China Entertainment 1997.

Chapter 471 There is no singer in the world who is more suitable for singing the Olympic theme song than Cao Xuan

Throughout May, Cao Xuan stayed honestly in the filming crew of "Painted Skin", but he was not in Jianghu, but there are still legends about him in Jianghu.

A few songs from "Legend" are still hanging on the billboard champion in turn, pressing all the songs under him.

The closest ones are Justin Jia's hit single and Beyoncé's new album, but the highest ranking is only a third and a second.

These two songs were also champion singles in the original time and space, especially Beyoncé's "Irreplaceable", which dominated the Billboard Top 10 Singles Chart for [-] consecutive weeks, which can be regarded as her masterpiece.As a result, he is now suppressed by Cao Xuan, and there is no hope of winning the championship in a short time.

Speaking of Beyoncé, the comprehensive index is still very strong. She was born in the super popular girl group [Destiny's Child] in her early years and made a big name in the American music scene.

In 2003, the "Destiny's Child" group disbanded, and after her solo career, her career has reached a new level, and she can be regarded as one of the female singers who have achieved great momentum in the past two years.

At present, Beyoncé's position in the American music scene is basically at the quasi-diva level, and she can even be called a queen. As long as she releases another album to consolidate her position, she will be safe.

Under such circumstances, I don't know whether it's my arrogance, or the company behind it has a brain twitch and wants to step on Cao Xuan's position.

Under the premise that many singers have begun to avoid "Legend" with their new songs or albums, Beyoncé actually released the new album ahead of schedule and launched an attack when Cao Xuan was at his peak.

In fact, the standard of Beyonce's new album is still very strong, threatening "Legend" to a certain extent.

At its peak, it reached No. [-] on the Billboard album chart, and No. [-] on the Billboard singles chart. Although there is still a certain distance from "Rolling in the Deep", which won the championship at the time, it still gives people hope.

But unfortunately, "Irreplaceable" lasted for 3 weeks in the second place, and Cao Xuan's champion song on it was changed to one, but Beyoncé was firmly under the pressure.

In the end, Beyoncé's popularity declined, and the song slipped from No.2 to No.[-]. Once the momentum stopped, it would be difficult to boost her momentum.

The queen of the United States did not realize her dream of stepping on Cao Xuan's position. Instead, like Niu Jie, Justin and other well-known singers, she became Cao Xuan's stepping stone.

Beyoncé's fate also woke up other singers, and many people who were still in the wait-and-see period also began to adjust the schedule of new songs according to the official announcement.

Justin mentioned above originally planned to release an album in the near future, and the good performance of the songs on the charts also gave him confidence.

But looking at Beyoncé, who had a better record than him on the charts, and the tragic situation of being suppressed after the new album was launched, she gave up decisively.

Without the threat of new songs, "Legend" has a more comfortable life on Billboard.

Since Valentine's Day on February 2, when "Legend" won the Billboard double chart, until the end of May, for a total of 14 weeks, the Billboard Top 5 Singles Chart has not changed albums.

On the contrary, the Billboard Top 12 albums list, due to the fact that the new album is easy to break the list in the first week of its release, did not win all the championships in the album list during this period, and only won [-] weeks.

Among them, the 16-week Billboard singles chart champion is divided into 5 champion singles, and the number of weeks varies.

The song "Monsters" is the least, only 1 week.

The most popular song is Adele's classic "Rolling in the Deep", which has won the championship for 7 weeks.

"What are words" ranked second with a total of 4 weeks, "Roar" and "Skin" were 2 weeks each.

But when it comes to Cao Xuan’s Billboard singles chart, it’s “Sugar” that won the most.

It won the championship for 11 consecutive weeks, and it can be ranked No. [-] in the history of Billboard Singles Chart.

Moreover, the MV of "Sugar" is still the video with the most hits on the Internet in the United States and even Europe and the United States, even far surpassing the second place. It is still one of the must-have mood songs for many weddings around the world.

This cannot be said to be a global hit, but to go out of the circle and engrave it in the DNA.

