In Singapore, the album sold 600,000 copies and still holds record as Singapore's best selling album in any repertoire. In Malaysia, the album is said to had sold more than half million copies,^[6] and continues to hold the record for the best-selling non-English international album there (by comparison, Malaysia's highest selling album sold more than 700,000 copies).
