Sun's subsequent studio albums My Desired Happiness (2000) and Kite (2001) were also successful, with both selling over 300,000 copies in Taiwan. Her first three albums are all some of the best-selling records in Taiwan in the 21st century. Her compilation album The Moment (2003) sold over 1.5 million copies across Asia and produced the hit single "Encounter". Stefanie (2004) went on to sell over 2.2 million copies across Asia and won her another Golden Melody Award for Best Mandarin Female Singer. By 2007, five of Sun's studio albums had each sold over 1 million copies in mainland China.
One of the best-selling recording artists from Singapore and in the Chinese speaking world, Sun has sold over 30 million albums throughout her career. She has embarked on five concert tours since her debut in 2000, with the Kepler World Tour (2014–2015) attracting a total of over 760,000 people.