Perhaps in a few years, the influence of this song will become more and more ingrained. When I think of weddings, I think of this song.

Cao Xuan has released dozens of English albums, but only two of them can really reach this level.

One is the wedding anthem "Sugar", and the other is the 2002 World Cup theme song "Waving Flag".

It ranks among the classic football-themed tracks, and it became popular as soon as the World Cup came.

For example, the 2006 World Cup in Germany is about to begin, and Cao Xuan’s copyright income from this song has also skyrocketed. It’s not an exaggeration to say that if you talk less in a day, you will have a small six-figure figure, and all the money you earn will be 【刀乐】 .

Cao Xuan wished that every day was the World Cup, where he could watch the football and make money while lying down...

These two songs, even if the album "Legend" is so popular, I dare not say which one of them can be more popular than them.

Although "Rolling in the Deep" is gaining momentum, but with other songs on the album sharing the traffic heat, it may be difficult to surpass the 11 weeks of "Sugar" in the number of winning weeks.

But even so, with the 16 weeks of "Legend", plus the 11 weeks of "Sugar", and the 2 weeks of another champion song "Free Loop", Cao Xuan's cumulative number of winning weeks has reached 29 weeks.

You know, Michael Jackson has only won the championship for 37 weeks, and Cao Xuan's "Legend" has not yet passed its peak, and there is a certain hope that it will surpass the other party.

Maybe, Cao Xuan can't be the singer with the most Billboard number one songs, but he can be the singer with the most number one weeks on the Billboard singles chart.

But the difficulty is not small, and others are just fine. Niu Jie, who was ranked first in time and space, has won the billboard champion single for 80+ weeks, and there are old-age songs that are constantly updated every year. Cao Xuan is not even half of her. .

Of course, with Cao Xuan now, it's hard to say whether Sister Niu can reach 80+ weeks of winning the championship. For example, some time ago, her champion single was forcibly overtaken by Cao Xuan.

One ebbs and another, who knows what will happen in the future!
But no matter what, "Legend" hit the charts with its first song in early January, and the album was released in mid-February. It has been popular until the end of May. It has been almost half a year, and there is no obvious weakening trend.

The sales volume is even more terrifying. The cumulative box office of digital albums and physical records has approached 2000 million, and it currently maintains the annual sales champion in nearly double-digit countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Singapore.

With this data, the 2006 global annual sales champion has been stabilized.

Even now it is not a global sales champion, but it is very likely to become the highest-selling record since the 21st century, and even hit the world pop music sales list.

As of 2006, among the albums released after the new century, there are about ten sales ahead of "Legend".

They are all the pinnacle of singers such as Eminem, Britney Spears, Avril Lavigne, Backstreet Boys, Linkin Park and so on.

Eminem's "The Slim Shady LP", which ranks first, is officially certified to be about 3200 million. Of course, the specific data may vary, but it will not be too much.

It can be said that since the beginning of the new century, the top 2000 album sales are basically around 2004~[-], which is also the peak of music sales.

In the later streaming media era, because of the convenience of the network, many things can be fragmented.

Including albums, many fans only buy individual singles. This has led to singers in the streaming media era. Many singers can sell more than [-] million singles, but the overall album sales are obviously inferior to those of the singers at the beginning of the century.

The only one who can break this shackle seems to be Adele.

Her two albums "21" and "25" have accumulated more than 2000 million physical and digital albums, of which "21" seems to have reached 3400 million+, surpassing Eminem and becoming the highest-selling album since the new century.

Cao Xuan's last album "Release" sold about 2000 million copies, ranking No.13 in the new century sales list.

Moreover, driven by the current "Legend", there is still a certain increase. The next few albums are relatively tight, and they may be expected to enter the top ten in the future.

As for the album "Legend", the sales data is just close to the top [-], but the momentum is strong and the potential is amazing.

No one thinks that 2000 million is a difficult threshold for it to cross, and even 2500 million is difficult to stop.

Many people in the industry even directly concluded that "Legend" will become another album with sales exceeding 3000 million.

Under the current market trend of the fusion of physical albums and digital music, and the continuous decline in album sales, "Legend" may become the last glory of pop music album sales.

