Chapter 597: Industry Benchmark!
As for those music critics led by Kim Dayou, in this situation of rave reviews, it was as if they had collectively lost their voices, and they became silent, no longer responding to any rhetorical questions and ridicule on the Internet. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
When many people opened the music portals of Melon, Alleh, and Genine, they were surprised to find that in less than a day, Lee Sang-hyuk's new song "Some" rushed to the top of the major charts of these music websites, both in terms of downloads and playbacks, surpassing all the previous songs.
What's even more surprising is that the second place on the two music websites Melon and Genine is the song "I Miss You So Much" that Lee Sang-hyuk sang to Jung so-jung many days ago.
In other words, the top two positions of these well-known and authoritative music websites in South Korea were taken by Lee Sang-hyuk alone for a while.
......
Those in the Korean entertainment circle who began to watch quietly on the sidelines as soon as this polemic broke out on the Internet, it was also at this time that they sighed in their hearts and had to admit that Lee Sang-hyuk's strength and achievements were the most fundamental things.
Because from beginning to end, Lee Sang-hyuk, as the first party at the center of the whirlpool of events, did not come forward to say anything even when the Internet was at the height of the public opinion scolding war.
What he did was to release the sound source of the new song, and then it was like a breeze and a drizzle.
At this moment, looking at the group of people led by Jin Dayou, who were dancing on the Internet before, it is not difficult to understand their collective silence at this moment.
Unless they are really the kind of people who fight to defend K-pop music, as long as they still want to eat this bowl of rice in the circle and face the "vast sea of the people", they can only pretend to be deaf and dumb at this time and lose their voices collectively.
......
The next day, on Monday, S.M released a music video for the song "Some" that Lee Sang-hyuk and Lim Yoon-a had previously shot after recording the sound.
The MV is actually very simple, just about a couple of men and women before they really confirm their relationship, whether the other party really likes the kind of restless, tossing and turning pictures.
However, it is precisely this simple MV, the appropriate lyrics, and Lee Sang-hyuk's mellow singing voice that just evokes the memories of many young men and women, so that many people can't help but smile at the corners of their mouths after seeing this MV.
And it is such a simple MV that does not have too many location shooting, but because of the appearance of Lee Sang-hyuk and Lim Yoon-a in it, it has reached 8 million views on Youtube in less than half a day.
And half a day later, the momentum is still rising at all, and it is about to break the 10 million mark, which is simply the highest record for the number of hits uploaded to Youtube in South Korea.
This is naturally partly due to the super high quality and extremely toxic melody of the song itself, but more importantly, it is Lee Sang-hyuk's super popularity around the world.
It can be said that almost all fans around the world now know that Lee Sang-hyuk is not only talented in the field of e-sports, but also has outstanding achievements in the field of songs, film and television.
And this time, when S.M uploaded this MV on Youtube, it naturally indicated the latest song of the great demon Lee Sang-hyuk in the title, which naturally attracted fans around the world to click and watch.
......
And on the third day, when the physical mini album of the song "Some" was officially released in major physical stores in South Korea, more than 70,000 copies were sold in just half a day, and this number is still rising rapidly.
When the entertainment media reported this number based on the sales information fed back by S.M., many people's first reaction in their minds was, "Impossible, there must be moisture in this!" ”
You must know that with the development and popularization of the Internet, at the moment when digital albums are popular, the sales space for physical albums has become narrower and narrower, which is an indisputable fact that everyone knows.
If you want to say that you release a digital album, then no matter what kind of sales results are announced, people probably won't have too many suspicions, after all, the quality and popularity of the song are there.
But when you release a physical album and sell 70,000 in half a day, this makes people believe that they can't at the same time, but they have to force themselves to believe it.
......
In this case, many singers in the Korean music industry who are going to release albums in the near future are feeling a lot of pressure in their hearts while being red-eyed.
Especially some rookie singers who have just debuted not long ago, when they see Lee Sang-hyuk's "jewel in front" results, I am afraid that no matter how their results exceed their previous expectations, they will not feel a trace of joy.
They couldn't help but cry out a little depressed in their hearts, "Big brother, you just beat your profession well, why do you have to come to steal our jobs if you have nothing to do"!
However, not all singers think like this, for those singer groups who really have achievements, Lee Sang-hyuk's achievements have just become a benchmark in their hearts to surpass.
For a while, many artists and singers' companies are closely following the online and offline sales data of Lee Sang-hyuk's "Smoe" at any time.
......
Around 8 p.m., S.M's company building in Gangnam-gu, Seoul.
A group of four or five young and beautiful girls with bags on their backs hurriedly ran out of the revolving glass door of the hall on the first floor when S.M was about to close.
This group of girls is the F(x) group that is working overtime at S.M. because of tomorrow's announcement to have a stage performance.
Walking in the front, Zheng Xiujing is wearing sky blue jeans and pure white short sleeves today, with long hair shawl, slightly curly hair tips, and good-looking air bangs on her forehead.
"Xiujing, how often do you and Sanghyuk meet?" At this time, Park Shanlian, who was walking behind, suddenly sneaked up to Zheng Xiujing in front of her and whispered in her ear.
"Inside? What's wrong. Zheng Xiujing was fiddling with the mobile phone in her hand with her low hand, and when she heard Park Shanlian's words, she couldn't help but look back at her strangely and asked.
