King for a day?

I know, of course I do!

For two consecutive years, the Grammy Awards Ceremony has dedicated wonderful performances and broke the historical record to become the first singer ever to win the four major comprehensive awards. How could it not be known?

From the Coachella Music Festival to the "Departure" tour, live performances are always full of unique charm. They have been on the hot search list many times before and after, and they have a good reputation among passers-by and audiences. Of course you know them!

He performed well in the "Jimmy Feather Show" twice before and after. The Grammy red carpet triggered a three-finger ceremony frenzy. Even facing reporters' siege, the topic was so full that it could not be ignored.

In just over a year, the name "One Day King" has been exposed at the top in frequency. The three No. 1 singles on the Billboard Singles Chart are the most direct proof that they have become the hottest and most widely known. Young bands have always stood on the cusp of the wave and have won countless attention.

but!

Does this mean that album sales are good?

Obviously not. Although Backstreet Boys and Super Boys were in full swing, they also created a single-week album sales exceeding one million feats, but the times are different.

Look at the Jonas brothers, look at Justin-Bieber, look at the one-way combinations, just take out one of them is a topic maker, wherever you go, you can scream and cheer, and you can easily make every move. Social networks create storms, and hotspots and disputes are intertwined into a big web, everywhere.

However, their album sales have never been able to break the shackles, and the super popularity is after all just a carnival among crazy fans.

So is the same with the king for a day?

Objectively speaking, the year-end sales of "Seven" last year are really eye-catching, and the long stamina has been running through. After entering 2014, sales are still stable, demonstrating the energy comparable to "21". This year Grammys once again included one The gramophone trophy also further proves the album's popularity.

However, "Nine" is another brand new story.

Without Grammy’s halo bonus, relying only on the band’s own appeal to drive album sales mainly depends on how many loyal fans and passers-by audiences are left behind by "Seven", and it also depends on how much inspiration the "Nine" carries. 、Whether the band can continue to meet expectations after its blockbuster.

Undoubtedly, this is an arduous task, and countless stern tasks have been stumbled. One day the king needs to face a new round of challenges head-on.

Before the Grammy Awards ceremony, the troika momentum has not yet formed. Some insiders have objectively and calmly analyzed that the King, Pharrell Williams and Shakira should all be at a relatively close level for one day.

Based on the data of the past year, the first week sales of King and Farrell’s albums should fluctuate between 250,000 and 300,000, and Shakira’s first week sales should be between 200,000 and 200,000. Fluctuates between two hundred and fifty thousand.

Such data is not high, but not low.

As a reference, Bruno Mars's album "Mars Jukebox", which was the best-selling year-end last year, sold 520,000 in the first week. However, the decline of rock and roll that has been declining in recent years can be clearly seen-

The Blessed Son’s "Tower of Babel" sold 100,000 in the first week, the Muse’s "The-2nd-Law" sold 470,000 in the first week, and Lincoln Park’s "Life-Evolution-Origin" ( “Living-Things” sold 447,000 in the first week, while Magic Red’s “Overposed” sold only 26,000 in the first week.

All of the above are albums released in the last two years.

Unbelievable?

But this is the status quo of the entire market!

The magical red band that seems to be booming, the first wave of "Super Exposure" title song "Payphone" ranked second on the billboard singles chart, with outstanding results; and the home game Adam Levin (Adam-Levin) Levine was also a mentor at "Voice of America", and his exposure was soaring, but the album sales were in a mess.

Similarly, the muse band and Lincoln Park, which have been in the music industry for many years, have a large and strong fan base, but the album sales in the first week still cannot explode more energy, compared to Taylor Swift and Justin Timberlake. Zhou Po million's results are too inferior.

Even Bruno is no exception-the "Mars Jukebox" can reach the top of last year's championship, relying on stamina, rather than explosive power in the first week.

In such a comparison, professionals' estimates of the sales of One Day King and Farrell's albums in the first week appear very calm and objective, because this is the current market situation.

Especially for rock bands like King One Day, the success of "Seven" is more due to the flash of Grammy's history. If "Nine" wants to continue such a feat, the degree of difficulty is doubled. Times up.

but!

The actual situation far exceeded expectations, far, far away.

On the first day of the official release of "Nine", the corners and corners of the entire North American continent could feel this frenzy, not to mention the nationwide heat wave created by the "Today Show"——

According to the Nielsen report, the ratings of the "Today Show" exceeded 9 million for the first time in history, more than double the average ratings of morning news programs, creating an incredible amount in the history of American morning TV programs. Record and witness the feat of nine million people watching the King’s performance online at the same time.

Shocked! Shock! And... shock!

Even Atlantic Records did not expect it. Then, the King ushered in a blowout in one day, a whole year of preparation, a whole year of climbing, a whole year of accumulation, all the energy was waiting for a moment to erupt, and "Nine" is such a perfect moment!

Three hundred and thirty thousand!

First day sales!

The sales of "Nine" on the first day of Friday easily broke expectations, exploding with an energy of 330,000. The understatement made the predictions of professionals so ashamed to want to disappear immediately, and even easily surpassed Lincoln Park and Muse. The band and other rock giants have created great achievements~www.readwn.com~A set of numbers can see the appeal of the king in today's music market——

If singles reflect the popularity of the entire market and albums reflect the enthusiasm of diehard fans, then things can reveal some clues.

In the scope of the national market, the decline of rock and roll has not been able to overturn in one fell swoop, so the "young enthusiasm" with the help of the Grammy live broadcast accident is still not successful, after all, it still lacks a sigh of relief.

But among veteran fans, music is music, and has nothing to do with genre or style. Good music has its own voice, which is intoxicating and joyful, just like faith. The three-finger gift spread from Coachella Music Festival to this year's Grammy red carpet has already heralded the "Nine" sales frenzy.

One day King, for them, is not only a rock band, but a friend, a belief, a leader, and a king.

So, "Boom", the first day of sales just ushered in an explosion!

However, this is only the beginning.
