Yuichi Yamada first sat in front of the computer, pretended to click a few points with the mouse, and finally pointed out a chart that looked like a cake in the PPT.

"Qingjun, come and take a look, this is your single sales distribution map. Yuichi Yamada stood up and gave up his seat to Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto also did not doubt him, sitting on a chair, holding the mouse, clicking on the chart, and slowly looking at it.

Because this is a chart in the PPT, Kiyoshi Sakamoto needs to keep pulling down the page to see all the charts clearly.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto first looked at a sales distribution map and found that his single sales were mainly concentrated in Nashville, New York, and Los Angeles.

"Hmm, why don't you have a number of sales on it, only percentages?" Kiyoshi Sakamoto noticed a small flaw in the chart.

But without thinking too much, Kiyoshi Sakamoto was attracted by another chart pulled down.

This is a data graph, a billboard ranking chart for Kiyoshi Sakamoto's single.

"First week rankings... Ninety-five! What is the situation?!!" Kiyoshi Sakamoto saw an incredible number.

Ninety-five?

"When did Billboard get on the list so easily. A single with only a few thousand sales, but it can be on the list... Kiyoshi Sakamoto complained while blackening himself about his single sales.

Continue to look back, "Eh, why did you rise again this week, to seventy-five?"

Kiyoshi Sakamoto suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Looking down further, "Huh, in the third week, Billboard ranked fifty-five? This is definitely a mistake, what is your technical department doing, how can this kind of data be wrong... Kiyoshi Sakamoto complained as he turned his head behind him, wanting to complain to Yuichi Yamada that the technician had made a mistake.

Bang! Bang!

A few cannon shots exploded in Sakamoto Kiyoshi's ears at once, and Sakamoto Kiyoshi looked confused.

"Oh Kill Stack (Congratulations)!" "Oh Kill Stack (Congratulations)!"

Suddenly, in the originally empty office, a large number of people suddenly appeared, all of whom were people from several departments within Sony, such as the music department, the publicity department, the public relations department, etc., and most of the employees were there.

At this time, two people who were very familiar with Sakamoto Kiyoshi walked up to Sakamoto Kiyoshi with a long banner.

Mama Ogawa and Masaki Chiba!

Before Kiyoshi Sakamoto could speak, Kiyoshi Sakamoto saw the text written on the banner first, "Congratulations, Kiyokun Sakamoto made the Billboard Hot 100 !! single"

Kiyoshi Sakamoto had no idea what was going on now.

Seeing Sakamoto Kiyoshi looking confused, everyone laughed.

At this time, Yamada Yuichi came to Sakamoto Kiyoshi with a sign in his hand, with an expression of "treacherous plan succeeded", and said to Sakamoto Kiyoshi, "Trick Sakamoto Kiyokun, a great success!", and then revealed the sign in his hand.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto looked at the sign and it read, "The whole person is successful!"

At this time, Sakamoto Kiyoshi came back to his senses a little and asked blankly, "Is this tricking me?"

"That's right. Ogawa replied coldly.

"Then I just learned that my single is 200,000 in a single week, and the weekly crown for four consecutive weeks is also fake?" Sakamoto Kiyoshi still doesn't know where he was deceived.

"No, that's true, this week's Zhou Guan is still your single "I'm Yours", which sold 200,000 copies, and it's also true. Yuichi Yamada said.

"Eh, then which part of me was deceived?" Kiyoshi Sakamoto was blinded again.

"Hahaha, actually, your single has sold more than a few thousand copies in the United States. Yuichi Yamada explained Kiyoshi Sakamoto's confusion.

"That sold more than 10,000 copies??" Kiyoshi Sakamoto said weakly.

"It's not that little, in four weeks, 150,000 copies have been sold!" Yamada finally broke the sales of Sakamoto's list song in the United States.

"Eh, eh, ??!! 150,000? Kiyoshi Sakamoto was shocked, and at the same time, he thought that he had just seen the curve chart.

"That's right, that's your single, the ranking chart on the Billboard Hot 100, according to the latest data, your single's latest ranking is... Forty !!" Yuichi Yamada broke another shocking news.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto's single "I'm Yours" actually entered the TOP40 of the Billboard Hot 100, and it happened to be No. 40!!

As the most authoritative singles chart in the pop music scene in the United States and even European and American countries, the songs on the Billboard Hot 100 list are all songs with huge influence, whether it is sales, topicality, and fame in various aspects.

The list is based on a combination of sales, radio, streaming and other data.

"How come, my single actually sold so well?" Although Kiyoshi Sakamoto is a newcomer to the music scene, he still has a relatively good understanding of Billboard, the world's famous music chart.

It is because of understanding that I know that the difficulty of being on the billboard list is so great.

As far as Kiyoshi Sakamoto knows, since the inception of Billboard, there have been only a few RB singers whose singles have entered the top 100 of the singles chart.

