Super Star

Super Star, also known as TTV Super Star since 2020 is an annual Chinese New Year's Eve television special produced by Taiwanese broadcaster TTV. It is broadcast simultaneously on television and on the OTT platform, nationally and internationally by the TTV network and by some overseas broadcasters (mainly Singapore and Malaysia) which also acquired programming rights to air the program. Taiwan Mobile was later sponsored the event and carried digital rights for simulcast premiere in Taiwan starting from the 2018 edition. The first special premiered on February 13, 2010, the eve of the 2010's Chinese New Year, and has span a total of 14 competitions since. The competition is basically similar to the NHK's New Year's Eve special, Kōhaku Uta Gassen, which first premiered in 1951, albeit several differences from the original counterpart. History and Format Similar to Kōhaku Uta Gassen, these songs and performers are examined by a selection committee put together by TTV. The basis for selection are record sales and adaptability to the edition's theme. At the same time, a demographic survey is conducted regarding the most popular singers for each and what kind of music people want to hear. This and the song selection explain the amalgamation of the musical genres and its artists.
