Chapter 363 Records

Soon, the time came to August 7, and "Moonlight and Stars" has been officially released for a week.

Countless people, including record companies such as Huaxing, Polygram, and Warner, major media in Hong Kong, all singers and musicians, and countless fans of Chen Lang and Chen Baiqiang are anxiously waiting for the first week of sales of "Moonlight Star".

In fact, as early as the "Oriental Daily" reported that "Moonlight Star" achieved a record 40,035 first-day sales, everyone knew that the first-week sales would be a surprising number, but I don't know the exact number, and I still can't rest assured.

Of course, the fans of Huaxing and Chen Lang are full of expectations, and others may be malicious conjectures.

After working overtime at night, Hong Kong's nine major demolition banks and major music stores finally calculated the sales of "Moonlight Starry" in the first week.

The people involved in the accounting are actually curious about how amazing this figure will be, although they have been prepared for a long time, but when the statistics came out, they still frightened many people.

"This Lang Lang is really going against the sky."

The person with the statistics in his hand said a word, and everyone on the spot nodded in response.

Then the staff reported this figure to countless media that had been waiting for a long time, and the major media also collectively lost their voices after getting the data.

The next day, countless singers and fans picked up the newspaper and flipped to the entertainment page for the first time, looking for reports on the sales of "Moonlight Starry" in the first week.

The report is very conspicuous, because it is the front page headline.

It's just that countless people gasped after taking a look.

I saw only one number on the newspaper headline.

“171530!!!”

In the first week, sales directly exceeded the three platinums, and they were only less than 30,000 copies short of the four platinums, which is really a bit scary.

You must know that Ah Sam, who also staged a heart-wrenching showdown between the old and the new with Chen Lang last year, released the album in February for more than three months, and the final sales were only 215,480 copies of four platinums.

Now, Chen Lang is approaching this number in just one week, and in comparison, the gap between the two record sales trends is too big.

"Lang Lang's latest album "Moonlight Stars" has achieved 171,530 copies in just one week of release, surpassing the triple platinum, which is definitely beyond everyone's imagination.

However, it is a pity that although this record broke the first-day sales record of Chen Lang's second record "Catchy", it regretted that it was not able to break the first-week sales record set by "Catchy", ranking second in the two record lists 172498 of Hong Kong record weekly sales and first-week sales with a gap of 968 copies.

However, the amazing results of "Catchy" were created in the fierce competition with Xu Guanjie, and there was a rare situation in which each other's sales were stimulated by each other, and now Lang Lang does not have an opponent who can threaten him, so there will be no more situations that stimulate sales growth.

However, some time ago, various reports about Chen Baiqiang surpassing Lang Lang to become the first singer of the new generation obviously stimulated Lang Lang's fans and made them burst out with strong combat effectiveness.

There is also good news, Lang Lang's "Moonlight Stars" sold more than 20,000 copies every day in the first seven days of the week, even on the seventh day, it still sold more than 22,000 copies.

With the record's strong reputation and influence among students, teachers, and all those who have had fond memories of school, "Moonlight and Starry Stars" still has a good chance of surpassing the sales record of "Catchy" and even "Unforgettable You, Paper Boat".

It is worth mentioning that "Unforgettable You, Paper Boat", which successfully set a new record sales record last year, has sold 389856 copies so far, and the cumulative sales of "Catchy", which was suppressed in second place on the chart, has also reached 389812, which is only 44 copies away from surpassing "Unforgettable You, Paper Boat".

In other words, while Chen Lang's latest record is likely to achieve amazing sales, his second album "Catchy" is likely to surpass "Unforgettable You, Paper Boat" to win the top spot in Hong Kong's record sales charts.

Although Lang Lang's amazing talent has long been a recognized fact, it is still amazing that he has achieved such an achievement at this age.

In contrast, the older generation of singers has been very lonely this year, and perhaps, the Hong Kong music scene will really usher in its own new era in four months. ”――

Lang Lang's sales in the first week exceeded three platinums, approaching four platinums, and directly landed on the Hong Kong album chart, and at this time, Chen Baiqiang's "I Just Like You" magically rose two places from last week's fourth place more than a month after its release, and came to the runner-up position again.

It seems that Chen Lang's release of the latest record is also a big stimulus for Danny Zai's fans, so he once again entered the music line to support his idol, and at present, Danny's "I Like You" has exceeded five platinum and is moving towards six platinum.

However, "Moonlight Starlight", which has won 170,000 sales, greatly surpasses "I Like You" in terms of sales, reputation and influence.

What makes this newspaper more confident in Lang Lang is that Chen Lang's influence among young people is still unparalleled, and on this basis, Chen Lang has successfully opened the adult market through this record.

I believe that the final sales of this record will definitely give everyone a big surprise, and I look forward to Lang Lang breaking the sales record of his record "Lang Lang Catchy". ”――

Oriental Daily News

Most of the other newspapers and media also praised the amazing results of the "Moonlight Star" record, and said that Chen Lang was worthy of the flag-bearer of the new generation of singers, but he seemed to have forgotten the praise of Chen Baiqiang some time ago.

