"The king of sales! The myth of the god of song is no more! 》

"The Myth of Sales Against the Current: In 2001, Zhou Yi's annual album and single sales exceeded 7 million copies! 》

"Beyond Jacky Cheung! Chinese singers' Asian sales records have been refreshed again! 》

《……》

Early in the morning of March 8, almost all entertainment newspapers and weekly magazines in China reported the historic moment of Zhou Yi's coffin for the first time.

However, compared with the more pompous headlines of Hong Kong newspapers, the mainland media, which are obviously embarrassed to blow the sky, obviously need to learn more.

But it was precisely the string of numbers that were so cold that they didn't make any sense at all, but they made the entire mainland music scene raise their eyebrows fiercely-

Jacky Cheung, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, officially fell from the throne today, losing the album sales record of Chinese singers who should have been able to blow for more than ten or twenty years.

In 1993, "Kiss Goodbye" was released, which was the year when Jacky Cheung reached the peak. In just one year, the Taiwan genuine market alone has set a brilliant record of more than one million copies, and it is still the record holder for Hong Kong singers' annual album sales in Taiwan.

In one year, almost 3 million copies of genuine copies were sold in Asia, and there were countless pirated albums.

Also in this year, riding the east wind of "Kiss Goodbye", Jacky Cheung released an additional Cantonese album, a compilation and another Chinese album.

The sales of the four albums in a year were superimposed, which won a sales peak that even he could not surpass, and won the highest sales award in Asia at the World Music Awards for the first time in his life, standing on the same stage as Michael Jackson and other European and American celebrities to receive the award.

When he sang Chinese songs on stage, Michael Jackson sat down and applauded.

This picture was reported by countless gossip media, and the name of the god of song was justified, and it completely opened the gap with the other three heavenly kings in the field of singing.

Originally, with the record market declining year by year, people thought that the sales record he set in 1993 would be broken by no one again.

As a result, this record, which was thought to be no longer broken, was smashed by Zhou Yi, who was born out of nowhere, only seven years later!

"Wait a minute, I took a look, Warner's total sales certified by the International Phonogram are 7 million copies, isn't it too outrageous that this is not the highest in Asia?"

"That's right, although more than half of the sales are in English singles, how can this number not be the first."

“……”

After Zhou Yi's sales spread to the north and south of the motherland with the newspaper, putting aside the mainland, which basically did not mention Hikaru Utada, Zhou Yi fans in Hong Kong and Taiwan expressed doubts about the Japanese singer.

In 2001, the genuine sales of Zhou Yi's second album "Jiangnan" + EP album "Graduation" sold 3.268 million copies in Asia under the superposition of various factors.

The English single sold 360,000 copies in Taiwan, 103,000 in Hong Kong, 260,000 in mainland China and 46,000 in Macau.

won the annual crown in Japan, selling 1.507 million copies, just over Hikaru Utada's runner-up single by 20,000 copies;

More than 390,000 were sold in all Asian countries except Japan, including South Korea.

In the United States, as of December 31, 2001, 750,000 English singles were sold.

Because the DVD of the Sino-Korean Song Club focuses on Zhou Yi's yellow race, the sales of more than 310,000 were also included in Zhou Yi's sales statistics in 01 by Warner Chicken Thief.

In this way, the annual sales of Zhouyi 01 added up to a total of 7 million, and Warner took a whole number when it was certified.

Shouldn't this number be able to win the championship even in the previous Japanese music scene?

That's seven million! Even if the English single has a lot of water, it is still a real sale!

What kind of goods are you Hikaru Utada?!

Many Zhou Yi fans who didn't know this singer began to be indignant, but they were silent in front of the Japanese singer's equally perverted sales-

an album that has sold more than 4.41 million, a runner-up single that has sold more than 1.48 million, and two hit singles that have sold more than 1.2 million together;

and two DVDs that sold 300,000 and 180,000 copies respectively.

The total sales volume was more than 7.6 million copies, and the whole price was 7.6 million.

"! If it weren't for the pervert of Hikaru Utada, Zhou Yi's sales should have won the highest selling singer in Asia, which is a pity. ”

"No way, according to the official introduction of the World Music Awards, the Japanese female singer actually lost to Zhou Yi in the final battle for the champion and runner-up of the singles chart in Japan.

"But compared with the total sales of the whole year, Zhou Yi's Chinese album sales are too bad."

In the face of the real sales gap, some Zhou Yi fans who are used to surfing the Internet also don't know what to say for a while.

"I checked, this Utada Hikaru is not the norm in the Japanese music scene, her sales in Japan actually belong to the level of historical monsters, like Zhou Yi, she created a sales myth when she debuted, and she lost to her in the head-to-head duel of Ayumi Hamasaki last year."

"Zhou Yi should also release an English single this year, Coca-Cola officially announced that it is their World Cup promotion song, wait for this year's battle."

“……”

After confirming that Hikaru Utada's sales were indeed not fake, all the fans of Zhou Yi who did not fight against this headwind tacitly forgot about Hikaru Utada, and began to "dominate" in China.

If the wind is not waved, isn't it a tailwind in vain?!

Seven million, even Warner's sales have been removed by a fraction, who is the opponent in the Chinese music scene?

What's even worse is that on March 10, under the official arrangement of Warner, Zhou Yi, who left Monaco, even took the time to go on a trip to get a genuine Guinness World Record-

Breaking the Guinness Book of World Records! The youngest Mr. 7 million in the history of Chinese music! 》

Zhou Yi held the World Music Award trophy in one hand and the Guinness certified photo piggyback in the other, and let a lot of media popularize the so-called status of Guinness World Records.

In March 2002, Zhou Yisheng was in full swing, and in terms of popularity, he completely threw off Xie Tingfeng, who had been with him since the beginning of the millennium!

"This is the Guinness World Records certificate? It doesn't look like anything special. ”

Singapore, 11 March.

Zhou Yi, who was invited to participate in the show in Singapore after winning the award, saw Sun Yanzi who was wearing sunglasses and drove to pick up the airport, the latter was obviously in a very happy mood, and pulled up his trophy and certificate as soon as he came-

After playing carefully, he reluctantly returned the trophy and certificate to him, and said that he was actually fine.

"Really, I'm not envious at all."

"You take off your sunglasses first, let me see if I'm so jealous that I'm in tears."

With Chen Zeshan driving and Qian Jiang sitting in the co-pilot, Zhou Yi, who was sitting in the back seat, smiled evilly and raised his hand to take off her sunglasses.

Yanzi Sun, who was still pretending to be cool, broke her skills in a second after losing her sunglasses, and was about to snatch them back with both hands, but she was firmly pressed by Zhou Yi at the moment when she was about to get up-

Sun Yanzi, who couldn't break Zhou Yi with thin arms and legs, grinded her teeth between her grins, and her crunching voice was extremely clear: "Zhou Yi, this is Singapore, be careful that I can't let you go back." ”

"That's what I said, wait until I go to Uncle Sun to complain first."

In the driver's seat, Chen Zeshan, who was driving, had long been accustomed to the noise of the two in the back seat, and was talking to Qian Jiang completely unaffected-

"Where's Xiao Yaxuan?"

"The awards are over, and after two more days of play, she was called back to Viking by Yao Qian to prepare a new album."

There is also a more~

The New Year's Eve party Yanzi is so handsome!

Everyone in the group is "going crazy", Le.
