List of best-selling albums in Taiwan
This is the list of best-selling albums in Taiwan. 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]
