Chapter 0230: Occupy the Billboard
What is the hottest thing in the United States during this time?
The Rangers, of course!
Of course, it's the magical Chinese kid Li Yue!
One album and twelve songs landed on the Billboard TOP50, especially the top three on the list, which was firmly occupied, and this sweeping momentum made all Americans look sideways. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Generally speaking, the average listener doesn't pay attention to who the songwriter is when they listen to the song.
But the first songwriter of these twelve songs of the Rangers Band is Li Yue, who occupied the top three positions in the first week of the airborne billboard, and in the second week, seven songs entered the top 15 on the billboard, and after the word-of-mouth fermentation in the third week, seven songs entered the top ten on the billboard, and the remaining five songs also entered the top 20, and the top three on the list are still occupied by "Wewillrockyou", "Hotel California", and "YougiveLoveAbadname".
With the successful conclusion of the concerts in Los Angeles, New York, and Washington, Li Yue led the Wanderers to sweep the United States with a rock trend.
Even though the current subprime mortgage financial crisis in the United States is getting worse, the concert is still full.
In the third week, the sales of the band's first official album officially exceeded 10 million copies!
In the United States, records sold more than 10 million copies are known as diamond records, platinum records are 1 million platinum records, and gold records are 500,000 gold records. The number of distributions is officially announced, and the final actual sales are announced by the RIA (Recording Industry Association of America website). Diamond, Platinum and Gold Records have different certification systems around the world. For example, in Japan, platinum albums are albums that have sold more than 250,000 copies, and in the United Kingdom, platinum albums are albums that have sold more than 300,000 copies. However, in China, due to the disparity in culture, geography and sales, especially the increasingly developed Internet, more and more network downloads, people are more inclined to download online, the sales of physical records are greatly affected, and the definition of gold records and platinum records is also different, according to the domestic record market in China, gold records refer to albums that sell 100,000 copies, platinum albums refer to albums that sell 500,000 copies, and diamond records sell 1 million copies.
From this point of view, the Chinese market does not make as much money as the European and American markets, of course, the main channel for domestic singers in China to make money is not to sell records, but to make money by going to the holes. For example, if you sell a gold record, the actual promotion cost is much greater than the profit of the record, and you are making a lot of money, but once you have a gold record, you can be regarded as a singer who has entered the stream, and the appearance fee for singing can reach 100,000 yuan, and you will work hard for a year, and you will have a million or even more than 10 million income.
In Europe and the United States, it is difficult for an album to break through the platinum record, such as the first album of the Rangers, which can reach the height of a diamond record, which is achieved by the convergence of many factors. First of all, Time Warner, as the largest music distribution company in the United States, has a strong ability to promote and distribute a large proportion; secondly, the quality of this album really has nothing to say, not to mention anything else, as far as Li Yue took out these songs, the first can be promoted as the title song of other people's albums, but it was packaged into an album, this album is unceremoniously said, that is a classic collection album, which can be used for collection, which accounts for at least 70% of the credit, and finally, the Wanderers shine at the South by Southwest Music Festival, the largest music festival in the United States, which is the role of the main venue of the music festival as a sing, and the effect of the music festival has slowly fermented in recent months, so that the Rangers are by no means nobodies.
The convergence of these three points has created the Wanderers' debut album to exceed 10 million sales.
When the concert in Las Vegas was approaching in the fourth week, Li Yue's solo album "Lee" had been fully produced.
Ten songs!
《baby》、《aslongasyouloveme》、《aslongasyouloveme》、《mylove》……
It's another album full of sincerity!
The first one is a classic!
Even Jonas couldn't bear to put these good songs on one album, and in his opinion, taking two of these songs at random and pairing them with a few songs could create four or five good quality albums.
"I'm Chinese, not American! I have black hair, black eyes, yellow skin, I don't have blond hair, I don't have blue eyes! If the first album can't be an instant hit, I think the American people won't accept my solo album!" Li Yue disagreed with Jonas's dissuasion, since he wants to be a blockbuster in the United States, he must be different and crush all criticism with strong strength!
"Well, you're right! Lee, why don't you want to become an American citizen? That way, you'll have to face a lot less setbacks!" Jonas said.
"I have no intention of changing my nationality!" Li Yue was not willing to discuss this issue with him at all.
"First print run of 10 million copies!?" Jonas heard Li Yue's insistence, so he didn't say anything more and shifted the topic to this album.
Li Yue fell silent, will the first 10 million tickets be more.
I am different from the band, even if the Rangers are the lead singer and captain, but Gates, George, Daniel, and Jack are authentic Americans, and with them, it is easier for the American people to accept the Rangers. But the album released by himself alone is different, and no one can say whether the American people will resist because of their identity and appearance.
"Let's fill 2 million sheets first!
"2 million!?no, that's too little!Lee, you have to have faith in yourself, you have to have faith in your songs!" Jonas shook his head, he didn't want to face the seller's demand again.
"No one knows what the attitude of the market is towards me, Jonas, your plan is too radical!"
"Those 2 million copies are too little! Maybe not even three days will not be enough, the quality of this "Lee" is definitely diamond record-level, and it can even sell two or three diamonds, just like this album by the Rangers, this is a classic archival album!" Jonas still insisted on his opinion.
"I don't have any doubts about the quality of the songs, I'm very confident in my songs, but it takes time to ferment, and it needs the public's word of mouth to spread the word! So, I don't think the sales of "Lee" will be as good as the band's album, so we don't need to occupy inventory to waste time!"
"5 million! 2 million is too little!" Jonas was convinced.
"Well, then 5 million!" Li Yue didn't think much of himself and gave in. (To be continued.) )
