The discography of Ruby Lin, a Taiwanese singer, contains studio albums, repackage albums, music videos, sound tracks and a number of other appearances.
In 1999, Lin entered the music industry with her first EP, "Hearings". Despite having only five songs the EP sold well in Hong Kong and Taiwan; it earned Lin several awards in Hong Kong, including Best Newcomer of the Year.[1] The following year, TVB Solid Gold awarded her its Most Popular New Singer Award and Radio Television HK presented Lin with its Most Promising New Singer Bronze Award.[1] However, due to a conflict between her record label and management company Lin began searching for a new label to produce her next album.[2]
In 2001 (after a two-year hiatus) Lin signed a contract with
At the end of November 2008 Lin returned to music after a further four-year break with her new album, New Rubyology(新如主義). This time, she took an active role in the production process – song selection, recording, and music-video planning – to create an album more representative of her character and style. Behind the album was a production team including Chinese musicians such as Chen Bao Guo and Chen Sun Hua, who previously worked with Jolin Tsai, Elva Hsiao, and Stefanie Sun.[7] Fans and critics observed that Lin's new album showed a more mature and expressive singing technique. Her album cut "Onion Soup" (洋蔥濃湯) led the China Music Song Chart(中国歌曲联) for three weeks.[8] At the 12th M-Zone music award, Lin won the Golden Melody and Entertainer of the Year Awards.[9]
