Regine Velasquez
The Philippines
NUMBER ONE
MUSIC POP ARTIST!
Let the numbers do the talking . . .
'R2K: The Concert' is most successful concert series
for a Filipino artist in a non-holiday period . .ever.
It sold out both it's dates
with more than 35,000 seats taken.
Though officially 'R2K: The Album' is reported to have
sold
more than 120,000 copies the real number was estimated
to be more than 350,000 copies! (and climbing . .)
UPDATE-11/15/00 -600,000 PLUS+ (conservative estimate)
Meanwhile since that last report (about
4 months ago)
Regine's record company added another platinum- (4x)
for a total 160,000 copies sold . . only?!!
Do the words 'what-a-rip' mean anything ?
R2k:The Album has not left the top 5 of several
major
music charts since it first was released. That was
than 11 months ago!
Meanwhile, a new album was
released and her Christmas album had to be pushed
to Christmas 2001.
Regine has a presence
in 4 albums in the
Top 20
all at the same
time recently!
Outstanding . .
Regine is
just about to release her
2nd album in less than
3 months
Now get ready for what may be
the best selling album
of Regine's career
for many years to come -
REGINE VELASQUEZ
" L I V E "
This one's going to be the
'Monster' . .
Can Viva say the words-
" higher royalty
percentage? "

_______________
R2K: The Video was recalled throughout the country
when it was learned that it had a misprint. It wasn't
the concert but her videos that came with
the R2K CD and the making of those videos.
Though Regine is considered the best live concert artist
not only in the Philippines but throughout Asia, BUT she has
never had any of her concerts officially released on Video.
Back in the early 90's Regine
was mentioned
as one
of only
three artists who can sound
just as good live (if
not better)
as she does on records. The other artists were
Michael Bolton
and Barbra Streisand.
(
Note:
M. Carey was not around yet.
)
It is said that
singer COCO LEE
sold
more than
6 million albums in
Asia
We now have reason to believe
that Regine's Asian releases
combined sold just as much
Both COCO LEE
and MARIAH CAREY
heard some of Regine's
music
While REGINE
was thought
to be copying CAREY
when
one of her videos was made
to paid tribute to CAREY
(One of Regine's idols.)
It's COCO
who was called
'Mariah-be' by the press
for releasing an album that
sounded definitely CAREY
Meanwhile, CAREY
is being
sued . . for a song that
incredibly sounds like
REGINE's first Asian
number one song-
" In Love With
You "
How you do like them apples . .
