Since his debut 22 years ago, Jay Chou has owned many well-known classic albums. However, he released his latest album, “The Greatest Works of Art”, in July 2022 for the first time in 6 years. In the first week, the physical and digital sales volume reached 5 million copies, and the estimated sales volume was as high as 7.7 billion Taiwan dollars (about 110 million ringgits).
After knowing that he won the 2022 global album best-selling list, Jay Chou reposted the screenshot of the IFPI ranking on IG, as well as the photo of himself holding the trophy in one hand and showing a proud expression with the other hand. This moment in history is beyond my imagination; thank you, everyone. This No. 1 proves that although songs have language, art does not.”
