Chapter 183 Sales Records
After the indulgence, the next singing trip of the NRG is officially in full swing, and the one they get in "Music Bank" gives them endless motivation.
Seriously, although every member of the NRG has deep expectations for their new album, and the explosive sales have pushed them to the position of a first-line boy group in South Korea in one fell swoop, but they have not received a song show, and the members still have no bottom in their hearts.
After all, for the NRGs who position themselves as musicians, the success of live singing is the real test of their ability.
Now, the five members of the NRG are finally relieved, one on "Music Bank", letting them know that there is still a market for their music.
The next day, Lee Hyo-jeong also sent the latest sales number of the album, and what is surprising is that the new NRG album, which has been on sale on the Internet for more than a week, has a surprising contrarian growth in the year when NRG participated in "Music Bank".
230,000 copies!
The cumulative sales of the seventh series of NRG reached 1.08 million copies!
At that time, the album sales figures of first-line singers in the Korean music industry were basically five or six hundred thousand, and it was common for top singers to sell albums to millions.
But in recent years, with the economic downturn in South Korea, the record market has also begun to shrink, and an album can sell 100,000 to open champagne to celebrate, and only those top artists can push sales to 200,000 or 300,000.
Millennium-Lee Hyori has blown a sexy wind in the Korean music industry, but her solo album only sold 230,000, last year's Kim Jong Kook won the final awards of the three major TV stations, and the song "A Man" is even more popular in the streets and alleys of South Korea, becoming a must-have track for KTV, but the sales of that album are only 300,000.
There is also last year's strong newcomer TVXQ, the number announced by S.M. Before the release of the new album, the pre-sales had reached 200,000, but the final sales were only 280,000 copies.
It is a miracle that NRG's album can sell millions in such a market environment.
And, it's important to note that this album from NRG has been on sale for more than a week, and it's important to know that the first two days of sale are crucial for any new album. The first week of sales will determine the ultimate fate of an album, and after a week, even the most popular albums will gradually decline and begin to cool down over time.
In the past two days, the NRG album has basically maintained a single-day sales of 50,000 or 60,000 copies, although it is possible that the sales figure will exceed one million, but it will take time. Maybe this time will not be known until the end of the year.
But who knows, one on a music program has stimulated countless people's desire to buy, and directly pushed the sales of NRG's new album to the Million Club.
When Lee Hyo-jeong holds the number jù. When she broke into Lee Jun-hee's studio, her voice was trembling, and it was obvious that this number. Or the time when this number will be realized is something she never expected.
“oppa! We ~~~~~~ us~~~~~~ it's time for us to announce it and hold a celebration! ”
The album sold more than one million. At this time, no one can say anything about the public script celebration banquet, after all, everyone knows what the market environment of South Korea has been in recent years, and it is not an exaggeration to say that NRG has achieved a miracle.
Of course, Lee Jun-hee was also very excited, and his heart was beating wildly when he first heard that number, but after calming down, he still refused.
"Filial piety! Calm down first! Lee Jun-hee calmed down others, but in fact his voice was also trembling, "It's not the time yet!" Now is not the time! ”
According to the previous plan, the promotion period of this new album is two months, and judging by the current sales number, there will be room for album sales to increase in the near future.
"The most important thing we have right now is publicity, to announce to everyone that we are back at NRG! Don't be in a hurry to celebrate, in this way, you will release the sales number in the name of the company first, and the celebration will be said in two months! ”
Lee Jun-hee didn't say it explicitly, but in fact, he was looking forward to another record in his heart, who is the holder of the Korean single record sales record?
Gold Modeling!
At the beginning, one of Kim's albums sold 1.92 million, almost reaching 2 million!
And this record has been sealed for 12 years, and now, maybe NRG really has a chance to break this record and become the king of ticket sales in the Korean music industry.
When the time comes, it will be ~~~~~~~~~~ to celebrate again
When I think of that exciting time, Lee Jun-hee is not calm!
In order to achieve this goal, the next NRG staff also worked at full speed, if the previous week, NRG felt that the trip was very hard, then now, they are simply overdrawing their lives.
Eat! Eat in the car! Sleep! Sleep in the car!
This time, NRG is really fighting!
The NRG company released the news to the outside world, in fact, people have known this news for a long time, on the album sales website, every once in a while, the sales number will be refreshed, and careful people have long found out that the sales of NRG's single-day album have exceeded 200,000 again.
