With the experience of the first album, when the second solo album was released, Zhao Zhenghao took the medicine according to the prescription.

Who wants to fly around the country for propaganda if they can!

Fortunately, Cho Jeong-ho's fans were quite tolerant of him, and they all accepted that he would not participate in promotional activities during the release of the new album.

Of course, this is also because Zhao Zhenghao usually interacts with fans and fans through scarves, live broadcasts, etc., and they can learn about the recent situation of idols through these ways, so they don't need to get second-hand information through TV shows and media interviews.

However, the situation in the United States is slightly different from that of the Dragon Kingdom.

Although social media is also quite developed here, the power of traditional media is still very strong, and fans and fans have also developed the habit of interacting with idols through traditional media, which requires Zhao Zhenghao to accept some TV media interview invitations.

Fortunately, Zhao Zhenghao is the most hotly discussed person at the moment with the "refusal" incident, and various interview invitations are coming one after another, he has a lot of room to pick and choose, but on programs with high ratings, win with quality, and do not need to rely on the accumulation of quantity to expand his influence.

Of course, during this period, he did not give up on communicating directly with his fans through social media.

The two-pronged approach made "Thriller" a huge hit after it was launched, both the audio source and the physical CD sales!

In the United States alone, within a week, the music sales of "Thriller" exceeded 100 million!

You must know that the total population of the United States cannot be compared with the Dragon Kingdom, which is only more than 300 million.

With such a population base, such an astonishing sales almost means that all Americans, among the main consumers of the music market between the ages of 16 and 36, have bought the music source of "Thriller"!

On the physical CD side, "Thriller" also set a record, surpassing five million sales in a single week, making it the highest-selling single in a single week to date, breaking the record in American music history and raising that record to desperate proportions!

With such phenomenal sales, it's only natural that "Thriller" landed at the top of the Billboard singles chart.

And as the official music micro-film of "Thriller" continues to be popular, the sales curve of "Thriller's physical CD" has decreased very slightly, still achieving nearly 4 million sales in the second week, and the total sales in the third week also reached 3 million.

Since the fourth week, there has been a noticeable decline in total sales, falling to less than one million, but with extremely high radio on-demand rates, it still firmly holds the top spot on the Billboard singles chart.

Moreover, driven by "Thriller", Cho Jung-ho's previous singles, "Let It Be", "Don't Cry", and even "Billie Jean", "It's My Life" and "Dangerous", have also regained the popularity of fans, and sales have rebounded.

"Let It Be" and "Don't Cry", which were originally ranked outside the 80th on the Billboard singles chart, have now both returned to the top 10.

"Billie Jean" had been on the Billboard singles chart for a year before that, and the ranking had dropped all the way to the verge of falling out of the charts, and now it has exploded again, hitting back in the top 20!

Even "It's My Life" and "Dangerous", which have long been out of the charts, have taken advantage of this craze to return to the Billboard singles chart, although the rankings are outside the 90s, and they may fall out of the list again at any time, but they have also created a miracle.

In the end, "Thriller" stayed on the top spot on the Billboard singles chart for a total of nine weeks, breaking the record set by "Billie Jean" and becoming Cho Jung-ho's single for the most consecutive weeks on the Billboard singles chart.

In fact, "Thriller" could have won more Billboard singles chart tops, and its road to winning consecutive titles was broken by another new song by Cho Jung-ho.

Two months after the release of "Thriller", Cho Jung-ho released his second single "Smooth Criminal" and released its official music video at the same time.

This MV, although it is no longer a music micro-film, but the content is also very different from the MV in the general sense, and it also tells a complete story.

This is still second, the most shocking thing is that Zhao Zhenghao once again created a dance step beyond the limit of people's imagination in this MV - an inclination of 45 degrees!

I saw that in the middle of the MV, Zhao Zhenghao and a group of warriors stood on the ground with their feet upright, but their bodies slowly leaned forward, and without any protective measures, they actually tilted forty-five degrees!

In fact, according to the calculation of the fundamental fans, the angle of Zhao Zhenghao's inclination in the MV is far greater than 45 degrees, almost reaching 60 degrees!

If the "space step" is a dance step that people with a certain dance foundation can master after some hard practice, then this "tilt of 45 degrees" is a dance step that ordinary people cannot do!

This is truly an action that only God can do!

Everyone's first reaction when they saw this action was that they couldn't believe their eyes, so they quickly pulled the video progress bar back, re-watched it over and over again, and then shouted "impossible" in their mouths while confirming it over and over again.

After seeing that action clearly, everyone invariably thought that this action must have been specially treated, it must have been done with coercion, and it was impossible to complete it without the help of any external tools!

Fans who wanted to find out flocked to Zhao Zhenghao's neck and Twitter, and asked Zhao Zhenghao how he did this action.

Zhao Zhenghao didn't bother to speak, but just uploaded a video of his usual dancing, in this video, Zhao Zhenghao was only wearing a small vest on his upper body, revealing his strong upper body muscles, and his eight-pack abs were looming, and in the practice room, he completely showed a 45-degree forward tilt!

In the video, Zhao Zhenghao's environment is impossible to set coercion, so it proves that this action is not coerced.

As for whether he used other tools, Zhao Zhenghao did not say it explicitly, and let everyone guess.

Fueled by this ultra-difficult dance move that pushes the limits of human imagination, "Smooth Criminal" sold equally well after its release, and once again parachuted into the top spot on the Billboard singles chart, where it stayed for seven weeks!

And it is still not another singer who squeezed it off the top of the Billboard singles chart, it is still Zhao Zhenghao himself!

A month and a half after the release of "Smooth Criminal", Cho Jung-ho released the third wave of the title song of the new album, "Smooth", and also released the official music video.

In the MV of "Smooth", Zhao Zhenghao didn't make any new gadgets, just showed off his figure and did his best to be sexy, and in the summer of 2013, he ignited the passion of many girls and young women!
