Wang Fei (王菲) - 流年 (Bleeding Years)
Alright, that's a bit of a hack translation of the song name - but this is a beautiful song by the beautiful Wang Fei.
Jay Zhou (周杰伦) - 霍元甲
This song is from Jet Li's Fearless - it plays as Li schools the foreign Imperialists ;-)
Jordan Chan (陈小春) - Suan Ni Hen (算你狠)
This song rocks. Seriously.
Wilbur Pan - WuHa
It's impossible not to love.

Share and share alike. Heard a cool Chinese song? Find the MP3 (Baidu MP3 search) and bookmark the direct link to the MP3 to del.icio.us, tagging it with "llwmusic". Easy peasy.
