HCM City Television (HTV) and Forest Studio began producing the show in January. It has attracted 42,777 followers on its Facebook page and more than 265,000 subscribers on its YouTube channel.

Its videos, which screen live performances on HCM City streets, have earned tens of millions of views on YouTube.

Its most liked video showcases a mashup of Ngay Chua Giong Bao (The Calm Before the Storm) and Always Remember Us This Way.

Four days after its release, it ranked No 2 on YouTube trending in Viet Nam, with 2.2 million views.

A mashup sung by Hoa Minzy and Van Mai Huong has attracted nearly 13.9 million views since March 5.

The song is listed in the show’s seventh extended play (EP) featuring film soundtracks, which was ranked No 1 on Apple Music Chart in Việt Nam on 21 March.

Nguyen Kim Quyen, a resident in Dong Nai Province, said: “I love the mashup so much. I listen to it several times a day.”

She was impressed with the voices of both songstresses. “Hoa Minzy is a big improvement in the show, and Huong has a strong and powerful voice and professional skills,” Quyên said.

Hoa Minzy, Hua Kim Tuyen and Anh Tu are permanent singers on the show.

The trio has collaborated with guest performers, such as pop stars Uyen Linh and Van Mai Huong, winner and first runner-up of the TV reality music show Vietnam Idol 2010.

The performances also include Pham Quynh Anh, a member of HAT girl band who was popular with Vietnamese audiences in the 2000s, and young singers LyLy, Ali Hoang Duong and Bui Cong Nam.

During the show, the singers covered Vietnamese and foreign songs featuring different topics like love songs, film soundtracks, and favourite Vietnamese songs in the 2000s.

Most of them are popular with Vietnamese audiences for years, such as Tinh Thoi Xot Xa (Bitter Love), Uoc Gi (I Wish), and Vietnamese version of Aloha by South Korean band Cool.

The artists also performed soundtracks from the 2001 Chinese TV series Romance in the Rain, the musical drama A Star is Born and Vietnamese movie Mat Biec (Blue Eyes) are featured as well.

Anh Tu, the first runner-up of the TV reality music show The Voice Viet Nam 2017, said: “Covering my favourite songs brings me so many emotions that takes me back to my youth."

Tú was happy working with his close friends Hoa Minzy and Tuyen, as well as Vietnamese top singers.

“It’s a great opportunity for me to share singing experiences and improve my skills,” he added.

The 29-year-old singer and his friends said they wanted to thank audiences in HCM City and across the country who gave them huge support and contributed to success of the show.

Kim Guk Jin, a representative of Forest Studio, told local media that Xuan Ha Thu Dong Roi Lai Xuan aims to create a playground for Vietnamese singers and music makers to talk about music and sing together.

The show is a place where singers can share their passion and love for music, inspiring audiences.

Xuan Ha Thu Dong Roi Lai Xuan airs every Thursday on HCM City's HTV.