More recently, Sakamoto Jiu won the first place for four consecutive weeks with the single "Walking Up" (i.e. sukiyaki) released in 1963, and the single "China Night" released by Sakamoto Jiu in 1963 reached the 58th place on the weekly chart.

More recently, in 1979, nearly 30 years ago, Pink Lady's single "KISS IN THE DARK" hit the top 37 of the singles chart.

This is the second time that an RB singer has entered the top 40 since Sakamoto Ku's "Walking Up" (i.e. sukiyaki) won the championship, and it is also the only two songs that have entered the top 40 so far.

At present, among the RB singers, only Sakamoto Ku and Pink Lady are the top 40 of the singles chart, RB's first and second members.

Other singers, such as YMO in 1980, Yu Yokokura in 1981, Loudness in 1985, etc., although they made it to the Billboard list, they were only in some small lists, such as the general list, the blues blues chart, and the closest to this record was the chorus of Seiko Matsuda in 1990 and Donnie Wahlberg in the idol boy group NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK at the time, "Right." Combination", which peaked at No. 54 on the singles chart.

Since then, there has been no RB singer in the top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100 list.

And this time, Kiyoshi Sakamoto has done many things that his predecessors can't!

Although it is not a Japanese song, it is also a song sung by RB singers.

According to the latest Billboard Hot 100 chart rankings, Kiyoshi Sakamoto's single "I'm Yours" rose again in the fourth week, from 55th to 40th!

It just happened to be the last place in the TOP40, but this ranking was enough for Kiyoshi Sakamoto to become the third person among RB singers.

In the past 25 years, the first and third RB singer in history has hit the top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100 with a single!

He is also the youngest RB singer in history to hit the Billboard Hot 100 with a single.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto learned that his single had broken a series of records, but he calmed down a little and began to analyze the reasons why his single was successful.

Great support from Sony Records, that's for sure;

There's also the high quality of the songs, which is one of the reasons;

By the way, the amazing performance of the Westlife concert is also one of the reasons.

However, these are not the most important reasons.

"By the way, Director Yamada, did my single sell quite a few copies in Nashville?" Kiyoshi Sakamoto wanted to test his thoughts.

"Well, how do you know? The main point of sale of your single is in Nashville, and it has sold 100,000 copies!! Yamada is also speculating about Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

"That's it. Kiyoshi Sakamoto muttered.

That's the point!

Nashville, this is the most important reason why Kiyoshi Sakamoto's single this time has such a considerable sales volume and has entered the TOP40 of the singles chart.

Nashville, where is this?

The birthplace of country music!

And Kiyoshi Sakamoto's "I'm Yours" happens to have two versions, one pure folk and the other folk rock, both of which just cater to the tastes of the people of Nashville.

And the song "I'm Yours" was also sung at the westlife concert, and the audience at that time was 40,000 people.

These are all potential buyers, and it's no wonder that in Nashville, as many as 100,000 were sold.

"By the way, Sakamoto-kun, your single also won the top of the country singles chart for a week. Yamada's added sentence also confirms Sakamoto's analysis.

Sure enough, the idea of singing "I'm Yours" at the westlife concert in Nashville turned out to be the finishing touch to the success of his single.

After thinking about his single, why it was successful, Sakamoto Kiyoshi only remembered at this time, he seemed to have been rectified just now...

Thinking of this, Kiyoshi Sakamoto immediately looked at Makoto Ogawa and Masaki Chiba, who were still holding banners.

"I guess you two came up with this idea. Sakamoto Kiyoshi smiled handsomely, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"What do you think?" Chiba Masaki and Ogawa Mako, both of them, also felt that the temperature around them began to drop, and they didn't know where the chill came from, eroding the two of them.

"Trick me up!" Sakamoto Kiyoshi suddenly jumped up from his chair and rushed towards the two with a fierce expression.

"Oops, I've been discovered, get out of here!" the accomplice Chiba Masaki immediately threw down the banner in his hand and shouted to the main envoy Ogawa Ma.

However, what Chiba saw was the figure of Ogawa Zhen who had run out a few meters away...

Belch...

However, Sakamoto Kiyoshi is still relatively fast.

In the end, Sony everyone laughed and watched how Kiyoshi Sakamoto punished, and the "pig teammates" of a certain two who made suggestions and tricked their teammates.

"I really thank you for your support and help, it is because of your strong support and help behind the scenes, that I have such achievements as Kiyoshi Sakamoto today, I am really grateful to you. Finally, Kiyoshi Sakamoto stood in his office and bowed deeply to the employees and people behind the scenes who came to congratulate him on the success of his single.

It was also after this "trick" that Sakamoto Kiyoshi knew that he had received so much support and trust in Sony, which also made Sakamoto Kiyoshi more confident in seizing Sony's right to speak in the future.

Those who win the hearts of the people win the world... No, Sony!
