China Entertainment 1997.

"Congratulations, Cao."

Cao Xuan, who is in the United States for propaganda, has been congratulated wherever he goes in the past two days.

Refreshing the Billboard singles chart-winning week record is no small matter in itself, let alone confronting two popular superstars, Rihanna and Mu Ye.

It is no exaggeration to say that this time, it was stepping on the heads of these two people and going out of the circle.

Without this head-to-head battle, "Seeyouagain" may not have been low in popularity, but more of it has a huge impact in the field of music.

The public may know and listen to this song, but they may not pay special attention to it. After all, not everyone cares about the Billboard charts, and most people just listen to the song.

However, maybe everyone doesn't care about the list, but they still like to watch the superstars compete.

The three superstars competing on the charts brought a bit of legend to the song, and also let more people know about its achievements on the bulletin board, resulting in a rise in influence and status.

The famous American music media "Rolling Stone" magazine directly announced this year's top ten songs list with half a year left.

Among them, the second to ninth places are blank, and No.1 is "Seeyouagain".

This statement has been recognized by many media.

In terms of song quality, influence, achievements, album/single sales, etc., the results achieved by "Seeyouagain" are insane. I can't say that there is no one before or no one since, but it can definitely be loaded. History of Pop Music.

Anyway, during this period of time, the major American media and music critics were hyping Cao Xuan's new album in different ways.

Not to mention Asia and China, just like the Chinese New Year, translate the news of the Yankee blowing Cao Xuan, and then repeat it yourself, double the happiness.

On June 6, another issue of Billboard Weekly was published, and "Seeyouagain" once again beat Rihanna and Mu Ye's collaborative song to win the championship.

A total of 19 weeks to win the championship!
With only 20 weeks to go, it would be a milestone achievement for Billboard if it succeeds.

The fans of the entire North American music scene and even the world music scene are united.

Some people are very supportive of Cao Xuan's winning the championship and create a super myth, and some people even call on Rihanna, Mu Ye and other singers who are at the top of the Billboard singles chart at the moment, and even Billboard officials stop Cao Xuan.

Even though Cao Xuan is already one of the top singers in Billboard history, they still don't want such a legendary record to be won by a Chinese.

The two sides held their own words, and even caused a certain degree of small-scale scolding on the Internet.

At first, the main European and American fans and netizens participated. No matter how many fans of Cao Juan, compared with the netizens and fans of other singers, they still belong to the disadvantaged group.

Therefore, at the beginning of this scolding battle, Cao Xuan suffered a loss.

Until a large number of fans participated in the war, Chinese, Japanese and Korean fans joined forces, and a group of Assange watched the fun, completely making up for the disadvantage of the number of people, or even slightly exceeding it.

Although the scolding battle inevitably caused some controversy between this song and Cao Xuan, it is undeniable that this matter has also brought great enthusiasm and attention.

Even though countless people support Rihanna and Mu Ye and other singers, "Seeyouagain" has also received concentrated support from Cao Xuan's countless fans.

According to the official statistics of the International Phonographic Association, sales of Cao Xuan's new album soared by 89 copies in just one week.

The digital sales of the single "Seeyouagain" reached a terrifying 392 million, setting new sales records on major platforms.

You know, this data is nearly half a year after the release of the new album, and it has completely passed the outbreak period. More importantly, this data is only for North America.

According to later media statistics, this week's data soared by more than 70% in Asia, Europe, South America, Australia and other regions.

Many Cao Xuan fans do not hesitate to increase the price to order albums overseas, or go to North American websites to buy singles according to the tutorial, in order to increase Cao Xuan's weight in the charts.

Those who have money will pay, and those who have no money will go to the website to provide clicks or radio on-demand rates.

Domestic Weibo is even more (this chapter is not over!)

There are even big bosses who have specially published tutorials to teach netizens how to get over the wall and how to help "Seeyouagain" make the list.

The major Internet platforms, and even the officials, turned a blind eye. They waited until the private tutorials were flying all over the sky, and then they deleted the wall-climbing tutorials. After a week, they started to attack the wall-climbing software.

With the support of Cao Xuan fans and even a large number of Asian passers-by netizens.

