Today, most media and many music fans don't pay much attention to today's pop music sales charts.
After all, everyone can tell at a glance that Wang Qian’s weekly sales are going to create a miracle again, there’s no surprise there.
Wang Qian has created such miracles many times, constantly breaking sales records and constantly breaking their cognition.
They are no longer surprised and are just looking forward to the weekend's sales figures to see how high they can break.
today.
Everyone's attention is on Wang Qian's departure from Los Angeles.
This symbolized that the musical event they were crazy about was over.
The ten players in the world championship have completely parted ways.
The many fan bases of the ten contestants no longer overlap. The loyal fans have all started to follow their favorite idol singers, and their interest in others has begun to decline sharply.
At this time.
The popularity of each of the ten contestants should decrease to some extent, and some may even see a sharp drop.
But.
The sensation caused by Wang Qian's departure from Los Angeles, the gathering of fans when he arrived in New York, and the attention his live broadcast attracted around the world all show that his popularity and attention have not diminished in the slightest, but have instead shown an increasing trend.
In comparison.
The popularity of several other popular contestants has been weakened to varying degrees.
Even Sophie, the super talented contestant second only to Wang Qian, has become much less talked about today.
Because Sophie is too low-key, her performances are not as crazy as Wang Qian's. Although she has many loyal fans, most of them don't like her jumping around and are very low-key.
Previously, Sophie had been the focus of attention because the program team helped to promote her and boost her popularity, and her popularity remained high.
But now, there is no support from the program team.
Sophie herself had no intention of focusing on the development of pop music, so naturally her popularity dropped significantly.
As for other popular contestants, Miyuki Nakamori herself is a low-key person, and coupled with the exclusion of her by European and American media, the attention she enjoys has been greatly reduced after she left the resources of the world competition program team.
Only Adam and Elizabeth have seen an increase in resources because of their upcoming new cooperation with the program team and the substantial support from the companies behind them. Their names can be seen in the media of various countries, but they are still greatly overshadowed by Wang Qian's popularity.
Many social media platforms and media are still discussing Wang Qian's departure from Los Angeles and arrival in New York. What they are discussing is what kind of changes Wang Qian's lecture at Juilliard will cause, whether it can change the current survival status of classical music, and whether he can truly become a master musician...
There is relatively little coverage and discussion about today's pop music sales charts.
However, today's sales list still surprised and shocked many people.
Especially people in the pop music and classical music circles were shocked.
Wang Qian opened the sales list and was a little surprised when he saw the numbers on it.
"I didn't expect that two relatively simple pop music pieces, one Chinese folk music and one classical piano, could achieve such sales."
Wang Qian was slightly impressed.
Whether it is Kno Heaven's Door or 500 Miles, they are both pop music with a more classic nature, which is very different from the mainstream pop music in Europe and the United States in the past decade!
Both works are relatively simple, whether it is the lyrics or the composition, arrangement, etc., compared to the current complex popular electronic music, they are all very simple.
Perhaps, this is the essence that the simpler things are, the more they can attract people's hearts.
After a day!
The song Kno Heaven's Door still tops the charts, with sales reaching a terrifying 810 million copies, truly achieving the horrific sales of over 800 million on the first day of release, and once again creating an even more terrifying record, raising the record figures on the world pop music sales chart by an order of magnitude again.
The second place is of course Wang Qian's work. The sales of this folk song 500miles are also terrifying, reaching more than 760 million. It is slightly less than the first one Kno Heaven's Door, but it is also very limited. It also created a terrifying first-day sales figure.
These two works caused a huge shock in the pop music circle all over the world.
Wang Qian took a quick look at the comment section and saw a lot of professional analysis, and they felt that these two songs were typical of the style of works from the 1950s and 1960s.
A famous North American musician commented: "These two works are the most incredible retro works. They almost perfectly reproduce the style of classic works from the 1950s and 1960s, but they are still so successful. Professor Wang Qian once again used the most practical sales data to tell us that the essence of music is the resonance of emotions, not those fancy electronic music. The more complicated something is, the more difficult it is to arouse emotional resonance among the audience!"
"Similarly, the simpler something is, the more it conquers the world, the more powerful it proves. Professor Wang Qian is doing this now."
"He conquered the world with the simplest lyrics, the simplest music, and the simplest arrangement!"
This review has received more than 100,000 votes of support.
Wang Qian also agreed.
The electronic pop music that Europe and the United States pursue now sounds too noisy. It uses some obscene and violent words to attract the attention of young people and has basically lost the pursuit of the essence of music.
certainly…
There's no point in saying this about pop music.
Because the essence of pop music lies in the word "popularity". People pursue whatever is popular. To put it bluntly, they do what the market needs.
so!
When the market demands simpler, more straightforward, and faster-paced things, those pornographic and violent electronic music become rampant.
Wang Qian's music is gradually changing this situation.
In recent weeks, we can hardly see those pornographic and violent electronic music on the weekly sales charts.
Now, Wang Qian's works are the market weather vane.
Wang Qian continued to look downward.
The third place is still Kristen, she still sits firmly in the third place, with sales reaching more than 270 million, and weekly sales are expected to exceed 500 million! The company behind her is spending a lot of money on publicity, and the sales gap with the fourth place Sophie is gradually widening.
Because Sophie no longer had the blessing of the world competition and she herself didn't care that much about pop music, so she didn't cooperate much with the agency. Naturally, the publicity was much worse than before. In addition, compared with Christine, she still lacked some foundation and accumulation. So except for some catching up in sales when it was first released, it actually started to fall behind.
However, just looking at the sales data, Sophie is still a success. Today's sales have reached a terrifying 257 million, and weekly sales are expected to exceed 500 million, which is definitely a huge success.
