At this time in early 1996, even the practitioners in the pop music industry, except for a very few people, have not yet realized that the idol era is coming, and it is impossible to talk about the first year of idols.

Throughout January of the year, all musicians, all relevant radio and television stations, newspapers and magazines said: The time of female singers has arrived!

On Monday, January 6, Dongguan Bookstore's weekly sales chart of music albums was released as usual, and at the same time, the vast majority of practitioners in the industry naturally got the sales ranking with accurate data.

Generally speaking, from November to before the Spring Festival, this is about three months, which is the off-season for domestic pop music record sales and the peak season for commercial performances. The average big-name singer rarely chooses to release a new album in these three months, and most of the singers who will release an album during this time period are singers with a slightly worse market position. In fact, this time period is also the time period when big-name singers who released albums in the spring and summer will continue to harvest the remaining sales by default.

Therefore, although many singers, especially newcomer singers, have chosen to release new albums during this time period, trying to compete for the rankings in the gap period in the market, but in the sales list of Dongguan Bookstore last week, the total sales have exceeded the 2 million mark and are still maintaining a certain degree of slow decline, Liao Liao and Liu Mingming's new albums are still in the top ten, and even He Runqing's single "Half Pot Yarn", which has only been popular for two or three weeks in sales, is still ranked sixteenth.

And "Sister Sister Stand Up", which was already on the national market last week, is similar to most other new singers, and it has sold for a few days in Dongguan Bookstore. There are only less than 700 copies sold, ranking outside the top 30.

However, just after Dragon Star TV's New Year's Day New Year's Eve song was broadcast, in the remaining days of the week starting from January 1, the album suddenly exploded with huge energy!

It sold 27,194 copies in a single week. No. 1 on the album sales chart of Dongguan Bookstore!

Moreover, on this week's charts, including the albums of famous singers such as Liu Mingliang, Zhao Xinfu, and Liao Liao, the weekly sales data of all albums from second place to tenth place are added up, and there are only 29,328 copies!

In other words, the sales of the album "Sister Sister Stand Up" in the previous week. That's just about 2,000 copies lower than the previous week's total sales of the nine albums from No. 2 to No. 9 combined!

It's a complete grinding!

This extremely powerful gesture directly shocked everyone who saw this sales ranking!

Although there is a saying that "at the end of the strong crossbow, you can't wear Lu Min", compare the sales of a newly released album with the sales of an album that has been on the market for half a year. It's definitely unfair, but you must know that even the album "Liao Liao", which made Liao Liao popular, has only 14,827 chapters in its best weekly sales on the Dongguan Bookstore sales list! And Liu Mingliang's weekly sales record is slightly higher than hers, only 15,660 copies!

In the past history, Liu Mingliang's album, which once set a domestic record of 370,000 copies sold in a single week, was the highest weekly sales from Dongguan Bookstore in that peak week. It's 21,088 sheets!

There is no doubt that in the past three years or so, that achievement was once considered to be a super record that no one else could catch up with! It's at the top of the list!

Moreover, there is only one album that sells more than 20,000 copies in a single week!

However, just over three years later, the album "Sister Sister Stand Up", which was not much noticed when it was listed, became an overnight hit. It only took five days to break Liu Mingming's super record that once made him proud of the rivers and lakes in one fell swoop. And in one fell swoop, more than 6,000!

Now, this sales data record. It was raised to 27,194 pieces all at once!

Even, although it will take a few more weeks for the national sales data to be counted, according to the law of 20 times the estimated sales of each record company, the national sales of the album "Sister Sister Stand Up" this week are likely to be between 450,000 and 550,000 copies.

In other words, in addition to the weekly sales data of Dongguan Bookstore, in terms of national sales data, this album is almost destined to surpass the record of 370,000 copies that was once considered unattainable!

This series of data, this series of new records, is enough to make the entire Chinese music scene lose its voice!

However, as the first Dongguan Bookstore to get the data, in the face of this sudden new record, it still published a professional review in the Dongguan Weekly this week, specifically commenting on the emergence of this new record, although in this review, the evaluation of the album "Sister Sister Stand Up" is not completely positive, for "Rush! Rush!", "Love Me!" and "Lovelorn Front Alliance" and other fast songs, critics expressed a certain degree of dissatisfaction, and even questioned whether the best-selling of such fast songs and dances would bring about the atmosphere of "calm down and make good music" in the domestic music scene.

And this article is said to be from a big name in the circle, and it also gives merciless ridicule to the style disorder of the whole album, thinking that putting works like "Farewell" and the exotic "Evening on the outskirts of Moscow" into this album is undoubtedly a pearl of the pearl, but at the end of the article, the reviewer still turned a little stiffly back to the consistent view of Dongguan Bookstore, that is, the absolute importance of sales.

Then, without a doubt, he congratulated the entire Dongguan Bookstore on behalf of the new historical record set by this album and predicted that the album would break a series of records in the future!

