Since Lu Yuan released his album, this is the first time that he has fallen out of the top five on the weekly album sales list.

Seeing this list, not to mention the reaction of Lu Yuan's fans, other musicians breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Lu Yuan is just a 'newcomer', his dominance is phenomenal.

An album that was released nearly 4 months ago is still ranked among the top five in the weekly album sales list.

Simply inhuman!
Especially those singers who come from idol schools. Although they don't say anything on the surface, they whisper a lot in private.

Brother, do you set the standards so high?

How will we live in the future?

Even though the industry no longer regards Lu Yuan as an idol singer, it is an undisputed fact that he started out as a happy boy.

At first, Lu Yuan was indeed labeled as an idol.

No matter how those idol singers complain, Lu Yuan is indeed facing an all-round attack.

Not only album sales, but also music charts on major platforms have begun to rotate.

In the new issue of the [-]-degree hot song list, several of Lu Yuan's "new songs" fell out of the top ten.

No.1: Chi Ling——Lu Yuan

No.2: Blue and white porcelain - Jay Chou
No.3: Breathing Pain - Liang Jingru
No.4: Chasing dreams with a pure heart——Lu Yuan

No.5: To my future self——Liang Jingru
No.6: Daoxiang——Lu Yuan

No.7: Cowboys are very busy - Jay Chou
No.8: The longest movie - Jay Chou
No.9: Those Years——Lu Yuan

No.10: The Bund NO.18 - Talented men and beautiful women

Although Lu Yuan still occupies four seats among the top ten, compared with the previous two months, Lu Yuan's dominance has undoubtedly declined.

In particular, the two songs "Blue and White Porcelain" and "Breathing Pain" broke into the top ten of the hot song list in just one week after their release.

And it has successively broken through "Chasing Dreams" and strongly entered the top three.

"Chi Ling"'s top spot looks in jeopardy!

While the mainland media was paying attention to the battle for the list, the media in Taiwan criticized Jay Chou.

In the new GMUSIC rankings, Liang Jingru's "Worship" officially surpassed Jay Chou and ranked first.

Previously, the two albums "Chopin in November" and "Still Fantasy" were the top albums for three consecutive weeks.

Moreover, both albums accounted for nearly 50% of sales, significantly ahead of other albums.

In other words, in the first three weeks of the release of these two albums, five out of ten people who walked into the video store bought Jay Chou's new album.

This year, in the first week of the album's release, the album sales of "I'm Very Busy" accounted for only 32.89%. In the Bay Area, on average, for every ten people entering the store, only 3.3 people purchased "I'm Very Busy".

In the second week after the album was released, the album sales share of "I'm Very Busy" dropped significantly to 15.86%.

(The real situation at that time is not black)

As soon as the list was announced, there was no reaction from the Mainland side, but there was a lot of scolding from the Wanwan side.As the saying goes, the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.

In the second half of this year, the most popular singer in the Chinese music scene is undoubtedly Lu Yuan. His new album was not announced in Hong Kong and Taiwan, but it once broke into the top ten on the charts in both places.

Nowadays, the Hong Kong music scene is declining, and there are fewer and fewer excellent singers. It is difficult to find a peer who can compete with Lu Yuan.

(Eason was born in 74, with an age difference of more than ten years. Jay Chou was born in 79. The age gap between him and Lu Yuan is smaller, within ten years)

Previously, JJ Lin and Wang Lihong were defeated head-on by Lu Yuan.

Although Haidie and Xinsuo Music do not agree with this statement, after all, JJ Lin and Wang Lihong have not lost in terms of record sales across Asia.

But in terms of song popularity and overall evaluation of the album, the two did lose.

Among the quartet of Zhou, Lin, Tao and Wang, Tao Ji seems to be in a semi-retirement state and has no plans to release a new album in the near future.

JJ Lin and Wang Lihong were defeated successively.

Only Jay Chou is left.

However, the quality of Jay Chou's new album has dropped 'significantly'.

Although compared with others, this album is still very good, but compared with "Chopin in November" and "Still Fantasy", it is far behind.

Data doesn't lie.

The sharp decline in album sales the following week is the best evidence of this.

Faced with external responsibilities, Jay Chou certainly felt unhappy, but Lu Yuan's new album is indeed very impressive.

Whether it's lyrics, music, arrangement, singing, etc., they are all very good.

Even if compared with "Ye Huimei" and "Chopin in November", it will not fall behind.

In fact, Jay Chou himself had anticipated this before the release of "I'm Very Busy".

When the album is released, there may be a wave of criticism.

As the name of the new album goes, he has been really busy this past year.

He directed and starred in the movie "Secrets That Cannot Be Told" and established his personal music company Jewel, although he is still very attentive to the production of albums.

But human energy is limited.

A few days later, mainland music critics also commented one after another. Compared with Yishui's previous praises, there were indeed more criticisms this time.

However, criticism from the industry did not affect the sales of "I'm So Busy" in the mainland.

"Blue and White Porcelain", "Cowboys Are Busy", "Rainbow", "The Dandelion Promise", "The Longest Movie", each one is very hit.

In particular, "Blue and White Porcelain" ranked first in the new song charts on all major charts on all platforms.

In addition to the new song charts, the lowest hot song charts on major platforms are also in the top five.

On November 11, the time management master released a new album "Where the Dance Is Not".

On the same day, Lu Yuan's "Those Years" was squeezed out of the top ten for the first time.

"The Bund NO.18" reached ninth place, and the tenth spot was replaced by "Did Someone Tell You" by Chen Chusheng.

"Chasing Dreams" fell from the fourth position to fifth.

No. 4 became "For My Future Self" by Liang Jingru.

However, "Chi Ling" still firmly occupies the top spot, motionless.

　The first update has been blocked and has not been released yet.
