Robert, O'Connor, Lillard and others are all staring at their phones in a daze at this moment!
Robert slid his fingers solemnly, trying to find where his name was!
Although he released the song in a hurry this time, the work was indeed carefully prepared. The original plan was to release the song recently, but it was postponed for a while because of the World Championship. He is very confident in the quality of the work, which took a lot of effort from him and his team.
Today's pop music scene is different from that of 20 years ago. At that time, singers released albums one after another, so some of these works were definitely not produced with full dedication.
Nowadays, the song production cycle for big-name singers is much longer than before. Neither the singers nor the companies have the time and energy to produce an entire album to test the market. They will invest a lot of resources in one song, make it a success, and then slowly produce the album!
so!
Every work released publicly by a big-name singer is definitely not a hastily produced piece of trash, but a masterpiece carefully produced by a team.
Robert wanted to prove himself once again, so he naturally devoted himself to this work. The song definitely has his own flavor and is very suitable for repeated listening.
Friends and team who heard this song all praised it for its potential success.
But…
Robert tried to search with trembling fingers.
There is absolutely no place for him in the top ten.
eleven
It’s not him, nor the singers around him, it’s still The Voice contestant, Elizabeth!
twelve
It's still not him, it's Adam.
Thirteen
Robert's breathing quickened before he saw his name.
Ranked thirteenth is still Adam!
fourteenth
Robert felt a little dizzy. Number Fourteen was not him, but the little queen Elle who created the miracle of sales exceeding 100 million in a single week last week. Of course, Elle is no longer the little queen now. She has been recognized by people inside and outside the circle. She has been officially crowned and stands at the top of the contempt chain in the pop music scene.
However, Elle, who entered the top ten last week and had sales of over 100 million, can only rank 14th this week!
The competition is so fierce, it's terrifying.
fifteenth…
Robert still didn't see his own name, nor did he see the names of O'Connor, Lillard, Yuna and others.
Fifteen, and The Voice contestant Elizabeth!
Without a doubt!
The contestants who performed on the Voice of China World Competition stage had absolute market popularity. Even Adam and Elizabeth, who were eliminated, had market popularity that exceeded that of the current kings and queens of the music world...
Robert felt sad, not knowing whether it was right or wrong for him to release a song to ride on the popularity of the song!
However, I have watched all four contestants of The Voice of China...
It's finally their turn, right
Sixteenth, a strange name surprised Robert, Green
Who is it
Robert thought about it carefully and remembered who it was. It was the runner-up who was eliminated by Adam on the North American Voice stage. He also released a new song this week to officially debut.
I didn’t expect that the current ranking would be so high
Are you still above the superstars like me
Robert felt inexplicably annoyed. Why
Why can a player who was eliminated long ago and has never appeared on the world stage be so popular
Seventeen
Robert finally saw a familiar name, it was Yunna!
He looked at Yunna, who was also sitting on the sofa not far away and staring at her phone in a daze, and continued to look for himself.
At eighteenth place is O'Connor, followed by Sheena. Sheena, who released a song with Adam last week, took the opportunity to release a new song this week. Her ranking is surprisingly good now
Robert was in a trance and felt that there seemed to be something wrong with his thinking!
There are nearly 20 of them, how can they be so good
If it were in the past, ranking around 20th would be a definite failure, right
But now...
He instinctively felt that Xina's ranking of nineteenth was already good
Robert continued to look and finally saw his name in the 20th place!
It ranked 20th, and within five minutes, the sales reached 1.7 million. Such sales in just five minutes would have been an absolutely surprising result in the past. It could almost secure the top spot in the weekly sales chart, with sales of at least 50 million in a week.
But now, he suspected that he might not even be able to stay in the 20th place, because there were two divas and many first-line singers releasing new works behind him, and the sales gap between them and his own was not too big, within a hundred thousand. Perhaps he could catch up in a few minutes.
Robert leaned back in his chair somewhat dejectedly, feeling discouraged.
He didn't think about defeating Wang Qian to win the championship. He knew that was a dream. He didn't dare to think about it even in his dreams. He just wanted to get into the top ten or top fifteen, to stabilize his fame and make a lot of money. If he could cause some trouble for Wang Qian and take away some of Wang Qian's popularity and traffic, it would also be good.
But he didn't expect that he could only rank 20th and could be overtaken at any time. If he wasn't careful, he might drop to 25th.
