Highlights: Jay Chou 's 15th album "'s greatest work " since his debut will be released on July 15, 2022. The MV for the song "Great Work" of the same name was released on July 6. Jay Chou invited piano master Lang Lang to participate.

Non-famous entertainment critic Wu Qinggong pointed out: Jay Chou and Lang Lang's "playing piano" in the MV has become a good story. And this piano piece is also included in this album. "The Greatest Works" contains a total of 12 tracks, including 1 piano performance Intro, 6 new songs, and 5 previously released songs.

These 5 songs are "Waiting for you to get out of class", " If you don't love me, pull down ", "I believe so much", "Mojito", " said yes, don't cry " (a duet version with Mayday, lead singer Ashin ). A new album only has 6 new songs, and it needs to use 5 old songs and a piano song to make up the number. Netizens have questioned whether Jay Chou has "exhausted his talent"?

I don’t know if Jay Chou is a gangster, but he is still the “king” of the Chinese music world, and he is the “only king”. On July 6, on a certain digital music platform, among the top 100 songs with a surge in playback volume, 95 were songs by Jay Chou. Jay Chou's previous songs were really good, but his current songs are not so good, which is actually normal.

Take Jacky Cheung as an example. He is a singer in the Chinese music scene, but have you heard the songs he released in the past 20 years? Most of Jacky Cheung's most popular songs were released before 2002. Can you say that Jacky Cheung has exhausted his talents? He is not a singer-songwriter. His songs are all written by others, so "talent" has nothing to do with it.

Jacky Cheung has singing skills, while Jay Chou has talent. Jacky Cheung can constantly find new creators to help him write songs, but there are still few songs that can surpass his previous old songs. Therefore, it is understandable that Jay Chou's new songs are not as good as his old songs - because times are changing.

In Jacky Cheung's era, everyone listened to music with a tape recorder, and the songs were released in the form of "tape". In Jay Chou's era, everyone used CD players to listen to music, and the songs were released in the form of "CD". After entering the "MP3" era, Jay Chou is still the king. But it doesn’t work anymore. Now is the era of short videos, and few netizens listen to songs attentively.

Eason Chan has a very popular new song " Lonely Warrior ", but this song is also popular on short video platforms - it has become the BGM of many videos. Just like the ratings of current TV series, they will never be as good as those of previous TV series, because fewer and fewer people watch TV series on TV. Jay Chou can release 6 new songs at once, which is already better than many so-called top traffic.
