    Joey Yung and Eason Chan’s albums have both respectively become the best selling album for the female and male singer of this year. Not only are both of them proud of their achievements, there company are also very happy.

    Eason said that from what he has heard, his latest album has sold 40 000 copies. He is extremely happy about the CD sales because in today’s music industry, it is hard to sell a lot of CDs. Some of Eason’s good selling albums include, ‘Happy Ferris Wheel’ and ‘Karaoke King’. To have kept such a high number of album sellings, Eason said that he must have a great bunch of fans.

    Rough translation of 2 articles.

    Most recent reports show the Top 4 Album Selling Males.
    1. Eason Chan
    2. Jay Chou
    3. Hacken Lee
    4. Leo Ku

    Reports point out that Eason's newest album "How?" has sold 40,000 copies and his newest cantonese album "U87" sold 30,000 copies. Eason says he's happy about the news but it does not compare to album sales 5 years ago. Because of the good album sales Eason plans on treating collegues to dinner.

    Eason will hold 6 concerts between February 11 & 16, 2006. The title of the concerts will be "Get A Life". Which in English slang stands for take hold of your life, don't have dark and hopeless thoughts, but rather turn to the bright side of things.
