Jade Solid Gold (Chinese: 勁歌金曲, literally "powerful song golden melody") is a music show on the TVB Jade television channel. It has been running since October 10, 1981.
Starting on October 10, 1981 every week, Jade Solid Gold features today's music videos, live performances or concerts, and a countdown of the top 20 best albums sold amongst the competition. The show has a live audience. Most of the performances are cantopop, rock, soul, and light music. Every January the Jade Solid Gold Best Ten Music Awards Presentation (十大勁歌金曲頒獎典禮) is one of the biggest music awards in Hong Kong. Along with the RTHK Top 10 Awards, they are the most recognized and publicized awards given.
The program also has a companion program called "Jade Solid Gold Song Video Corner" (金曲挑戰站), in which a random music video is featured; hence the name.
The majority of the singers to appear on the show are cantopop or Hong Kong-based artists. Some mainland Chinese and Taiwanese artists have also performed on the show.
A number of music themed shows have a similar format with Jade Solid Gold. This includes 360° (formerly 360° Boundless Music, 360° 音樂無邊) and Global Rhythm (無間音樂).
