Chapter 7 Someone can't sit still

If you think that's all there is to it?

Then you are very wrong, the real horror is yet to come.

In the early morning of the 4th, Cube revealed all the sound sources of "WelcomeBack".

The title song "Empty" is directly on Melon, Bugs, Daum, Naver...... AND OTHER AUDIO SOURCE WEBSITES ARE AIRBORNE TO BREAK THE TABLE AND COMPLETE ALL-KILL.

The title song of Sistar's new album "Alone", which has dominated the first place on the music source network for one month, has been ousted from the first place.

Subsequently, several other songs "Different", "WaitForMe", "Loser" and "Whatmakesyoubeautiful" entered the TOP10 one after another.

almost slaughtered the charts directly, EXO's title song "MAMA" was originally ranked third, but was squeezed directly to fifth place.

At the same time, Cube also released 3 MVs on Youtube, among which the MV of "Whatmakesyoubeautiful", which once caused a wave of boy group trends in Europe and the United States, exceeded 10 million views in just 10 hours.

In the latest issue of Billboard's weekly magazine, BTOB was ranked No. 1 among the most anticipated K-pop boy groups of the year!

This series of honors, passed back, once again stimulated the sales of the album.

The second batch of 3W albums printed in a hurry the next day was out of stock again, and the album sales in the first two days reached 5W5000 copies.

On the third day, there was a drop in the real time sales of only more than 1W, but this is enough to be proud of.

6W tickets were sold in the first three days, and it took half a month for the new boy group of the same period, the new boy group EXO of the S&M family, to do this.

BTOB only took 3 days! BTOB and Melody once again completely suppressed EXO and Planetary Rice.

These few days are estimated to be the most difficult period of planetary rice, and I can only be a man with my tail between my legs on the Internet, and I can only try to discredit BTOB from some angles that I don't have.

"Some people buy this kind of album too? There are 6 songs in total, only 2 songs are new, and the other 4 songs are all old songs to make up the numbers."

"Hehe, the scale of the MV is so big, this kind of person dares to be called a high-quality idol? It's just teaching bad children."

"Zheng Xiuxun's taste is strong enough, and he is actually interested in an old woman like Liu Renna, so our EXO will not have such a problem"

“…………”

However, these skeptical voices do not need Melody to come out and fight back, and when professional music critics issue their own music reviews, these voices all disappear.

Kim Won-sik is a veteran music critic for South Korea's most authoritative music publication, Popular Music Sound, and has his own music criticism section in the newspaper, and is known for his impartiality.

On the fourth day of the album's release, he published a critical release, causing a huge sensation.

"This is a belated report, on the first day, Cube sent "WelcomeBack" to me, 6 songs, some of which I have heard before, and songs that bring me freshness, and I have a lot to say in my heart, so I want to briefly review the songs in it"

"First of all, the title song "Empty", which has recently been hailed as a new generation of sound source divine comedy, to be honest, this is a song with a strong BTOB style"

"Of course, what impressed me the most was the electronic rap of Fang Rongguo xi at the beginning, his bass rap is very easy to grab people's ears, plus this electronic sound, it is simply perfect, and the treble part of Lu Xingcai xi and Nam Youhyun xi in the middle is also great"

"The second is "Differeent", I listened to the whole album more than ten times, and the more I listened to this song, the more I liked it, and I even thought that this song was a hidden title song at one point."

"The composition of the whole song is very perfect, and in the chorus part, the voices of Lee Chan-hee and Lee Hong-bin are really good"

"As for the song "Whatmakesyoubeautiful", I don't think I need to say more, the TOP100 on the billboard chart is enough to say anything"

"'Loser,' 'WaitForMe' and 'Rock the World' are all great tracks"

"It's no exaggeration to say that this is an album that can be used as the title song of any song, and it is a rare high-quality album in recent years, and none of the songs are used to make up the numbers."

"I have to mention here that the core figure of BTOB, and even the soul of the team, Jung so-hoonxi"

"As a creator, you can't have higher requirements for him, he can play with a variety of genres"

"Maybe among the 6 songs, Jung so-hoon xi is not so conspicuous, but what he does is really the most important, as the person who produced the whole album, he distributed the composition of all the songs very well, creating the bright eyes of the members"

"One person leads five people to excel together, this is roughly the so-called 'group soul', right?"

