A song for the Beijing Olympics stood high up in the online new
song chart of China's searching engine Baidu, which delighted the
Beijing Olympics organizers.
The song Mengxiangzaiwang or I can see my dream
realized, Wednesday stands in third in the New Song Chart Top
100 of the www.baidu.com, one of the China's big searching
engine.
It once topped the chart on Monday, two weeks after Hong Kong
song writers Lam Chik and Piu Pak Leung flew to Beijing to submit
the song.
Zhou Bichang is the singer which may help the song rocket up the
chart as the girl finished runner-up in China's much-hyped singing
contest "Super Girl" in 2005.
An Olympic Songs Solicitation Campaign official said the song
has drawn so much attention even before promotion starts, which
showed that how much people like it and how much attention they
paid to the Olympics.
The Beijing Olympics organizers launched a five-year project to
solicit tunes from amateur and professional composers in April
2003. So far the contest's three rounds have seen 23 songs chosen
from thousands of entries and the fourth round kicked off in
January this year.
The theme song will be selected from a short list in 2008.
