Sammi Karaoke Chart-Topping Hits (Mandarin: 鄭秀文：冠軍卡拉OK) is the second Mandarin-language video album by Hong Kong singer Sammi Cheng, released by Warner Music Taiwan on November 13, 2001.[1] The video album contained Sammi's the ten number-one singles on the Taiwan Cashbox Mandopop Karaoke Chart.
Background
After Taiwanese media had formally referred to Sammi Cheng as the ‘Karaoke Queen’ for her karaoke‑friendly hits in late 2000,[2] Warner Music Taiwan released Sammi Karaoke Chart-Topping Hits to commemorate the success of her single "Overjoyed (眉飛色舞)", which topped the Taiwan Cashbox Mandopop karaoke chart for 20 consecutive weeks and remained on the chart for a total of 60 weeks.[3] [4]
Promotion
Warner Music Taiwan did not actively promote the video album. In North America, however, YesAsia carried online promotional advertisements for the release, including pre‑order information.[5]
A second edition was released in July 2002 as a limited edition with updated packaging and formal promotional materials. Warner Music Taiwan described Sammi Cheng as a trendsetting diva whose status as the ‘Queen of Electronic Dance Music’ was firmly established. Fast-tempo tracks and choreographed dance songs were said to frequently appear on Mandopop karaoke charts, while her ballads were praised for their distinctive vocal style. Promotional copy referred to Cheng as the ‘Karaoke Queen of Electro Pop’ and highlighted songs such as "Overjoyed" (眉飛色舞), "Waiting for You" (癡癡為你等), and "Can’t Let You Go" (捨不得你) as must-request karaoke selections.[6]
Singles
In addition to "Overjoyed (眉飛色舞)", which topped the karaoke chart for 20 weeks, [7]the album features "Out Bound" (出界) , which topped the karaoke chart for 8 weeks and "Promise" (承諾) , which topped the karaoke chart for 6 weeks, both of which were major karaoke hits in Taiwan.[8]
