There You Are Achievement
Celebration
Jessie Chung Receives Outstanding
Achievement Award in the Music Industry
HISTORIC MOMENT A MALAYSIAN CHINESE HAS MADE IT INTO #2!
**************************************
After wrapping up her radio interviews and
launching show in Taiwan, Jessie Chung returned to Malaysia to attend the
achievement celebration organized by her record label.
Darren Choy,
Managing Director of Warner Music Group Malaysia & Singapore and Chairman
of the Recording Industry Association of Malaysia and Tan Sein Way, Future
Entertainment & Music Group Australia representative, presented Jessie with
the Outstanding Achievement Award in the Music Industry.
What Jessie Chung has achieved with her
album There You Are is nothing short of miraculous, she has
done the impossible, for a Malaysian artist at least. Her new album has
recently shot right up to the most influential and authoritative chart in the
Taiwanese music industry, Five Music, debuting at number two on the Top 5 Chart
for international albums.
Five Music’s Top 5 Chart is the leading Taiwanese
music chart and the only chart in Taiwan solely based on album sales. Jessie is
confirmed to be the first Malaysian singer to squeeze into this prestigious
chart, overtaking Australian artist Sia, who is currently at third place, and
placing right next to Lady Gaga, who is barely ahead by two points.
Indeed, her
album has placed among the works of elite international stars, and this is just
the beginning. As the first Malaysian artist placing in Taiwan’s international
chart’s top five, Jessie Chung is no doubt Malaysia’s pride and glory!
There You Are has so far sold more than 10,000
copies, and that is already an amazing feat in its own right. To encourage
Jessie to soldier on and put on her best fight in next year’s tight schedule,
Future Entertainment & Music Group Australia and Warner Music Malaysia
honoured her with the Outstanding Achievement Award in the Music Industry,
ensuring that Jessie’s There You Are will soar on to greater
heights!
Managing Director of Warner Music Malaysia, Mr.
Choy, expressed that Jessie Chung has been doing an incredible job in the music
industry, and her accomplishments so far had been universally recognized.
Surprisingly, in less than two months, the music videos for Jessie’s singles
“There You Are” and “Drive My Heart” both surpassed a million views on YouTube.
As for her third single “Someplace Honest”, it reached 800,000 views in merely
a little more than a month. At the currently rate, its view count should be
able to shatter the million mark sometime next week, the results will surely be
even more surprising and awe-inspiring!
In his
speech, Darren Choy said entering into the international English-speaking
music scene is a great challenge per se. Many artists, when faced with
adversity, choose to back off and give up, but Jessie is different. She has
valiantly overcome so many obstacles, and has successfully become the first
Chinese Malaysian to enter into the top three positions of an international
English chart.
Unfortunately, Gary, the CEO of Future
Entertainment & Music Group Australia couldn’t make it to the achievement
celebration. To congratulate Jessie on her achievements and efforts so far this
year, he recorded a video for everyone at the celebration to watch.
In the
video, he revealed that Jessie will be flying to South Africa to promote more
of her work in February next year, then fly to Europe and North America for
further development.
Jessie Chung expressed that she was astonished and touched upon
receiving the Outstanding Achievement Award in the Music Industry. Though it’s
not an Oscar, it represented her Australian record label and Warner Music
Malaysia’s deep love and approval for her, and that means a lot to her.
In a
self-depreciating joke, she stated she has been very uncomfortable with
her blonde, side swept fringes and wanted to change her style in the next
album. However, her Australian manager insisted she keep her blonde
hair since the Taiwanese media is very fond of her golden style. Jessie could
do nothing but keep the style at his bidding.
Besides celebrating the astonishing results Jessie and her brand new
album has attained, the company also took the chance to appreciate Jessie’s
efforts and accomplishments this year.
In early 2016, Jessie Chung’s Exquisite
Chinese Orchestra Concert sold out all ten performances in West and East
Malaysia and was a hit among the show biz. Her recent stage production
Moonlight was also well received by public, and it also sold out all ten
performances around the country.
At the same time, a series of campaigns for
Jessie in Malaysia and Taiwan were all roaring successes with launching shows
nationwide and abroad, including Kuala Lumpur, Kuching,
Penang and Taipei, Taiwan. The events
received widespread enthusiasm from fans, filling the venues
on every occasion.
As for future plans, Jessie Chung said her record label has
arranged eighteen launching shows nationwide and she will be going to
South Africa in February to promote her work.
In April 2017 she will hold two solo concerts and Jessie’s schedule is full at the moment as she has to
rehearse for her new stage play Music Box and prepare for the
production of her next album. As a result, her record label has decided to push
back the plans in China.
As for her next album, Jessie reveals her Australian director plans to capture scenes of her standing on top of a light house in her
new music video. She has already recorded three new songs and will travel back to Australia to continue recording and filming her new
music video.
Her next album is set to be released in January next year. During
the celebration, the organizers brought the attendees a surprise when they
premiered the music video of “Forever Young”, a single from her next album,
causing a wave of excitement and shrieks among the crowd!
Finally, the organizer also gave away an iPhone7, Huawei Honor 8, and a
Burberry diamond watch to the lucky winners of the music video giveaway
contests of Drive My Heart and Someplace Honest. Jessie Chung International Fan
Club members also took the opportunity to give Jessie their presents to
congratulate her.
PROOF POSITIVE!
