818 [2 million sales]

SHE's popularity is a miracle, and it can be described as the fastest-rising singer group in the Taiwanese music scene in the past decade.

Like Su Rui before, she became popular with a song "If the Wine Sells Nothing", and the sales of the album soon exceeded 1 million, which was because of the factors of hot movie sales, and Su Rui had debuted for 10 years before becoming popular.

Let's talk about the disbanded Little Tigers, they also worked as an assistant host on the TV station for half a year before releasing the record, and they embarked on the road of idol singers because of the popularity of hosting the show.

But SHE's popularity was without warning or rehearsal, and newspapers, magazines, and TV stations were competing to report it overnight, and their records appeared in major video stores as if they were falling from the sky.

Among the three girls, Xu Ruoxuan has participated in the TV talent show, and Yang Caini has been a child star in Hong Kong films before, but few people in Taiwan recognize them. The only one who is a little more famous is Xie Jinyan, who has appeared on TV and played supporting roles in movies, but that is all.

The most annoying thing about other singers is that the average age of the three girls in the SHE group is less than 17 years old, and it is easy to become famous at a young age.

During the New Year's Day holiday, the sales of "Superstar" exploded every day, and the cumulative sales of records reached 400,000 copies in half a month. In other words, during the three-day New Year's Day holiday alone, "Superstar" sold 140,000 copies, with an average of more than 40,000 copies sold in a single day every day.

After New Year's Day, Superstar's sales growth slowed, but it still sold thousands of copies a day. By the time the Lunar New Year arrived, the cumulative sales of SHE's debut album in Taiwan had exceeded 500,000 copies, which attracted the attention of the entire Taiwanese music scene.

In 1991, Taiwan's record sales champion was Liu Dehua's "Me and the Dream I Chase", although this record sold more than 1 million copies, but that was plus the total sales of Southeast Asia, Hong Kong, and South Korea. The sales of 500,000 copies of "Superstar" are only the sales in Taiwan in three months, which can be said to have tied with Liu Dehua's records.

SHE's rapid popularity is due to three reasons, excellent record quality, wonderful image packaging and perfect promotion and distribution channels.

These three popular elements, as long as one of them can be achieved, it is enough to make a singer or group popular, and SHE accounts for all three points. Especially the Little Tigers have just been disbanded, and the young people who chase stars have lost their idols all of a sudden, and SHE's debut just fills this shortcoming, which can be regarded as a replacement for the Little Tigers from a certain point of view.

UFO Records arranged SHE's debut at the Tigers' farewell concert, and it was this idea that made SHE inherit the Tigers' fans very successfully.

In order to let the majority of Little Tigers fans know and like SHE, UFO Records authorized Macau to broadcast the entire farewell concert. The clip of the Little Tigers introducing SHE to appear and sing two songs was also broadcast on three wireless television stations and a number of cable television stations in Taiwan. Its promotion efforts are so great that it even surpasses that of a leading UFO singer like Wang Jie, which shows that UFO Records has high expectations for SHE.

With the help of the distribution network of Popular Records in Southeast Asia, "Superstar" was quickly rolled out in Nanyang countries during the Spring Festival, like a bombshell exploding in the music scene of Southeast Asian countries.

……

Streets of Singapore.

Several girls rushed into the video store in groups and asked anxiously, "Boss, do you have any SHE records for sale here?" ”

The boss pulled a cassette tape out of the shelf and asked, "You're talking about this Superstar?" ”

"Yes, yes, this is it." The girls were pleasantly surprised.

"I'll buy a box."

"I'll buy a box too."

"Are there any records or tapes? I've heard that every song has a music video. ”

“……”

A couple of girls chattered over a cassette tape, and two bought a record or videotape, and then hurried out of the video store to go home.

They were originally fans of the Little Tigers, and they watched the farewell concert of the Little Tigers broadcast by Macau Satellite TV's Yinyue Channel, and they were very impressed by the SHE who appeared at the concert.

After many inquiries, several girls knew that SHE's record would be released in Taiwan before Christmas, but they waited for more than two months for the news of "Superstar" coming to Singapore.

Hurried back to the home of one of the girls, they eagerly turned on the television and home video recorder and stuffed the record tape into the machine.

The first song on the record is not the title song of the same name, "Superstar", but "Persian Cat", which several girls have never heard.

On the TV screen, the three girls of SHE are magical, the stage shots and the plot pictures are interspersed back and forth, and the Persian cat is jumping around all the time, and the girls can only rely on their brains to restore the entire storyline.

"Wow, this song is awesome, it's the first time I've heard it."

"The members of SHE are so beautiful and cool, and I like Selina the most."

