The explosive increase in album sales of the Sunken-Sink Band has made those die-hard fans around the world who belong to the Sunken-Sink Band start the countdown to "10 million" sales. In just over two months, more than 7 million copies have been sold worldwide, of which nearly 5 million have been contributed by Asian fans.
Compared with European and American singers, the proportion of album sales is mainly in European and American countries, under normal circumstances, each singer's album sales will naturally be higher in the country where he debuted, and the region he is most familiar with. This is natural, after all, although the world is more connected these days, the singer will not divide her time evenly among each country, which country she has been in for a long time, how long she has been developing, and which region fans are most familiar with, these are all reasons for the surprise of album sales.
And when impacting world-class singers, about that piece of world popularity, in addition to the popularity in a broad sense, there is also a specific numerical standard when counting album sales.
That is, the region can only account for 70% of the annual sales of albums at most, which means that the sales of albums in foreign countries (in this case, countries on other continents) account for more than 30% of the total annual sales.
For example, when Avril's first album reached 10 million sales, out of the total sales of 10 million albums, more than 5 million were sold in North America, and more than 4 million were sold in Europe and Asia, so that her albums accounted for more than 50 percent of the sales in this region, that is, North America, within 70 percent. And the album's sales in foreign countries are more than 4 million, accounting for more than 40 percent of the total sales, more than 30 percent. That's what it takes to get to the world.
Otherwise, just talking about world popularity, many people are easy to take advantage of loopholes, and it is not easy to determine, so after quantification, as long as people in the world know the number, they can know, and the sales of the album in each region also largely indicate the singer's local popularity.
These things are still the relevant information that the Sunken Band deliberately found when they saw that they were about to reach 10 million.
Of course, sometimes, when the album sales reach 10 million, it does not meet this percentage, so the criteria for advancing to the world class is the percentage given on the basis of annual sales, that is, when your album does not meet the percentage when it reaches 10 million sales, you can wait until the end of the year to count the total sales of the album in a year, and then calculate the percentage, as long as it meets the final standard.
For example, a singer in the United Kingdom has a total annual album sales of 18 million, and the total sales of albums in the Americas and Asia except Europe have reached 7 million, accounting for more than 30% of the total global sales, so this singer is a qualified world-class singer who meets the promotion criteria.
Of course, there are also a very small number of demonic geniuses who sell a total of 230 million albums a year, but the percentage just doesn't meet the label, which can't blame them for not being popular in other regions, only that they are so popular in their own region that album sales in this region account for too much of the percentage.
In such cases, the rules give the simplest criterion, which is five million, and when your album reaches five million sales in other continental countries, as long as your album sales reach 10 million, then you can be promoted to the world-class, regardless of the percentage. Of course, under normal circumstances, the singers who need to use this rule are extraordinary evil characters, and their total album sales are rarely less than 20 million. And after them, unless they voluntarily quit the music scene, everyone else has basically been promoted to world superstars.
Therefore, this last rule is nicknamed the "superstar rule".
In fact, from beginning to end, these rules and standards are to make the promotion of singers more transparent and more regular, so that fans around the world can know whether the singer is qualified to advance, which not only makes every singer who is promoted respected and envied, but also inspires every singer with dreams to keep moving forward and working hard.
After reading the specific rules about advancing to the world-class, Huang Tian and the others really had a feeling of sudden realization, and everyone who was originally a little vague about the promotion to the world-class was finally completely clear at this time.
Closing the information, Huang Tian pinched the corners of his eyes, then picked up a cup of tea, and slowly tasted it as the people on TV.
When Huang Tian pretended to finish tasting the cup of Longjing, Lin Yu walked in with the information.
"You little bastards have an easy time!" Lin Yu looked at Huang Tian's enjoyment, smiled and scolded angrily, while doing the opposite side of Huang Tian, he also gave himself a cup of Longjing, and began to sip it in small sips.
"Sister Lin, you can see clearly, I am in the office researching the information for advancing to the world-class, and it is Zhang Hao's bastards who really don't care about anything and go out to play, don't you wronged me." Huang Tian said with a smile as he flipped through the information Lin Yu brought.
"You sit in the office drinking Longjing and reading a few pages of information to work, then we poor people who come in the wind and rain outside all day long, and run around must not be tired to death outside!" Lin Yu glanced at Huang Tian and scolded with a smile.
"Hehe, yes, Sister Lin has worked hard, I'll pour you tea!" Huang Tian replied with a smile, in fact, Lin Yu had already bought a private car now, and there were so many people under her command, except for particularly important things, she didn't need to run around at all, the reason why she said this was just to joke with each other and just make a joke.
As the career of the Sunken-Fall Band became more and more successful, Lin Yu also became a lot more cheerful, and with people like Huang Tian who had a good relationship, he was also a lot more casual, it was really like a family.
"Sister Lin, why are there so many invitations, you just pushed it directly, why did you bring it over." Huang Tian opened the folder brought by Lin Yu, and there was a stack of invitations inside, which made Huang Tian very puzzled.
In the past, they said that the issue of invitations, as long as it is not a necessary occasion, they will directly push it away, and now the reason why they are still staying in China and not going to the United States is because of one invitation letter after another, including two commercial performances, the other party fired the price of five million a piece, and the location is in Kyoto, so the Sunken-Fall Band participated.
In addition to the two commercial performances, the band was also invited to participate in an Asian Youth Music Festival held in Uptown, a beer rock festival held in Qingcheng, and a college student music festival.
In addition, there were many other messy invitations, and they all refused, and this time the invitation brought by Lin Yu, Huang Tian took a general look, it was not a music festival, nor an award ceremony, nor a commercial performance from time to time, but some private invitations. Originally, these should have been rejected directly, but he didn't understand why Lin Yu brought these here.
