Question

How much do you know about Top Combine (至上励合 TC) the popular boy band? After two months of training in South Korea the five boys are back with their latest album Grandness Equal to Heaven (《齐天大盛》). They showed up in Beijing to promote their new record. Hundreds of teenagers screamed in excitement when they saw their idols.

“I was blown away (被……征服) by this album. I knew TC would improve after going to South Korea but I couldn't have imagined it would be so nice ” said a fan after she listened to the album.

Each of the boys has put something of themselves into the new album from Zhang Yuan's soft voice to Ma Xueyang's talents composing and writing lyrics. Their hit song Grandness Equal to Heaven is a creative mix of moving rhythms and traditional musical instruments including flute (笛子). A teenage fan says that Top Combine's new album helps him get through all his tests.

Although they tried to be China's No 1 Motivational (励志的) boy band Top Combine's debut in October 2008 was not a big success. The band's first EP Arrival was not immediately popular. People accused the band of being unoriginal. They said TC was just like a South Korean boy band because their fashion sense and music style were similar to those bands.

But they didn't give up. Now with their new album their hard work looks like it's paying off.
