周杰倫 蔡依林 2003銷售天王天后
Jay and Jolin are the king and queen for the best selling albums...
Translation: moonsilk - www.jay-chou.net

總結2003年唱片總成績，只有五個字「持續不景氣」，唱片界估算，總業績從
前年的44億，掉成40億，又下跌了10 %，唱片市場這般低靡中，「亞洲天王」
周杰倫和「少女殺手」蔡依林，還是相當厲害，各自新專輯銷售量，都衝破30
萬張，在十大專輯銷售排行榜上，稱王封后。去年，新新人類新流行的手機鈴
聲Ring Tone，年度十大暢銷排行榜中，人氣偶像團體S.H.E唱的「IOIO」則奪
得第一名。
周杰倫聽到自己得第一名，直嚷說，「多叫點菜，慶祝一下」。

Results of the album selling in the year 2003 is not good.There has been a significant drop in terms of profits earned. The profits earned this year was 40 billion compared to last year, 44 billion. There has been a 10% drop in profits. "asian king" Jay chou and "queen" Jolin are the ones that are better off as their albums had been sold for more than 30 thousand copies. Among the top 10 for best album selling, Jay is the king and Jolin is the queen. As for the most popular ring tones, the song IOIO from S.H.E is first.
When Jay knows that he was top for best album selling, he celebrated by treating others to dinner and asked them to order more dishes.

從2003年十大唱片銷售排行榜的名單中，看出樂壇趨勢，創作型的歌手陶喆、
周杰倫、五月天，還有偶像型唱將蔡依林、5566、ENERGY及S.H.E、梁靜茹，這
些新「聲」代歌手，已出頭天，昔日印象中的「天王」和「天后」，留住了口
碑，市場上的銷售，則悄悄退位了，「港星牌」在台灣的唱片市場也不靈!
From the results of the best in album selling, the more popular ones are from taiwan and they are JAY, Mayday, Jolin, 5566 etc...
Those who are recognised as kings and queens from hong kong in the past are now outdated.

台灣的音樂，一直居亞洲華人音樂領導地位，十大「唱」銷專輯中，除了孫燕



姿和梁靜茹來自星馬，周杰倫、蔡依林、5566、ENERGY、五月天、S.H.E、陶
全都是「台灣之光」，透過歌聲，他們的音樂，已從台灣出「輯」，跨海到大
陸拍廣告、作演唱，音樂的版圖再擴大到全亞洲。
From the best album selling results, besides sun yan zi and liang jing ru,who are from singapore and malaysia,the rest are from taiwan.Blah blah blah blah....

很巧的是，從十大「唱」銷歌手名單中，很巧的是，每家唱片公司都有一個
「寶」，新力唱片是蔡依林、華納是孫燕姿、EMI則是陶喆、環球唱片是
ENERGY，本土的華研唱片是S.H. E，滾石則有五月天和梁靜茹。

唯一美中不足的是，2003年各家國際公司花千萬砸大錢，培養的新人，除了華
納唱片力捧的「麻吉」，綻放光芒，只他全都沒起來。

2003年台灣唱片市場又掉了10%，大陸彼岸的盜版少了一點，整個唱片市場卻大
幅上揚，國際唱片公司一切「看數字」的情況下，國際唱片公司對台灣市場的
投資的空間，也逐步在壓縮，倒是，從去年底，華納和新力唱片已在北京、上
海辦大型演唱會，逐步看出，國際唱片公司對大陸這塊大餅，已展開布局了。

[yiwen]

hahahaha...i love the part about jay treating them to dinner and asking them to order more dishes. so cute!

Jay did much better than jolin!! besides, jolin owes her success to jay anyway, so jay is the biggest winner of the day!!! :D yayy!

[HeY_JaYz]

well... i have diff opinions frm all of you..
i think Jay and Jolin shld be together...
good for them if they are alwayz in de news together.. (^^)

[Mushimushi]

Well, no one can stop all these rumours.......

YAY...Jay is the King of asia!!
I totally agree...
Actually, like what miao said, i didn't know that Jolin's album, sold quite a lot, really quite surprising to me!

[Evenstar]

That's great :excited: !!!
I had no doubt Jay was going to top the charts again...Only Jolin owes a lot to Jay....No hard feelings.... :happy:

[phoebe]

jay's fans will buy jolin's album to listen to jay's music but jolin's fans normally do not know how to appreciate jay's type of music - no offence to jolin's fans .