The competition is too cruel and fierce.
It made him feel ashamed that his integrity had been lost in his later years.
Lillard was silent for a while, then smiled, patted Robert on the shoulder and said, "Don't be discouraged, man. Don't look at the rankings or anything like that. We only look at sales. In just five minutes, we have sold one or two million units. Isn't that good enough? This is far beyond our best performance before."
"I estimate that your total sales this week will be at least 50 million. Did you dare to think of that before? I can achieve at least 60 million sales. I am very satisfied."
"I'm already planning my next new song! Hopefully it can be finished this week and released next Monday. Man, we should think about how to keep releasing one song per week during the World Championship as much as possible, and it must be good. This is our opportunity."
"We are old now. Let them fight for the ranking."
"It's enough for us to make money and sing!"
Lillard's words were sincere and heartfelt, and they made Robert and the people around him feel much more relaxed.
Indeed…
Their defeat was irrefutable, and it is difficult to find their names on the list.
But…
So what
They had good sales, far exceeding their previous best sales.
With weekly sales of over 50 million, they can get a very high share of the profits given their status, at least 60% of the revenue, which means at least 30 million US dollars in revenue. What else do they want
Hurry up and find someone to continue producing new songs, and release them next week, so that we can make money in the market!
Don’t even think about defeating Wang Qian!
That's something that doesn't exist.
Just make your own money.
Figured this out.
Many singers who loved Wang Qian suddenly felt enlightened. They felt that the world had become more spacious, and they even felt a little grateful to Wang Qian in their hearts.
because…
They all know it clearly.
It was Wang Qian who activated the entire pop music market and brought them this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make a lot of money.
O'Connor also laughed, raised his glass, and said, "Yes, Lauber, Yunna, guys, let's have a drink and make a fortune for us!"
Yunna gradually relaxed. The sales of her work within five minutes were about 2.7 million. The download sales in a single week were expected to be at least 70 million. The net income would be around 40 million. Excluding the share from the agency, she herself would have more than 30 million.
With the status of Queen Yuna, her annual income before was at most around 20 to 30 million US dollars, and that was the income from various endorsements and advertisements. It would be very high for her to earn 15 million US dollars a year just by releasing works.
And now, she earns more than 30 million a week just from the downloads of her works, which is a good thing she never dared to dream of before!
Yunna picked up the wine glass, and all the negative emotions she had just felt disappeared, replaced by excitement. Her face flushed, and she said loudly: "Let us welcome this new era!"
Everyone became excited.
Several first-line singers who released songs together saw that their sales were also good. Although their ranking was very low, around 30th, their sales were much higher than before, and they were all big winners in terms of money.
Why do people debut by singing and releasing albums
Dream
Defending the honor of the music industry
Stop being funny!
In North America, where capital is supreme, everything everyone does is for profit.
It's enough to make a lot of money.
Everyone happily drank a drink together.
No one mentioned again that they had gathered together to assassinate Wang Qian.
But when they looked at the name that was ranked first.
Still feeling dizzy.
They were not allergic to Wang Qian's name, but they felt terrified by the string of numbers behind it.
They can all make a lot of money!
Wang Qian’s three works occupy the top three places. How terrifying is his income
Robert's mood also relaxed a little. After drinking a glass of wine, he also laughed. However, seeing Wang Qian's name in the top three on the list, he still felt irritated.
However, looking at those strings of numbers, my mentality became much calmer.
There was nothing he could do about it.
He can only take care of himself.
I want to kill the enemy, but I am powerless to save the situation!
What to do!
However, think about Wang Qian’s possible income.
Robert's heart was also full of jealousy.
In just five minutes, the number of downloads of don't cry, which ranked first, exceeded 48 million. Will it exceed 100 million in half an hour
What about a day
What about a week
When Wang Qian mentioned before that the single had sales of over 400 million in the first week, Robert felt a little disdainful and thought Wang Qian was dreaming.
But now look...
Robert feels that even sales of 400 million may not be Wang Qian’s end point.
Wang Qian has created more than one such work.
The second-ranked song, "Someone Like You", also broke through 46 million in five minutes, almost as much as the first-ranked "Don't Cry!"
Similarly, the sales of smells like teen spirit, which ranked third, also reached a terrifying 44 million!
This kid!
It's really terrifying.
Robert also likes these three works very much, and he knows that they will be a great success once they are launched on the market.
