Joey Yung is definitely not considered as Queen of Cpop. She's only popular in HK, and is pratically unknown in the Mandarin market. In fact, her Mandarin album flopped.

As for Jolin, I don't think she's up there yet. 'Princess' is more suitable for her.

I can't believe no one has mentioned Anita Mui yet. She wasn't just huge in HK, but in the Mandarin market as well. When she died like 2 years ago, there was a picture of her in one of our English newspapers (Toronto Star) and she was labelled as the "Madonna of the Chinese speaking world" or somewhere to that extent.

Kelly, Sammi and Faye are also Queens of Cpop as well. Their one of the few females that can hold a vast amount of concerts in the Mandarin market and in the Cantonese market.

How about Stefanie Sun? I think she (and her music) are well-received throughout the Chinese speaking world.

Why would she make a Cantonese album though? She only made the Cantonese version of that song to tie in with her 2 HK concerts. There really wouldn't be a point in releasing a Cantonese album since the market is so small and plus Cantonese isn't her first language...

Well I read that Sammi was suffering from depression.... But, she appeared as a guest to HOCC's concert in HK last night, and newspapers said that she was pretty high while performing.
