HONG KONG, Jan 24 (AP) -- Eason Chan Monday was crowned the king of Hong Kong's pop music awards season in 2005 with a strong showing at the last event of the season -- the Top Ten Chinese Gold Songs Award.

Chan won the Four Electronic Media Syndicated Award, meaning he won the most awards at the four pop music prize ceremonies organized by local broadcasters.

His song "Sunset Is Infinitely Good," was picked as the "Global Chinese Gold Song" by listener vote and input from Chinese-language radio stations around the world. "Sunset" was also picked as the second most popular song in mainland China.

Joey Yung was the big winner on the female side, bagging a top sales award and racking up honors as the best female pop singer and the most popular in China.

Veteran actor-singer Andy Lau continued to prove his evergreen status. He was named most popular male singer in China and his "Say I Love You Again" was the most loved song in China.

Taiwan's Jay Chou was the best-selling male artist but didn't show up for the ceremony.

Monday's awards were organized by Hong Kong's government-owned radio RTHK. The prizes were determined by a mix of voting, polling, professional judging and input from radio stations.
