Background and release

edit

In March 1999, Tsai signed with Universal.[3] During her time with the label, she released four studio albums: 1019 (1999),[4] Don't Stop (2000),[5] Show Your Love (2001),[6] and Lucky Number (2001).[7] These albums achieved commercial success in Taiwan, with sales surpassing 450,000 copies for 1019,[8] 500,000 for Don't Stop,[9] 260,000 for Show Your Love,[10] and 150,000 for Lucky Number.[11]

On November 6, 2001, Universal released Together, a compilation album featuring 16 tracks from Tsai's time with the label. The album also includes 14 music videos and behind-the-scenes footage from the making of Lucky Number.[2]

Critical reception

edit

Tencent Entertainment's Shu Wa commented: "Jolin Tsai's first greatest hits album, which features sixteen tracks that nearly encompass all of her major singles from her time with Universal. The release of this compilation coincided with a period of contract disputes between Tsai and her management company. Additionally, the inclusion of fourteen music videos was a significant draw at the time."[1]
