Growing Wild (Chinese:野蛮生长) is the 8th studio album released by Li Yuchun (a.k.a. Chris Lee) . Instead of a CD including a dozen new songs, Li broke with tradition by separating the new album into four EPs."The idea for the new album started two years ago. At that time, I just followed the traditional pattern of selecting new songs and put them into an album," Li says.What inspired her to break the album into four segments was that "usually we pick up one or two songs as the leading tracks, which then tend to overshadow the other songs," Li says. "But I like all 12 new songs very much and couldn't decide which one should be the leading single. So why not introduce them to the fans three at a time?" The first EP "Wild" (野 yě) of Growing Wild was sold more than 3 million copies in the 16 days following its release in May 2016. For comparison: the current No. 1 on the US Billboard chart, Drake's "One Dance," has sold only 1,442,000 copies in twice as long; Beyoncé's Lemonade sold just 974,000 copies in the two weeks after its surprise debut in April 2016.The selling volume of the "Growing Wild" have exceeded over six million and sold over 30 million yuan on Nov, 27.Total sales of "Growing Wild" were more than 6.5 million copies, grossing over 32.8 million yuan ($4.73 million) in 2016. According to Andy Wai Lam Ng, the vice-president of Tencent Music Entertainment Group, Growing Wild achieved China's highest digital music sales since the company released the first Chinese digital album in December 2014.
