Chapter 242: The terrifying speed at which the billboard climbs the charts
On August 9, under the strong call of fans, the Warner Records superstar collection where the song "Five Hundred Miles" is located was officially launched in Europe and the United States.
This album includes most of the big-name singers under the current Warner Records, and it is very popular.
Among them, Chen Qiming's re-singing version of 500 miles away from home is the existence that fans pay attention to.
After the video broadcast of MTV TV in the United States, this song was loved by a large number of fans.
After Warner Records announced that the song would be included on the record, many fans who were attracted to the video immediately turned their attention to the record.
This, combined with the appeal of other Warner Records' big-name stars on this record, makes this selection a lot of attention.
No. 9, as soon as this record was released, it sold out immediately, selling more than 70,000 copies in just one day.
Seventy thousand, that's not a small number.
Not to mention that this is a curated collection.
After the release of the album, many songs on the album were sought after by fans.
This is especially the Five Hundred Miles.
This classic American ballad of the 60s, sung by Chen Qiming, is an extremely classic song in itself.
It is one of the most classic American folk songs.
Chen Qiming's version adds more emotion and music to the original version.
As a result, the song hit the market and immediately began to climb the charts of major radio stations in the United States.
In just two days, this song has entered the top ten on all major radio charts, becoming Chen Qiming's fourth song to enter the top ten on the radio charts.
Together, the four songs occupy the top 10 of the major radio charts.
In addition, the three songs "Lemon Tree", "That Girl", and "Take Me to Your Heart" have reached the top of the charts, and "Lemon Tree" is also the No. 1 in many cities in the east and west.
This made Chen Qiming famous overnight.
Chinese, the first English EP, all three songs entered the top ten of the major radio stations in the United States.
This is already an unbelievable thing.
Now, he casually resings an American classic song, and it actually makes it to the top ten.
This directly creates the illusion that this is not a newcomer, but a superstar similar to Michael Jackson, Queen and other superstars who exist in general.
No, it's not an illusion.
When the European and American media were collectively shocked by the achievements of Chen Qiming, a Chinese in the United States, the time came on the 12th.
On this day, the new week's Billboard Singles Hot 100 was announced.
And when the list was announced, the name Chen Qiming once again shocked countless American media and fans.
Billboard No. 99 - Five Hundred Miles
Billboard No. 25 – Take Me to Your Heart
Billboard No. 19 - "That Girl"
Billboard No. 13 - "Lemon Tree".
Horror, horror!
That's the feeling of all American music media and critics.
Week 3.
Only in the third week of its release, Chen Qiming, who is known as an Asian superstar, but is not very affordable by them, directly proves that Asians can be popular in Europe and the United States.
Four songs hit the Billboard Top 100 at the same time, and three of them climbed directly into the top 25.
It's an absolutely unbelievable thing.
So far, few newcomers in the European and American music scene have achieved this level, let alone Chinese, or even Asians.
Chen Qiming is like a dark horse, black and shiny, almost brightening the eyes of the blind.
Time and again, he has set new records for Chinese and even Asians in the United States.
Every time a record is broken, it always comes so quickly and so unexpectedly.
Every time the list is announced, all the people who are optimistic about this record, including Warner Records, have put their expectations in the highest place in their own right.
But Chen Qiming surprised them every time.
Not only did it meet their expectations, but it even exceeded them by a large margin.
Previously, when Chen Qiming's record was not released, Warner's expectation was to make Chen Qiming famous.
Then, when the record was released and the song was liked by a large number of fans, their expectation became that it would be on the billboard.
Then, Chen Qiming fulfilled this expectation, and even "Lemon Tree" ranked as high as 66, which is not too far from the top 50.
At this time, Warner's expectations changed again, hoping that Chen Qiming's songs would enter the top 25.
However, this target is expected to be set for less than a week.
No one expected Chen Qiming's record to be so fierce.
There was a list jump.
Directly from fifty to the top, in one fell swoop, all three songs to the top twenty-five.
"Lemon Tree" is ranked as high as 13.
In the third week, just three weeks, the song climbed so high that it was only one step away from the top ten.
Such a black big Puma, how not to surprise Warner.
Now, they don't have a small expected goal.
The entire Warner Records and everyone who is paying attention to this record are all united in their goal.
Champion!
Take the Billboard Champion.
Let Chen Qiming, a Chinese, win the feat of the Billboard championship.
If Chen Qiming really achieves this goal.
That will not only bring an increase in sales and influence.
The impact on the word-of-mouth reputation of Warner Records will also be extremely huge.
Think about it.
A Chinese, under the operation of Warner Records, can win the Billboard championship, so what if it is a local singer?
Although the whole Warner Records knows it, they didn't really help much on this record.
The album was entirely created by Chen Qiming himself and produced as a producer.
But no matter how great Chen Qiming's credit is.
As the responsible party for the release of the record and the promotion of Europe and the United States, Warner will definitely be one of the parties that will benefit the most.
Because of Chen Qiming's success, there will be a large number of new singers who will take Warner Records as their first choice for debut.
Even, even the veteran big singers, they will notice Warner Records' promotional ability because of Chen Qiming's success, and regard them as the first choice for job hopping.
Well, it's like Fulong Records at this time.
It is precisely because of the signing and launch of an international superstar like Chen Qiming.
This has made Fulong famous throughout Asia, and a large number of singers and artists regard it as their first choice for job hopping.
Not to mention the words of newcomers.
In the Hong Kong and Taiwan regions, Fulong has now almost become a star-making base.
A large number of newcomers who were influenced by Chen Qiming, or who were jealous of Chen Qiming, chose to sign a contract with Fulong, and they wanted to become the next Chen Qiming.
Because Chen Qiming's achievements in the United States are so gratifying, he also caught the attention of Time Warner Group CEO Steven Ross.
On the 13th, he personally hosted a banquet to meet Chen Qiming.
On the same day, as soon as they met, the CEO of Time Warner, the American giant entertainment group, asked:
"Chen, I heard that you are very good at acting? Are you interested in coming to Hollywood? If you want, Warner Pictures will start building a movie for you right away. ”
