In just one month, Jay Chou, the ‘King of Mandopop’ and the latest global ambassador for DIOR, has seen his influence skyrocket across the globe.
His recent ‘Carnival’ world tour in Bangkok, where he showcased stunning custom DIOR outfits, combined with the release of his first-ever Christmas-themed single, ‘Christmas Star,’ has firmly established Jay as a global pop sensation.
The release of ‘Christmas Star’ was a pivotal moment, marking Jay’s significant impact on the global music scene. The single captivated millions worldwide and highlighted Jay’s talent for blending Eastern and Western musical styles. Its music video, set against the beautiful backdrop of Europe, quickly racked up over 1.45 million views within the first 14 hours, a testament to its widespread appeal.
Jay’s international presence was further solidified when YouTube Music decided to broadcast the ‘Christmas Star’ video on colossal outdoor screens in major cities like New York and Los Angeles, effectively turning it into a global Christmas anthem and reaching audiences beyond the Mandopop genre.
Moreover, Jay’s recent concert tour in Thailand, which attracted a record-breaking crowd of over 70,000, underscored his undiminished popularity. His last album, ‘Greatest Works of Art,’ made significant waves in the music industry, breaking into the top 10 of the IFPI 2022 Global Artist Chart and topping the Global Album Sales Chart for the first time. His ventures into film and art, including roles in ‘The Green Hornet’ and ‘Now You See Me 2’ and collaborations with renowned auction houses Christie’s and Sotheby’s, exemplify his limitless creativity and dedication to his craft.
CNN International’s special New Year’s Eve interview with Jay highlighted his extraordinary trajectory and global impact. His fans around the world are eagerly anticipating more innovative works that promise to continue reshaping the global music and cultural scene.”
