Kapanlagi.com - Songs by musician Maia Estianty are being sung again by top singers in the country in the album Masterpiece Maia Estianty released in November 2020. Apparently, the album is highly sought after by the public. In fact, within less than a year of its release, Maia Estianty's work has sold 500,000 copies.

"I just found out that the sales have reached 500,000, especially in the current (Covid-19 pandemic) situation. For me personally, who has retired from the music industry and is now only a judge, having my work sung by others and still being sold makes me very happy," said Maia Estianty at KFC Kemang, South Jakarta, on Wednesday (16/6/2021).

The mother of Al, El, and Dul didn't expect that the Masterpiece Maia Estianty album would sell up to 500,000 copies. Many people still appreciate her works even when sung by others.

"My work didn't stop when I said I retired from music, it continues to go on," she said.

Throughout her career in the Indonesian music industry, Maia cannot remember exactly how many times she has achieved records, especially in album sales. What is clear is that, throughout her music career, the wife of Irwan Mussry has achieved records several times. Whether it's with Duo Ratu or Duo Maia.

"I forgot about that, hehe. But alhamdulillah, since the first time I appeared during Pinkan's era, I already received platinum, during Mulan's era I also received platinum with Meichan, and also with Pasto.

"Apparently, everything I touch becomes a blessing for others as well. Actually, it's a pity to leave the music world, but I was already bored with the artists I managed. Alhamdulillah, the sales were good, but considering the current COVID situation, selling 500,000 is already extraordinary," added Maia.
