Chapter 288: Chinese Song Chart
Albert was removed.
This is the news that Lao Dong got from Scott, but because the two parties have issued a contract termination agreement, the cooperation is irretrievable, and the lawsuit may still be fought.
The company organized a team of lawyers and intensively prepared for the lawsuit, while the Black Hole Band returned to Los Angeles to continue filming the MV.
There are a total of 12 songs on the album, except for "Boulevard?of?Broken Dreams", which made an MV, the rest of the songs didn't have time to shoot the MV.
On the day of the filming of the music video for "Have?A Nice Day", the single ranking of "Losing?My Religion" entered the Hot 100, which also marked the first time that a band or singer from Asia had reached this achievement.
The news was transmitted back to China, and the last few people who were still struggling to discredit Xinghai Culture and the Black Hole Band were gagged, and the Black Hole Band proved with sales that they had officially entered the American market!
The media hyped up the news, and the public accounts of self-media such as Biggle and Baijia were crowned with various eye-catching titles.
"Black Hole Makes History, Coming to the Top of the U.S. Billboard!"
"Foreigner's favorite Chinese band, there is no doubt about the first!"
"Their albums are selling like crazy in the US!"
"The first person in history!Black Hole Band was a great success in the United States!"
With more and more reports, the Black Hole Band has once again appeared on the hot search list of various platforms, and the momentum is even greater than that of Columbia's recent lawsuit against Xinghai Culture.
Many netizens don't care who is in a lawsuit with whom, but they are still quite interested in such unprecedented news that the Chinese band has reached the top of the American music scene.
As a result, even the two Chinese albums with the Black Hole Band also sold well, and many fans even registered accounts on American YouTube, Twitter, Billboard and other platforms over the wall to cheer for the Black Hole Band.
Some people even paid attention to a piece of news that a novice purchasing agent carried more than 100 copies of the American version of the album released by the Black Hole Band in the United States, which was detained by customs.
According to her confession, she saw that someone in China was asking for purchase on the Internet, saying that they wanted to collect it, and the maximum price of each sheet was more than 200, so she thought about it and bought more than 100 copies and wanted to bring them back for resale.
You must know that audio-visual products are things that are expressly prohibited from being imported without permission, and although the album is the work of a Chinese band, the distributor is Colombia, which belongs to the controlled area.
This is an obvious act of smuggling.
But fortunately, the amount did not reach the standard of sentencing, and in the end it was only a triple fine and 15 days of detention.
However, this news still made Niu Li quickly ask the Propaganda Department to issue a statement overnight, condemning this behavior and expressing her support for cracking down on smuggling, piracy and other behaviors.
She had to be careful, it wasn't a joke.
Fortunately, she asked in time, and the next day she received a call from the Cultural Affairs Bureau and was beaten.
Some people above suspected that this was news that Xinghai deliberately made up to hype.
Xinghai Culture's usual reputation is not bad, and after learning that it has nothing to do with Xinghai, the leaders didn't say anything, but just asked them to pay attention to the impact and continue to work hard.
Niu Li didn't dare to ignore it, and let the Propaganda Department be responsible for guiding, and shifted the attention of netizens to the overseas sales of the Black Hole Band's albums.
With the addition of a large number of domestic new forces, the sales and ranking of "Rock?or Bust" have risen again, and the current single ranking is as follows.
"Welcome?to the Jungle" ranked 55th
"Come As You Are" ranked 49th
"Have a Nice Day" No. 23
"In the End" No. 33
"We Are the Champions" No. 54
No. 86 in "Nemo".
The Final Countdown ranked 8th
"Enter Sandman" No. 64
"Rock or Bust" No. 28
No. 17 in "Boulevard of Broken Dreams".
"Losing My Religion" No. 99
"Whole Lotta Love" No. 75
The highest ranking is still "The Final Countdown", which became popular with the Rockets, and regardless of the results, the Rockets have the highest topic in the league this season.
And the Rocket Club also reciprocated by helping the Black Hole Band contact the Johnson Space Center and make an appointment so that the Black Hole Band could shoot the music video there.
If you're lucky, you might even be able to get inside the space shuttle and shoot it!
But before that, the Black Hole Band had to return home.
This year's Huaguo Song Chart Awards Ceremony is about to start.
The Huaguo Song Chart Awards Ceremony is one of the most representative and authoritative music awards ceremonies in China, held every two years, and this year is the 22nd.
It's been two years since the release of Black Hole's second Chinese-language album "Rock 'n' Roll Power", and it was the sales champion last year, and it's still this year.
In the past two years, this album has won seven or eight music awards, but at that time, because of schooling, most of the time was collected by the company.
This time, they really have no reason to miss the Huaguo Song Chart Awards Ceremony.
A total of 24 awards have been set up on the Chinese Song Chart, and this year's Black Hole Band has been nominated for a total of 7 awards.
Among them, the band Black Hole received two nominations, Best Album and Most Popular Band Group.
And Cao Wu, as an individual, won five nominations in one fell swoop, becoming the most topical existence in the entire award ceremony.
He was nominated for Best Lyrics, Best Composition, Best Arranger, Best Single Producer and Best Album Producer, plus two for Black Hole, almost all of the most prestigious awards at the entire awards ceremony.
So when the Black Hole Band stepped onto the red carpet outside the Taipei Arena, they were flooded with flashing lights.
"Look here!"
"Black Hole!
"Cao Wu, can I ask you a few questions?"
The reporters were blocked off the red carpet by the isolation belt, and they could only shout at the top of their voices from afar, and the scene was chaotic and lively.
It's the end of December, and although Taiwan Province is close to the tropics, the weather is still a little cold.
But for the stars on the red carpet, the weather is never a hindrance to the headlines.
Before the Black Hole Band debuted, she was a female singer who won the golden song of the year, and her stage name was Jiaojiao, who was known for her hot body and bold style.
The annual golden song is the most goldless award in the Chinese song list, and it is also an award for pork, and dozens of people win it every year.
Although most of the winners have a certain degree of popularity, singers and artists who are a little self-assured will not take this award too seriously.
She had been on the red carpet for nearly five minutes, and was urged by the security guards several times, but she couldn't finish the last stretch of the red carpet.
Seeing the Black Hole Band on the red carpet, she carried a gauze skirt as thin as cicada wings, ran a few steps here, and wanted to come over to take a group photo, but was directly stopped by the fast-eyed security guard and pushed in.
The reporter with a good thing pressed the shutter and recorded this funny picture.
This kind of photo can't be on the front page, at most it will be hung in the gossip area to fight for eyeballs, but Jiaojiao's purpose has also been achieved.
Good news and bad news are better than nothing.
