A total of 10 songs have stood out from a plethora of others to be selected as the leading songs used to promote Beijing's 2022 Winter Olympic Games bid, the city's 2022 Winter Olympic Games Bid Committee announced Wednesday.

The selected 10 songs, which make up a star-studded list including Jackie Chan and Sun Nan, are now available on the official website of the bid committee beijing-2022.cn, QQ Music and Beijing Music Radio.

The committee launched a campaign on August 8 last year with the Beijing Olympic City Development Association (BOCDA) to solicit songs for Beijing's 2022 bid. More than 60 songs were received.

Music has played an influential part in promoting the Olympic Games, with the most popular two songs among Chinese being the 1988 Seoul Olympic Games' "Hand in Hand" and "You and Me" for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.

The International Olympic Committee will announce the 2022 host city at its 128th Session in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on July 31.
