Chapter 364: The First Two Million

Based on a rough estimate of the initial 125,000 albums, the 300,000 additional albums will definitely sell out, and if the follow-up response is good, we may have to add it again.

Of course, this is only a rough estimate based on the current results, and it is uncertain what will become of it in the future.

But, in any case, for the band and production team who thought the album would not be a great commercial success from the beginning, the initial move of 55,000 copies higher than the estimated minimum of 70,000 copies was already a number worth celebrating with champagne.

Of course, after the album first came out, Ye Zhao, Okuda Minsheng and Kuramochi Yoichi also held a small celebration party - although it was just a name for ordinary drinking.

"It's really good, thanks to the blessings of the two of you, I have experienced the taste of more than 100,000 initial scores. Kuramochi Yokazu joked without any burden, and didn't feel embarrassed that his band couldn't sell.

"I think that the reason why we can achieve such results is due to Ye Jun's appeal. Okuda Minsheng said, "If you are a fan of mine and see me release such an album, you will only wait for the market reaction before buying it, and you will never trust me so unconditionally." ”

"If that's the case," Cangzhi Yang Yi said with Ye Zhao open, "the two of us are the blessings of Ye Jun." ”

"That's right, yes, Tuo Yejun's blessing made us realize how happy it is to have die-hard fans who support us without hesitation. Okuda Minsheng also said so.

"When the two of you say that," Ye Zhao sighed, "Don't you really feel sorry?"

"Not really. Kuramochi didn't think twice.

…… You don't feel sorry, but I don't feel sorry. Ye Zhao thought silently, picked up the wine glass, and took a sip.

The first 125,000 tickets ranked fourth on the list, which is a relatively successful result for itself.

However, although blind buyers accounted for a large part of these consumers in the first week, the word-of-mouth of this mini album did not appear bad, but it was quite good.

Verbal reviews from consumers are not easy to collect, but the fact that there were almost no second-hand listings of the album in the second-hand market during the week of its release at least proves that the people who bought the album did not regret or deserve it.

In addition to these, the album has also received praise from music critics in music magazines and intelligence programs, especially the album's "Born in Heaven", which connects the three people together, has been widely acclaimed, and has been praised as a "dreamlike" and "poetry-like" song.

And among the six songs on the entire album, this song is also the one that has received the most praise.

is also because of the appearance of this song, which has greatly changed the impression of some music critics who think that Ye Zhao only pays attention to best-selling elements.

A music critic who is known for his poisonous tongue and once satirized Ye Zhao in an article, thinking that he "only makes music for the sake of popularity, like a craftsman who works for reward", also rarely changed his words, saying that his heart "also has romantic and naΓ―ve feelings".

Although Ye Zhao felt that he did not need to be recognized by this kind of nonsense so-called poisonous music critics, nor did he feel that there was anything to be despised about the craftsmen who worked for remuneration and the musicians who made music for the sake of selling well.

Perhaps, in the eyes of such people, it is the so-called nobility to pursue the art of freedom and then starve to death.

But on the other hand, even the music critics who are so nonsense and disagree with him have changed their tunes (although only for this song), which shows how good the reputation of this album is.

has gained such a good reputation, as well as unexpected business results, which is enough to make Ye Zhao, Okuda Minsheng and Kuramochi Yoichi feel gratified. After all, from the very beginning when they planned to form a team, they wanted to do what they wanted to do at the moment. Now that what they want to do is recognized, it doesn't get much more pleasing than that.

And the week after the release of the album of the same name "OKAY", Ye Zhao entered the singles list in his personal name with his freshly baked singles.

The two miraculous singles in March completely pushed Ye Zhao's momentum to the top.

In addition, he is known to be good at making songs based on the season, and the title song of this single has been broadcast on TV as the theme song of the newsletter before it was officially released, so this single has already received 1 million orders from record sellers before it was released.

…… It's a stark contrast to the album with zero TIE-UP and zero singles titled in a vest. Of course, that's realistic.

The new single quickly occupied the most prominent position in the major record houses from the time it was put on sale, and in the first week of its debut, there was an endless stream of consumers queuing up, holding such a single in their hands.

And the clerks of the record store also put Ye Zhao's other singles and albums next to the new singles according to the convention, which can also allow this new single to take the opportunity to drive the sales of the old singles.

Of course, this is not just for Ye Zhao's approach, every best-selling singer will do this in the record store when he releases a new work. Driving sales is just by the way, and more for the convenience of consumers who come to buy.

Before the release of this new single, after more than three months of sales, the two singles released at the same time in March have already exceeded the 1.8 million mark, and are grinding towards 2 million.

Just as it is easy to increase from 30 to 60, but it is very difficult to increase from 90 to 100, in the past three months, the sales of 1.8 million copies have almost used the sales of these two singles, so this road to 2 million has also come to the most difficult time.

What's more interesting is that when the single was just released, "KISEKI", which was inferior to "Osaka Lover/Forever ともに" in terms of sales, unconsciously caught up in the sales war for more than three months, and now, it has led the former by nearly 100,000 copies, rushing to the mark of 1.95 million copies.

With the intangible publicity effect of the release of this new single, the two old singles are back at the top of the sales charts.

At the end of the new week, the singles chart was settled, and the new single "Wave Bowl" won the weekly championship with about 800,000 copies, and threw the second place freestyle out of 800 meters.

Although there is still a considerable gap between this initial result and the million initial results created by Mr. Child, there is no doubt that in this era, this is already the top initial result, and the outside world is unanimously optimistic that if Mr. Child's initial record has a chance to be broken, Ye Zhao is undoubtedly the most powerful challenger.

However, there is another remarkable thing that is that in this week, his single "KISEKI" released in March finally managed to surpass 2 million copies.
