Chapter Eighty-Four: Another Hit Song

EXO officially returned on August 5th, and began to play songs mainly for the first week of accumulation.

In the second week, on the 16th, "Music Bank" won the first place, and in addition to the first trophy for popular songs.

And since the third week, EXO's accumulation has been enough, and the popularity of "Roar" has completely spread, and from this week onwards, they have swept all the singing programs, without missing a single one.

All the opponents encountered in the middle, whether they have just returned, the once popular idol group, or the newcomer group that became famous and soared by the hit song, were all ruthlessly swept by EXO and "Roar", without any mercy.

EXO's return directly cut off the dream of the first-line boy group beast and the predecessor FX of the same company, and also knocked several returning combinations and solos in the middle, including 2NE1, Ailee, . P, Lee Shengli, Infinite, Lee Seon-mi, and CrayonPop.

Many of these artists are very popular, and they are all strong contenders when they return in other periods, but unfortunately this time their opponents broke out really shockingly.

A series of fallen names set off the explosive heat of EXO in August, even in September, it is constantly spreading and fermenting, and the roar of novas from outer space seems to be unstoppable.

Especially in the student group, "Roar" has become the class song of most classes, in junior and senior high schools, during recess, countless classes will hear the melody of "Roar", and if you look closely, you can find that students, both male and female, gather together in twos and threes, watch the MV, hum and learn to dance at the same time.

Some media outlets found out about this amazing and hilarious situation, and they have dubbed EXO the title of 'Ruler of Middle and High Students', indicating that they have completely dominated the young student fan base of the peninsula.

There is a phenomenon that clearly supports this.

Star-chasing is a culture of Peninsula students, and many new students enter the school, or when they introduce each other to each other, they usually ask each other which star they like.

But since late August, students have stopped asking questions.

It's popular nowadays to ask 'Who do you like EXO?' “

…………

"Is one stable today? I looked at the trend on the Internet, and the opponent is very strong. ”

In XO's lounge, Ji Jingyuan sat in the corner with his legs crossed, chatting comfortably with the members who hadn't seen him for a few days.

"One of today's alternates is us and CrayonPop, right? Don't worry, I've bumped into them several times, and I haven't lost, so there should be no problem. ”

Du Junxiu raised his eyes and thought about it, and then said OK quite heartily.

"CrayonPop's recent popularity has really exploded, a bit like us half a month ago, but the shortcomings of this group are more obvious, and they can't steal us."

"But their song "Barbarbar" is really popular, and the national feeling is going to surpass our "Roar", and this song is playing in many places."

Hearing this topic, the members began to discuss.

In the recent music industry, in addition to the soaring popularity of EXO, the other is the girl group CrayonPop, referred to as the crayon group, which went directly out of the circle because of the popularity of the song.

This girl group debuted in July last year, and it is still a junior of EXO. They have a very small brokerage behind them and don't have many resources.

For more than a year since his debut, he has been obscure, and he belongs to the kind of combination that can no longer be pasted, and he can't even get a trip to a singing show, so he can only rely on street roadshows in MRT stations, underground streets, business district squares and other places, as well as running some small business performances to barely survive.

On June 20 of this year, they released their new single "Barbarbar".

When this song was first released, no one cared about it at all, in addition to the fact that the group did not have any fame, the MV was also very simple, not to mention any special effects, and the costumes were very simple.

But after nearly a month of slow fermentation, by the end of July, this song and their 'in-line cylinder dance' became popular all over the peninsula at an unimaginable speed, and the music source performance of "Barbarbar" also climbed from a notin state outside the hundreds of major charts to the first place at the speed of light, and even directly squeezed "Roar" down.

Throughout August and September, the two most popular songs played in the streets and alleys of the peninsula, in addition to EXO "Roar", are the super hits of the Crayon Troupe.

And because the melody of the song is catchy, the dance is simple and full of magic, and the Internet is full of videos of various listeners and passers-by covering their dance, so that the popularity of this song has been maintained in a considerable state.

This song "barbarbar" also made CrayonPop, a girl group that debuted more than a year ago and was still outside the 18th line, have the popularity and popularity of a first-line girl group in just one or two months.

It's a pity that their shortcomings are also relatively obvious, the economic company is very small, and they have no experience in dealing with the popularity of this combination, and they do not have the corresponding resources for follow-up publicity and investment.

This song has exploded to the extent that it is out of the circle, and it is being played on the streets and alleys, but it is completely different from the exponential growth of fans of EXO, which is also a big hit, although their popularity is high, but the growth rate of the fan base cannot match this popularity.

When I went to the street for interviews, there were really few people who had never heard the song "Barbarbar", but very few knew the names of the members, and most of them didn't even know how many people there were in the group.

CrayonPop perfectly interprets what it means to be a singer who is not popular.

If it is placed in normal times, even in this case, with their super high popularity, they can take a few songs.

It's a pity that their hot period and EXO's return this time completely coincide, and there has been no one since August.

As expected, in today's selection, EXO defeated the crayon troupe with a score without suspense, and won the fourth consecutive hit song in "Music Bank".

From the first place in "Music Bank" on August 16th, to the fourth week today, all the positions have been captured by EXO and have never been left behind.

"Music Bank" is not limited to one consecutive places, and at the current trend, even if EXO finishes playing, it should still be able to win one or two more trophies.

And a week later, GD returned, and with GD's popularity and popularity, it was difficult for CrayonPop to compete with him.

It is very likely that there is no one who plays a song in such a circle, and they are really miserable.
