KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia's No.1 singer Datuk Seri Siti Nurhaliza Tarudin has kicked off the year with much success after garnering six wins at JOOX Malaysia Top Music Awards 2020 recently.
The longstanding singer with a mellifluous voice was named Most Popular Local Artiste, Top 5 Local Artiste for the Year End 2020 and Top 5 Local Artiste of 2020.
In the song category, Siti's hit single Aku Bidadari Syurgamu won Most Popular Local Song, Top 5 Local Hit for the Year End 2020 and Top 5 Local Hit for 2020.
"This is the sweetest success and a great opening for 2021," said Siti in a recent news report.
The popular artiste added that she was pleasantly surprised that she had raked in more wins than international acts such as Justin Bieber and BTS who each garnered five wins as revealed by the organiser.
"Thank you to fans who have kept supporting me all this while. I also thank Joox for the recognition and for organising this event," she said.
Siti also shared the good news with her fans via an IG TV entry on her official account @ctdk.
