Chapter 273: Suppressed Again
On the first day of the third week of April, many Hong Kong people who got up early habitually picked up their subscriptions to the newspaper and wanted to read the novels serialized in the newspapers.
When everyone turned to the entertainment section and saw the headline of the news, they all exclaimed, "How is it possible?!" ”
When the family heard this exclamation, they all came over curiously to look at the big headline of the newspaper, and then exclaimed in the same exclamation, "How is it possible?" ”
These two exclamations rang out in countless homes in Hong Kong.
The title of the major entertainment sections that made everyone exclaim was - "The sales of "Catchy" have increased instead of falling, and the battle between the old and the new is far from over! ”
"In the latest release of the Hong Kong Album List for the second week of April, I thought it would be uneventful, but I didn't expect two shocking changes.
The first change comes from the fact that the talented Lang Lang has been releasing the album "Catchy" for six weeks, and in the sixth week of the record's release, "Catchy" has experienced a reverse sales growth for the first time.
successfully pressed Ah Sam's "Unforgettable You, Paper Boat" under him again, and won the third place in this week's Hong Kong album chart.
Although "Catchy" still lags behind "Unforgettable You, Paper Boat" in terms of total record sales, the sales gap between the two records has narrowed from 519 to 455 copies.
The battle between the old and the new, which was thought to be the winner, has once again taken an unexpected turn, and the competition between the two has become white-hot, bordering on a tragic white-knives battle.
The second change is that the champion and runner-up of the list have changed, and the champion and runner-up have swapped places.
The latest issue of the Hong Kong album chart is as follows: the first place comes from the melancholy prince Chen Baiqiang, who has been released for three weeks "Breakthrough Selection", which sold 61,652 copies this week, and the cumulative sales of records were 278037.
Alan Tam's latest album released last week landed on the championship throne, "Breakthrough Selection" unfortunately fell to the runner-up, and the gap between the two records was very small, and a week later, "Breakthrough Selection" came to the championship again with excellent sales.
The second place came from Alan Tam's "Lover, Goddess" in the second week of release, which sold 60,842 copies this week, and the cumulative sales of 154429 albums.
Alan Tam's two albums released since "Unforgettable You" did not have much to look at, and the overall quality of the records did not improve much, and this week he fell from the championship to the runner-up position.
The third place comes from the talented Lang Lang, who released "Catchy" for six weeks, with sales of 20,125 copies this week, an increase of 250 copies year-on-year, and a cumulative sales of 335642 records.
This week's "Catchy" was a surprise for everyone, with 250 records in reverse growth, Lang Lang once again surpassed Sam's sales this week and won the third place.
The fourth place came from Sam's "Unforgettable You, Paper Boat", which was also released for six weeks, with 20,061 copies sold this week and 336097 albums sold cumulatively.
Because of the reverse growth of "Catchy", "Unforgettable You, Paper Boat" fell to the top position, and the gap between the two records also narrowed to 455 copies, and the competition between the two is far from over.
The next records in the fifth to tenth positions on the list have not changed at all from last week.
The fifth-ranked record is still from the diva Xu Xiaofeng's "New Songs and Selections......"
Chen Lang also trotted home after exercising in the morning, and directly picked up the newspaper on the table and flipped through it.
After reading the newspaper, Chen Lang swung his fist vigorously and laughed, "It's amazing." ”
Chen's father, Chen's mother, and sister Chen Yun on the side were also happy for Chen Lang.
Chen's mother said proudly while serving the meal, "I just said that the victory is not scored, how could my son lose so easily." ”
Father Chen also nodded with emotion, "My son is about to defeat my idol, it feels incredible to think about it." ”
Chen Lang and Chen Yun looked at Father Chen in surprise when they heard this, but Father Chen was very calm, "Why, can't Dad have idols?" ”
Chen Lang and Chen Yun looked at each other, they really didn't know that Ah Sam was their father's idol before, but it was no longer strange to think that Ah Sam's father should still be a young man when he became famous.
"Not only am I Sam's idol, but your mother is too, but I haven't told you all the time." Father Chen looked at Mother Chen again and laughed.
"A lot of people at our age are Ah Sam fans, but now my son is the first in my heart." Mother Chen looked at Chen Lang with pride on her face.
Chen Lang sighed in his heart, Ah Sam really deserves to be a long-famous emperor superstar, and many people of his parents' age are probably his fans.
"Alright, let's sit down and have breakfast!"
Chen Lang had breakfast when he heard this, and at the same time read the reports of other newspapers.
The point is that the sales of Chen Lang's "Catchy" record have increased inversely, once again surpassing Ah Sam's "Unforgettable You, Paper Boat", many people expressed surprise at the same time, and they are more looking forward to this battle between the old and the new.
Another point is that many people compare the melancholy prince Chen Baiqiang and Alan Tam, everyone thinks that they are both representatives of the new generation, although Chen Baiqiang is not as rebellious as Chen Lang's performance, but he is also amazing, and he definitely has the strength to become the future emperor superstar of the Hong Kong music scene.
On the contrary, Alan Tam is also a representative of the new generation of singers in Hong Kong, and his performance after "Unforgettable You" can only be said to be unsatisfactory, too many movie performances have consumed too much of his energy, if Alan Tam really wants to return to the glory of the Wenner band, he must focus more on music.
After reading these reports, Chen Lang was also uneasy.
At this stage, Alan Tam's performance is not as good as that of the melancholy prince Chen Baiqiang, and the "belated spring" does not know when it will come, but when Alan Tam pours all his energy into his music career, the energy that erupts is really amazing.
At the same time, Chen Lang also noticed that the ten singers on this week's Hong Kong album list are all the same as last week, and there are no new singers at all.
Two weeks ago, there was a rookie singer named Xu Mingyuan who was able to make the list, but he only occupied the tenth place, and he was a new record, only a short tenth, and then disappeared.
The current Hong Kong music scene and record market are monopolized by more than a dozen top singers, and it is not easy to get ahead, not only need their own talents, but also need to rely on a strong company.
