Mandopop (华语流行音乐) is a colloquial abbreviation for "Mandarin Popular Music" The English term "Mandopop" was coined around 1980 soon after "Cantopop" became a popular term for describing popular song in Cantonese, and "Mandopop" was then used to describe Mandarin-language popular songs of that time, which were often versions of Cantopop songs sung by the same singers with different lyrics to suit the different rhyme and tonal patterns of Mandarin. It is now used as a general term to describe popular songs performed in Mandarin.