The data of "Seeyouagain" that week exceeded the sum of No. 6 to No. [-]. This is the case when many people participated in the blocking. Otherwise, it is estimated that one enemy will be directly opposed to ten, or even more.

In addition to giving Cao Xuan a huge advantage, the above is more to make the bulletin board feel jealous.

In fact, the relationship between Cao Xuan and Billboard has been good in recent years, otherwise it would not have been possible to win so many championships, but with a lot of opposition and controversy, it is inevitable that there will be some disagreements within Billboard.

Bulletin boards are no good.

When Cao Xuan first entered the international market, he suffered a lot of losses and became the second child of the millennium. Later, with a strong counterattack and various kidnappings, coercion and inducement, he reached a settlement with the bulletin board, and the two parties entered the honeymoon period.

But in fact, there has always been a force inside the bulletin board to make waves. Last year, Uncle Bird's "Gangnam Style" failed to win the championship is the best proof.

Cao Xuan's new album is smooth sailing. On the one hand, he is more difficult to deal with, and the bulletin board does not dare to make a bad move. In addition, the bulletin board needs popularity.

Cao Xuan's consecutive championships have greatly increased his own status and reputation, and it is also a good exposure to the bulletin board.

As one of the best singers on Billboard, Cao Xuan is one of the few singers who can bring a lot of attention and exposure to Billboard when he hits the charts.

What can be compared with him is Niu Jie, Michael Jackson, Madonna, The Beatles, etc., or gimmicks such as the melee of the music superstars, and other singers are inferior.

Only when these few sing.The popularity of the bulletin board has risen by several percent, and it has even become the center of conversation in the entertainment industry.

Having tasted the sweetness of Billboard, in addition to Cao Xuan, he also intends to create momentum for other singers. At present, Rihanna is more valued, and he is ready to be the king of the next generation of Billboard.

Not to mention Rihanna, but at this stage Cao Xuan is indeed the singer that Billboard relies on the most. To some extent, the two sides are mutually beneficial and win-win cooperation.

So this is also one of the reasons why Cao Xuan is always at a disadvantage in the bulletin board. The official bulletin board will not cause trouble for him, and even contribute to the flames to a certain extent.

However, this time the impact was relatively large, and there were disputes among the top executives of the bulletin board, but in the end, they stood on Cao Xuan's side.

No way, there is too much attention from the outside world. Well, there may be many people who don't want Cao Xuan to get what they want, but there are also many people who support him.

No matter what the bulletin board does, it will cause backlash. It is better to maintain a tacit understanding with Cao Xuan. On the one hand, continuing the good relationship with Cao Xuan is also maximizing its own interests.

In late June, the new issue of this week's bulletin board concluded that "Seeyouagain" successfully achieved three consecutive championships and won the championship for a total of 6 weeks.

There is no one in the past, and it will be difficult for anyone to come later!
The official bulletin board sent congratulations to Seeyouagain and Cao Xuan on social platforms,

【20 weeks! 140 days!The longest-running single on the Billboard Hot [-] - "Seeyouagain"]

【25 weeks! 175 days!The album with the longest time to win the Billboard Hot [-] - "Ringdonthurtain"]

【14 songs! 70 weeks! 490 days!Billboard Hot [-] Chinese King Chris Cao]

Not only the official bulletin board, but at this historic moment, various media netizens and even many popular singers and music veterans have praised it.

Taylor Swift: "The World's Best (Goat) (Proud)!"

Justin Bieber: "This is my idol, a tribute to a legend!"

Madonna: "Cao's performance is unbelievable, and I regret not having performed together."

Sister Niu: "I am a fan of Cao, I hope he can continue to stay in the music world!"

Ayumi Hamasaki: "Light of Asia!"

Rihanna: "I can't imagine anyone doing what he did, he's like Elvis, Michael (this chapter isn't over!)

A superstar like Jackson. "

Janet Jackson: "He's a good guy, a natural star, and a singer like no other."

Mr. Mu: "I said earlier that this guy is not something ordinary people can stop."

"."

"Seeyouagain" won the championship for 20 weeks, completely detonating all the enthusiasm of the new album in the previous six months, and countless praises flooded to Cao Xuan.

Many words are numb, and even Cao Xuan himself listens to it, but his fans and domestic netizens are singing and dancing.

