. Although it was Eason Chan (陳奕迅) who took home the most trophies, the biggest winners of the night were Bowie Lam (林保怡), Moses Chan (陳豪), and Kenny Wong (黃德斌), who took home that night’s biggest award, the My Favorite Song Award, for their song “Youthful Ignorance” <年少無知>, the ending theme of When Heaven Burns <天與地>. “Youthful Ignorance” was written and produced by Paul Wong (黃貫中), with the lyrics helmed by Riley (林若寧). Although the single received lackluster promotion by TVB, the song became a viral hit, peaking at number 2 on the Metro Radio Pop Chart and number 3 on the RTHK Pop Chart. Paul Wong’s own cover of the song also peaked at number 2 on the Metro Radio Pop Chart. “Youthful Ignorance” also won the WeChat Chit Chat Most Popular Song award, an award based on mobile popularity. The critically acclaimed When Heaven Burns aired at the end of 2011 on TVB Jade. Although the drama suffered low ratings throughout its broadcast life, the drama gained a large online following. When Heaven Burns won Best Drama at the 45th TVB Anniversary Awards, at the Next Magazine Awards, and at the StarHub TVB Awards.
