Muse is the twelfth studio album by Taiwanese singer Jolin Tsai. It was released on 12 September 2012, by Warner Music Taiwan.[1] The artistically-flavored album actually brought back all the sales that were lost in Tsai's last studio album, Myself (2010).[2] Referred to as a "pop masterpiece",[3] the album houses many tracks that are influenced by the elements of art, poetry, and dance.[2] Critical and commercial response to the album was positive, it has sold more than 100,000 copies sold in Taiwan alone, and became the best-selling album by a female artist of the year in Taiwan.[4] The lead single, "The Great Artist", reached number 2 on the Hit FM Top 100 Singles of the Year.[5] The second track, "Dr. Jolin", reached number 10 on the chart.[5] The eighth track, "Wandering Poet", reached number 24 on the chart.[5] The album earned Tsai four Golden Melody Award nominations for Best Mandarin Album, Best Mandarin Female Singer, Best Music Video, and Song of the Year,[6] and she finally won for Song of the Year for the lead single, "The Great Artist".[7] The album also earned Tsai an MTV Europe Music Award nomination for Best Asian Act.[8]
