Launched in 2009, the site became China's most visited music video website by 2015.

[6] Beginning in 2013, YinYueTai hosted the annual V Chart Awards, which honored musical artists from across Asia.

[7] The website started when the founder could not easily find the music video which he was looking for, or when he found it on some site that had too many ads.

Currently YinYueTai has no ads, and unlike YouTube where you can find multiple copies of the same music video, YinYueTai only keeps one copy of each music video on site for easy search.

[8] Starting in July 2011, the site began to have a monthly music video chart in five different categories based on the artist's region (Mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan, Europe and United States, Korea, and Japan), and in November the site began to have a weekly chart.
