History
Starting on October 10, 1981 every week, Jade Solid Gold features today's music videos, live performances or concerts, and a countdown of the top 20 best albums sold amongst the competition. The show has a live audience. Most of the performances are cantopop, rock, soul, and light music. Every January the Jade Solid Gold Best Ten Music Awards Presentation (十大勁歌金曲頒獎典禮) is one of the biggest music awards in Hong Kong. Along with the RTHK Top 10 Awards, they are the most recognized and publicized awards given.
The program also has a companion program called "Jade Solid Gold Song Video Corner" (金曲挑戰站), in which a random music video is featured; hence the name.
