Local idols such as Jay Chou, Jolin Tsai (double J), ??S.H.E and 5566 are proud of themselves, pushing out the kings and queens of singers who used to dominate the list one by one.

Double J not only supports each other emotionally, but also makes no concessions in career, and continues to win the first and second place in the annual rankings. The two major male and female idol groups, S.H.E and 5566, have performed even better this year, each ranking two to three times. The age group of record consumers has been decreasing year by year. Marketing strategies such as record revisions, cover changes and bonuses have a great impact on sales figures. Influence. It is worth mentioning that local queen Zhang Huimei did not make it into the top twenty.

Based on the current average of one record Judging from the budget of 15 million yuan, the record company must sell at least 80,000 copies before it can make a profit.
