The 37th Golden Melody Awards (Chinese: 第37屆金曲獎), organized by the Bureau of Audiovisual and Music Industry Development under the Ministry of Culture, were held its award ceremony on June 27, 2026, at the Taipei Arena.
Background
For the 37th Golden Melody Awards, submissions were Still Moving from December 1, 2025, to January 2, 2026, and works released in 2025 were eligible for entry.[1] The nomination period for the Special Contribution Award ran until March 13, 2025. Starting from this edition, new regulations allow the use of generative AI software as an assistive tool in music creation and production processes. However, works in which all components (such as composition, lyrics, arrangement, or vocals) are entirely generated by AI are not eligible for competition in the respective categories.[2]
The nominations were announced on May 13. Jolin Tsai's Pleasure received the most nominations, with nine in total, while Warner led all submitting organizations with 16 nominations.[3] Regarding notable omissions, jury chairperson Kay Huang stated that Yoga Lin, David Tao, and Pets Tseng were each discussed through several rounds during the selection process for the Best Mandarin Male and Female Singer awards. However, the final nominations ultimately followed the jury's established procedures, resulting in the final list announced this year.[4]