Many people are thinking about whether Cao Xuan is the number one in the history of pop music.

This conclusion is hardly controversial in foreign countries. Cao Xuan's achievements are extremely outstanding, and he can even become the greatest group of music stars, but there is still a certain distance from the first in history.
However, in China, because there are certain fan filter bonuses, there is still room for discussion, but most people are still relatively objective and calm, and there is no bottom-line touting.

Although it is not the number one in history, it is generally believed that Cao Xuan is the number one superstar in the pop music scene in the past ten years and even the new century.

This statement is hardly controversial in the Chinese music scene, and even Cao Xuan is not in the past ten years, but is undoubtedly the number one in history.

But in the international music scene, this statement is not recognized by everyone.

Britney Britney, Lord Mu, Beyonce, Shakira, Linkin Park, Usher and a series of popular superstars, everyone has their own achievements and peaks, Cao Xuan may have stronger comprehensive ability, but It's hard to say overwhelm everything.

But Cao Xuan's hard power is also on display.

Not to mention the Chinese music scene, there were four albums from 2004 to 2013, including 14 Billboard No. 70 singles, a total of 40 weekly singles charts, 16+ weekly album charts, global total sales of nearly 50 million, [-] Grammys , nearly [-] large and small trophies.

One of the above singers was randomly selected and compared in a one-on-one comprehensive evaluation, all of them were only beaten by Cao Xuan.

Especially in 2006, 2009 and 2013, Cao Xuan was almost invincible in the music scene, even in 2004, his performance was also one of the best.

There is a very vivid metaphor to describe Cao Xuan's true status.

It may be said that he is the best singer in the pop music world since the new century, but many people may not agree, but if Cao Xuan should be ranked second, no one is qualified to be the first.

A second-rate newspaper, a well-known official media in China, used a more appropriate word to summarize Cao Xuan——

【Uncrowned King】

As a Chinese, as an Asian, Cao Xuan will never be recognized by everyone in the world, but in the hearts of many people, he is the king of pop music since the new century.

On June 6, Cao Xuan went to the headquarters of the International Phonographic Association to receive the new album "Ringdonthurtain".Diamond disc certification (22 million copies).

This is Cao Xuan's 8th diamond album certification.

The first certification was his first EP album "ChrisTsao", which was also the first diamond album certification in the whole of Asia.

After that, the second English album "Release" won 2, the third album "Legend" of Fengshen got 3, and the fourth album "Qing" stumbled and won 2.

Looking at the follow-up trend, "Ringdonthurtain" still hopes to get another one.

In addition, Cao Xuan's Chinese-language album "Bright Stars" has been ground to 900 million+ over the years, and he may not be able to get another certification for him in the future, let alone Cao Xuan has his last album.

Cao Tianwang feels that his personal diamond album has a high chance of breaking through double digits.

He hoped that it would be a double-digit number, so that he could align it when he hangs it on the wall, which is more friendly to his obsessive-compulsive disorder.
At the certification site, Cao Xuan accepted an exclusive interview with Rolling Stone magazine after taking a group photo with the leaders of the International Phonographic Association.

The editor-in-chief of "Rolling Stone", who is the guest host, was very curious about Cao Xuan's thoughts on the achievements of the new album: "Have you ever thought that "Ringdonthurtain" will perform so well?"

Cao Xuan told the truth: "In the beginning, I was very confident in this album, but its results are still not finished (this chapter is not over!)
672 The Uncrowned King? Best Singer of New Century Pop Music

It was beyond my expectation.

Especially "Seeyouagain", I never thought that a song could have such dominance, and I had to be annoyed that it didn't repeat the brilliance of one single and five crowns (laughs).

"At the same time when the album is hot, there are also many people who have raised objections. They think that your dominance is not conducive to the vitality of the pop music scene. A good atmosphere should flourish."

"maybe."

Cao Xuan shrugged, if it was before, he might have argued a few words for himself, but now he is bearish.

"Whether it's good or bad for the music world, it's not something I can control. I would like to express my sincere thanks to all those who support and love me. As for the rest, I have decided to retire anyway, no matter whether the impact is positive or negative, this issue It won't bother everyone."

The editor-in-chief of "Rolling Stone" sat up straight, with a complex and regretful expression, and said in a reserved tone.

