Every single line in Jay Chou's song "Rosemary" ends with the "ao" sound:

We call it 单押 in Chinese，which means that sentences have the same or similar vowels between sentences. The end of each sentence has the same vowel. It's a type of rhyme scheme，not a type of music though. You can find it in many types of music.

Here's some other examples:

  • 东风破 (by Jay Chou),
  • 一路向北 (by Jay Chou),
  • 禅舞不二 (by Wilber Pan).
