The MET10 Awards returns! Vote for your favourite artist now!

Local entertainment aficionados, get ready! The local music scene is set to explode once again when the MET10 Awards takes the stage on 16 January in Kuala Lumpur. The awards show is a celebration to honor Malaysian English artists who has topped the weekly Malaysian English Top 10 (MET10) chart throughout 2015. Themed “Back in Time”, the three-hour extravaganza will bring together local artists from different generations, making the show uniquely electrifying.


And guess who’s back?
In collaboration with Tune Talk, this year’s MET10 Awards will see CEOs - Jake Abdullah of Astro Radio and Tune Talk’s Jason Lo co-hosting the show. This marks a reunion for the two industry heavyweights after Lo’s departure from hitz fm in 2007. Both Jake and Lo are currently hosting the MET10 chart show which airs every Sunday from 3pm till 4pm. 


“MET10 Awards was launched a decade ago to celebrate the local English music scene, which I am pleased to see, grew to a great extent over the years. Homegrown artists such as Yuna and Zee Avi are no strangers to the international music arena while pop rock band Paperplane Pursuit has been making headlines recently for breaking into the Billboard Top 40 Indicator Chart,” said Jake Abdullah, CEO of Astro Radio.

“We are extremely excited to bring back the MET10 Awards and we trust local music supporters will appreciate what we have lined up for them. And I have good news for fans who can’t be there physically. Listeners can either tune in to hitz fm or alternatively, stream it on RAKU. All they have to do is download the RAKU application and start listening to more than 20 live radio stations, playlists curated by local artistes including Yuna, Paper Plane Pursuit, Dasha Logan and many more,” he added.

“Personally, I have seen a tremendous growth in the local English music scene as compared to 10 year ago and the public is more receptive now. A handful of Malaysian talents are even making waves abroad, drawing eyeballs back to the local English music scene. This a good sign that bigger things will come in the future and I am excited for new releases by our talented English musicians who definitely have more tune in the pipeline,” stated Jason Lo, Tune Talk CEO.

“Music is one of the core elements that make up Tune Talk. It is an honor for us to be a part of this movement as we foresee greater things to come soon. On the 16th of January at the MET10 Awards, we will honor the best of 2015, and at the same time, we will revisit the glory days of yesterday as we embark on the magnificent journey of tomorrow,” he added.