"Listen to the next song, I really want to watch the music video for Superstar."

“……”

It didn't go as the girl wanted, and the second song on the tape was not "Superstar", but the fresh "Mom and Dad".

The MV of "Mom and Dad" was shot more realistically, this time with Xu Ruoxuan as the protagonist. She fell in love with a boy in early love, but was opposed by her parents, and finally the two eloped together.

Young boys and girls will fall in love more or less, even if they don't fall in love, there must be people who they like silently in their hearts.

The lyrics and MV of "Mom and Dad" quickly touched several girls, and they felt that the lyrics simply sang their hearts, and they couldn't help but listen to it again after listening to it once.

And when they listened to the 12 songs of the whole album, they couldn't help but praise excitedly:

"I always thought that only 'Superstar' and 'I Don't Want to Grow Up' were good."

"yes, every song on this record is great."

""I'm not Huang Rong" is also so interesting."

“……”

1 million, 1.2 million, 1.5 million, 1.8 million, 2 million...... total sales of Superstar in Asia have skyrocketed, and SHE's fame has spread like a cancer in the South Seas.

Even on the streets of the Philippines, young people can be heard singing "I am not Huang Rong, I don't know martial arts", and boys shouting to girls "You are electricity, you are light, you are the only myth".

Two years ago, the Tigers' second album, Getaway, sold 2 million copies across Asia in 10 days, and now SHE's debut album took three months to match that number.

Many boys and girls not only buy the tapes of "Superstar", but also pay for the tape version, because the album tape has a wonderful music video for each song.

Someone has calculated that in the MV of the 12 songs included in "Superstar", the three girls of SHE changed a total of 32 sets of clothes and 15 hairstyles. From rebellious and avant-garde to sweet and cute, various styles of styling are varied, and their outfits in the MV have also become the object of imitation by girls from all over the world.

Taiwan's "United Daily News" said: "SHE is another phenomenal singing group after the Little Tigers. ”

Youth Daily, a public newspaper in Taiwan, praised the company: "SHE and the Little Tigers represent the new generation of young people in Taiwan, and are the embodiment of the thriving cultural undertakings in Taiwan under the leadership of KMT." ”

Media reporters are all guys with a keen sense of smell, and as SHE becomes more and more popular, the media naturally wants to dig into their background.

Soon, Yang Caini's identity as the goddaughter of Kang Jianfei and Lin Qingxia was exposed, and Xie Jinyan's identity as the biological daughter of the famous host Zhu Geliang was also exposed.

Well, this is a big deal.

Just Lin Qingxia and Kang Jianfei's goddaughter, this news is exciting enough, making Yang Caini the focus of countless media. In Singapore and Malaysia, where Brother Zhu has countless fans, Xie Jinyan's popularity has also risen sharply, and many fans of Brother Zhu in their forties and fifties have also deliberately bought a copy of "Superstar" to support the idol's daughter.

Behind the popularity of SHE, Kang Jianfei, the main creator of the album's songs, quickly surfaced, and the entire record included 12 songs, and half of the songwriters were him, so it was difficult not to attract attention, not to mention that he was also Yang Caini's godfather.

When many media in Taiwan were competing to report on SHE, "China Times" aimed the report at Kang Jianfei:

"Hong Kong's richest man, Mr. Kang Jianfei, has always been a highly controversial figure, especially in Taiwan, where his political stance close to the mainland has been criticized by many Green Party people.

But the irony is that the most popular singing group in Taiwan recently, SHE, was created by Mr. Kang himself, which can be seen from the songwriter column of the record "Superstar".

Regardless of Kang Jianfei's character and position, his talent is undoubted, and the seven songs he wrote for SHE are extremely wonderful, and the continuous impact on the Taiwanese pop music scene is second only to Luo Dayou's original record "Comrade Lover" ......"

The China Times is not exaggerating, and Superstar has indeed had a huge impact on the Taiwanese pop music scene.

Although the Little Tigers' records are selling well, the songs in them are basically covers of Japanese songs, and the music style has always been positive, simple and beautiful youth songs. But SHE is different from this record, the seven songs written by Kang Jianfei himself are varied and mature, especially the arrangements of "Superstar", "Persian Cat" and "Mom and Dad", which have opened the eyes of many musicians in Taiwan.

Of course, most people attribute the credit for the arrangement to Li Shouquan and Chen Zhiyuan, and don't believe how much effort Kang Jianfei put into it.

All of a sudden, all the pop musicians in Taiwan are studying the record "Superstar", and maybe the Taiwanese pop music scene will be much more exciting in the new year. R1152