At the same time, I saw the media coverage, and countless singers and record companies were equally shocked.

Chen Lang, a teenager who is only eighteen years old, seems to have become a mountain pressing on everyone's hearts in just two years since his debut in the music industry, which makes people feel depressed.

Previously, Warner was still happy, and his Chen Baiqiang performed well, and it seems that he has the momentum to surpass Chen Lang, after all, the six consecutive championships are indeed unexpected.

It's just that now I see Chen Lang's first-week sales, my heart is suddenly cold, although Chen Baiqiang's "I Like You" has now also won more than five platinum and nearly six platinum sales, and it has only been released for less than two months, but in the face of Chen Lang's fierce momentum, coupled with Chen Lang's amazing performance for everyone, it still makes Warner feel uneasy.

In order to praise Chen Baiqiang for winning the most popular male singer at the upcoming major award ceremonies, especially the Top Ten Golden Melody Awards Ceremony, so as to directly crown him as a superstar in the music industry, Warner decided to snipe Chen Lang in terms of achievements and honors.

Warner decided to let one of the company's singers release a record in September to prevent Chen Lang from winning six consecutive championships, although Chen Lang will definitely be able to win six consecutive championships, but in order to keep Chen Baiqiang's high honor, Warner has also made all preparations.

Releasing a record in September can not only snipe Chen Lang to win consecutive championships, but also avoid Chen Lang's edge, so that the singer's record can also get enough sales.

But now Chen Lang not only has a strong appeal among students because of "Moonlight Star", but also has more and more influence among adults, and many Warners people have said that they are also willing to buy a "Moonlight Starlight", because this record can indeed be called the most beautiful and classic campus record.

Therefore, this singer must also be a singer with both strength and appeal, otherwise he is likely to be directly crushed and unable to play any role, and it seems that only a few of the top singers in the Hong Kong music scene can achieve such an effect.

Coincidentally, Warner just recently ushered in a top singer in the music world, who is Lin Zixiang, who has just passed from Baidai.

Lin Zixiang is a singer with a wide vocal range, and also has a unique and unparalleled interpretation method, he has a powerful "natural strange voice" with a super wide vocal range.

He was born with a very impactful and explosive voice, in other words, his singing voice is particularly "choking", almost impossible to imitate, and his high voice is the highest among all Hong Kong male singers, so he was rated as the strongest voice in the Hong Kong music scene.

In the eighties of his previous life, in this decade, a total of 23 of his songs topped the RTHK Chinese Song Dragon and Tiger Chart, second only to Alan Tam's 28.

At the 17th RTHK Top Ten Chinese Golden Melody Awards Ceremony held in 1994, George Lam was awarded the "Golden Needle Award, the highest honor in Hong Kong music".

In 2003, George Lam won the CA-SH Music Achievement Award, the first singer-songwriter to receive this award.

Lin Zixiang is the husband of another singer in the mid-to-late 80s, Ye Qianwen, and he is also the idol or favorite singer of many people in the entertainment industry, including Xu Xiaofeng, Anita Mui, Andy Lau, Kwan Zhilin, Fang Tian, Fang Lishen and Wu Haokang, etc.

Lin Zixiang also won two golden songs in the top ten Chinese golden songs awards ceremony held in July not long ago, which was the time when the momentum was fierce, but because he had just changed the record company, he had not yet released a record, but at this time Warner already had a plan to let the top singer in the music industry immediately release the record.

At this time, Chen Lang and Huaxing didn't know these things, but were immersed in the huge surprise brought by record sales.

Chen Lang is not only happy because the sales of the record reached 170,000 in the first week, but he is even more happy that he has finally opened the adult market, which has brought a strong new force to his record sales in the future, and also made Chen Lang really see the hope of surpassing the sales of "Catchy".

Another thing that Chen Lang didn't show was that he also coveted the honor of Chen Baiqiang's six consecutive championships on the Hong Kong album list.

So far, Chen Lang has only won four consecutive championships, which was won by the last album "Lang Cai Girl" without meeting other top singers in the early stage of its release in March, which is also a good honor, but before Chen Baiqiang's six consecutive championships, there was no confidence at all.

Although Chen Lang and Chen Baiqiang are good friends, just like Alan Tam and Xu Guanjie, it is inevitable that they will compete with each other.

This year is definitely the best year for Chen Lang to become a superstar in the music world.

With the accumulation of three records, Chen Lang has enough popularity and sales, and he also has a lot of qualifications and has been widely recognized by the music industry.

At the same time, this year is also a year of sluggish performance of the older generation of singers, so as long as Chen Lang becomes the well-deserved first person among the new generation of singers, then when he wins the most popular male singer of the top ten golden songs, it will be the day when Chen Lang is awarded the title of superstar in the Hong Kong music scene.