"The new album is doing so well, did you make a decision to delay or not to retire, as far as myself and countless music lovers are concerned, we really do not want to see a legend leave."

"Thank you. I appreciate the compliment."

Cao Xuan's expression was straight, but his tone was firm: "I will not change this decision. The future of the music world belongs to young people."

The editor-in-chief was very sad: "Trust me, Cao, this is news that many people are unwilling to accept."

"I'm very sorry."

Cao Xuan folded his hands to express his apology, but still insisted on seeing it: "There is an old Chinese saying that there is a banquet in the world. It is time for dessert. My era has come to the countdown. I hope I can do it in other places. Make everyone happy."

The exclusive interview of "Rolling Stone" is divided into two versions: text and video. After it was launched one after another, it attracted the attention of countless fans and netizens.

In the face of Cao Xuan's insistence, many people feel like mourning their concubine.

Maybe they understand Cao Xuan's vision of leaving from the peak, but they still hope to stay and listen for a few more years. It seems that in this way, his youth and memory will also be preserved.

On June 6, "Seeyouagain" slipped from the Billboard singles chart again, even dropped to No.25.

This conclusion did not exceed the expectations of Cao Xuan and many people.

Frankly, by 17 weeks, the song had exhausted its potential and was in decline even before that.

It's just that at that time, many people were holding on to surpass the record of Sister Niu, and then they wanted to hit the record for 20 weeks, and the popularity accumulated and went out of the circle. Coupled with the efforts of all parties, this song created a miracle.

Now that the goal of 20 weeks has been achieved, although there are still some people who hope that it will continue to work hard, more people have been discouraged and no longer support it with all their strength. In addition, the potential of this song itself is exhausted. I dare not say that many fans have already I'm tired of listening, but I can't maintain the high popularity before.

Therefore, losing the championship was expected as early as possible, and it may be possible to maintain the top of the list for a period of time in the future, but it will be difficult to think about winning the championship.

As for the other songs on the album, they have long lost their potential. So far, there are only two songs that are still ranked in the top [-]. They rush to the top [-] from time to time, but they can't get close to the top [-] at all.

For Cao Xuan, this album has slipped from its peak, and the follow-up achievements are water mill kung fu.

Therefore, Cao Xuan also turned his attention from the music to the film.

In mid-June, "Hurricane Rescue 6", the last of Cao Xuan's "Hurricane Rescue" series trilogy, was released worldwide.

As Cao Xuan's first international film action series, the first two films have accumulated a global box office of more than 5.5 million US dollars, which has laid a very strong foundation for the release of the third film.

Not to mention that Cao Xuan previously relied on "Now Now You See Me" and the Marvel series, and he made a big face internationally, and his personal box office appeal has soared, which is bound to bring a certain increase to "Hurricane Rescue 3".

In this North American battle, the opponents of "Hurricane Rescue 3" are not weak.

DC's "Superman: Man of Steel", the anime movie "Monsters University", Hollywood's No. [-] box-office actress Sandra Bullock's "Holy Police Flower", and a variety of other movies.

But even so, "Hurricane Rescue 3" still delivered a satisfactory answer.

Two weeks after its release, the North American box office accumulated 1.45 million US dollars, (this chapter is not over!)
672 The Uncrowned King? Best Singer of New Century Pop Music

The box office is expected to be $1.8 million.

The mainland box office is 3.6 million yuan in two weeks, and the box office is expected to be 5 to 5.5 million, which is about 8500 million US dollars.

As for other places, although Europe is a bit cold, Asia and Australia still maintain a dazzling performance, and the box office is not bad overall. After all, the foundation of the first two films and the popularity of Cao Xuan are here, and the total box office is expected to be 4.2. ~$4.8 million.

If nothing else, the cumulative box office of the "Hurricane Rescue" trilogy will exceed $10 billion, which is excellent for a small to medium-budget action movie series.

And Cao Xuan is also firmly on the list of global action superstars with this series, and this series is almost supported by his own efforts, and the gold content is not ordinary.

The music world is a god, and the box office is hot!
Cao Xuan's last pure English album and the last of the "Hurricane Rescue" series have a beautiful ending. His first half of 2013 was brilliant and beautiful.
