At the beginning of the month, I take the monthly pass as a benefit for my Children's Day, and I celebrate the festival every year~~

really became the ticket king of the novel, how can I be embarrassed!

****************************************

The arrival of Justin Timberlake and Rihanna surprised Yang Lin, especially Rihanna, who didn't seem to have anything to do with her, right? He suppressed the doubts in his heart, and then walked over to the two of them and hugged each other as a meeting. He smiled and was rubbed by Rihanna, and then said, "What a surprise!" ”

The atmosphere at the scene ignited all of a sudden, and European and American stars rarely hold album press conferences, and there is usually no such big publicity. They generally use professional magazines, radio stations, and the Internet as marketing tools. Now Yang Lin has joined the gossip magazine to this camp, and the repercussions can be imagined.

"I was drinking with Yang Lin the day before yesterday, but I didn't expect him to tell me about it." Justin has long regarded Yang Lin as his friend, and he complained a little about him at this time. He has always been the darling of the media, and he is a leader in North America, so he talks more casually: "I came to see his press conference today, hoping that his album can have a good sale." I've been looking forward to working with Yang Lin for a long time, and his songs are so good that they can almost lead the trend. ”

Since I came to the platform to cheer. Then Justin and Rihanna will not be stingy with words of praise, and the two of them praised Yang Lin so much that they both blushed. Rihanna, an emerging diva, has always been the favorite music of nightclubs and bars, and she is not afraid of any scandals, she wrapped her hand around Yang Lin's neck, and then said viciously: "Originally, I invited him to collaborate on songs, but he said that he was too busy and had no time to cooperate!" This reason makes me angry. So I came over to see how busy he was! ”

A few people sang and I urged on stage, and the atmosphere was quite good, and at this time, Yang Lin also announced all the tracks of the album by the way. and pre-sales in North America. "First of all, the 8-day pre-sale of this album has ended, and the pre-sale volume in North America has reached 130,000 copies after the company's professional department audit, and the pre-sale volume in Europe, Australia, South Africa, and Asia has reached 390,000 copies, of which Asia contributed 270,000 copies." Yang Lin said with some pride, although this data is not much, only 520,000 pre-sales, but this has made him happy.

Achieve good results in a completely new field. The pre-sale volume alone has already reached half the platinum sales. One million copies of the American Recording Guild certified platinum record standard. It's not like 100,000 pieces in China that dare to be called platinum.

As early as when he was preparing the English album at the beginning, Yang Lin had already expected that the sales volume might not be good, at least in the early stage, and he should be proud of having sold so many copies all over the world.

However, this achievement is about to be bleak in his Chinese album "Youth Invincible". Although "Youth Invincible" is only sold in Asia, the number of copies has reached more than one million, and the processing factories are still producing day and night, and then packaging and shipping to other regions and even countries.

The volume of distribution is not equal to the volume of sales, but only indicates that the inventory is sufficient. Various merchants have strong confidence in Yang Lin, and no matter how much they buy, they don't worry about not being able to sell, which is the confidence caused by Yang Lin's previous albums.

The just-announced 520,000 copies are already in the upper reaches of this year's album charts, and the global financial crisis has led to a slump in the record market, with album sales falling by 21.7% since the first week of December 2007. Throughout the first three quarters of 2008, only Lille Wayne's album "Tha-Carter 3" and Coldplay's album "VivaLaVida" sold more than 2 million copies. Two million copies is not a huge number, and if you don't have any idea of it, consider this by comparison: Justin Timberlake's previous Superboy group's 2000 album NoStrings Attached sold 2.1 million copies in its first week of release, and sold a total of 9.9 million copies by the end of the year.

The number may not be directly comparable, but the era when an album could sell tens of millions is indeed gone. When Yang Lin announced that the pre-sale volume exceeded 500,000, the reporters in the audience were in an uproar! The reporters present were from "Rolling Stone Records", from "Billboard" magazine, from "Q" magazine in the United Kingdom, and other large and small media, as well as reporters from China-Singapore ~ Lang Network and Sou ~ Fox Network, they are all well-informed people.

In such a depressed situation this year, Yang Lin's two albums have such strong sales that they can try to win the throne of the 2008 record sales champion of the year. If the data he broke out was not adulterated, then there was really no opponent who could compete with Yang Lin.