When "Legend" hit the billboards, everyone was shocked and shocked, but they didn't fully realize the full power of this album.

With the passage of time, the performance of "Legend" is getting better and better, and its influence is getting bigger and bigger, constantly refreshing various records and achievements.

Many people realized how powerful this phenomenal album is.

Some professionals believe that if "Legend" is not in the decline period of the record market, but in the golden age of the market in the last century, and the singer is not a Chinese, the sales volume of this album is likely to become the top five or even the top three. exist.

This is an afterthought. If "Legend" appeared in the golden period of the market, facing the gangsters of the last century, the results may not be as impressive as they are today.

There are not so many ifs in the world, no matter whether the ending is good or bad, it is an unchangeable fact that "Legend" appeared in 2006.

Cao Xuan finally waited for the era of smart phones and mobile phones, because he didn’t want to go to the last century to play Big Brother again...

At the same time, it is worth mentioning that the sales volume of "Legend" is approaching 2000 million, making Cao Xuan's total personal sales successfully break through 8500 million+ copies.

Among them, "Release" has sold almost 2000 million copies, the first EP English album of the same name has sold 1000 million+, and the cumulative total of the three English albums alone is almost 5000 million.

And Cao Xuan has a total of six Chinese albums, with a cumulative total of almost 3500 million+.

After all, "Bright Stars" alone has exceeded 1000 million copies, and "Stars" and "Twinkling Stars" have also exceeded 500 million copies each.

The 2000 million+ genuine sales of the Fanxing Trilogy are officially certified by the International Recording Association, and it is still a peak in the Chinese music scene that countless people look up to.

And Cao Xuan himself has been certified by Guinness World Records for album sales, such as the Chinese singer with the highest album sales, the Asian singer with the highest album sales, the singer with the highest Chinese album sales, etc.

Cao Xuan didn't remember exactly how, but there are more than a dozen world records scattered and scattered, basically all of them are world records in the Chinese music scene and the Asian music scene.

Although there are also world records in the international music scene, they must be prefixed with an Asian or Chinese.

The reason why Cao Xuan certifies this Guinness World Record is mainly to follow the arrangement of the company to further consolidate his position in the music scene. After all, the Guinness World Record is still very bluffing.

This is normal in the entertainment industry. Zhang Tianwang, Guo Tianwang, Cheng Long, Liu Tianwang, and Wang Fei have all interacted with Guinness World Records.

There are also many foreign stars. For example, Michael Jackson went to London, England in 2005 to participate in the certification of Guinness World Records.

Stars have world records as a staged achievement, and there are hype gimmicks to consolidate their status. The Guinness World Records are also affected by the spread of stars, and the two parties are mutually beneficial.

Cao Xuan is not very interested in the Guinness World Records, except for a few chats, the rest is tasteless, recording for the sake of records.

In terms of record sales, what he really values ​​is the official certification of the International Phonographic Federation.

With sales of 8500 million+, he is just one step away from the billion-level club.

If you are lucky, the album "Legend" is enough. If you are not lucky, you will definitely make it to the next album.

As for the singers and groups certified by the International Phonographic Federation, the clubs with billion-dollar album sales can be counted on two hands, and most of them are ancient masters.

If Cao Xuan can be listed among them, according to Westerners, he can be called a "great singer".

The "great" Cao Tianwang is regarded as a peerless genius by countless people in the world, let alone in Asia.

Cao Xuan even strongly suspects that if he dies young and dies at the peak of his life, he may be directly enshrined as a god and be looked up to by countless latecomers, and Michael Jackson may be ranked behind him.

After all, Michael Jackson is almost 50, while Cao Xuan is only in his thirties, young means unlimited possibilities.

Frankly speaking, Cao Tianwang was tempted for a moment, but he soon came to his senses.

It's good to be a living legend. I have two wives and tens of billions of assets, so I can't do anything exciting...

The popularity of "Legend" has made Cao Xuan's status rise steadily, and he has become one of the most popular singers in the world right now, and he can even temporarily remove one of them.

