On December 26, Czech television channel ÓČKO TV aired the year-end episode of ÓČKO CHART featuring Dimash Kudaibergen. The recording took place on November 21 in Prague, just before Dimash’s solo concert. DimashNews previously covered the artist’s meet-and-greet with fans prior to the shoot.
Welcoming Dimash, the show’s host remarked:
“Here, among your closest friends and fans, I’d like to say that your achievements in this chart are extraordinary. Firstly, you’re the only artist who hasn’t lost a single week. Secondly, you’ve garnered the highest number of votes among all artists over the years. You are the absolute king.”
Dimash was the chart’s winner in 2021 with the song “Be with Me”, claimed the top spot in 2023 with “Together,” and achieved victory again in 2024 with his new piece “When I’ve Got You.”
Dimash thanked his fans for their support, sharing his joy at meeting fans from different countries of the world at the event.
The host expressed amazement at the incredible bond Dimash shares with his fans. The broadcast included footage of Dimash’s interaction with fans before his 2022 solo concert in Prague, where he sat on the roof of a car, signing autographs and chatting with Dears.
Before presenting the 2023 winning music video, Dimash revealed that the composer of “Together” was his younger brother, the talented musician Abilmansur Kudaibergen, and he extended his gratitude to one of Kazakhstan’s finest video directors, Galym Assylov.
Czech journalists were intrigued by a special gift Dimash received from President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev – a Tazy puppy. They asked whether it was a surprise and if Dimash was involved in training the dog. Dimash mentioned that he had been informed in advance about the gift and that the puppy, Garyshker, was being raised freely.
Receiving a harp-guitar as a gift from fans, Dimash immediately played the beloved song “Makhabbat Ber Magan,” delighting everyone in the studio.
As the winner of ÓČKO CHART for 2023 and 2024, Dimash was presented with a unique commemorative trophy. The hosts revealed the secret of its design – the circle of the statuette represents the visualization of the soundwave from the winning track “Together.” Essentially, Dimash held his song in his hands.
Before showcasing the 2024 winning music video for “When I’ve Got You,” Dimash reflected on the past year. He shared that it had been a great year with much exciting work accomplished and that he had plans for further growth and development in his career.
“The main thing I want to say is: my deepest respect to my fans all over the world. I love them so much. My current position, career, and performances on television and major stages are all thanks to their support.
I want to remind people that the world should be without war. I don’t want to speak much or delve into politics, as I express my stance through my music and performances.
May the Almighty protect each of you. Thank you so much for your support. I’ve gained a bit of fame only because of it. I don’t work with producers; I do everything myself with my family, parents, and friends. All of this happens because of my loved ones and all my fans,” Dimash said in closing.
