Jay Chou (Jay), after nearly four years, released his new album Son of the Sun on the 25th of this month. Upon release, it quickly dominated digital charts, with all top ten spots on the new song rankings monopolized by Jay’s tracks. Digital album sales have already surpassed 2.5 million copies, generating revenue of NT$460 million (approximately MYR 57.43 million). As expected, 'only Jay Chou in 2026 can surpass Jay Chou.' Indeed, Jay’s very existence is like a 'walking money printer.'
Jay’s latest album Son of the Sun features 12 brand new creations plus the bonus track ‘Christmas Star’ for his fans, for a total of 13 songs. The physical album is exquisitely designed, with the outer box resembling a European classical carved window. The album cover features gold stamping on the logo and border, creating a radiant ‘sunshine’ effect. Opening the carved window box reveals an envelope-style sleeve housing an 'unframed painting' cover and a small canvas, presenting the album’s concept of 'masterpiece' and 'framing creation,' making it a prized collector’s item for devoted fans.
Jay has already released music videos for the new songs 'Son of the Sun' and 'Gold Rush Town.' He pays close attention to fan feedback on his music, saying yesterday, 'I'm happy everyone is enjoying the songs. It seems a lot of people like 'It Was Raining That Day.' Currently, 'It Was Raining That Day' tops the new song charts on multiple digital platforms.
