Chapter 422 Airborne and the First Diamond Record

[Grammy announced, Album of the Year was a huge upset, Lu Yuan missed out on Album of the Year]

["On the Way" sold 1508 million copies throughout the year, but just missed out on the Album of the Year award. Haha, it's actually hard to win the Grammy.]

[Lu Yuan alone won four awards, and the Goddess Before the War unexpectedly won four awards, jointly leading the Grammys]

……

After the Grammy Awards ceremony, Lu Yuan once again dominated the headlines.

Wang Banbi’s official Weibo post announcing the single “Free Like a Dream” lost the top spot in the trending searches.

#LikeDreamsFree# is only ranked eleventh in the hot search.

cough cough.

On the Tengxun Weibo interface, only the top ten hot search headlines are displayed, and the eleventh one needs to be clicked on the hot search list to see it.

The top ten most searched songs are basically dominated by Grammy.

Because of Lu Yuan, compared to his previous life, the domestic attention to the Grammys is much higher.

2 month 17 number.

The new Billboard singles chart has been updated, and "Dream It Possible" has topped the singles chart.

This song was originally released as a promotional song for the World Expo. At that time, there was no open download channel, and there was no large-scale radio promotion.

Taking advantage of the Grammy Awards, Universal Music Group is on full swing.

The latest version of the MV was uploaded the day after the awards ceremony.

Compared with the first version of the MV, the new version of the MV has canceled the World Expo promotion part, and only retains the personal experience part of the MV material.

From the unknown piano boy, step by step to the Golden Hall of Vienna.

The key point is that this story is not virtual, but a story that actually happened in the real world, although the MV deliberately obscures the importance of talent.

But inspirational never goes out of style!

After the MV was uploaded, major, medium and small radio stations across the United States also began to bombard it in turn.

[Song of the Year] + super personal popularity + large-scale single promotion + high Grammy ratings, "Dream It Possible" topped the Billboard singles chart with 53+ downloads in a single week.

What a coincidence, "Dream It Possible" happens to be the 1000th number one single on the Billboard Singles Chart.

pity.

"Dream It Possible" is not an airborne number one single. After all, it was released a little long ago.

Previously, the song's best result was No. 33 on the singles chart.

now.

Data changes.

Lu Yuan once again has a number one single, which is also his sixth personal number one single.

The number of weeks of number one single has also reached 29 weeks.

Although such achievements cannot compare with those 'ancient greats', looking at the new generation of singers, Lu Yuan is the undisputed number one!

However, Grammy's daughter Adele is also quietly working hard.

On the 24th of last month, Adele released her second album "21".

The first single "Rolling In The Deep" topped the UK singles chart, selling over 30 copies in a single week, and the album "21" topped the UK album chart.

Airborne to No. 1 on both lists!

So far, it has topped the charts for five consecutive weeks.

The UK list was ruined by Dumb.

However, Ah-Dai has not yet charted in America, but even if she has not arrived, the reputation of "21" has already spread across the ocean and reached North America.

The second album with global sales exceeding 10 million this year is about to land in North America!

of course.

This has nothing to do with Lu Yuan. He has no plans to release an English album this year.

His third album "The Life" will be released either in December or in January next year.

At this time point, whether it is annual sales or Grammy selection, "21" has been perfectly avoided.

Adele is also the only woman who can make Lu Yuan adjust his album release plan.

Closer to home.

The second spot on this week's singles chart is a black rapper - Wiz Khalifa.

Many people may not be familiar with this name. He is the rapper in the theme song "we own it" of "Fast and Furious 6", and he also plays the rap part in "see you again".

Without "Dream It Possible", Wiz would have had his first number one single.

Now, no more.

Not only was the first number one single gone, but the second number one single "see you again" was ruthlessly snatched away by Lu Yuan.

If Wiz knew the 'truth', he would probably come to the door and chop Lu Yuan with a knife.

……

The next day.

Good news comes from Universal Music once again.

Last week, thanks to the Grammy linkage, "Lucas·LU" sold over 5 copies in a single week.

This 5+ also fills in the last piece of the puzzle.

"Lucas·LU" North American sales have officially exceeded 10 million!

Since Nielsen began tracking sales in 1992, this is the 21st album to sell more than 1000 million in the United States, and the third album since the turn of the millennium to sell more than million.

In two years and ten months, sales exceeded 10 million, making it the fastest album since the turn of the millennium.

At the same time that Lu Yuan received the good news, Universal Music Group announced the blockbuster news on its official website.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Yuan once again made headlines.

Scope: Global.

Major media outlets in Asia, Europe, and North America all published this news on their front pages.

[Good news: Lu Yuan’s first album has sold over 10 million in North America, earning his first diamond record] - Fujin News Network

[Oriental Michael? NO! Lu Yuan from the East? YES! 】——Asahi Shimbun

[Superstar of the new era, Lu Yuan’s album "Lucas LU" has sold over 10 million in the United States] - Daily Mail

[Lucas·LU——The pop king from the East, the first person of the new generation, well deserved]——Los Angeles Daily

[The next diamond record beckons, after "Lucas LU" North American sales exceeded 650 million, Lu Yuan's second album "on the way" North American sales exceeded million] - "Globe"

……

For Lu Yuan, the sales volume in North America exceeded 10 million, which was more of an emotion.

Excited?

A little bit.

He just silently forwarded a piece of good news officially announced by Star Media.

Then he went to do other things.

After hanging up the congratulatory call from Universal, Lu Yuan suddenly thought of a new idea.

The eleventh song of the third English special album is here!

Still my old friend Magic Red.

A sweet song "Sugar", domestic netizens also nicknamed him "Coconut Skin".

Marriage is also a stage of life that most people must go through.

This song fits very well with the theme of the album [Lifetime].

In addition, the MV idea for "sugar" was shamelessly plagiarized by Lu Yuan.

When Magic Red released this song, they took the idea of ​​raiding a wedding venue.

Although it was later found out that it was half real and half staged, the stunt of "the couple's favorite singer" parachuting into the wedding scene was really cool.

It is also very suitable for ranking.

After only five minutes of consideration, Lu Yuan decided to include this song in the new album.

Then, he contacted Universal Music and began planning a global airborne event.

On the way to tour, I completed the MV shooting without wasting any time.

When "sugar" was selected, two other songs were also confirmed.

Since we are writing about love, how can we not include Boss Huang?

Boss Huang, whose real name is Ed Sheeran, is a leader among the new generation of singers in Eagle Country. The two songs selected by Lu Yuan are one is "Thinking Out Loud" released in 14, and the other is "Thinking Out Loud" released in 17. Perfect》.

The former is about lovers staying together forever, while the latter is about love fairy tales.

"Perfect" (in love) - "sugar" (wedding) - "Thinking Out Loud" (forever together), it happens to be a complete love line.

Also.

Choosing Boss Huang's two songs can also take into account the chart performance. They are both adult lyrical songs with strong popularity and a wide audience. The chart results of the two songs are also very impressive.

"Thinking Out Loud" peaked at No. 58 on the American Billboard Singles Chart, staying on the chart for 119 weeks (more than a year), and peaked at No. 10 on the UK Singles Chart, staying on the chart for 20 consecutive weeks (more than two years). , the first periods last for weeks.

And "Perfect" is even more powerful.

It topped the Billboard singles chart for six weeks, stayed in the top ten of the singles chart for 26 weeks, and spent a total of 57 weeks on the chart.

This song's trend on the UK Singles Chart is similar to that of Billboard. It topped the list for six consecutive weeks, stayed in the top ten for 17 weeks, and stayed on the chart for 191 weeks (three and a half years).
