Tips

usage
传唱 implies oral transmission - songs being passed person to person, generation to generation, especially folk songs and ballads. Common collocations: 广为传唱 'widely sung', 千古传唱 'sung through the ages', 传唱不衰 'sung without fading'. Compare 传播 ('to disseminate') which is the general 'spread' verb without the singing component.