However, he could not have imagined that he could be so successful.
They still have hope that Christine, who had been defeated once by Wang Qian last week, can defeat Wang Qian this week.
Unfortunately, Kristen couldn't even make it into the top three this time, and could only rank fourth. The sales volume reached 21 million, which is absolutely terrifying, but it couldn't beat any of Wang Qian's three works, and was not even half of the third place.
Basically, Christine has lost all chance of defeating Wang Qian at this point.
Robert's thoughts were completely extinguished.
Throwing these thoughts aside, Robert raised his glass again and shouted, "Let us thank this era for giving us new opportunities!"
Thank you for this era!
It was basically an admission, thanking Wang Qian for giving them the opportunity.
because!
They all knew that this era was opened by Wang Qian.
The golden age of pop music began because of Wang Qian.
Their intention to suppress Wang Qian was completely shattered.
…
Adam is in the hotel at the moment, discussing the next developments with his agent Eric.
The top producer Winston, who they collaborated with, has already retired, and their cooperation contract will last until Adam leaves the world competition stage.
When Adam was eliminated, their cooperation ended automatically. If they wanted to invite Winston again, they would need a new contract and a new offer.
Adam and Eric are now paying attention to the new week's pop music sales charts.
Seeing Wang Qian dominating the top three positions, Adam smiled bitterly and said, “Sure enough, he can’t be stopped. No one can stop him, not even Kristen.”
Eric patted Adam and said nothing.
Because Adam always regarded Wang Qian as his biggest opponent, but Adam had never competed with Wang Qian and was eliminated before he even met Wang Qian.
It would be a bit ridiculous to still consider Wang Qian as an opponent now.
Let's defeat Sophie first...
However, seeing that Wang Qian, Christine, and Sophie occupied the first eight positions, Eric and Adam were speechless.
Adam can only be ranked ninth!
Fortunately, the sales were very good, even higher than last week, with sales of 20 million in just ten minutes. This data is simply explosive.
However, with such explosive sales data, it can only rank eighth!
Adam felt a sense of frustration that he was born at the wrong time.
It’s not that he’s not strong enough, it’s not that he doesn’t work hard enough.
The opponent is really too abnormal...
In just ten minutes, he had sales of 20 million, which was an absolutely world-shocking sales figure at any time before.
But now, I am only qualified to be ranked eighth!
because…
First!
He didn't even dare to look closely.
Eric whispered, "Wang Qian, this is really horrible. God, it's only been ten minutes. The sales have already exceeded 70 million. What's wrong with this world? So many people don't sleep or rest, just waiting to download his songs? Do they have to listen to his songs first?"
Eric was very confused.
Both of them couldn't understand...
Why do so many people support Wang Qian's work so crazily
Three songs, in just ten minutes, all sales exceeded 65 million, with the top one already exceeding 70 million!
Once again, three songs occupied the top three places, with the third place leaving the fourth place Christine with a sales gap of 30 million!
Sophie, who ranked fifth, only had sales of over 32 million, which is 3 million away from Kristen.
Looking at those numbers...
Adam was in a heavy mood.
After Eric finished speaking, he noticed that Adam was in a bad mood, and hurriedly comforted him: "Adam, we don't need to compare ourselves with Wang Qian and Su Fei anymore. Brother, we need to prepare for future development. Although your result is only eighth, it is already very good. You broke through 20 million in ten minutes. I am sure that you will break through 100 million tomorrow! You can also achieve sales of over 100 million in a single day. This is enough to go down in history!"
Adam thought about it and it seemed to be true.
Even though it is only ranked eighth, it is enough to create a historical record of single-day sales exceeding 100 million!
It’s also very awesome.
Eric continued, "What we have to do now is to strike while the iron is hot. We will gather the team this week to start producing new songs and try to release them next week. Now is the best time for the entire pop music scene and we can't miss it. Although Wang Qian is terrible, I have to say that all singers should thank him, otherwise we wouldn't have such good sales and wouldn't make so much money."
"I just hope that Wang Qian can perform more shows on stage. That will be good for us and the entire world pop music scene. We can all make more money together."
Adam fell silent, thought for a moment, and nodded, "Okay, you contact Winston and find a few creators who are good at rap, and I will start working tomorrow."
Making money is important.
…
The entire world's music scene is in shock at this moment.
because…
Less than half an hour.
Wang Qian once again created a miracle. (To be continued)
