Jacky Cheung Hok-yau (born 10 July 1961) is a Hong Kong singer and actor. Dubbed the "God of Songs", he is the best-selling music artist of all time in Taiwan and Hong Kong, with sales of over 60 million records worldwide. His first album Smile (1985) sold over 300,000 copies in Hong Kong and his second album Amour (1986) sold over 400,000 copies, earning a multi-platinum certification from IFPI Hong Kong. After a period of declining sales in the late 1980s, The Goodbye Kiss (1993) sold over 4,000,000 copies, becoming one of the best-selling albums in Asia. In 1995, his albums sales exceeded 5,000,000 copies, making him the second highest-selling artist in the world that year, behind Michael Jackson. Cheung has embarked on ten concert tours, with the 1/2 Century World Tour (2010–2012) setting a Guinness World Record for the largest audience for a live act in twelve months. A Classic Tour (2016–2019) became one of the most-attended concert tours of all time, drawing over 4.5 million people.
