Chapter 137 Bad Popularity
You should know that today's signing event is not an open signing event. The places are all drawn from the coupons in the album, and the number is not many.

Most of the fans below do not have the quota for signings. They gather here just to support their idols and take a look at them.

The worry in Chi Jingyuan's heart was gone at this moment, and he felt a little sour in addition to being moved.

The members kept bright smiles and great enthusiasm throughout the whole process, performed live on the stage, and finally chatted intimately with the fans for a while, completing this autograph session perfectly, so that all of them can take a look at them. The fans who came from afar but were not eligible for the signing left satisfied.

The signing event in Busan officially started at two o'clock in the afternoon. After the end, they immediately took a nanny car and rushed to Daejeon, and held another autograph event at seven o'clock in the evening.

This time there were only a lot more fans than in the afternoon, and the lively scene swept away the exhaustion of all members.

Especially Chi Jingyuan, he is the most tiring one, even if the hand signature is already very sour, but he doesn't care much, on the contrary, there is a unique sense of happiness in his heart, and he still treats everyone who likes him with full enthusiasm people.

This feeling is also one of the important factors for him to persist in his idol career.

Today's two autograph sessions also prove that the popularity of this comeback is completely different from last year's debut period.

After the show ended, the members didn't even have time to eat, so they got on the car and rushed to Seoul. In the evening, there was a radio program Prodigy's Deep Break to be recorded.

"Brother, when can we eat? I'm starving to death."

The 12 people were divided into two nanny cars, and K and M sat separately. Park Chanyeol wailed and asked a question shortly after getting into the nanny car.

Several members of the K team also agreed at the same time. They didn't feel it because they didn't pay attention to it when they signed the sale before, and they felt hungry as soon as they got in the car.

"There are some snacks in the car, you can order them first, and we will go eat first when we arrive in Seoul."

Li Chenghuan handed over a plastic bag containing snacks, and comforted him.

"Hey Yigu, the results of this comeback are really gratifying, and the high popularity of signings is also exciting. It's just that there are so many schedules all of a sudden, and I'm not used to it."

"I can only get used to it. All artists come back like this. This is just the beginning."

"Ah, I'm so hungry..."

…………

Today is the 7th. Several days have passed since the album was officially released on June 6rd. EXO's momentum is very good, and their reputation has gradually spread.

Although the results are gratifying, there is also good news and bad news.

The good news is that the sales of the album are very gratifying. The previous pre-sales were very good. On the first day of release, the sales volume exceeded 1 copies.

The sales figure in a single day is already a sales volume that many Mudou's entire albums can't reach in a year.

Since the release of the official first album, EXO has occupied the top two in the real-time sales rankings, and has widened the gap with No.3.

The first and the second are the Korean and Xiawen versions of their albums, namely "XOXO (Kiss)" and "XOXO (Hug)".

Kiss means to kiss, and hug means to embrace. This name expresses the feelings for fans.

The sales in the past few days plus the pre-sales, the two versions of the album have already sold nearly 20 copies. It is estimated that without waiting for the end of this week, the sales of EXO's regular album will surpass last year's debut mini-album "MAMA" Cumulative sales over a year.

The same group with the same album, two different versions directly occupied the top two sales charts, and their status is extremely stable, the daily sales curve is very stable, which shocked countless people, even people in the industry, including other groups Idols are all unbelievable about the sales explosion of EXO's comeback this time.

According to Mnet’s statistics, among all the album sales of Peninsula in the past week, the two versions of EXO’s albums together accounted for nearly 70.00% of the entire market.

It’s that all other artists’ combined sales are less than half of theirs.

Of course, it has a lot to do with the fact that there was no general trend combination returning a few days ago.

Kim Taeyeon called specifically, complaining that if things go on like this, the sales of the regular third album "The Boys" released in 12 will be surpassed by EXO, which will make her senior very upset. fell shame.

As of last month, "The Boys" sold more than 40 copies, widening the gap with other girl groups.

Girls' Generation ranked second in the girl group, and it was "I got a boy" they released at the beginning of the year.

Just according to this growth rate, what Kim Taeyeon said may come true in less than a month.

The explosion of EXO's comeback sales has exceeded everyone's expectations, making the company feel that the investment was not in vain while making a fortune, but the trend of music performance is somewhat unsatisfactory.

The results on the first day of the release of the music source were astonishing. The title song airborne first, and several charts reached the top of the list. Melon's results were also very good. "Wolf" airborne second, directly topping Lee Hyori go down.

It was full of explosive power under the crazy support of fans, but as time passed and many passers-by entered the venue, the shortcomings of the pure dance nature of songs like "Wolf" appeared.

If you don't match the stage and just listen to the song, the lyrics of this title song are second to none, and the melody is a bit strange. It is not a song that meets the public's aesthetics.

Many people naturally clicked in to listen when they saw such a high ranking, but after hearing it, they found that it didn’t suit their tastes at all, and they began to complain in the comments. Fans of EXO, and people who like this style or have seen the stage naturally support it My own idol said all good things.

With that, the reviews on Wolf start to polarize:
"Wow, this time the title song is really good, much better than last year."

"I really like the concept of the wolf boy, the stage of the song is also great, the tree of life is really cool, EXO fighting!"

"This song is not bad, but it's not enough. What I want to hear most is the one written by Yuan in the news. When can I hear the sound source?"

"What the hell is this song? It's terrible."

"The fans are really good at reading, such an ugly song ranks so well kkkkkkk the peninsula music industry is over."

"What the hell is this group singing? Why is the chorus 'Ah, ah,' howling wolves, are you rabies? Can you sing well?"

"kkkkk upstairs, I like your speech, but remember to close your private message."

"........."

Compared with favorable comments, dislikes accounted for a larger number.

In fact, there is no way, after all, the audience is different, and the main song is pure dance music.

Except for Bigbang, the male groups in the entire peninsula have average performances in music sources. It is already good to be on the list. EXO's music performance this time is already considered good.

The explosive power of the sound source results depends on fans, but the persistence depends on passers-by. Passers-by don't like it much, and the effect of relying on fans alone will become smaller and smaller as time goes by.

A few days later, the rankings of all the songs in the album on the major charts are decreasing. On the Melon chart, the title song "Wolf", which ranks the highest, has dropped from No. 24 to No. [-], although there are occasional fluctuations. A few, but the overall does show a downward trend, and the decline is quite fast.

However, in the past few days, EXO's comeback has exceeded the expectations of the company and fans. They have successfully put their names out, and they are no longer as transparent as they were last year. It can be regarded as a successful comeback.
The next thing is to see when they can get their first No. [-] playing songs.
