Chinese pop star crossing over and currently Top 10 on iTunes. This is a bop.
It says she's signed to Montage Records, but I can't find anything on them. It can't be Montage Music Group out of Nashville, right?
(UGH I meant to post this in Non-Singles bc I don't think it's gone for adds. Sorry.)

7. Jane Zhang - Dust My Shoulders Off (feat. Timbaland) For everyone who doesn't know Jane: she is a Chinese popstar who will have her debut album in English soon. This has just entered Top 10 iTunes. It was out of the top 10 then randomly it's increasing like this out of nowhere? Did she perform? What happened? Where did she come from? Just heard about this: She and her husband and team are literally buying THOUSANDS of US iTunes accounts by the minute. They did the same thing in China too, buying thousands of copies of her own album to inflate the sales figure to fool people into thinking she's relevant. I just checked her forum on Baidu and it seems like her fans from China are really organizing a campaign. Scroll down to the 5th post: tieba.baidu.com/p/4816706571This is so...  |

Well, they've played thousands of dirty gossip to create buzz before the single release, don't think Timbo's team would be happy about that (or would be happy?). LOL. |

The song is harmlessly catchy with a weirdly intriguing video
I'll take it.

I actually kind of like this. Probably has a high burn rate but it's harmlessly fluffy.
Also glad they didn't try to give her some kind of sexed up Asian Lolita look in her first attempt at a cross over

I heard this in a TV ad this week in the US, but didn't get the chance to see what it was for.

Why hasn't this debuted on the hot 100? Is it because of the fraud?

It would be nice to have this turning out to be some sort of hit.

I'm honestly hoping this flops since the only reason this took off at all was because of fraud.

Pretty sure this will flop and it's time is gone, and that's it's fraud and such
But I like the song

Fraud? What are you guys talking about? When this made the top 10 on US iTunes, it was a co-ordinated effort orchestrated by Chinese fans using fake accounts to buy thousands of copies of the song. Read above, it's been discussed up-thread.  |

Read above, it's been discussed up-thread.  I had skept the first posts before.. lol that's why I deleted the post. Well, for what it's worth, I'd never have known about this song if it hadn't made to top 10 on iTunes and triggered my curiosity and I actually liked it.. I guess it kind of worked in the sense of giving it some kind of exposure.. |