On the whole, many of the statements in this review of Dongguan Bookstore are even a little contradictory, although it seems to have both positive and negative opinions, trying to make an appearance that it is standing on an objective and true standpoint, but it is difficult to hide its own loopholes - the more expert people can see that although the first to get this sales data and the first to learn about this amazing sales record, but only one night. So that Dongguan Bookstore still didn't fully react, at least it didn't really calm down and analyze this new record seriously and calmly.

They seem to be a little ...... Panicked!

But that's just the beginning.

After the announcement of the sales ranking of this issue of Dongguan Bookstore, it will start from the next day. Tons of comments popped up in an instant!

It seems that such a new record that suddenly appeared out of thin air stimulated something at once!

About the fast songs and dance songs of "Sister Sister Stand Up" and "Lovelorn Front Alliance", about the inconsistency of the style of the whole album, about the value and significance of "Farewell", about the amazing weekly sales created by this album, and about the girl group Wuxing Wusu who suddenly jumped in front of everyone. And so on, and even about the re-judgment of the four major domestic galas on the ability of newcomers and new songs to be promoted...... There are various theories, one after another, and so on.

Just this week, it seems that all the media in the country have suddenly been mobilized. Radio, television, newspapers, magazines, everyone spoke one after another, some praised and depreciated, some praised and scolded, and even many people made predictions diametrically opposed to Dongguan Bookstore: he thought that this album was just taking advantage of Dragon Star TV's New Year's Day New Year's Eve song party to sell songs along the way.

And according to the market research done by the other party. Most of the album's buyers were young students, and he believed that these buyers were pure consumers in their own right. Their purchasing power is destined to be extremely limited, and their age is also destined for them to change their preferences easily, so once this wind passes, the enthusiasm of young people will quickly fade. It doesn't take long, just this week. Sales of this album are bound to plummet!

And even on the following Wednesday, the Voice of China once again released last week's golden song on demand list on time. The two songs "Sister Sister Stand Up" and "Lovelorn Front Alliance" are both on the list in one fell swoop. ranked seventh and tenth, respectively, and the other party continued to publish signed articles one after another, insisting that such a fast song, such a girl group whose singing skills are obviously not enough to pass the test, is just a gust of wind blowing in the pop music world, and it will stop soon.

All kinds of sounds, one after another, noisy and chaotic.

The album "Sister Sister Stand Up" is like a thorn piercing the human skin, at that moment, the body's own inherent rejection reaction makes his muscles tense and control bleeding, causing the white blood cells in his body to quickly swim to this side, rushing up, trying to destroy the germs and viruses that invaded the body immediately......

It was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, and when the pebble entered the water, the water splashed, and the fish and shrimp in the lake were alarmed, and for a moment, the fish jumped out of the water, trying to see where the stone came from......

However, when the new week came, when Dongguan Bookstore released last week's music album sales chart again, everyone, all the media, and all the tones, instantly lost their voices.

Just this week, the overall sales of "Sister Sister Stand Up" in Dongguan Bookstore's branches of chain stores across the country were-

30,885 sheets!

After breaking the all-time sales record set by Liu Mingliang last week, in this week, instead of starting to plummet sales as some people and some media predicted, they climbed a big sales step again!

In this week, it not only broke the new record that it had just set the previous week, but also pushed it to an astonishing level of more than 30,000 in one fell swoop!

This is the first album in history to sell more than 30,000 copies in a single week since the establishment of the Dongguan Bookstore sales chart!

If nothing else, this week, the national sales of this album will definitely exceed 500,000 copies, and even, if you speculate to the extreme, it is not completely impossible to reach or even exceed 600,000 copies!

If the sales volume in Dongguan Bookstore for two consecutive weeks broke the record, with a cumulative total of more than 58,000 copies, which is not shocking enough, then the national sales will soon exceed one million copies in the first three weeks of listing, and it is even likely to have exceeded one million copies......

Isn't that shocking enough?

And if that's not enough, it still doesn't stop some people from coming forward and saying weird things......

On Wednesday of this week, with the release of the Voice of China's last week's golden song on-demand chart, even people who despise this album no matter how much they despise it have to keep their mouths shut.

Last week, when "Sister Sister Stand Up" and "Lovelorn Front Alliance" made the list for the first time. They ranked seventh and tenth, respectively. Among the top ten on the golden song on-demand list at that time, because Liao Liao's "Persistence", "Cheers, Friends" and "Wild Flowers" were still on the list, He Runqing's "Half a Pot of Yarn" was also still in the ninth place, plus two songs by Wuxing Wusu. Female singers have historically occupied six of the top ten seats on the golden song on-demand list, so much so that some media have begun to exclaim that "the era of female singers has come", but in fact, unlike the attitude towards Liao Liao's works, everyone has little confidence in whether these two works of this group of five girls can dominate the list for a long time. Therefore, I don't recognize the sensational statement of "the era of female singers has arrived" thrown out by some people, and I don't even bother to pay attention to it.

