China Entertainment: Starting from 07 Kuainan

Chapter 160 Album Release
6 month 19 number.

Lu Yuan's first English album was released simultaneously across Asia. On this day, long queues formed outside major audio and video stores across the country once again.

The bustling crowd seemed to give people an illusion.

Is the recording industry picking up?
Similar scenes were not unusual at all around the millennium, but now, in some areas, they only happen two or three times a year at most.

If you look at the whole country, it doesn't necessarily happen once a year.

Devil!

Yanjing!

Jinling!

Pengcheng!

Hong Kong!

Bay Bay!

This is the case at the entrances of video stores in major cities across the country.

Such a hot-selling scene, of course, is indispensable for the media. Traditional print media, TV stations, and new portal websites have sent teams to collect news.

As the saying goes, the harder you press, the more violent the rebound will be.

Nearly five months have passed since Lu Yuan started placing orders in late January. Domestic netizens have also expressed their satisfaction at watching Lu Yuan conquering cities in Europe and the United States.

Solitary seedling.

Moreover, Lu Tianwang's achievements in Europe and the United States are not just hype, but hard work.

In early May, Lu Yuan topped the Billboard singles chart, beating out Mariah Carey, Madonna, Usher and other European and American kings and queens.

At this time, even those fans who don't know Billboard know the gold content of this list.

Although the Billboard Singles Chart is America's pop music chart, its scope extends beyond America.

It also has extensive influence in other countries where the English department is the mainstay.

In addition to topping the singles chart, Lu Yuan's album sales in North America are not bad either.

In the latest issue of the Billboard album chart, Lu Yuan ranked third with sales of 18 copies.

No. 1 is rapper Lil Wayne, with sales exceeding one million in a single week. This is also the highest single-week sales record in the American record market in the past three years.

Similarly, on the singles chart, Lil Wayne's single "lollipop" is also No. [-].

Although Lil Wayne was beaten in both lists, no one can ignore Lu Yuan's influence.

"not afraid"——No.2
"Counting Stars"——No.5
"unstoppable"——No.8
"Hall Of Fame"——No.13

"Natural"——No.19

"stronger"——No.30
"the nights" - eight
"Something just like this"——No.80 eight
"Sold Out"——No.90 Seven
One album, nine songs were on the Billboard singles chart, a total of four TOP10 hit singles were produced, and four songs did not hit the singles list. They landed on the list simply by virtue of word-of-mouth.

Especially "stronger" broke into the top 39, ranking [-]th.

If this is a hit single, it is very likely to break into the top ten and win the championship, which is not impossible.

Seeing such a performance, I don’t know how many singers are envious, but also feel regretful.

A single with the potential to be a No. [-] single didn’t chart?

What an outrageous thing this is!
Universal does have a publicity plan, but the publicity has to be coordinated by the singer himself. Lu Yuan's schedule is already very intensive.

One month is missing from the year, and all the remaining plans are in chaos.

Even if "stronger" were to be released, it would have to be pushed to August.

According to Universal's internal predictions, if it does not cooperate with the promotion campaign, the potential limit of "stronger" should be around 20.

The top 20 on the singles chart is a threshold. Those ranked in the top 20 are either new hits that have entered the chart, or historical hits in the top ten of the singles chart.Like this week's Billboard No. 20 single "The Time Of My Life," it is a new song by David Cook, the winner of the seventh season of "America Idol."

It ranked 4th last week and dropped to 20th this week.

After three weeks on the list, it fell 14 places in a single week. This is also a normal trend for idol singers. There will be one or two strong periods and then a rapid decline.

And for powerful players like Lu Yuan, singles can often stay on the charts for more than 10 weeks. If the songs are of excellent quality, it is not impossible to stay on the charts for 20 weeks or even longer.

The excellent quality of the album has also infinitely raised fans' expectations.

Although Lu Yuan only has one song "unstoppable" charting in Asia so far, the MVs for "Counting Stars", "Hall Of Fame", "Natural", and "the nights" have been uploaded to YouTube.

Among them, the cumulative views of "Counting Stars" have exceeded 7000 million!
This MV is also the MV with the fastest growth rate this year on YouTube and the highest cumulative views throughout the year.

There are 14 songs in an album (the Asian version has one extra song, not afraid). I have listened to 5 of them, and nine of them have landed in the top 100 of the singles chart. Such a high-quality album is enough to encourage fans to go to the video store and buy a physical copy. album.

Especially those from Xiaoli, their favorite albums are this kind of high-quality albums.

In the Oricon charts of Xiaoli, you can often see the shadow of singer collections. Many famous singers will select a batch of high-quality songs that have been released to form a collection album.

Pop queen Amuro Namie will release a greatest hits album again in the second half of this year, which will also be her third greatest hits album.

Magic City.

Gome Video Store.

Before eight o'clock in the morning, the door of the video store was filled with a dense flow of people. Viewed from a high altitude, the street had already been winding back and forth several times.

Seeing that the flow of people was increasing, the traffic police detachment within the jurisdiction quickly sent several traffic police officers to the scene to maintain traffic and avoid any accidents.

Not only the traffic police, but also several policemen on duty from the police station within their jurisdiction were dispatched to the scene.

The intersection of Changning Road and Huichuan Road.

A policeman on duty chatted with the traffic policeman on the side.

"Lu Yuan's appeal is really strong."

Among them, an older policeman smiled and shook his head.

"As I get older, I really don't understand how young people think. Is it worth queuing for hours to just buy an album?"

Another traffic policeman in his early thirties also lamented.

"This scene is quite good. At the end of March, the scene at Pudong Airport was really big. Thousands of people came to pick up the airport from those star-chasing kids."

"I heard from colleagues in the system that many people came from other places, and the furthest ones seemed to be from the northeast."

"Thousands of miles across, just to take a look from a distance."

The old policeman said dumbly: "These children are indeed crazy. Although my children also like Lu Yuan, they are not so crazy yet..."

Before he could finish his sentence, the old policeman stopped abruptly.

Because he saw a familiar figure.

Not far away, the girl with a ponytail and the uniform of Changning Middle School looked like his daughter.

Immediately, the old policeman lowered his head and glanced at his watch.

a quarter past nine.

Today is Thursday, so we should be in class at this time.

Immediately afterwards, the old policeman changed the topic calmly, chatted for a few more words, and then left.

He wanted to confirm whether the figure just now was his daughter.

Skip class and buy an album!
unacceptable!
