Hong Kong singer Kay Tse has broken a record on the music scene for her speedy win of the most coveted local award.

Thirty-one-year-old Tse, who popped onto the scene in 2005, won the Four Stations Media Award at the 31st annual Top Ten Chinese Gold Songs Awards on Sunday. The media award is given to the musician who garners the most combined awards over the previous year.

Tse scooped three honors, including a Gold Song for "Wedding Invitation Street" at Sunday's awards, which wrapped up the 2008 music awards season in Hong Kong.

That brought Tse's total number of awards to 16, beating veterans Joey Yung and Eason Chan, both of whom bagged 15 trophies in 2008.

Yung and Chan were respectively named best female and male singer of the year at Sunday's awards.

Other honorees included pop stars Miriam Yeung and Leo Ku, as well as celebrated lyricist Albert Leung.
