With fewer rivals including rumored ex-boyfriend Jay Chou, Jolin Tsai claims first place on 2009 album sales charts. Her album “Flower Butterfly” sold 130,000 copies and was the only album this year that broke the 100,000 mark. Following in second place, Fahrenheit’s “Love You More and More” sold 60,000 copies. Show Luo’s “Trendy Man” and Wang Lee Hom “Heart Beat” tied for 3rd place, each selling 50,000 albums. Fish Leong closed out the top 5 with “Fall in Love & Songs”, selling 45,000 copies.Taiwan’s Apple Daily newspaper made these conclusions based on the business reports released by the record companies. They started to count record sales for albums released this year. Wang Lee Hom and Show Luo, who both released their albums in December of last year, were included. Jolin Tsai’s “Flower Butterfly” was confirmed to be this year’s champion in record sales. But when she received the news overseas, Jolin exclaimed: “Really? First place? Thank you everyone, next year I will challenge the stage again.”
Compared to Jolin’s 2003 hit album “Magic” sales of 350,000, her CD sales have decreased by 220,000 copies. This shows that the public’s way of purchasing music has changed drastically. Fahrenheit’s second place sales of 60,000 copies shows that the music industry is shrinking. Yesterday, Fahrenheit commented: “Good results are an encouragement, we will continue to work hard.”
As for Show Luo, his popularity has continued to grow year by year. His new albums bring better sales than the previous ones. Last year, Show’s album placed 9th. This year, Show has risen to 3rd place. So he said with confidence regarding the music industry: “Even though it is a little depressing, we’ll still find a chance to start anew.”