The media naturally wants to report on it, the Korean music industry has been in the music industry for too long, and there has not been such an exciting moment for a long time, although Lee Hyori in front and Kim Jong Kook last year have successfully blown a whirlwind in the music industry, but compared with the current NRG, they are obviously weak.
After learning about the album sales of NRG, Li Xiuman of the S.M company was so angry that he threw several teacups in a row to vent his anger, before he deliberately let TVXQ return early in order to suppress NRG, and on the first day of his return, TVXQ used 100,000 first-day sales to blow the horn of attack to NRG, but now?
The NRG album has been released for more than a week, but it once again defended its position with more than 200,000 single-day sales, and Li Xiuman realized that TVXQ, which he regarded as a nirvana, was like a child in front of NRG.
That's not too much, first of all. NRG is a senior who has debuted for eight years, and secondly, the number of sales is real, in the face of TVXQ who came to confront him, NRG touched the coquettish child beside him like an elder, and told him not to make trouble, and ruled the Korean song industry.
NRG's crazy sales count shocked the entire Korean music industry, the troops, and probably the entire Korean entertainment industry.
What's going on?
Could it be that the time is back to the 90s. Was it an era when records sold in the tens or millions at every turn?
However, TVXQ's album, which is at No. 2 on the charts with a sales figure of 180,000 for the time being, told everyone with a bloody reality that nrg is just an example.
Li Xiaozhen, who was shocked by this magnificent picture, was a little forgetful, and once again notified the production company to print a million copies, waiting for fans to place orders on the Internet.
Next, on MBC TV's "Music Center" program. Before the media boom, the confrontation between NRG and TVXQ, a distant ancestor and a new generation, which countless fans have paid attention to, did not have a scene of sparks splashing, and it seemed to be logical. In the first meeting between the two teams, NRG easily won the first round.
Then, the song "One Day at a Time" began to dominate in "Music Bank", "Music Center", "MCD" and "Popular Ballads".
Just after NRG successfully achieved three consecutive championships in the four major music programs, it didn't give other singers a chance to breathe at all. Their second wave of title songs, "Crime and Punishment", is coming strongly.
is completely different from the song "One Day at a Time", this song "Crime and Punishment" is obviously much higher in tune. If "One Day at a Time" is catering to the public's taste, then this "Crime and Punishment" is showing the singing skills of the NRG members.
Every member of the NRG actually has excellent singing skills, but the music of the NRG at the beginning emphasized too much on sound effects and dance, so that people only remembered their dances, hairstyles and costumes, and ignored their singing skills.
In this song "Crime and Punishment", the members of the NRG can finally show it happily, especially Lee Jun-hee, who has the reputation of golden vocal cords, has always been a representative figure in the idol of the Korean music industry, and when singing this song, Lee Jun-hee also showed it without reservation.
After listening to this song, a famous Korean music critic gave a very high evaluation in his column, you know, this music critic was known for his poisonous tongue before, and even Kim Jong Kook, who achieved the triple crown last year, was scolded by him in his column to the point of almost ascending to heaven.
Now I have learned to praise people!
But the more this happens, the higher the expectations for the song!
followed by another wave of three consecutive championships, during which TVXQ's new album was no longer mentioned, and even Li Xiuman seemed to have given up his plan to use TVXQ and NRG to fight in the ring, and after hastily turning around twice on the four major ballad programs, he announced the end of publicity.
Subsequently, it was the third title song of the NRG album "I Love You", which was also unstoppable, with no rivals at all, and after all three title songs won the triple crown of four TV stations, NRG finally stopped playing songs, although their fans jointly asked them to continue to slaughter the whole year's ballad programs with other songs.
But NRG still vaguely said in the interview program that this time the album promotion has ended, on the one hand, because they themselves are a little embarrassed, because of their strength, forcing other singers to run out of jobs, and those who bumped into it because of "coincidence" directly broke their heads, and the veteran singers are a little better, and those newcomers who debuted during this period are all crushed by NRG and there is no scum left.
Knowing that the promotion of the seventh album of the NRG has ended, countless singers and the president of their agency are collectively relieved, and they are really worried that the NRG will comply with the public opinion and really use all the songs in the album to wreak havoc on the music industry.
If that's the case, they really don't have a good life, but fortunately, NRG is still kind and knows the truth that everyone carries the sedan chair, so they didn't let the current raging trend continue.
With a perfect report card, the NRG waved goodbye, those that had been prepared for a long time, only because the NRG was menacing. It makes people's hearts chill, and the singers who can only postpone the new album plan can finally announce the new album plan to the outside world.