However, on the on-demand list of golden songs this week. When only Liu Mingliang and one song were squeezed to the tenth place among the works of male singers, and Zhao Xinfu's song was barely in the eighth place, and the other eight songs were all female singers, even the most stubborn people had to admit that perhaps, the era of the rise of female singers. It's really coming!

Among the songs on the list this week, He Runqing's "Half a Pot of Yarn" did not rush down, and still hung on the tail of the ninth place. Liao Liao's three works also maintain a strong popularity. Even "Persistence" is still firmly in the first golden position. However, "Sister Sister Stand Up" has already ranked second!

And immediately after, the dance song "Lovelorn Front Alliance" ranked third!

"Happy Baby" ranked fifth, and "Farewell" ranked sixth!

Everyone, keep your mouth shut!

Coincidentally, with the rise of female singers, the topic has been brought up a lot. Just this week, a shocking entertainment news suddenly broke out on a well-known BBS in China - Zhou Yan is divorced!

All of a sudden. Whether it was the previous criticism of "Sister and Sister Stand Up" that was too ruthless, now I am really embarrassed to turn around, or in the face of such a strange and disordered style. But it was strongly welcomed by countless people, and the album that repeatedly broke sales records made even professionals not know how to judge for a while, in short, all the media seemed to have formed a tacit understanding in an instant, and everyone suddenly turned around and turned to focus on the news of Zhou Yan's divorce.

In this week, various media have followed up, Zhou Yan's old club Xinda Records before quitting the music scene, and Zhou Yan's agent Zou Wenhuai have been bombarded by intensive media, and the news that Zhou Yan has indeed divorced has also been confirmed.

Although all the media are dispatching together, none of the media really interviewed Zhou Yan herself, but even if the news of Zhou Chang's divorce is confirmed, it has already made the domestic media music scene and fans boiling.

Don't look at Zhou Yan even when she has the best results, she is only the last of the four queens, with the sudden rise of Liao Liao, and even many media have simply removed her from the four queens, but Zhou Yan is Zhou Yan after all - her voice is unique, her personality is unique, her style is unique, and her topicality is unique.

Although the other party is also known as a talented person, and even now he is still considered one of the most promising famous writers in China to win the Nobel Prize, although the other party has shocked the national literary circle with a long poem in his early twenties, and he has been writing as he is getting older, and now he can be called a number of heroes in the domestic literary world, but Zhou Yan is such a talented and ethereal and beautiful female singer, but she took the initiative to commit to being a concubine at a young age, and it is still something that her countless fans announced that it was absolutely unacceptable back then, so that many fans gathered at that time and burned the old writer's works in public to show their indignation。

Don't say anything about the appearance of a talented woman with red sleeves and fragrance, in the hearts of literati, even if they are old, they still have a young age and are committed to being a concubine, of course, it is a great pride in life, but for fans who really like Zhou Yan, if they marry and be a wife, even if the other party is nearly forty years older than Zhou Yan, for the sake of the other party's extremely high status in the literary world, they may be able to reluctantly accept it, but marrying in the past is just to be a concubine for the dry and thin old man, which is absolutely unacceptable to everyone.

And now, Zhou Yan finally left that bad old man, and immediately let those fans who like her run to celebrate!

Although just below the BBS post, many people have begun to say something with very vicious words, "Even if you are divorced, you are already *one", "I can't like it when I think of her being by a bad old man", but the people who really hold that point of view are still a minority after all.

In this time and space, it is certain that Confucianism has been retained more and more deeply, and there is no doubt that the domestic folk customs are more conservative and attach more importance to women's chastity, but this country and this nation have not yet degenerated to the point of looking down on a divorced woman. In the time and space that Li Qian once experienced, even in the long history of 5,000 years, the era when women were really despised from the level of the whole society to remarry and divorce, in fact, there was only one Ming Dynasty, where the culture of scholars and doctors had reached its peak, and a Qing Dynasty where the whole nation groveled! As for the current time and space, there is even no Qing Dynasty, and in view of the lessons of the fall of the Ming Dynasty, the Dashun Dynasty, which was born from the peasant uprising, has changed many of the Ming Dynasty's broken problems in this regard.

So, when the news of Zhou Yan's divorce was confirmed, not only her fans cheered, but also on the variety show news sections of major domestic media, almost all the record companies that can be counted in the country also extended an olive branch to Zhou Yan through the media.

Zhou Yan's divorce, for herself, may represent pain or relief, but other people don't care about this, everyone cares more about the powerful female singer's ethereal voice, it's time to come back!

And at this time when the entertainment news across the country is unanimously discussing the divorce of Zhou Yan, discussing when the singer will officially make a comeback, discussing whose next contract will be spent, and even many media have begun to discuss with great interest the interaction between the Internet and the real world and the rise of the power of the Internet.

Dongguan Bookstore's music album sales charts were released on time.
