Chapter 479: The Powerful Alan Tam

Thank you for the great commuter pass of Oma 123!

----------------------

After the release of "Fog Love" in March, Alan Tam released his second album "The Root of Love" this year again after 8 months.

In March, Alan Tam's album "Foggy Love" set off a huge heat wave in the entire Xiangjiang, and the album sold more than 130,000 copies in the first week, ranking fifth in the first week sales record of Hong Kong records, with only two singers in front of Chen Lang and Chen Baiqiang.

At the same time, the record achieved six consecutive championships on the Hong Kong album chart, equaling the record of Chen Baiqiang's "I Like You" and Chen Lang's "Moonlight Stars", which is currently held by Chen Lang, Chen Baiqiang and Alan Tam.

Interestingly, Chen Lang's "Moonlight Stars" was sniped by Lin Zixiang, who belongs to Warner like Chen Baiqiang, after six consecutive championships, while Alan Tam's "Fog Love" was sniped by Chen Lang's "Lang Smoke" after six consecutive championships.

The competition between the three and the three companies can be described as full of gunpowder, if it weren't for such sniping, maybe the current Hong Kong album list will definitely have more than six consecutive championships.

Although "Foggy Love" failed to create a new record for consecutive championships on the Hong Kong album chart, the final sales also reached 310,000 copies, becoming Alan Tam's highest sales after flying solo.

While achieving amazing sales, the record "Fog Love" also has an amazing reputation.

As far as the record is concerned, everyone unanimously praised this as a pop classic worth cherishing, as far as Alan Tam is concerned, "Foggy Love" for the first time perfectly shows the Len-style singing voice, with a slightly vicissitudes of life in the affectionate feeling, allowing everyone to appreciate Aaron's magnetic voice, and also made countless fans fall in love with this voice, which instantly attracted a huge fan base.

The popularity of "Love in the Fog" was huge, and even before Chen Lang's "Smoke Rolling" set a first-week sales record and made a huge historical contribution to the huge history of rock music in Hong Kong, everyone also truly realized that Alan Tam is a person who may threaten Chen Lang's status.

Therefore, when PolyGram was ready to strike while the iron was hot and launch a new record for Alan Tam again, it was indeed highly anticipated.

Fans want to appreciate the charm of Alan Tam's love songs again, industry insiders and major record companies want to know whether Alan Tam's outburst is a flash in the pan, and major media newspapers want to hype a singer who can compete head-to-head with Chen Lang, so that the stand-alone music scene can become Chen Tan's hegemony, so that it is interesting and can attract more eyeballs.

Including Chen Lang himself, he has been waiting for Alan Tam's love trilogy to lay the foundation for superstardom, and it can be said that as long as people who care about the Hong Kong music scene are looking forward to this kind of record.

The performance of a record generally comes from two aspects, one is sales, and the other is quality, or word of mouth.

In Hong Kong's golden yuan society, sales are often the first, because this proves a singer's ability to make money, which is an important criterion for measuring the value of singers.

Can Alan Tam continue the strength of "Love in the Fog"?

Alan Tam can once again present a classic masterpiece to fans?

Can Alan Tam become a rival to Chan Lang head-on?

After Alan Tam released "The Roots of Love" in November, everyone was eager to know how the record would sell.

Although there were unfavorable rumors that the Golden Disc Awards would be discontinued, the Hong Kong album chart announced by it was still published in major music magazines.

"This week's Hong Kong album chart is highly anticipated, Alan Tam, who set off a frenzy in March, once again brings you his latest record, how did the first week of this record perform? How did Zhenni, the singer who made a comeback last month and released her latest album, perform this week? Let's take a look at the latest edition of the Hong Kong Album Chart.

At the top of this week's Hong Kong album list is Alan Tam's "The Root of Love", which sold 153571 copies in the first week, and was released for a week, with a cumulative total sales of 153571 copies.

Alan Tam's latest album "The Root of Love" directly landed on the top of the list under the great expectations, continuing the strength of the previous record "Foggy Love", and performed even better, and the sales of 153571 albums in the first week also beat Chen Baiqiang's "I Like You" by a slight margin of 3, becoming the fourth place in the first-week sales record list of Hong Kong records, second only to Chen Lang's three records.

The performance of "The Root of Love" is amazing, Alan Tam's sudden outburst is full of surprises, Alan will definitely be the biggest gain in the music industry this year, according to his current strong performance, the threat to Chen Lang, the first person of the new generation in the music industry, is far beyond everyone's imagination.

……

The ninth place on the list comes from Jenny's "Charming May", which sold 3,052 copies this week, released for five weeks, and sold a total of 201985 copies.