The huge popularity made Cao Xuan even more popular.

The top variety shows, interviews and events in the United States and Europe have continuously sent invitations to Cao Xuan.

Not to mention in China, Chen Luyu from [Really, I don’t believe it] sent emails eight times a day, and even went to Fanxing Building to invite her, but she was still declined.

The album is still hanging on the bulletin board, so Cao Xuan is not particularly keen on consolidating his popularity.

The main reason is that his traffic is high now, and everyone is staring at him. Cao Xuan is afraid of being poached, so he plans to deal with it in a low-key manner. He pushed a lot of interviews on the grounds of filming.

Seeing that the Olympic Games are coming soon, Cao Xuan has made such a big achievement, and he is giving the country more and more face. Naturally, he also has other resources to support him.

It is precisely because of this that Cao Xuan decided to keep a low profile and postponed many interviews.

After all, he doesn't know whether these foreign media are friends or foes. They may use this to dig holes for him and take out of context to discredit the Olympics or the country.

There is also an invitation to watch the ceremony from the German World Cup Organizing Committee, which has both the opening ceremony and the final.

Cao Xuan didn't have time to go to the opening ceremony, and planned to go to Germany to see the final. Although he already had an ending in his heart, as a fan, it was still difficult to bear the temptation of going to the World Cup final.

I don't know if Zidane likes his own song or not, otherwise if he snatches the off-field jersey, it will be the real out-of-print of the opponent's career.

It's worth the effort to hammer the head one by one...

The 2002 World Cup Final Kaka's final jersey is Cao Xuan's best football collection so far, and as Kaka becomes famous, it becomes more and more amazing.

Even the last time he tricked Ronaldo into agreeing to give him a hat-trick game ball, he was ranked behind. After all, Ronaldo has many hat-tricks, and Kaka only had one World Cup final.

If it is Ronaldo Manchester United's hat-trick game ball, maybe it can barely fight.

After all, Ronaldo has completed two hat-tricks at Manchester United, one of which will be in 2022.

But even if you can't get Zidane's jersey, it's good to get a few other signed jerseys. In the future, if you have nothing to do, you can open a live broadcast on the Internet to post your collection, and keep the envious fans screaming.

In addition, there is an invitation, which cannot be said to be an invitation. It should be said to go to the official to receive a certification in person.

National first-class actor!
To be precise, there is no word [country], it is just a professional technical title. The reason why it can be named with the word [country] is because it can receive subsidies from the XX Institute.

There is not much money, but it is a kind of official recognition, belonging to the senior professional and technical talents in the national literary and art circles.

At present, Wang Fei, Cheng Long and other Xiangjiang actors have not been certified, and Cao Xuan is also able to apply because of mainland literary and art workers.

It is worth mentioning that originally, Cao Xuan had to postpone the rating of a first-class actor for two years. The reason why he got it earlier this time is because of his outstanding contributions.

This outstanding contribution is not to kill the Quartet in the world, of course there is such a part of the reason, Cao Xuan's information has an explanation on this point.

It's just that the real core is that Cao Xuan himself participated in the major projects of the Beijing Olympic Games and made outstanding contributions——

Not only has he served as the art consultant of the expert committee, but Cao Xuan is also the promotion ambassador for the Beijing Olympic Games.

The "Beijing Welcomes You" he created for the Olympic Games was officially selected by the Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee as the main promotional song, and another song entered the final selection stage of the Olympic theme song.

At the same time, although it has not been officially confirmed and announced, the above has basically confirmed that Cao Xuan is the singer of the Olympic theme song.

Let's put it this way, one of the tasks of the director team led by Lao Mouzi is to design a program around Cao Xuan and the Olympic theme song.

This is the lineup of the world's top superstars!

The leaders of the Olympic Organizing Committee are actually very happy. Before, they thought that their own artists were not enough, and they wondered whether they should invite top singers from other countries to help out.

Don't worry now, Cao Xuan is the world's top heavenly king, and he is a native Chinese. There is no singer in the world who is more suitable to sing the theme song of the Olympic capital...