[vunsin]

King and Queen?!?! :rasp: Jolin doesn't deserve to be called a queen of any kind. :dry: She's nothing compared to other female artistes with real talents! :-x Maybe they just made that up so they could put her name next to Jay's and create more rumors. :shifty:

[princess_xixi]

yes!
jay is the king from the beginning and he knows it!!
but also congrats to jolin,,,,she did very well

[hAz3|]

King and Queen?!?! :rasp: Jolin doesn't deserve to be called a queen of any kind. :dry: She's nothing compared to other female artistes with real talents! :-x Maybe they just made that up so they could put her name next to Jay's and create more rumors. :shifty:

yaRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr i totally agree with ya! What queen of asia? :-x she doesnt have any real talents other than wearing skimpy clothings and dance to attact others.. bleahs :bigyuck:

[jaycee]

thanks for the news moonsilk!! i also was not surprised that jay's album topped the selling charts so congratulations to him!! his way to celebrate is so practical ... who would mind eating a few more dishes?! among those new "kings and queens", jay has got to be the most talented one. who can beat composing, writing lyrics, and producing all in one album? as for jolin ... i personally don't recognize her as a queen :dry: somehow i just don't get that impression from her ... and i'm super sick of always seeing her name linked to jay!!!

[Sakura]

Yes. Jay! :love:

Go Jay.. JOlin ar....oh well, I think her songs are ok..but she are not that good enough to be 'Queen Of Asia'.

Thanks for translating Moonsilk!! :D Although I know Chinese..:rolleyes: cause it's not easy to translate:wink2:

[fangtasyz]

congrats jay! it doesnt surprise me the least that jay got no 1 for the best selling album..jolin's success in her new album owed it to jay's genius..that's why she can get first.. and i cant stand why the media always have to tag jay's name with jolin..very irritating... :dry:

[knock]

Congrats for Jay! May he be the king always! :)

And Jolin, Queen of Asia?! PUH-LEASE!!! Tt's totally digusting!! :crazy:

[bluehawaii]

yeah!! It's good news 4 our.
jay rock U!!! :excited:
i agree with mioa. I don't think jolin's albam has a lot of sell.
how it's possible!! :glug:

[coldmetaljay]

Good job Jay!!! We know you can do it!!! Feeling so happy for Jay!! :happy: As for Jolin, maybe her album sold so good is partly because that Jay helped her to write songs for album. Without those catchy songs Jy have written for Jay, I will not thnk that her album will sold so well :wink2:

[kewlpiggy88]

think of it this way - jay is king x 1 1/2 because a lot of jolin's songs have jay's influence whether it be lyric writing or song writing or whatever. so harharhar. i think u mean 300,000 copies because "30 萬張" isn't 30,000. one "萬" is 10,000.

[xJayChoux]

Congrats to King Jay! :flowers: He really deserves it to be called like this. As for Jolin, no way you're gonna be my queen or anyone else's queen. Her album only sold so good because of JAY'S work in it...*stupid cow* :dry:

[jess_jay]

Congratulation to Jay...as what i've expected,King of Asia~~

but..... :-x "Queen of Asia"? for Jolin???arh..... :crazy: r them crazy?is that no other name except this? dun think she is eligible for this name~i think most of it is becos of jay,so that her album got such goood result~

i will never agree she is queen of asia.... :-x :-x

[dazzlette]

yea Jolin had much help from Jay.. i heard that because of the popularity of 'shuo ai ni' she managed to sell another 10 000 plus albums... and i think it's true!! 'shuo ai ni' was very big in Taiwan and Singapore.. it's such a nice and catchy song!! i'm sure if another singer sang it it could be even bigger!!

[Pugwash]

Thanks for the news!

Great to know that Jay's sales went up as the industry went down. Not surprised that Jolin's album sold a lot. I don't find her songs THAT bad.

[hanhney_bear]

The fall of music sales may have been because more and more people are choosing to obtain their music from the net than rather buy 'em from the market. I'm not sure on this one but it's just a theory that I have on it.

However, with Jay's successful music sales, I suppose it's because we all love him to the point that we support him by buying every bit of thing that has to do with him; Jolin is very advantageous. :?
