... that Huang An's 1993 album, New Dream of Butterfly Lovers, sold 1 million copies in Taiwan, and 6 million worldwide?
Alt 0.1 ... that Huang An's 1993 album, New Dream of Butterfly Lovers, sold 1 million copies in Taiwan, and 6 million worldwide, making it one of the country's best selling albums?
Alt 1 ... that Huang An's criticism of the K-pop singer Chou Tzu-yu for waving a Taiwanese flag on South Korean television led to his public video apology just before the 2016 Taiwan election, sparking an outrage in Taiwan?
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: - Offline/paywalled citation accepted in good faith
Interesting:
QPQ: Done.
Overall: I added in a Alt 0.1 hook as it would make the hook seem more interesting, maybe selling 1 million albums may seem ordinary to an average mainstream musician but I can't speak for other countries. I also added another in case reviews won't accept YLQ sourced hook. 2074 characters (336 words), NPOV, adequate QPQ and because I had to review via Google Translate also I assume YLQ is a news wesbite, I have to give it a AGF pass.

@Donnie Park: Thanks for the review. I'm crossing out ALT1 because a similar hook was run a few days ago for the Chou Tzu-yu DYK, and it may be unduly negative for the Huang An BLP, per WP:WIADYK. -Zanhe (talk) 19:53, 18 February 2016 (UTC)
Please note that you should make it apparent that the new hook needs reviewing.The addition of "making it one of the country's best selling albums" is not referenced with an inline citation at the end of the sentence. We can either go with the original or wait until the alternative hook is referenced. JollyΩJanner 04:41, 27 February 2016 (UTC)
You only needed one of these as a source as the text is the same. Like it was last time, I used Google Translate, which gave the statistics though it didn't gave a proper translation. I may as well give it a pass, I'm just waiting for @Jolly Janner: opinion. Donnie Park (talk) 20:48, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
Looks like it's ranked number 10 according to the inline cite. Might be worth mentioning the ranking number in the article to supplement the hook. Either hooks are fine. JollyΩJanner 21:03, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
@Donnie Park: I added two identical sources in case one goes dead (which happens often which Chinese-language websites). @Jolly Janner: I added the ranking to the article per your suggestion. Thanks! -Zanhe (talk) 17:57, 4 March 2016 (UTC)
