Some popular artists who sing Mandopop include Jay Chou, Jolin Tsai, and Faye Wong. They sing songs about love, friendship, and other topics that people can relate to.

So if you ever hear someone talking about Mandopop, just remember that it's music in Mandarin Chinese that is enjoyed by people in different parts of Asia.
