Reach mainland China's largest streaming ecosystem through Tencent Music
QQ Music is one of the anchor platforms in Tencent Music Entertainment's ecosystem, which also includes Kugou and Kuwo — together representing one of the largest concentrations of music streaming users in the world.

Tips to Succeed on QQ Music
Distribute to QQ Music alongside Kugou and Kuwo as a set — while all three sit under Tencent Music Entertainment, each retains a somewhat distinct user base, so covering all three maximizes your reach within the ecosystem.
Mainstream Chinese pop and hip-hop genres tend to perform best on QQ Music specifically, compared to NetEase Cloud Music's more indie-leaning audience.
Plan for a longer delivery and review window, consistent with mainland China platforms generally, when timing a release aimed at this market.
