Chapter 143 Headlines!Headlines!
With the release of the new Billboard list, mainland Chinese bosses have appeared on the front pages of heavyweight media such as the New York Daily News, the Los Angeles Times, and the Washington Daily News.

Headline!

What’s the point of “Counting Stars” ranking seventh on the Billboard Hot [-]?
The existence of bad streets.

Any song that can land in the top 10 of the singles chart is a highly popular hit single in the United States.

It's the kind of song that is always played somewhere in the streets and alleys.

If it is a champion single or a top 3 song on the B-list, its short-term popularity is probably similar to Brother Xiao Qi's "Heart Is Too Soft".

For Mr. Lu to be among the top ten, the right time, location, and people are all indispensable.

Although the weight of radio data has declined since entering the download era, radio data in 08 and 18 are completely different concepts.

Before the rise of the mobile Internet, the weight ratio of radio stations was still very high.

The core themes of the three songs "Counting Stars", "Hall Of Fame" and "Natural" are all to encourage people to be positive.

The theme of positive energy hits the group of unemployed and bankrupt people who are wandering in a period of confusion.

As a result, the radio’s on-demand rate has soared!

If the base market is large enough, even if the payment ratio is very low, the overall sales volume will be considerable.

What's more, in the era of digital music, the price of a song is not expensive, and you can buy a single for $0.99.

And there is no need to go to offline stores to buy.

Just sit at home and move your fingers.

Therefore, the downloads of Lu Yuan's three singles, especially the flagship "Counting Stars", have been increasing steadily.

In just one week, the single download volume of "Counting Stars" reached 17+, ranking first (fourth) on the digital single download list.

This song is completely popular.

The downloads of the other two songs are also very impressive. "Hall of Fame" has more than 10 downloads in a single week, and "Born This Way" has more than 8 downloads, ranking 13th and 25th in the single-week download rankings respectively.

A newcomer can achieve such results in his first order, and the media is shocked!
A newcomer with an Asian face landed in the top ten of the Billboard and launched an attack on the Billboard's number one single.

America's pop music scene is in shock!

In 2002, a 17-year-old punk girl with a guitar on her back and smoky makeup appeared on the scene.

The single "complicated" took 6 weeks to reach No. 11 on the singles chart.

Week [-] – No. [-]
Week [-] – [-]th place
然后依次是3-2-3-3-3-3-2-3-3-3……

It peaked at No. [-]. Although the song failed to win the Billboard Hot [-], it has won the number one single in four countries: Ireland, Australia, France, New Zealand and Germany.

The album "Let Go", which includes the single "complicated", sold over 1600 million copies worldwide.

From 02 to 07, Avril Lavigne released a total of three albums. In 5 years, the total global sales exceeded 3000 million!

It’s an album with sales of 3000 million+!

Not a single!

Among the new generation of singers, whether it is Rihanna, Miss Fruit, Taylor or Lady Gaga, their sales during their five-year peak period are not as good as Avril Lavigne.

Lu Yuan's single "Counting Stars" has a very similar trend to Avril Lavigne's debut album.

Week 91 – [-]
Week 83 – [-]
Week 53 – [-]
Week 35 – [-]
Week 11 - [-]
Week 7 - [-]
It took Lu Yuan's single six weeks to reach No. [-] on the charts, one week less than Avril Lavigne!
Moreover, Lu Yuan and Avril Lavigne are both foreigners. Although Maple Leaf Country is known as America's back garden, Avril Lavigne's nationality is after all a foreigner.

The same newcomer, the same sudden appearance, the same identity (foreigner), very similar B-list trends, and almost the same age.

There are so many things in common that the media have compared the two together.

Apart from some media that joined in the fun, music critics also came out one after another and began to comment on Lu Yuan's three 'new songs' on a large scale.In the reviews this time, although there are some fake ones from Universal Music, more music critics bring their own dry food.

Billboard No. [-], the attention is high enough.

Lyrics, melody, arrangement, theme, concept, structure, mixing, MV, singing skills, and even the singer's personal image are all included in the review.

Although some traditional music critics think "Counting Stars" is trash, neither rock nor pop, and the lyrics are full of pretentiousness.

But there is no shortage of unconventional people everywhere. Except for this group of music critics, most other music critics have given positive reviews.

On Pitchfork, America's professional music critic website, "Counting Stars" received an astonishing 65% positive rating from music critics.

Music critics, both Chinese and foreign, are a group of people with the most discerning tastes. A 65% positive rating is already a very high rating.

If the overall album's critical acclaim can maintain this figure, Lu Yuan's solo English debut album is fully qualified to compete for the album most favored by music critics in 2008.

Comments from music critics and large-scale discussions in the media have added new fuel to "Counting Stars".

3 month 6 number.

Billboard Hot [-] singles chart, as expected.

"Counting Stars"——No.4
"Hall Of Fame"——No.10
"Natural"——No.20

A newcomer with an Asian face, two singles landed in the top ten of the Billboard singles chart!
When the list came out, the entire United States was shocked!

More media and netizens joined the discussion one after another. The number of visits to Lu Yuan's MySpace profile page increased dramatically!

When those new netizens heard the two pure electronic songs "fade" and "the nights", they seemed to have discovered a new treasure.

What the hell?

Can't find any information about these two songs?
Is it LU’s new song?

There are so many questioning messages, why doesn’t LU reply to any of them?

Soon, media with a keen sense of smell caught up with MySpace. When they heard the two electronic songs, their reaction was the same as that of many netizens.

My God!

Are these two extremely dynamic electronic songs also LU’s reserve ammunition?

Some netizens even bypassed the Chinese wall to access the domestic Internet, and then someone found the MP3 audio sources of "Oh Father" and the song "Sadness".

When people familiar with the matter released the collected information, many people just woke up from their dreams.

Is a singer with such diverse styles, including rock, pop, folk, pure music, and electronic music, really a newcomer?

What else do you not know?

In addition, in less than a year, LU has released two Chinese albums, with total sales exceeding 270 million+.

This number is extremely eye-catching even in Europe and the United States, where copyright protection is more complete.

But, but, after two Chinese albums, LU released an English album.

In one year, three albums were released in two languages. They were all excellent in both singing and composition. One person did all the writing, arranging, and production. This... this young man is a monster, right?
It must be, right? ?

Is this something normal people can do?
When creating, there is always a period when inspiration runs out, right?
Amid the crowd's admiration, Lu Yuan's personal YouTube live video also received wave after wave of visits.

Most people's reaction to watching the video for the first time is similar.

What the hell!

This...this scene is infectious!
