Jacky (Chinese: 薛之谦) is the debut album by Chinese singer-songwriter Joker Xue. It was released on June 9, 2006, by Sheng Teng and later acquired by Xue's own label Chaoshi Music.[3]

Background

[edit]

Production of the album took six months.[4] Of the ten tracks on the album, Xue composed music for six and wrote lyrics for five, a rare feat for a first album.[5] Musically, the album presents a fusion of Eastern Classic of Poetry and Western R&B elements.[6]

The album received strong support from Shanghai Media Group, who live streamed the press conference.[5]

"Yellow Maple Leaves" and "Return of the Prince" were created by Xue while participating in the singing competition show My Style, My Show.[7] The latter received praise for having a majestic prelude with rich visuals, telling the love story between a prince and a princess during a war.[8]

The album's English title is "Jacky" because that was Xue's English name at the time. He later changed his English name to "Joker" in 2016.[9]

Reception

[edit]

"Serious Snow" performed well on charts and was one of the highest downloaded ringtones of the year.[10] It became one of Xue's most notable works.

Jacky sold more than 200,000 copies within 1.5 month; the success prompted Shang Teng Entertainment to release 10,000 limited edition sets of photobook, CD, and DVD.[11]

Due to high demand, second and third edition were released in late 2006, an unprecedented accomplishment for a new artist.[12] The third edition included the commercial song for Wrigly chewing gum, "Everybody Wants It" featuring Liu Junlin.[13]

Jacky was the best-selling album by a male mainland China artist of 2006.[14] The total sales volume is more than 500,000.[15]
