China Entertainment: Starting from 07 Kuainan

Chapter 380: Tragedy and global sales exceeding million

10 month 1 number.

National Day.

Boss Lu finished his work in Star City and boarded a flight back to the Magic City. He had no schedule for the next month.

The next tour is in November.

When making the tour plan, the due date was taken into consideration, so the entire month of October was a rest period.

On this day, the new week's Billboard charts are announced.

The single "Just The Way You Are" released in August by newcomer 'Martian Brother' topped the charts.

As early as May, the single "Nothin' On You" collaborated by Brother Mars and Little Bobby won the Billboard No. 1.

"Nothin' On You" is a song written by Brother Martian for Little Bobby, and "Just The Way You Are" is a song from Brother Martian's first studio album.

Looking at this year's American music scene, Brother Martian is definitely one of the most dazzling new stars.

He had two number one singles when he debuted, which is simply abnormal. Lu Yuan’s first album didn’t even have two number one singles.

What’s even more perverted is yet to come. In 15, Martian Brother’s single “Uptown Funk” dominated the singles chart for 14 consecutive weeks.

Then a meme was born.

Old Immortal Mars has boundless magic power.

"Uptown Funk" is very good, so Boss Lu naturally booked it in advance. However, the lyrics of this song need to be changed.

Those lyrics that are of a pornographic nature must be cut out and cannot be so explicit.

As for whether it can win for 14 consecutive weeks after changing the lyrics and whether it can win the championship, that is not within the scope of Boss Lu's consideration.

It’s all for nothing anyway.

Just like the Magic Red Band's No. 1 single from his second album, the two songs "Moves like jagger" and "One More Night" did not win the championship.

"Glad You Came" was even worse. It stayed in the second place for 16 consecutive weeks, directly breaking the record of the second single in the list.

"Glad You Came" was first blocked by her brother's "We Are Young" for four weeks, and then by Miss Fruit's top single "California Gurls" for five weeks.

Later, the single "Love The Way You Lie" collaborated by Rihanna and Timberwolves went on to win seven consecutive hits.

"Glad You Came" topped the charts for sixteen consecutive weeks, but fell to third place in its seventeenth week.

At this point, "Glad You Came" has completely lost its potential to win the championship.

Its experience has been likened to the 'Billboard Tragedy' by various media outlets.

It's really miserable.

Ranking second for 16 consecutive weeks is no less difficult than winning the championship for 16 consecutive weeks.

After all, there have been singles that have won 16 consecutive championships before. Sister Niu’s single "One Sweet Day" in 95 completed 16 consecutive championships.

16 Lianya?

Sorry, that's really not the case.

Because "Glad You Came" had two hits in a row, Billboard also received a lot of skepticism.

Not to mention Lu Yuan's fans, even casual fans can't stand it.

Deceiving too much!

This is simply a blatant suppression!

Its purpose is self-evident!

We cannot allow an Asian to win five championships in one specialty!

Immediately afterwards, all kinds of punches were thrown, and Bulletin Board even came out to explain, ensuring that there was absolutely no shady story.

But the evidence provided by Billboard is like tissue paper. Fans will throw it away after reading it, while those who question it will still question it.

Anyway, judging from the results, your bulletin board is suppressed.

From Boss Lu's point of view, he felt that the bulletin board was probably a little underwhelmed, especially in the past few weeks, which was more or less suppressed.

But after having too many cards for two consecutive weeks, the bulletin board probably stopped making small moves. Because at that time, the media attention was already very high.

It can only be said that "Glad You Came" was born at the wrong time, and the people who pressed it were not unknown people.

Needless to say, my classmates, Sister Fruit boldly appeared half-naked in the MV for "California Girls". This song has won five consecutive championships, and the MV is indispensable.

The single that Mr. Mu collaborated with Rihanna is also one of the divine songs.

Despite the misfortune, Lu Yuan did not lose. He was stuck for 16 consecutive weeks, which won him the sympathy of a large number of passers-by and fans.

Then album sales exploded.

In the highest week, album sales bucked the trend and recorded sales of 30+ in a single week. An album that was released for nearly half a year could still sell 30+ in a single week. American media called it 'unbelievable'.

Today, the sales volume of the second album "On the Way" in America has reached 520 million+.

As of September 9, the half-anniversary of its release, the global sales of "On the Way" have officially exceeded 31 million.

America: 520 million+

European countries: 290 million+

Tuao + Xiaori + Xiaobangzi + South America and other regions: 200 million+.

In fact, if domestic sales are included, the global sales of "On the Way" exceeded 10 million as early as last month.

However, there is a lack of authoritative statistical institutions in China, and the data has not been adopted by the International Phonographic Federation (IFPI) in a timely manner.

The album sales exceeded 10 million, and Universal sent out a piece of good news as usual.

Originally, Universal was planning to hold a luxurious celebration banquet, but at this time, how could Lu Yuan dare to leave for other places casually.

What if the baby in his belly started to activate during the celebration party? Wouldn't he miss the most important moment in his life?

Therefore, the celebration party was cancelled, and will be held together with the application for the diamond record.

Not surprisingly, "On the Way" will be able to achieve the diamond record status next year, or the year after that.

But before it, Lu Yuan's first album should reach 10 million sales ahead of schedule.

Because the second album was a hit, Lu Yuan's first album also frequently appeared in the top ten of the Billboard album chart.

As of now, the sales volume of "Lucas Lu" in North America has reached 800 million+, which is less than 200 million short of million.

Next year, Boss Lu will launch a large-scale tour in North America. It should not be difficult to make up for the remaining 200 million sales.

Not easy.

It takes three years after an album is released to receive diamond certification.

If other singers knew what Lu Yuan was thinking, they would definitely blow his head off.

The tear of crocodile!

How many singers have released albums in their lifetime, but all of them have sold less than 10 million copies.

After Universal Music's announcement was released, it immediately aroused heated discussions at home and abroad.

Especially inside the wall.

Selling more than 10 million copies of a single album is unthinkable.

Milkcha Lun's new album "Crossing the Era" was both a critical success and a hit, with sales in Asia totaling just over two million.

Wang Lihong's "Eighteen Martial Arts" claims to have sold more than two million albums, but no one can tell whether it has.

Compared with the two of them, the album sales announced by Starlight Records are more reference.

Because everyone knows that the album sales of singers under Starlight Records are never watered down.

According to the latest report, Meena’s first solo studio album "Paper is Short, Love is Long" has a total sales volume of 32+.

The songs in this album, such as "Paper is Short and Love is Long", "Is It Possible", "Distant You", "Guest Officer Can't Be", once swept online and offline.

But the cumulative sales volume is only 32+.

Xu Liang, who is at the top of the QQ music rankings, only sold 13+ of his first album.

One side is tens of millions, the other side is millions, hundreds of thousands.

What a miserable word.

For a time, calls for cracking down on piracy and boosting the record industry became loud again.