Zhenni, the diva who has been away from the music industry for a year, made a stunning comeback, and her first record to the new company broke through the four platinum sales, becoming the best singer among all the older generation singers this year, and at the same time, she is also the best performer among all female singers this year.

……”

After the latest issue of the Hong Kong album list was released, it once again detonated the Hong Kong music scene.

"A new generation of singers is about to be born!"

"150,000 sales in the first week, fourth in history!"

"Alan Tam surpasses Chen Baiqiang!"

"The most amazing singer in the music world this year --- Alan Tam!"

……

For a time, the praise of Alan Tam in major media and newspapers was overwhelming.

Maybe there is a reason for Polygram to hire a gunman, or maybe there is a reason for the media to deliberately hype, but the record sales are real, and the performance of "The Root of Love" is indeed amazing.

The strong performance of "Love in the Mist" has made countless record companies begin to face up to the former lead singer of the Wenner band, a tepid singer after flying solo, but the two records released in just eight months are so amazing that they obviously exceeded everyone's expectations.

I thought that Alan Tam's rise would take a few years of accumulation, because even if he is known as the strongest newcomer, Chen Lang, who is a peerless genius, really became a recognized superstar in the music industry It took three years, with 4 pop classics and countless sales records to achieve his current status and influence in the music world.

But now Alan Tam seems to be on top of the music scene with these two records, because so far, Alan Tam has performed the best in the entire Hong Kong music scene in 1984.

Chen Lang's "Smoke Rolling" set off a rock frenzy and pointed out the direction for rock music in the Hong Kong music scene, and the sales reached 370,000 copies, but it seems that it is no longer so dazzling under Alan Tam's two records of "Foggy Love" and "The Root of Love" and the combination of magnetic Lun-style love songs.

Maybe everyone is accustomed to Chen Lang's performance, and Chen Lang disappeared in front of everyone when he entered the campus, and Alan Tam has maintained a super high exposure rate under Polygram's operation, and the media and newspapers have not missed Alan Tam's name and photo, which makes everyone feel that Alan Tam is suddenly very popular.

At the same time, Chen Baiqiang, another of the top three hyped by the media, released the record "Top 100 84", which is also not bad, with sales reaching six platinum, but the quality of the songs on the record itself is insufficient, which is much worse than Alan Tam.

There is also a Leslie Cheung who has attracted everyone's attention, and the newly released record "Monica" is also eye-catching, and the sales have also reached six platinum, but Leslie Cheung, who has only released one record, is also slightly lacking in momentum.

The four best of the new generation have all released records, but Alan Tam has made a big name with the release of two records.

In the first week of November, when "The Roots of Love" sold well in Hong Kong, the record also received an excellent reputation.

After the amazing performance of "Fog Love", Alan Tam's latest record "The Root of Love" once again brought a surprise to everyone, this is a love song, mainly slow songs, but fast songs also have quite an excellent performance, it can be said that this record is even better than "Fog Love", this is the most classic record of Alan Tam's singer career so far.

In the record, "The Root of Love", "Who Can Change", and "Urban Love Song" are all local originals, and the song "The Root of Love" is definitely one of the best golden songs in Hong Kong in the past 20 years, "Who Can Change" is the theme song of the TV series "Heavenly Master Takes the Throne", and "Urban Love Song" is an episode of the movie "Gentleman is Good", and the two songs themselves have been widely sung with the hit of film and television.

"Love in Late Autumn" is a cover of the famous song of Korean singer Cho Yong-pil, which will surely become one of Alan Tam's best masterpieces, "Summer Cold Wind" and "The Man Who Catches the Wind" are classics in fast songs, and it also clarifies the style of Alun's fast songs.

"Burgundy Heart" is written by Japanese music master Koji Tamaki, with a mid-to-middle rhythm, "I Love Freckles", "Electric Shock Dance" has a light rhythm, the latter has a more dance music style, and "I Owe You" can be said to reflect Aaron's excellent sound quality.

This record can be said to be a classic for every song, even if it is not as good as Chen Lang's record, but its quality will not be much worse, and what is even more rare is the maturity of Alan Tam's singing skills, and the unique Lun-style love singing voice is fascinating.

This is Alan Tam's best record so far, this is an absolute classic record, this is a record that can change the situation in the music industry! ”

The record "The Root of Love" is indeed a classic, even in the 80s, when the best films were produced, it was able to rank among the top five, and the song "The Root of Love" was even the first in the 2000 200 20 Golden Songs Selection.

The sales of the records are amazing, the quality is amazing, and Alan Tam's momentum is even higher, which makes Chen Lang and the major record companies feel a lot of pressure.
