China Entertainment: Starting from 07 Kuainan

Chapter 135 Hot discussion outside the wall

Although most netizens in China are obsessed with eating melons, among Lu Yuan's fan base, the news that all three songs have been released on the Billboard quickly spread.

Lu Yuan's personal blog, Qiandu Tieba, and fan sites are all filled with congratulatory messages.

Friends who followed Lu Yuan also sent congratulatory text messages one after another.

Not only that, it also caused a discussion in America, thousands of miles away.

It's not unusual for a new person to log onto the bulletin board.

Every year.

It is a bit rare for a newcomer to release three songs and all of them chart on the charts in just two weeks.

Especially this newcomer, he is an Oriental, a Chinese.

This is even more strange.

Before, Asians have not been on the Billboard Hot [-], let alone landed on the Billboard Hot [-], and even won the record.

In 1963, the national treasure singer Kyu Sakamoto had a number one single in his childhood.

The single "Sukiyaki" peaked at No. 14 and stayed on the chart for [-] weeks.

In the following 20 years, young singers such as YMO Band (Yellow Magic Orchestra), girl group Pink Lady, Yu Yokokura, Seiko Matsuda, etc. have successively appeared on the Billboard Hot [-] Singles Chart.

As of today, the last Asian singer to appear on the Billboard Hot [-] is Seiko Matsuda, one of the three major singers of the Showa era.

In 1990, the single "The Right Combination" released by Seiko Matsuda landed on the Billboard Hot 54 Singles Chart, peaking at No. 13 and staying on the chart for [-] weeks.

Since then, nearly 20 years have passed, and no Asian singer has landed on the Hot [-] Singles Chart.

18 years to be exact!
18 years later, another Asian singer has entered the Billboard Hot [-] singles list, which is enough to arouse the curiosity of many people.

If people are curious, there will be traffic, and the media will of course be willing to report on it.

What's more, Universal Music Group is also contributing to it.

According to America's census data, Asians account for about 5% of the U.S. population, with a total population of about 1500 million.

Among them, the Chinese population is close to 350 million.

In the publicity plan formulated by Universal Music, Asians, especially Chinese among Asians, are the key publicity targets.

In state capitals where there are many Asian and Chinese branches, Universal Music spent a lot of money trying to make Lu Yuan known to most Asians and Chinese.

of course.

While focusing on publicity, Universal has not forgotten other groups of people.

In fact, Universal’s publicity results have been remarkable.

After two consecutive weeks of targeted bombing propaganda, a considerable number of Asians and Chinese people knew Lu Yuan's name.

This can also be reflected from the sales data.

So far, the total downloads of "Counting Stars" on iTunes have exceeded 9+, approaching the [-] mark.

The offline physical single "Counting Stars" also sold nearly 2 copies.

The other two songs, "Hall Of Fame", have a total online download volume of more than 6, and 1 copies have been sold offline.

Although the online performance of "Natural" is not impressive enough, with only about 3 downloads, it has sold more than 18000 copies offline.

According to the sales data of these three songs, if Lu Yuan's album of the same name is released, it will not be difficult to land on the Billboard 200 album chart.

The Billboard Album Chart is also one of the most valuable lists among the Billboard charts. Its status is similar to that of the Singles Chart.

There is only one criteria for entering the album chart!
sales data!
As long as the data meets the standards, you can be on the list.

Comparing previous single/album sales ratio data, if Lu Yuan releases an album at this time, the album's first-week sales are expected to be around 5000 copies.

The sales data of 5000 copies in a single week is enough to land on the Billboard 200 album chart.

This week, the new album of the independent rock band The Magnetic Fields debuted at No. 8000 on the Billboard album chart with sales of over 77 in a single week.

In short, Lu Tianwang's plan to enter Europe and the United States is stable and improving.Comments from music critics also appeared in the art review sections of well-known newspapers such as the New York Daily News, the Los Angeles Times, and the Washington Daily News.

Among them, there are comments from Universal Music's public relations, and some are spontaneous actions by music critics.

It's not easy to be a music critic.

It is even more difficult to collect money (record company public relations fees) and gain a good reputation at the same time. However, for Lu Yuan's three new songs, most music critics are very happy with the money they receive.

Because they are good enough!

Worth bragging!
Moreover, there are many places to blow!
The hot discussion in America soon spread to Xiaori and Xiaobangzi. After all, America is their 'sovereign country'.

Especially in Xiaoli, Lu Yuan has a certain degree of popularity.

In December last year, Huayi Music officially entered the small life market with the help of Universal Music Group, and Lu Yuan's two albums were also sold in the small life market.

The sales volume is average, I can’t say it’s not at all, I can only say it’s better than nothing.

Two months later, the two albums have sold a total of more than 1 copies. Among them, the first album sold more than 7000 copies and "The Road Is Still Long" sold about 3000 copies.

However, as the media began to report on Lu Yuan's "achievements in conquering the United States", these two albums ushered in a sales peak.

On the day the report was released, more than 5000 copies of the two albums were sold.

One day’s sales catch up with one month’s total sales.

2 month 2 number.

Lu Yuan's albums continue to sell well, with 2000 copies of his first album of the same name sold and 1000 copies of "The Road Is Still Long".

At the same time, Lu Yuan’s live video on YouTube has reached another peak of visits.

In the message section below, there are many more comments in Japanese and Korean.

[Si Guoyi! 】

[kakko ii (handsome), I really like Lu Jun’s "The Wind Rises"]

【da isu ki de su (I like it so much)! ! ! 】

【Treasure Singer】(Japanese)

[Si Guoyi, your singing skills are great! 】

[What a handsome Oppa, Sarahei! 】

[Ah, ah, I really want to sleep with Oppa in my arms! 】(Korean)

In just two days, the number of views on Lu Yuan's LIVE video increased by another 300 million, with most of the views contributed by Asia.

This time, it was also the first time that Lu Yuan broke the circle.

Although Japanese media and Korean media have reported on Lu Yuan before, in terms of scale, they are completely unable to compare with the popularity this time.

In the past two days, Lu Yuan has frequently appeared in the media pages of both countries. In terms of popularity, it is no less popular than a certain pornographic photo incident.

King Lu Tianwang's follow-up incident, [-]-[-] split, sounds weird, but from another perspective, it is not a manifestation of popularity.

Large-scale reports by Japanese and Korean media quickly attracted the attention of domestic media.

what's going on?
I was having a great time eating melon, but Xiaori and Xiaobangzi both reported on Lu Yuan’s news?

After reading the reprinted news, many netizens suddenly realized.

What the hell!

It turns out that Lu Yuan is the first Asian to appear on the Billboard Hot [-] list after the millennium.

Niubi!

Immediately afterwards, Boss Lu enjoyed another 'headline' treatment, and the crowd's eyes shifted slightly for a while, then returned to King Lu.