"Finally, I want to emphasize that please believe in my objectivity as a professional music critic, it is not that I receive any benefits to say so many good things, but that BTOB's excellence touches me, so perfect that I can't find any flaws"

"WelcomeBack is definitely the album you can't miss in 2012"

If it weren't for the fact that Kim Won-sik has always been known for his objective music reviews, others would really wonder if he had received benefits.

His music critics have drawn more attention to this album, and even if they don't buy it, they will listen to these songs to see if they are really as good as he says.

As a result, the 6 songs included in "WelcomeBack" are all in the top 10 of the major music charts.

Complete the 'slaughter' in another sense.

Horror album sales and excellent sound source results helped BTOB set a new record.

Breaking the record of the group's first 'No. 1' in 15 days held by FNC's boy band CNblue.

On the fourth day of BTOB's debut, that is, on May 7, SBS TV's "Popular Songs" won the group's first song, becoming the boy group with the shortest time to get "one" in the history of the music industry, and this record is estimated to be difficult to be broken.

This qiē result is fantastic, isn't it? At least until these happen, no one would have felt that such a thing could happen.

Night covered the sky, and smoke billowed from the scarlet cigarette butts in the office.

Kim Young-min, the president of S&M, sat at his desk, and on the sofa where the guests were greeted, someone from the company's planning department sat down.

"It seems that I underestimated the boy group BTOB too much"

"The general trend of variety shows, the spontaneous publicity activities of fans, and a wave of hype have directly created the current situation, should I say that Hong Shengcheng planned well, or their luck was good?"

"There is planning in it, and there is also an element of luck," said the planning minister, "These momentary achievements do not mean anything, if the next wave of publicity of Cube cannot keep up, BTOB will definitely lack stamina and will not fall off the altar"

"But at least it will definitely not be as general as it is now, and the company's new boy group EXO is still suffering from popularity"

"After all, the other party is a team that has accumulated for 3 years, and it is not the company that can help make up for the lack of time"

"Hehe, I'm not worried about this" Kim Young-min said with a smile, "Appearance is BTOB's hard injury, although it has reached the level of debut, but it can't be compared with EXO, in this era, the circle still has to look at the appearance"

"And the positioning of the role of the members, our company is also quite mature, don't judge heroes by temporary success or failure, you don't have to worry about me blaming you"

The people in the planning department looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief, and in recent times, they have been under a lot of pressure, and EXO is the first boy group that Kim Young-min has personally planned by the president.

He has considerable expectations for EXO, but now he is suppressed by BTOB everywhere, leading zhì S&M's shares. Ticket market. Prices have dropped a lot.

S&M has been in contact with Cube lately, but it is still a competitor, without destroying the partnership.

He doesn't mind the planning department coming up with one or two plans to suppress BTOB, and always let the public know who is the leading enterprise in this circle, and by the way, boost the morale of shareholders.

"Do you have any good ideas?"

After hesitating for a moment, the head of the planning department respectfully said, "Advance the plan for the merger of Team K and Team M on the 20th, and let TTS participate in the song in advance."

"Although it's only a small team, with the popularity of Kim Taeyeon Xi and other 3 people, it's easy to suppress this kind of freshman boy group"

"Hmm......" Kim Young-min was expressionless.

The people in the planning department suddenly felt nervous, and there was no way to do it.

We all know that although Girls' Generation is the company's golden signboard, Kim Young-min has always had a problem with this group, although Girls' Generation debuted after he became the president of the company, but the plan was formulated by Lee so-man.

For Kim Young-min, who wants to completely brand the company on his own, girlhood has always been a hurdle that he can't get around.

"That's it, you can go"

After everyone left, Kim Youngmin's face suddenly became hideous, and it took a moment to relax.

"Whew...... Sooner or later, I'm going to get rid of all the things you left behind in this company."

"Artists, it's always just a commodity, there will always be an expiration date, but it's not right now, you still have to wait a little longer......" (To be continued.) )