In the past two months, the Korean music industry was dominated by NRG, and now it's time for a hundred flowers to bloom!
It's just that because of the two-month suppression of the NRG, when they left, the scuffle that began by the singers who rushed out of the swarm looked a hundred times more intense than the previous NRG's crushing.
Who let this time, there are too many singers waiting!?
On the other hand. It is also because the next step of the NRG company in 2005 has been officially launched, and the concert, all the members of the NRG are now busy preparing for the concert.
For this reason, KBS TV's "NRGHOUSEHOLD" program, NRG did not have time to shoot, and KBS TV, which was forced to helpless, could only shoot a special program, and asked every member of NRG to call their best friends and make a temporary cameo appearance.
There is no doubt that Lee Jun-hee once again called Kim Jong Kook!
NRG is so busy now that he doesn't even have time to shoot a regular variety show. Where is the time to satisfy the fans, and take a lot of time out every week to go around the scene of the four major ballad programs?
So only "I Love You" remained on the KBS TV station "Music Bank" without coherence restrictions, and the five-member NRG team plunged headlong into the preparations for the concert.
However, all five people in the NRG thought that yes. This song, which was finally thrown on the "Music Bank" program by them like a child that no one wants, actually wrote a myth.
When NRG first appeared on the "Music Bank" show, they really wanted to break the five-consecutive championship record of the mythical group of good friends, but as time passed, they have long forgotten about it.
And. Although the musicality of the song "I Love You" is very high, it is similar to the popular saliva song in terms of musical style. It's quite different.
was able to achieve three consecutive championships on the four major music programs, which has surprised the author Lee Junxi and Lu Yumin, who participated in the lyrics.
But what they never expected was that this song happened to be launched on Valentine's Day, and with its beautiful tune and far-reaching lyrics, it won the love of countless people and became the most popular confession song nowadays.
Even some artists sang this song in the show from time to time, and even made free publicity for this song.
So, in the midst of such attention, this song finally won the twelfth consecutive crown of KBS's "Music Bank", completely breaking the record that the mythical group has held for several years, which many people think is difficult for anyone to break.
If it weren't for the twelfth place, when NRG came to the scene to accept the award, it said that the song officially withdrew from the charts, and this one might even continue.
The brilliance of the album "1/6" is actually far more than that, but this will not be revealed one by one until the time slowly ferments.
Of course, these are all later words, and the current NRG has no time to wonder if their album will be passed on, and they are even too busy to forget the time and devote themselves to the preparation of the next concert.
Of course, there is one more thing that NRG must do before that, and that is the celebration party, and after the end of the two-month promotional period for the new album, the latest sales figures have come out.
Jin Modeling set a sales record more than ten years ago, and now it has really been broken.
2.56 million copies!
To describe it as a miracle, it is no longer enough to highlight the status of the NRG album in the Korean music industry, myth! It can only be said to be a myth!
Moreover, in the future, the number of sales of this album will continue to grow, and as for what kind of height the number of sales of this album will grow in the future, NRG no longer cares, and it is already a very lucky thing for them to be able to achieve the current results.
You know, just this time last year, NRG was still facing an existential crisis?
The sixth series failed, Wen Chengxun retreated, Li Chengzhen and Qian Mingxun, Lu Yumin faced military service, and the NRG almost reached the time to say goodbye at any time.
But now, the NRG is back on their feet, not only back on their feet, but this time, they're standing taller.
In the hall on the first floor of the NRG company, the celebration banquet was going on enthusiastically, and the families of the NRG members and friends in the circle were present, and even Jin Huancheng's parents and sister arrived.
At the banquet scene, NRG, as the host, naturally let go of a qiē and drank heavily, these two months, they have really worked hard, there is no chance to rest at all, and even when filming the show, as long as the camera lens is not scanned, they have to close their eyes and sleep, and they have all cultivated special skills that can sleep at any time and anywhere.
Lee Jun Hee was greeting the mythical group, and after several drinks with his good friend in succession, Lee Jun Hee turned to leave, and suddenly felt the mobile phone in his pocket vibrate.
took it out and looked at it, Li Junxi couldn't help but smile bitterly: Senior! I hope I can give me a chance to thank my seniors! Also, congratulations on the album's big hit! Han Hyo-joo!
Li Junxi rubbed his hair and muttered helplessly: "This girl, she is really reluctant!" (To be continued......)
