The Hong Kong native walked away as the biggest winner of the night, despite several other Mandarin-speaking singers from the Chinese mainland vying for glory.

Winners of the night's thirty awards also included Malaysian singers Guang Liang and Gary Cao winning Metro Radio Male Singers, "Super Girl" Zhang Liangying sharing the Metro Radio Female Singer award with Taiwan's Elva Hsiao and Hong Kong's Joey Yung, Lee-Hom Wang won Metro Radio Producer. Jay Chou was also honored with Metro Radio Album of Asia for Still Fantasy, and actor-turned-singer Huang Xiaoming was awarded Idol Singer of the Chinese mainland.