Similarly, the subsequent sales growth rate of Miyuki Nakamori, who ranked fifth, also slowed down a lot. Without the official promotional resources of the World Championships, and without the support of major record companies and management companies, she relied entirely on her own fans and the appeal of her works. Of course, she could not compare with the resources enjoyed by Kristen, Adam, Elizabeth and others.
However, Miyuki Nakamori still managed to hold on to the fifth position, with sales reaching over 210 million, once again proving her strength and status in the European and American music scene. Her departure from the world stage was not a flash in the pan, and she is still a powerful world-class queen.
Moreover, Miyuki Nakamori still has great potential to be tapped. When she enjoys more resource support and more publicity around the world in the future, the sales of her works will definitely rise to a higher level.
In comparison, Green, who has no signed agent or record company, does not enjoy any media resources. However, because she is a music genius from North America and a top student, she is very popular and many media are willing to promote her. Therefore, her sales are catching up with Miyuki Nakamori. She ranks sixth with sales of more than 230 million, less than 10 million away from Miyuki Nakamori.
Adam, who is ranked seventh, now enjoys the most resources in the North American music scene, even surpassing the biggest star Kristen. Both the world competition program team and the agency and record company behind him are pushing him. However, after a day's accumulation, he only managed to sit firmly in the seventh position, with sales reaching more than 190 million, and there is a possibility of catching up with Green.
In the publicity of many European and American entertainment media, Adam almost squeezed out Kristen and became a flagship figure in the European and American music scene, representing the future of European and American pop music.
A professional media said: "Adam's strength and talent are both terrifying. He is also the only singer in history who has developed rap into mainstream music. If he can win the Grammy Best Singer and Best Album of the Year awards as a rapper, then he will be the number one rapper in history."
“And now, Adam is undoubtedly the main force against Wang Qian.”
However, this statement is not recognized by most people.
Many people simply don't bother to pay attention.
After all, the gap between Wang Qian and Wang Qian is too big. Whether it is actual strength or sales performance, they are definitely not on the same level.
Not to mention Wang Qian, even Sophie and Christine are several levels ahead of Adam. Even Miyuki Nakamori and Green can easily surpass Adam.
and…
Adam's rap is still not so recognized in the mainstream circles of white people in Europe and the United States.
If Adam can really integrate rap into the mainstream circle on his own and gain their recognition in the future, then Adam's position in the history of pop music can indeed be said to be historical.
But, it seems that we are still far away from that level now.
Data shows that most of the users who buy Adam's rap works online are black people, but this part of people do not support Adam that much online because Adam is white, and most white people do not like rap that much because this type of music is black music...
This puts Adam in a very awkward position.
This is also one of the important reasons why his popularity is not that high even though he is enjoying the greatest media traffic resources at the moment.
Wang Qian took a quick look at the comments about Adam and a smile appeared on his face. He knew that Adam's current situation was indeed very embarrassing, and he didn't know if he could continue to move forward.
However, he also had to admit that Adam did have some talent in rapping.
However, Adam has only been exposed to rap for too short a time and has yet to find his own path.
perhaps…
Next time can you show him what real rap is and put him on the right path
Putting his thoughts aside, Wang Qian looked at Elizabeth, which was ranked eighth. Its first-day sales were still quite satisfactory, at 180 million. It did not fall behind, nor did it rise. It was just so stable. There were no surprises, nor disappointments.
Wang Qian quickly looked at the last two positions in the top ten.
This is the data he pays most attention to and looks forward to the most.
The ninth one is still a piano piece Nocturne, with cumulative daily sales reaching 170 million worldwide, which seems to be catching up with the eighth one, Elizabeth.
Today, a large number of media outlets are reporting and hyping the fact that Wang Qian has arrived in New York and will give a lecture at the Juilliard School, so many people have begun to pay attention to this classical piano piece by Wang Qian.
because…
A large number of media have begun to educate everyone about the significance of this opening work in Wang Qian's series of piano pieces.
I also gave you some basic knowledge about what a music master is!
so!
This resulted in strong subsequent sales of Wang Qian's classical piano piece, which did not fall behind or be overtaken by many subsequent popular pop songs.
This piano piece has become a must-learn piece for almost all piano learners around the world, and is also a required study piece in many of the world's famous classical music schools.
Because the piece was very popular and made a lot of money, they wanted to study the secret of its success.
Secondly, this work may be the starting point of Wang Qian's journey to enlightenment, and it has certain representative significance in classical music art.
Therefore, the sales of this work will definitely not be bad.
However, what Wang Qian cares about most is the piece played by the Chinese folk musical instrument suona, which is still ranked tenth, "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix!"
This suona piece has now secured the tenth position, with sales of over 150 million copies, which is a considerable gap from the ninth-ranked piano piece Nocturne. This also means that there is a significant gap in their audiences.
Of course, this is nonsense!
The audience for Chinese folk musical instruments in the world must be far less than that for the piano.
However, Wang Qian was still able to spread this suona music around the world on his own.
The first-day sales of over 150 million indicate that it must be all over the world. This song has resounded throughout the world and is played in every corner of the world.
Weekly sales must be over 300 million.
There are probably not many people in the world who have not heard this song.
That's enough.
This is of great significance to Wang Qian and Chinese folk music.
A proud smile appeared on Wang Qian's face.
The car drove steadily into New York city and headed towards the hotel we had booked near the Juilliard School.
Max saw that Wang Qian didn't close his eyes to rest, so he said softly, "Professor Wang Qian, let me discuss with you the schedule for tomorrow's lecture. How is it?"
Wang Qian's eyes flashed with curiosity: "Oh? What's the teaching process?"
He is not a formal teacher, and he has no professional training in music.
So, he really didn't know what the lecture process was like.
