List of best-selling albums in Taiwan

Edit links
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is the list of best-selling albums in Taiwan since the 1990s. Seven domestic albums and one international album have shipped over a million copies in Taiwan. Hong Kong singer Jacky Cheung is the best-selling artist in Taiwan, with three albums sold over one million copies, while Taiwanese singer A-Mei is the best-selling female artist in Taiwan. Taiwan's album sales peaked in the 1990s, but it was adversely affected by the copyright infringement and Internet downloads since the 21st century.[1][2]

Sales certifications in Taiwan are awarded by the Recording Industry Foundation in Taiwan (RIT) since August 1996.[3] Sales figures for records released prior to 1989 are not included in this list due to unavailable statistics.
