Some have pointed the blame to Wu’s fan clubs who have been found on Weibo rallying fan members to purchase songs multiple times to help boost the album’s rank.





However, as one fan pointed out, the sales should still count as valid as it is normal for some fans to sometimes make multiple purchases to support their idol.





“The sales results could be very authentic. It is normal for Kris’ fans to make purchases several times per person to support their idol. They can afford it,” a fan surnamed Hu told the Global Times.





Some Wu fans found the accusation to be ridiculous and unfounded as no evidence have been forwarded so far.





“It’s low key xenophobic to accuse a Chinese artist of cheating with no evidence and disregarding his large fan base in his home country, “ Twitter user Parisweenter wrote.





“You simply can’t see a non-western person succeed especially if your it hurts your western favorite.”
