I love the fact that Jay is so talented in creating music, not just for himself but also for others. He's really a unique singer! I'm only not happy that he's actually not the top income rank for Taiwanese singers in 2013 and even behind Show Luo and Jolin Tsai!! -> http://jolinjeneration.canalblog.com.../28456883.html
I thought he should earn more than them!! Okay, maybe cos of not releasing an album last year. 
Anyway, I don't really like the both of them, just happen to chance upon that Jolin website when searching for the ranking list. lol. |
Artists in Taiwan nowadays don't get much money from album sales...
Jolin didn't release an album either in 2013 by the way. Most of their earnings come from events, Tours but most of all endorsements, not album sales.
Whether we like him or not, Show Luo getting first is not surprising at all, considering he's been #1 in popularity and sales for years now! He's earning more and more every year. As for Jolin, she remains the #1 solo female artist, so not surprising either. And she has a billion endorsements, that helps a lot.
Jay Chou's details for his earnings in 2013 if you're interested:
-NT$559,500,000 (14 092 911€ or $18,969,057)
-> 10 ads: NT$400,000,000
-> 37 events: NT$129,500,000
-> Movie: NT$30,000,000
As you can see most of his earnings come from endorsements!
