"Li Lin is indeed an Asian superstar, but it is too early to say that he is the first person in Asia, not that I look down on him, but that he is too young."

A fan makes his own remarks on the web.

"I have always felt that this place in the music industry needs to pay attention to qualifications, you can't say that a star suddenly becomes popular, just say that he is the king or something, you say this is an insult to the word king."

"Similarly, how long has Li Lin been rising? He is very popular now, saying that Asian superstars are a little reluctant, let alone the king of Asia. ”

"You say this, how can you embarrass those old kings?"

"In terms of album sales, Li Lin's two albums are not record-breaking in China, in the 80s and 90s of the last century, there are not too many sincerity to be able to stabilize Li Lin's head."

As soon as this remark was posted, it immediately attracted many replies.

"I also think so, admittedly, Li Lin's songs are very good, but it is too reluctant to say that he is the first person in Asia."

"Yes, now that the media is touting it more and more, I'm afraid that in a few years, the king and queen will fly all over the sky."

"I used to think that Li Lin was quite good, but after watching the media recently, I will hehe, and I will not listen to his songs in the future."

"Laughed."

Li Lin's fans immediately countered after watching it, "What is it called premature? It is true that we also admit that Li Lin's album sales have not broken records, but you should not forget jì, when did Li Lin's album sales occur? ”

"After the 21st century, the weakness of the music scene is obvious to all. Li Lin can still swim against the current even when the music world is so weak, which has proved Li Lin's ability. ”

"Those who set album sales in the golden age of the music industry to compare, ask yourself. Is this fair? ”

"And even in the golden age of the music industry, who can break into Europe and the United States? Teresa Teng counts as one, Jacky Cheung counts as one, what about the others? Who dares to pat his chest and say that he has entered Europe and the United States? ”

But Li Lin dares, Li Lin not only dares, his results are also very good, selling 300,000 albums in a single day. This is also because Universal Music underestimated the sales of Li Lin's albums, made a mistake in the distribution, and directed Li Lin's albums to be out of stock. Otherwise, this sales will increase. ”

This can be seen from the fact that his album songs take turns on the American Billboard, and he regards the American Billboard as his backyard.

"And those who say they won't listen to his songs in the future. I'll just hehe. If you don't listen, you won't listen, Li Lin has more than 10 million fans around the world, there is no shortage of you, do you still think that the world revolves around you? ”

"It's just that I really think I'm very powerful, and without you, Li Lin's album won't sell? Wake up, just look at Li Lin's album sales. People don't care about you at all. ”

"I feel funny every time I hear someone talk about their qualifications, and it seems that there is no need for any new blood in the future. Everyone held their qualifications together and ate well. ”

Li Lin's fans' counterattack was quite sharp, and they directly occupied the building.

Now they are in full swing, anyone who says bad things about Li Lin will fight back, some people say that this is brainless fans, but for celebrities, this kind of fan is the cutestest.

Because they really love themselves, and they regard maintaining the reputation of the artist as maintaining their own reputation, this kind of fan is the food and clothing parents in the mouth of the artist.

The conflict in China did not affect the United States, and after the first day of out-of-stock, the second day was quickly out of stock, but with Universal Music's major recording factories running at full capacity, the out-of-stock trend was quickly contained, and a large number of albums were shipped from various factories to record stores, and then bought by fans, forming a small cycle.

"I finally don't have to wait, I haven't bought it for two days, and every time I see Michael walking past me with an album, I can't wait to slap him to death and grab the album and listen to it myself."

An American fan named Hancock said on Facebook.

This fan who has the same name as a Superman in the later generations has the same violent factor as that Superman, but fortunately he knows how to restrain himself, "I have to say, this "M. Happy" is simply very good, there are actually three of my favorite raps in it, it is a surprise." ”

"The only regret is that there is rock in it, to be honest, I don't think rock 'n' roll is good, that kind of music is undoubtedly and noise for me, especially the messy songs like death heavy metal and punk rock derived from rock 'n' roll, it's a kind of torture to listen to."

After Li Lin saw it, he immediately replied, "To be honest, I don't like music that is too noisy, but rock is not noisy, it is a kind of catharsis, a kind of emotional catharsis, for many fans who like rock and roll, rock and roll entrust their feelings." ”

"You talk about rock here, be careful that fans who like rock and roll come to your door and scold you to death."

