China Entertainment: Starting from 07 Kuainan

Chapter 276: Bestsellers in Controversy
After the release of Lu Yuan's third Chinese-language album, word-of-mouth has become polarized.

Among the fans, most people gave unanimous praise.

The fans' request is simple.

As long as it sounds good.

Among music critics, there are not a few people who give negative reviews. The proportion of positive reviews is only about [-]%, and about [-]% of them are neutral.

The remaining [-]% are all negative reviews.

However, even the music critics who gave negative reviews still gave unanimous praise to the song "Jiuer".

Recently, Xinlang.com organized a special session for music critics. The average score of the album "Walking Without Stopping" was only 6.1 points (on a ten-point scale), barely passing the passing mark.

"Exhaustion of talents, the end of an era"

"Lu Yuan's new album faces a test, ranging from rave reviews to mixed reviews"

"Musician Dragged Down by Corporate Affairs—Lu Yuan"

"Except for [Jiuer], Lu Yuan's new songs have no highlights. Is there a future for the Chinese music scene?" 》

"Lu Yuan, give up starting a company!"Be a pure musician"

Although there are many negative reviews on other portal websites, in terms of information density, there are obviously not as many as Xinlang.

Today's Xinlang.com gives people the feeling of a [Luhei] base camp.

In fact, it's pretty much the same.

Lu Yuan and artists from Xingchen Media collectively settled in Tengxun Scarf, which is equivalent to siding with competing products.

If that's all, then so be it.

There is no airtight wall in the world, and Xinlang's operations team tried their best to finally get the inside information about Tengxun's scarf.

Most of Tengxun's product ideas were inherited from Fanfou.com, and many of Fanfou.com's ideas were contributed by Lu Yuan.

In other words, the high degree of completion of Tengxun scarf products is inseparable from Lu Yuan.

The friend of the enemy is also the enemy.

Although Xinlang.com would not blatantly blackmail Luyuan, it still had the guts to hide behind the scenes and poke fun at Rhythm.

What's more, music critics are only criticizing the works, not to the level of "ginseng cock", so there is no need to stop criticizing.

However, negative reviews from music critics could not stop the album from selling well both online and offline.

On the weekly sales lists of Dangdang.com and Joyo.com, "Practice Without Stopping" ranked first in both.

Offline audio and video stores have also ushered in a sales boom, adding a bit of warmth to the cold winter of physical records.

This sales boom is not limited to China.

In the latest issue of the Billboard 200 Album Chart, "Keep Going" ranked sixth on Billboard with 4 copies.

Because the album was released on Wednesday, the sales volume of 4 copies was only one day's sales.

If the album had been released last Friday, "Walking Without Stopping" would likely have landed at No. 1 on the Billboard album chart. After all, no big-name singers released albums this week, and the No. 10 sales volume was only 6 copies.

However, Lu Yuan did not deliberately press the point.

Although foreign fans also buy Chinese-language albums in North America, the main buyers are still Chinese.

There is no need to fight for that title.

correct.

If you include "Lucas·LU", both of Lu Yuan's albums are on this week's Billboard album chart.

This album, released more than a year ago, is still firmly on the album charts, with sales ranging from a few thousand copies in a single week. Occasionally, it breaks out, and sales can exceed [-].

It has been on the list for more than 90 weeks!
Although it has been on the charts for more than a year and a half, it is basically impossible to set the record for the longest time an album has been on the charts.

On the Billboard album chart, the holder of the record for consecutive stays on the chart is the Eagle Country rock band Pink Floyd, whose album "Dark Side of the Moon" stayed on the chart for 741 weeks.

From its release in 73 until 1988, it remained on the list for 14 consecutive years.This record is unprecedented and unprecedented.

Not to mention No. 1, even if it is in the top ten of the list, it is a record that is difficult to challenge.

Today, the No. 10 album on the chart is the "The King and I" movie soundtrack (56 years), which has been on the chart for 277 consecutive weeks (more than five years).

These records were basically set by the ancient gods of the last century. It is almost impossible to break the records now.

In today's music scene, tens of thousands of new songs are released every day, and people have more and more entertainment methods. It is unrealistic not to say surpass, but even to equal.

In addition, "Walking Without Stopping" has also reached the top [-] on the Oricon Chart and Xiaobangzi Music Chart of Xiaoli.

Oricon Album Sales Weekly Chart, ranking No. 16.

Number fifteen is Michael Jackson's greatest hits album "KING OF POP".

Xiaobangzi music sales list, No. 14.

Although the rankings in the two lists are relatively high, the total sales volume in the two countries is not as high as the one-day sales volume in North America.

The sales volume in a single week is only about 3 copies.

In other countries such as Xincheng, Malaysia, and Indonesia, "Walking Without Stopping" has also entered the album sales rankings.

As of September 9, the physical album of "Walking Without Stopping" has shipped more than 13 million copies globally.

9 month 14 number.

Monday morning.

Xingchen Media announced the album sales report of "Keep Going" on its official website and Bibo.

The fans were not the most surprised when they saw this announcement. In their view, Lu Yuan's album sales exceeding one million were just a guarantee.

The real surprise was for the record companies and the singers.

Lu Yuan's album sales are never watered down. All practitioners know this, so they are surprised.

All physical records, shipped 150 million units in a single week.

They literally pushed all the singers to the ground and rubbed them.

The Hong Kong music scene is silent.

The Baodao music scene is silent.

At the same time, the official band of Starlight Records also submitted a less 'dazzling' report card.

[Congratulations to singer Meina for her first EP shipment exceeding 20, @我是美娜]

[Congratulations to singer Wang Sulong for his first studio album shipment exceeding 15, @王苏龙]

[Congratulations to singer Su Xin for the shipment of her first studio album exceeding 20, @苏信]

20, 15, 20, these figures seem to be very different from Lu Yuan, not even a fraction, but if the physical album can sell so much, it is already considered a big seller.

For other record companies, if a genuine album can sell 20 copies, the record company will dare to quote 50 or 60. For a more wild album, it is normal to quote one million.

After all, the sales volume of pirated albums is several times, or even more than ten times, that of genuine albums.

They only pay four or five times more, which is considered conscientious.

If they could have singers like Meina, Wang Sulong, and Su Xin, their sales would at least triple.

Because the new songs of the three of them are very popular on the Internet, if you open any list, you can see "Once Upon a Time", "Little Star", and "Floating North".
The popularity is so high online, why not add water?
The more you submit, the more it proves the appeal of your singers, and the prices of commercial performances and endorsements can also rise with the tide.

Therefore, in the eyes of practitioners, an innocuous act like Starlight Records is purely an act of nonsense.

In fact, Xu Rui, the director of operations of Starlight Records, also mentioned the "method of mixing water with water". Others are mixing water with water, but they don't, which is a bit of a disadvantage.

But Lu Yuan rejected this plan.

He has no control over others, and his own company must not engage in such evil practices.
