Chapter 0169: Wolf Sales
The first place on the double list is an extremely rare honor, and a total of 50 issues of the list are released every year except for the annual event at the end of last year, and the number of times that the works of the same singer dominate the double list will not exceed five times in a year.
Even when the folk hero Xu Wei was popular two years ago, even when the rock diva Leng Youyou had just debuted and set off a storm, even Zhang Xuehua, who has been second to none in the music world recently, did not win the first place on the double list every time.
Compared with being on the list, the first place on the double list is an unattainable glory. Whether you are a third-tier newcomer, a second-tier familiar face or a first-line celebrity, even if you have reached the top and become an emperor superstar, the first place on the double list requires both strength and luck to get it.
Most of the time, being able to get the first place on one of the charts is enough to prove the strength of an album and a song.
But this week, there are albums and songs by the same singer that topped the double charts.
And this singer is not even a first-line! This made Wei Ziyun, the editor-in-chief of the billboard, very surprised.
Wei Ziyun is the deputy editor-in-chief of "Chinese Music" and the controller of the billboard, and has a huge influence in the entire Chinese music scene. Her words can often cause turmoil in the music world.
She has great prestige in the industry, not because she holds the power in her hands, but because she never looks at which record company the singer comes from, what type of songs she sings, and how good her singing skills are.
Despite this, when he sees the results that are too outrageous, Wei Ziyun will still carefully review and consider them.
At this moment, on the preliminary list in Wei Ziyun's hands, the names of the singers at the top of the list are all the same somewhat unfamiliar name: Yue Lingfeng.
Wei Ziyun knew that Yue Lingfeng was still in the last week.
At first, she only knew that Yue Lingfeng debuted with a mature image of vicissitudes of life, and was good at rock and tough style love songs, and was a singer with some distinctive personal characteristics.
But Yue Lingfeng has been tepid since his debut, and has always been in the ranks of second-tier singers, although the previous albums have sold quite well, they are still far from being on the list, and they are not in Wei Ziyun's eyes.
Until last week, Yue Lingfeng's new album "Wolf" was an unexpected success, and the sales of more than 20,000 copies in a week overwhelmed several strong competitors who released songs in the same period, and squeezed into the double charts.
Only then did Wei Ziyun notice Yue Lingfeng.
In fact, when the album "Wolf" was first released, as the deputy editor-in-chief of "Huaguo Music", Wei Ziyun once sent back a manuscript recommending "Wolf", because the author of the manuscript used a lot of praise for "Wolf", which was a little unfair in her opinion.
Later, the author revised some adjectives, and the manuscript appeared in a not too inconspicuous corner of "Huaguo Music".
Entering the double chart is already a very good result for a second-tier singer who released an album in September.
Wei Ziyun didn't care too much, because there were too many short-lived singers, and she wouldn't have to do anything else if she had to pay attention to everyone.
But right now, on the list she is holding in her hand, the first place on the double list is occupied by this singer she has never paid attention to, which makes her can't help but take a few more looks.
From September 20, 1999 to 16:00 p.m. on September 27, 1999, Yue Lingfeng's album "Wolf" sold 39,120 copies, ranking first in the "Top Ten Hottest Album List"!
From September 20, 1999 to 16:00 p.m. on September 27, 1999, the title song "I Am a Wolf from the North" of Yue Lingfeng's album "Wolf" attracted 183499 attention, ranking first in the "Top Ten Most Popular Singles List"!
If the numbers in your hand are correct, the double list is the first, and it is well deserved!
Wei Ziyun was very surprised and said: "I remember that the album "Wolf" sold less than 30,000 last week, right?"
"Twenty-three thousand. A subordinate editor had already found last week's record and immediately replied.
Wei Ziyun raised his head in surprise: "Sales have increased so much?
"After the data came back, we checked it three times and checked the original database, and there were no problems. "There is humanity.
Wei Ziyun gasped.
The sales in the second week were so much higher than in the first week!
Generally speaking, the prime sales period for an album is about three weeks.
Albums can stay hot for six or seven weeks, and at most they can exceed two months.
Albums from the biggest names can sell for five to six weeks, and if there are particularly standout songs, the popularity can be maintained for an extra week or two.
The sales period of the album of second-tier familiar faces is about a month, and some people with appeal can hold on for two more weeks.
Unless the third-line newcomer encounters such a cold and quiet existence back then, one month is the limit.
As for the street singers, although they have their own reasons for hitting the streets, most of them can only stay on the shelves of the video store for a week and then seal them in the warehouse, never to see the light of day again.
Regardless of the number of singers, the first week of the album's release is the hottest period for sales, and it is also the golden period of the golden period for record companies and singers to work hard to promote and play songs, and sales almost determine future results.
The first five thousand sales were mediocre.
In the first week, 10,000 sales, passed.
20,000 sales in the first week, good.
The first three million sales, excellent.
The first 50,000 sales, excellent.
As for the 100,000 sales in the first week, there are only three people in the entire Chinese music scene who have created similar miracles, one of them has long since retired, and the other two are like the sun and moon in the sky, which is admirable.
After the first week, sales generally decline slightly in the second week as the publicity power weakens, and then gradually declines from the third week.
There are not many examples of second-week sales higher than the first week, and most of them are albums with excellent word-of-mouth, such as Xu Wei and Leng Youyou.
But who are those two people?
Xu Wei is a folk hero, a sentimental singer respected by everyone in the music scene, and what his fans buy is not actually a song, but a feeling, which cannot be judged by common sense.
Leng Youyou is an unborn genius, debuting as a rebellious girl, and her debut rock album shocked everyone's attention, and it was placed in the most prominent position in major video stores for ten weeks, selling nearly 700,000 copies. In the following more than a year, the album still maintained a very high momentum, with a total sales of more than one million copies, and undoubtedly won the double platinum result, becoming the youngest singer ever to win a double platinum!
Now, there is another person who has done what Xu Wei and Leng Youyou did.
The sales of 23,000 copies in the first week are a dark horse, but they can only be called a good performance.
39,000 copies sold in the second week, but it was enough to impress everyone!
How did this dark horse escape?
