2005最倒霉: 孙燕姿令人惋惜
在女歌手方面，尽管蔡依林翻身后的第三张专辑《J-GAME》非议众多，但依然显示了其强劲的后劲，在下半年持续热卖，终于夺得第二。而被誉为2005唱片市场最大黑马的杨丞琳成为了第二大卖的女歌手，位列第五。
令人惋惜的依然是孙燕姿的表现。这位前几年只要发唱片必入三甲的女歌手虽然新专辑《完美的一天》依然保持了相当高的水准，却因种种原因在台湾地区销售大滑坡，仅以1.59%的份额排在第11位，甚至不敌排名第10的王心凌。Twins的首张国语专辑《见习爱神》成为香港歌手唱片在台湾地区卖得最好的一张，排在第19位。
孙燕姿：“不知道歌迷们要听什么”这就是孙燕姿对自己专辑在台湾地区销量不如预期的直接回应。现在到年底了，我们或许可以告诉孙燕姿歌迷们要什么，但是这对孙燕姿来说估计也是悲多喜少。一片耍可爱的唱片市场已经离孙燕姿的个性唱腔越来越远，而让孙燕姿耍可爱的话，这“可爱”给人的感觉只能是两个字：“装的”。已经被定型的歌手，在今天这越变越快的歌坛，如果指望咸鱼翻身，难度可想而知
For Taiwan G-music, Yanzi’s album was ranked at the 11th. This is much to a surprise to all the others as Cyndi’s Honey album was ranked at the 10th, YangChenLin’s 暧昧 was ranked no.5, and Jolin’s J-Game was ranked no.2.
When asked why her album did not sell so well as expected, Yanzi said she do not know wat does her fans want from her albums. It seemed tat “Cuteness” is the selling point of Chinese female albums, but this selling point is also drifting further away from Yanzi’s special and “got style” singing. If Yanzi was to have a “cute” album in future, it would only show tat she is “acting cute”. Because Yanzi’s image is not so, and it will be difficult for her to excel in her future albums.

(I guess many of Yanzi’s fan would not want her to change her image. We all like her as she is, no matter now or in future.)
yesh! that’s true!
we’ll always stay the same. the one and only sun forever!
aiyo .. g music not surprising la.. cos warner din do a good job promoting the album in the long run .. so after 4 to 5 weeks, the % dip like siao…
as for sg sales.. not bad le..in fact its consistent… alot of places sell her parallel imports n the ads came so late .. ppl almost din noe she got release album.. as for meimei, her lao shu ai da mi is very much cheaper rthan most album n the song is very well recieved .. so no surprise at all…
Actually i think for spore is because of the parallel imports. They are selling the parallel imports for so cheap.
i think that we must support her not matter what lor .We have to make sure that her next album will be selling well lor .if not , i believe that Stefanie will be in great pressure lor.We must all buy the original and promote it to the friends around us lor.Don know la .Juz hope that , the next album will be promote more so as to create publisc awarness.
I believe there are die hard fans that have kept Yanzi accompany throughout these years. Certainly,there are also attrition rate meaning fans have changed their preference & expectation and have stopped listening & purchasing Yanzi’s albums. I have many collection of Yanzi’s CD, VCD & DVD (kARAOKE)as well since “Tian Hei Hei” until “A Perfect Day”. If more of Yanzi’s fans are working adults, perhaps buying 1 or 2 CD is not a problem. However, when the majority of her fans are students with finance resources limitation, they would have to make a choice whether to buy Yanzi’s CD or other new popular singer’s CD. With more and more new artists coming up, people pick and choose what they like to listen.
I think Singapore’s sales are not reflective on Yanzi’s popularity because it’s so insignificant. SG market is mainly dominated by Playmusic’s aggressive advertising. But the taiwan’s chart is the one to be worried. Usually Yanzi’s sales are just slightly below Jay’s but this time, it’s quite far down the chart. Really hope Warner will do something about it. I mean..come on, how can Yanzi’s album sell lesser than Cyndi’s???
dun worry too much bout the sales le .. we all noe the reason.. yanzi noes the reason ba.. except she dun voice it our directly…
publicity is very impt . thats all i can say.. thats y rainie n cyndi r sellin better in tw.. for singapore, ppl r still supportive… even slyvester is not in the charts lei.then its oso cos of parallel imports.. without the parallel imports, she wun lose lose out to joi de..
next album sales will be very different if she change comapny.
Change company?
Is Warner really tat bad?
I also dun know la. =/
warner used to be not bad de.. but this 2 years dun noe wat they r doing man..like lost of focus…n oso like slowly neglecting yanzi n other shi li pai singers….
in the past , their publicity not bad de.. like the my desired happiness n kite period.. but after the 1 year break, things changed… like cut budget a lot… n warner dun have the habit of promting more than 6 songs.. unlike other record labels…taiwan market counts a lot on publicity n packaging de.. singapore market oso.. u see ah, if everyday u c an artiste album ads on tv, wun u feel tempted to buy after sometime as u will feel that the songs r nice n the album is worth listening? tv ads really make a bug diff de.. n dun forget bout auto sessions… cos fans will take this period to buy more albums to let her sign.. so if there is a lot of auto sessions, her album can stay longer on chart… eg r jolin , rainie n xiao zhu.. they have lots n lots of auto in tw…
I really agree with what u all said about yanzi’s record company. POOR advertising style for yanzi album (完美的一天)last year.
Warner really thought they can earn money by not managing the publicity of yanzi’s album well enough. POOR POOR MANAGEMENT & Marketing stratey especially in Taiwan. They should have more yanzi auorgraph sessions for TAIWAN fans when the market there is so big. DUUNO WHY what they did in Taipei was only a “one-DAY screen house” session. Did they really think that just by doing this can boost up sales in that region already?
Well Well Well for me, as long as I support yanzi’s NICE songs and but her CDs, I will be contented. BUT I am super afraid that WARNER (and the media as well) will PUSH all the blame to yanzi’s popularity and CLAIM that she herself is the cause and she is losing her fame! >:
That is NOT TRUE man! We all support her but there are other people out there who wtill buy CDs when they hear enough promotion advertisement about a CD before buying it. For example, i have frens who bought CaiChunJia’s YouYiTianWoHui when they heard it on TV mobile commercial!!! So u see, Warner needs to do more on publicising its artiste album! Save $ also cannot save until like that mah!
Right now, i see more of SK jewellery ads then yanzi’s album ad last year. Even a jewellery company also knows how to capture customers’ attention than Warner (an international company)! More exposure and album ads is what Yanzi needs for her 10th album….
Warner Taiwan, pls Fan2 Xing3 awhile. Dun think it’s yanzi’s fault, she sang really WELL but it’s the marketing department not doing the work well.
PS: Perhaps promoting more “commercialized” song as zhu da ge is a way to attract many those non-yanzi’s fan who will still buy her CD if they like the particular song.
Please do not download music illegally from the internet or buy piracy CDs or parallel import. It will give a false negative sale record figures. We may not be as comparative as other countries but at least we do our bit to support our very local artists.
To every man his own sake. SK jellewery is promoting agressively for their own sale too. Warner only do well in promoting new comers, old folks in warner…forget it. Not many are around.
很好呀,,,很不错哦,,,支持下啦