The state of the music industry is not optimistic, but if you look at the many great albums in 2008, you won't be too unconfident about the future of music. This may sound a bit contradictory, but when you think about it, music and business are not always the same thing.

The 2008 year was a remarkable year of musical achievement, with rock bands and solo singers releasing films one after another, at least the quality was more satisfying than the quantity. Indeed, after many mainstream companies collapsed and superstars were replaced by low-budget gigs, artists had to work harder. 2008 produced a large number of memorable albums, too many to be listed on any one list.

Prior to this, Yang Lin's single "Set-fire-to-the-rain" was not released commercially in the United States for the time being, and was only used for promotion by power stations, but after it was widely distributed to radio stations in the United States, it received an unprecedented response, becoming the broadcast champion of 200 radio stations in the United States, breaking the previous record of 187 radio broadcast champions set by Superboy's single "bye-bye-bye" and entering the top 10 of the Billboard singles chart in just a few weeks! This is Yang Lin's fourth song in the top 10.

Today, in the top ten of Billboard, Yang Lin has two songs, one of which is the champion. In the top 100, Yang Lin's other song "Safe" was also quietly shortlisted. It seems that he is about to start a new era in music!

The pre-sale volume is 500,000 copies, as long as the quality and publicity keep up, then the lowest global sales volume is several million, and the reporters have their own unique judgments on the sales forecast. Slowly recovering from their surprise, they were ready to watch Yang Lin's performance at the end.

After going through the rest of the procedures, Yang Lin stood on the stage alone, he was very happy, today's press conference was definitely a success, a series of surprises shocked the reporter, today, tomorrow's news will be bombarded by him, he has this confidence!

"Today's performance is a small surprise, if you are interested, you can come with me to witness the singers next to me. Thank you all for coming today, thank you! ”

The time schedule is quite tight, Yang Lin bowed lightly and hurriedly stepped down before he had time to change his clothes, and under the escort of the staff and bodyguards, the group walked towards the square next to the Hilton Hotel.

It was already overcrowded, and the people in the small square were densely packed together, they kept shouting Yang Lin's name, and the extremely awkward pronunciation could not stop their interest, and the posters were waved in their hands. There is a huge LED screen on the makeshift stage, on which Yang Lin's previous performance videos are playing, there are Oscars, there are other people's concerts, and there are promotional videos for albums.

The hot weather, the hot audience, of course, can't be better than today's host! When Yang Lin walked out surrounded by the crowd wearing sunglasses, the audience burst out with amazing energy, they looked forward to it, and then expressed their love with cheers and screams.

The reporters who followed Yang Lin from the press conference couldn't help but take a breath, especially reporters from domestic media, they rarely saw such a crazy scene in China, Yang Lin was just the first album, and it had already caused such a powerful sensation.

Yang Lin didn't expect that there would be so many people, he just wanted not to be cold, but the reality gave him an unexpected surprise. Zhang Qian was by his side, helping to keep these enthusiastic female fans from getting close, and said to him: "Today's press conference is great! Your performance is very good, and you don't necessarily have to sing all the songs in the album later, the key is to interpret your classic old songs, so that you can have a sense of belonging and arouse everyone's emotions. ”

The scene was too noisy, even if Zhang Qian's voice was loud, but it was suppressed by the surrounding sounds, and Yang Lin didn't hear what he was saying clearly.

"Yang Lin, I love you!" "Ahh Yes~~! Yang Lin, I like your voice and your muscles very much. ”

At the same time as all kinds of screams, it was the hands of the fans who wanted to touch Yang Lin regardless of men and women, after all, such a close contact is the best opportunity, and when will it not be touched at this time? The crowd of people poured up one after another, almost drowning Yang Lin.

It was not the first time he had encountered such a situation, Yang Lin did not panic, but took off his sunglasses and threw them into the crowd, and then shook hands like dragonflies from time to time, without affecting the speed of his feet at all.

A road dozens of meters away, Yang Lin walked for a few minutes before trekking to the side of the stage, and the rainforest was too crazy.

"Is this the next Mike Jackson?" The reporter from Rolling Stone magazine couldn't help but open his mouth and sigh, are so many loyal fans still worried about no sales? He sighed while taking pictures, Yang Lin's charm had been shown, and no one could resist. (To be continued.) )
