Priscilla Chan initially debuted in November 1983 as a three-person female music group "Girls Magazine" at the same time as Lai Zhishan and Chen Lemin. The album of the same name "Girls Magazine" was released on January 15, 1984. She became an instant hit with her debut song "Lost Promise" and turned to independent development. The first solo album "The Feeling of Story" released during the Fa Anli period achieved excellent platinum record results, and the songs "Love in the Glass Window" and "Flower Shop" were very popular. In 1986, due to the reorganization of Fa Anli, Priscilla Chan joined PolyGram and was arranged to collaborate with producer Ou Dingyu to release the album "Rebel". The song "Dancing Street" was particularly popular, and she has since become a first-line singer. Subsequent songs such as "Silly Girl" and "Where Do We Meet in Life" are all classics in the Chinese music scene. The album "Forever Your Friend" was released on July 25, 1989. PolyGram held a record celebration event at the end of August 1989 to award 5 platinum sales. In September 1989, Polygram announced that during the same period, Alan Tam's "The City of Love" had sales of 7 platinums (350,000), and "Forever Your Friend" was 5 platinum (250,000). , and in the end, the annual sales volume of "Forever Your Friend" is estimated to have exceeded 7 platinums, and it was certified by IFPI as the highest-selling album of 1989. The first famous songs "Night Machine" and "Qian Qian Que Song" are even more popular in the Chinese community. Priscilla Chan won many important awards in the music industry for her song "A Thousand Thousand Songs", which established her immortal status as a "grand diva" and held her first solo concert titled "When Will We See You Again" at the Hung Hom Stadium. In early 1990, he took a break from the music scene to study in the United States. During this period, he briefly returned to Hong Kong several times to record albums. The album "Come Back" released in 1992 sold 150,000 copies (triple platinum) despite almost zero publicity.
