Born to Be a Star is a greatest hits album by Taiwanese singer Jolin Tsai, released on November 12, 2004, by Universal.[1] The album features 29 songs and 15 music videos from Tsai's discography during her time with Universal.[2]

Critical reception

Tencent Entertainment commented that Magic (2003) and Castle (2004) propelled Tsai to become one of Taiwan's top-selling artists. In response, Universal released a "reheated leftovers" compilation album at the end of 2004, featuring 29 of her earlier tracks. The release also included a DVD containing nearly all the music videos produced during Tsai's time with Universal, reigniting market interest once again.[1]
