Album edit

The album was marketed with the "拼什麼" (What Am I Fighting For) track, which was rather unconventional, as he often markets an album through a dance piece. The music video for the second lead track "獨一無二" (Only You) was released nine days later. The video consists of dance piece choreographed by Shaun Evaristo. It was reported to have costed NT$5 million to create European scenery and to debut the "Anti-Gravity filming technique".[4]

Reception edit

The album debuted at number one on Taiwan's G-Music Top 20 Weekly Mandarin and Combo Charts, and Five Music Chart at week 8 (18 to 24 February 2011) with a percentage sales of 74.6%,[5] 48.43%[6] and 78.8%[7] respectively. Suppressing fellow artist Jolin Tsai's record at G-Music Mandarin Chart of 68.11% for Butterfly in 2009 and became the highest debut week percentage sales in the chart's seven-year history. As of 3 March 2011 the album has sold 103,628 copies.[8]

The tracks, "獨一無二" (Only You) and "拼什麼" (What Am I Fighting For) are listed on the Top 20 Gold Songs of the (January to June) 2011 Global Chinese Golden Chart.[9] The album is the best selling album in Taiwan in 2011, with 150,000 copies sold.[10]
