    Taiwanese Singers Selling Well in Hong Kong

    In the recent years, Taiwanese artists have been working in the Hong Kong market and producing as much albums as Hong Kong’s native artists. Out of all Taiwanese female singers, Rainie Yang’s “Meeting Love” (遇上愛) and SHE’s “Once Upon a Time” (不想長大) have sold the most, with both albums selling 20 000 copies. On the other hand, the Taiwanese ‘Queen of Pop’, Jolin Tsai’s popularity in Hong Kong continues to rise as she recently held a concert in HK but her album sales have been ordinary. Her album “Dancing Diva” (舞孃) has only sold 12 000 copies.

    As for male singers, Jay Chou has topped Hong Kong sales charts, beating many popular HK singers and levelling Hacken Lee. While Fahrenheit’s self titled album have sold the same amount as Wang Leehom, 20 000 copies.

    I guess thats not necessarily a bad thing, doing in well in places where they would conventionally not be as popular.
    Jay Chou for one is definitely talented.

    Good hope to hear more from taiwan singer hong kong singer seems to lost control now days putting repeat songs in a few album very costly to keep up with them when most of the album only had 50% new songs

    Didn't know Fahrenheit could sell so much albums... I've listened to their music before and didn't like it

    I guess it really depends on personal preference, I personally love the song that Fahrenheit did with Hebe.
