And the amazing performance of this record did not stop there, in the second week of the record's release, "Foggy Love" once again achieved an astonishing sales of 70,215 copies, firmly ranking first on the Hong Kong album chart, achieving two consecutive titles on the list.
What's more, coupled with the sales of the first week, the total sales of "Love in the Fog" have exceeded 200,000 copies and has been certified as four platinums, and this is only the second week of this record, although the decline is huge, but this is the consistent trend of Hong Kong record sales, but even so, this record will definitely be able to get five platinum sales, and six platinum sales are also very likely to be achieved.
So far, Alan Tam's highest sales after his solo flight is the five platinums of the previous album "Late Spring", and the highest sales obtained by Wenner when the band did not disband is six platinums, and the record "Fog Love" is likely to surpass Alan Tam's best results after his solo flight, and even exceed the highest sales of all records released.
At the same time, in RTHK's Chinese song list and commercial radio's song ring array on-demand statistics, the title song "Fog Love" of "Fog Love" won the first place and successfully reached the top, and three other songs were also shortlisted in the top ten of the on-demand gang.
After the sales and on-demand rate of "Fog Love" in the second week came out, the whole of Hong Kong was boiling.
Alan Tam attracted everyone's attention because of his last record "Belated Spring", and the latest record actually received such amazing sales and praise from everyone beyond everyone's expectations, even Alan Tam and Polygram Records.
The most important thing is that Alan Tam's interpretation of the song in this record is very unique, but it has a unique charm, that is, what everyone often calls Lun-style love songs in later generations.
The unique and affectionate singing method coupled with the classic love songs can easily move people's hearts, many people are deeply touched after listening to this record, Chen Lang also specially bought the first part of this love trilogy before recording his own record.
Alan Tam's singing, obviously different from previous records, this record Aaron abandoned the previous fast song style, and turned to sing love songs, coupled with the vicissitudes of life but affectionate interpretation, so that the listener can easily integrate into the singer's world, and can clearly understand the singer's thoughts and emotions.
Alan Tam really found the type of song and singing method that suits him from this record, and the song itself is excellent in terms of lyrics and composition and soundtrack production, so this classic record has been created.
This record also really pushed Alan Tam into the ranks of top singers and laid a solid foundation for becoming a superstar in the music industry, this record is of great significance to Alan Tam.
The sales and quality have been a great success, and the praise of countless fans and music critics has made Alan Tam's momentum rise instantly, although he has not yet been regarded as a superstar in the music world, but some people have already ranked him with Chen Baiqiang as a new twin star, as for Chen Lang has become a superstar in the music world, he is already the first person of the new generation, and he is naturally excluded.
Of course, there are also many media who list Chen Lang, Chen Baiqiang and Alan Tam as the three best singers of the new generation, Chen Shufen told Chen Lang that these are the people invited by Polygram, after all, as the most powerful record company in Hong Kong, the strength and influence cannot be underestimated.
And juxtaposing Chen Lang and the three can instantly separate Alan Tam from the other new-generation singers, raise it to a level with Chen Lang, and then pull in a Chen Baiqiang, so that the hype will not be too obvious.
Although everyone knows that Chen Lang is already a well-deserved first person of the new generation after winning the most popular male singer, even Chen Baiqiang, who is known as one of the twin stars, is far from it, Alan Tam has only performed eye-catching in the last two albums, and naturally cannot be compared with Chen Lang.
However, although Alan Tam is not as good as Chen Lang, but now with the hot performance and strong momentum of "Fog Love", everyone has the impression that Alan Tam is not as good as Chen Lang, but it is almost the same, which is enough, as long as Alan Tam's next two records can still maintain this level, then everyone will put Chen Lang and Alan Tam side by side, and the two will be equal at that time.
Polygram is a good calculation, with the help of this way to raise Alan Tam's status and influence in the music industry as soon as possible, although many people look disapprehensive after seeing the newspaper report, obviously Chen Lang is too impressed by the first person and genius of the new generation in everyone's minds, and everyone thinks it is appropriate to put Alan Tam and Chen Baiqiang side by side with it.
However, in the third week of the release of "Foggy Love", the record still sold 35,846 copies, achieving three consecutive tops on the Hong Kong album chart, and the total sales of the record in the three weeks also exceeded 240,000 copies.
At the same time, the first season of the top ten golden songs was announced, and the four songs in "Fog Love", "Fog Love", "Proud Bone", "Phantom" and "Love's Stand-in" were selected at the same time, which made the storm set off by Lun-style love songs in Hong Kong more violent, and everyone's ridicule and dissatisfaction with Alan Tam and Chen Lang were alleviated a lot.
At this time, Chen Lang had already started the recording of his latest record, but in his spare time, he also bought this record "Fog Love", which is of great significance to Alan Tam and has been concerned about for a long time.
After listening to the whole record, Chen Lang had to sigh that although the Hong Kong music scene has entered the era of factory packaging stars, many singers before this have extremely solid singing skills, and the singing voice of Lun-style love songs is indeed very unique and charming to Chen Lang, no wonder Alan Tam will embark on his own road to the emperor with this record.
"Aaron, congratulations, "Love in the Fog" is definitely the most suitable record for you to release so far, and you have finally found your own singing style." Chen Lang specially called Alan Tam.
"Hahaha...... I feel like this is my best record so far, and as you said, I've found my own way to music, and thanks to you, I've been able to find my true musical meaning right now. Alan Tam said gratefully.
"It's still your own hard work and talent, but then you're my real competitor, and I'm recording my latest record right now, and we're going to see who sells more." Chen Lang said with a smile.
Alan Tam was stunned when he heard this, and then he was not to be outdone, "It's better than that, I don't believe that I can't win against you kid once." ”
"Then we'll see." Chen Lang heard the emptiness in Alan Tam's tone, and hung up the phone with a smile.
