Great Artist

The 44th Grammy Awards, the world's largest music awards ceremony, has many high-profile singers, among which the newcomers are undoubtedly Evan Bell and Alicia Keys. From the beginning of their debut, the two have been compared by the media in terms of music reputation and sales. This time, the contest in the year-end statistics also continued to the awards ceremony.

In terms of year-end statistics, Evan Bell won the singles strongly, with the first and last five singles applauding, while Alicia Keys hit the world with the song "Falling", and did not lose at all. In terms of album sales statistics, the competition between the two newcomers also continued to be hot. It has replaced the battle between Evan Bell and melancholy mood before the summer vacation, and has become the most eye-catching competitor in the year-end statistics of major media.

When it comes to melancholy mood, since the Oprah talk show aired in May, it was swept to the tail of the typhoon and disappeared. Originally, it was still noisy among the media for several months, but now there is no news at all. This is also the cruelty of survival of the fittest in the entertainment industry. In the meantime, Claire Days mentioned it once, saying that Universal Music is now rebuilding the band. After all, as an idol band, the response to their first album is still pretty good. As long as the positioning is good, there is still potential for development.

However, the media is always forgetful, and the melancholy mood that has disappeared for more than half a year, the foundation established before has disappeared, and it reappears, and it is unknown how things will develop.

Although at one time, the two or three things between Evan Bell and the blue mood were the best topic of media gossip, but now it is in the past tense, Evan Bell and Alicia Keys, two strong newcomers: Strength, word of mouth, and popularity can all form rivals that can compete with each other, and they have become the new favorite of the media.

In October 2000, the album "Mixed Theory" released by Linkin Park in 2001 was full of amazing vitality, and it has always stayed in the top five of the Billboard album chart, and finally sold seven million. Dust, and won the first place in the year-end album sales chart.

Like the House of Life, Linkin Park is a singer who debuted in the second half of 2000. The former occupied the sales champion of the album chart, and the latter occupied the sales champion of the singles list. Both are newcomers, so the music market in 2001. , is indeed a newcomer in power.

After Linkin Park, the singer who won the runner-up in the year-end sales chart with more than 6 million sales was Alicia Keys, a new female singer who surprised the music scene in 2001, although she is slightly inferior in singles. Evan Bell is one step ahead, but her album sales have successfully overwhelmed Evan Bell's limelight, occupying the runner-up position on the album sales chart.

Evan Bell's "One" album lit up the sky in 2001. Whether it is sales or on-demand volume, it has created a series of outstanding achievements, and the final sales have successfully surpassed 6 million. This figure, scored 6.111 million results. However, this number was not only lost to Alicia Keys's 6.4 million, but also lost to Reed's 6.2 million, and won the fourth place on the year-end album sales chart. .

When analyzing, many professional media face up to the fact that the commercialization of iune digital music has at least caused "Yi" to lose more than one million physical sales. This figure is an estimated figure after taking into account the positive impact of digital music on physical sales, as well as the negative impact on physical sales after illegal downloads and legal downloads satisfy the listening psychology of a small number of songs. . Therefore, most of the media believe that although Evan Bell is only fourth in the year-end album sales chart, if the download part of digital music is included, "One" is also very likely to win the album.

But the fact is that Evan Bell has vigorously promoted the process of digital music commercialization, and has also sold more than six million physical albums. In the first year of his debut, he occupied the fourth place on the year-end album sales chart. high position, outstanding achievements.

Whether it is on the singles chart or the album chart, the two newcomers, Evan Bell and Alicia Keys, have indeed formed a fierce competition. At the same time, as the two most dazzling newcomers in 2001, the media will pay attention to It's natural for two people.

After Evan Bell's "One," Elb's album sales also topped six million, placing it fifth. Followed by Rock Kid (id.r), Pink Lady (in), Superboy (nyn), Arthur (uer), and John Mayer occupy the remaining positions of the top ten album sales charts.

The sales of singles and albums is not only the audience's recognition of the singer, but also a recognition of popularity and word of mouth. It is not easy for Evan Bell to achieve such dazzling results on both charts. If you analyze it carefully, Evan Bell's previous singles were independently produced and released by independent record companies; although "One" and the last two singles were released by Warner Records, they were still produced independently by Evan Bell. As an independent musician, Evan Bell shoulders the heavy responsibility of his own album producer and handed over an answer sheet that satisfies everyone.

In addition, the house of life, Linkin Park, Alicia Keys and other singers who made great achievements in 2001 are all singers with excellent singing and writing skills. Behind this situation, it also shows that the amazing talent is still the focus of the audience's most attention and favorite.

People in the industry should also note that the above-mentioned singers have gone through a lot of hard work in an unknown period, and only made great achievements through deep accumulation. From this point of view, the draft whirlwind of British Isles "pop idols" on the Europa continent also makes sense. Among all living beings, there are indeed countless talents to be tapped. No matter how many talent scouts there are, there is a limit. Only when all the people take the initiative to participate, will more musicians appear.

As 2001 entered 2002, in addition to various year-end summaries, professionals also smelled an unusual breath in the air. Perhaps, in 2002, a completely different situation will unfold due to the further development of talent drafts and the commercialization of digital music.