When Hancock saw it, he first pouted in disdain, and then was surprised, "Are you Li Lin?" ”

He clicked on Li Lin's information, and after a glance, he was sure that the account in front of him was Li Lin himself, and he immediately became excited, "You are really Li Lin, that song "Opera 2" is simply so good, when will you release a song like "Opera 2" again." ”

"By the way, I'm not afraid of being sprayed, those fans who like rock and roll come to spray me, I promise to spray them back one by one, you don't want to sing rock songs, okay, it sounds so tangled."

The more he spoke, the lower his tone became, and finally he said flatteringly: "Li Lin, can you give me a signature?" I have bought an album. ”

"I'm Li Lin."

Li Lin smiled when he saw his reply, he thought this kind of fan was very cute, "If you want to write about "Opera 2", the next album may release a song of this style, and I guarantee that in terms of quality, it will definitely not be weaker than "Opera 2". ”

"If you sign another album, sorry, it may have to wait a while, in fact, Universal Music has already arranged a global tour signing for me, but the specific time has not yet been decided."

He had never held a book signing before, because because his albums were selling well and he didn't need to go through a guò book signing to boost his album sales.

is different from the previous life, the album sales in this time and space are often millions and tens of millions of album sales, and the hundreds or thousands of sales brought by the signing will are simply a cup of salary, which is not looked at by Li Lin.

However, this time it is different, this time it is to promote the album "M. Happy", not only the United States, but also European countries such as France and Germany, as well as Asian countries such as China, South Korea, and Japan, will be included in the agenda of the book signing.

It's a propaganda ploy.

"Okay, the signing party has started, remember to tell me." Hancock said helplessly.

"Just remember to follow my messages."

Li Lin replied.

……

With the release of the number of records by the Record Association and Universal Music, Li Lin's record number jù also began to be known to the public.

300,000 albums sold on the first day and 100,000 albums sold on the second day, it sounds like a lack of stamina, but the fact is that Li Lin's album is completely out of stock, and record stores around the country are jammed with countless fans, but all the records transferred from the factory are sold out, and fans can't get the album "M. Happy" if they want to buy or sell the records.

In a sense, this is also a kind of hunger marketing.

On the third day, after Universal Music deployed a large number of factories to produce the album "M. Happy", the original sell-out situation was resolved.

A large number of records were shipped from the factory to various places, and Li Lin's album sales also got a blowout.

700,000 sheets!

On the third day, sales suddenly exploded, and the album sales of up to 700,000 copies surprised everyone who paid attention to Li Lin's album sales.

"The horror of hunger marketing."

A Los Angeles Times reviewer asserted: "But this is only temporary, and as the effectiveness of hunger marketing wanes, Li Lin's album sales will return to normal in the next three to five days." ”

He was half right, but half was not.

On the fourth day, Li Lin's album sales fell, but even if they did, the album sales were as high as 400,000 copies, directly tying the single-day sales of the American king and queen's best-selling albums.

Then on the fifth day, the sales of the album "M. Happy" fell again, but the decline was very small, only tens of thousands of copies, and at the same time, on the radio on demand around the world, the songs in Li Lin's "M. Happy" album also remained high, and many drivers who drove at night ordered Li Lin's songs, setting off a wave of enthusiasm.

On the sixth, seventh, and eighth days, Li Lin's album popularity only dropped slightly, and album sales have always been popular, and the Los Angeles Times predicted that Li Lin's album sales would return to normal, but they mispredicted when Li Lin's album sales would return to normal.

The three or five days it says is a completely wrong answer.

In just ten days, Li Lin's album sold 3 million copies, and this news immediately shocked the American music scene as soon as it was disclosed by Universal Music.

"It's unbelievable that a foreigner's album has sold 3 million copies in the United States, and in just ten days, when has American fans' purchasing power been so strong."

The New York Times exclaimed.

Since the dawn of digital music, physical album sales have been declining, and even a few vocal attacks on digital music by record organizations, or even lobbying the White House to legislate to protect physical album sales, have done nothing.

The sales of physical albums are still declining, from the original horror sales that could sell 50 million copies in the United States to now breaking 10 million in the United States is a hit album, and breaking 20 million album sales is already an incredible miracle, and the sales of physical albums in the United States have shrunk by more than two-thirds in just a few years.

Some even shouted the slogan that the physical album market is going to the grave. (To be continued......)
