I would like to know who are current top artists in Taiwan. It's for this project. Thanks in advance.

[clemie186]

i think its like Jolin Tsai, Rainie Yang, Cherry Boom.. and thats all i'm sure that they're taiwanese

[Tonyc402]

Jay Chou , David Tao , JJ lin, Jolin Tsai, Cindy wang?

[kkkkk]

it really depends on what genre, and if you're judging by how many albums they sell.

objectively speaking people like rainie and cyndi are not at the top yet despite their recent popularity.

[dOotsiez]

like what the previous post said, it really depends on the genre. but for pop, i'd say Jay and Jolin (and leehom coz i luv him)

[TrainDriver]

Jay Chou, Leehom, Jolin and S.H.E rake in tons. btw Tony isn't JJ Lin from Singapore?

LOL oh ur rite , sorry i keep thinkin hes from Taiwan hahah..

[ilovethemediator]

Most RECENT Newbies in TW music industry within last year or two (critically praised and popular) are:
1) Rainie Yang Chen Lin
2) Tank
3) Evan Yo

I didn't include newbies that that have not been critically acclaimed for their talent/potential [i.e. 183Club, Fahrenheit], or newbies that have not been very popular with the general public [Lin Yu Zhong, Cao Ge <--though he is getting more recognized, aLin, and so many I can't even remember].

Obvious Cyndi Wang, Wu Ke Qun, Angela etc. are still pretty popular. But the ones listed above have been extremely well received by media critics and general public alike + being new. And of course, S.H.E., Jay, Jolin, Leehom, JJLam, May Day, etc. are still raking in the sales.

[chineseduckling]

jay chou, rainie yang, jolin and i dunno. haha

[TrainDriver]

^^oh yeah forgot about May Day. btw F.I.R is quite popular, but how big are they?

[broken.wings]

Mm....Jay Chou, Jolin Tsai, Rainie Yang, Wang Lee Hom, David Tao, F.I.R., Cyndi Wang...

[SophiaSan]

^
i thought wang lee hom was a mainlander?
xD ok

jay chou, jolin tsai, rainie yang :3
thats all i can think of

[kamui_hime]

nope, lee hom is pure taiwanese =D
jay chou is good, though his earlier stuff is better
is jolin really critically acclaimed? or just popular? same w/ rainie..

i'd say really good artists are cherry boom, gary cao ge, and lee hom, but for the first two idk how popular they are. firs first album was great, the rest of their stuff isn't. i think they're becoming overrated

[SilentDream]

Li Sun Jie, Cherry Boom, Rainie, Jolin, FIR, does Machi count?, Jay, Wang Lee Hom, S.H.E, Tank, Jolin, David Tao, Nicholas Teo, Coco Lee, does Huang Li Hsing & Nicky Lee count?

Erm I'm not too updated with Taiwan music lol

[kkkkk]

is jolin really critically acclaimed? or just popular? same w/ rainie..

at least jolin is more critically acclamied than rainie. i never thought rainie would pass the critics' test. popular, yes. but really good, no.

[Vino de Jerez]

HEYHEY! IM JUST CURIOUS HERE. HAHA NO OFFENCE. BUT I DONT REALLY LISTEN TO CHI MUSIC (:

[Childlike Faith]

^ Uh. Okay.

By the top ones, you mean the talented ones, right? Not the popular ones?

Wang Lee Hom, David Tao, Jay Chou, Machi, Stanley Huang, JJ Lin are all good singers/songwriteres, they have pure talent.

Rainie, Jolin, and Cyndi: I don't think they have a lot of talent, but they're popular.

[pgirl]

Huang Yida, Emil Chou, Guang Liang, Alan Kuo, Liu Geng Hong and Richie Ren are all good singers/songwriters.
for girls i guess, Sun Yanzi, Fish Leong, A-mei, Evonne Hsu and Tanya Chua. maybe Elva Hsiao too.

[MeiNing]

^ ._. those are Taiwanese people???

[iced*chai.latte]

WangLeeHom, David Tao, Jay Chou
S.H.E., Cyndi Wang, Angela Zhang.

God, there are too many to name.
