Chapter 144 Rip!
Perhaps for the music industry, the direct confrontation of the three female voices, in addition to being a huge topic, seems to indicate to some extent that the competition in the domestic music record market is coming. A battle for market position between two different styles of music.
For the media, the direct confrontation of the new albums of the three major female voices, of course, represents a huge topicality, a sudden increase in entertainment news, and a sudden explosive growth in sales and ratings.
For Liao Liao, He Runqing, Wuxingwusu, and the record company behind them, it represents anxiety, expectation, longing, worry and panic.
But... For the market, that is, fans who will spend money to buy records and albums in the domestic music scene, if the three top and most popular female voices in the domestic music scene release new albums within two weeks, then It's a bit of a musical carnival - of course, for some of the cash-strapped, it might be a bit of a mixed blessing.
As a result, the music circle began to discuss endlessly, especially for Liao Liao's "The Sound of the Waves Still", He Runqing's "Acacia Bamboo", and Wu Xingwusu's "Let Me Fly". The entire music circle, Regardless of whether it is related or not, they were all unknowingly involved in the big discussion about these three songs.
As a result, almost completely spontaneously, the media began to discuss enthusiastically—or to use a more appropriate word, it should be called hype—up. Almost all entertainment-related news, reports, and comments began to focus on the three new albums of these three female voices.
So, after the fans learned that their favorite singer had released the first title song of the new album, and they couldn't buy the album yet, they began to desperately call the radio stations they knew, ordering a certain song they were looking forward to. a song.
This kind of public opinion that is so powerful that it almost swept the entire country was never expected by anyone before.
So, on the day after Liao Liao's new album launch, bookstores and audiovisual stores across the country came to buy "Liao Liao", "Sister and Sister Stand Up" and He Runqing's previous single "Half Pot Sha". The number of people suddenly increased again.
Then, the stores who sensed the business opportunity took advantage of the opportunity to put these albums on the best-selling positions on the shelves!
And then, when June 13th came, even many people who didn't pay attention to "Dongguan Weekly" made an exception and bought a copy from the newsstand, and the major media and major professional record companies even more so. It was the first time I got the sales ranking inside Dongguan Bookstore, and immediately widened my eyes, looking for those familiar names.
It had already dropped to seventh place, but "Sisters and Sisters Stand Up", which was still a hot seller, suddenly rebounded strongly last week and jumped to third place in one fell swoop. At present, only Hu Yang's new album is ranked on top of Wuxingwusu's album, and Huang Yuqing's album that has just been released and is showing faint signs of fire. Even Feng Feifei's new album, after the first one or two months of enthusiasm, was overwhelmed by "Sister and Sister Stand Up" this time.
And "Liao Liao", which had already fallen out of the top ten, seemed to recover its popularity immediately, jumping from the thirteenth place back to the sixth place!
Even the single "Half Husha", which was doomed to have too high a sales volume and actually dropped out of the top 25, suddenly returned to the eleventh place in the sales chart!
The change in the sales of these three albums suddenly made many singers and record companies jealous.
On Wednesday, June 15th, the Voice of China Golden Melody VOD list was released.
The three female voices monopolize eight of the seats!
Moreover, the newly released three title songs "The Sound of the Waves Are Still", "Acacia Bamboo" and "Let Me Fly" are all on the list!
As the pioneer of fast songs in the domestic music scene, the song "Sisters and Sisters Stand Up" has continued to dominate the on-demand list after more than five months after its release. Although Feng Feifei and Hu Yang's new albums It has been released successively, but still no song can shake its strong position.
In addition, Liao Liao's "Persistence" and "Cheers, Friend", Wu Xingwusu's "Farewell" and "Love Birds" are also impressively on the list-among them, such as "Cheers, Friend", have already fallen out of The top ten, but now, because the public opinion of the three major female voices duel is too hot, many fans can't buy their new album, and unknowingly brought back many good memories of many songs in the last album, As a result, they quickly returned to the list.
In addition, of course, Hu Yang and Feng Feifei's albums have just been released, and their title songs are also on the charts.
Then……
"Acacia Bamboo", ranked tenth, successfully hit the on-demand list!
"The Sound of the Waves Are Still" ranked sixth, showing signs of great popularity!
And Wuxingwusu's new fast song "Let Me Fly" simply rushed to the fifth place on the on-demand list!
At this moment, whether it is the music circle, the media circle, or countless fans, it seems that they really feel the arrival of the national music carnival!
Monday, June 20.
In the latest issue of "Dongguan Weekly", especially in the Dongguan Bookstore sales list obtained by various insiders, the sales of "Sisters and Sisters Stand Up", "Liao Liao" and "Half Pot Sha" unexpectedly Compared with last week's data, there is a slight increase. This seems to indicate that the entire domestic music scene, as well as a large number of domestic fans, have reached an astonishing level of anticipation for the new albums of these three female voices!
In the midst of all the anticipation, on Tuesday, June 21, He Runqing's new album "Bitter Bamboo" will be released as scheduled, and on this day, it will be officially released nationwide!
Also on this day, with the powerful distribution capabilities of Sony Records, you can buy this album in almost every store that sells audio-visual products in the country!
Fans are hard to say, at least in the music circle, everyone will definitely buy a box immediately, and then listen to He Runqing's Chinese style, while staring wide-eyed, waiting for the next week's Dongguan Bookstore sales list. available.
And just looking forward to it, looking forward to it, June 27th will come soon.
On Monday, the Dongguan Bookstore sales rankings were officially released.
"Bitter Bamboo" was on the market for the first week, a total of six days on the market, and the sales volume of Dongguan Bookstore was 12,364 copies!
In last week's sales list, she ranked second only to Hu Yang's "Du Qian Shan"!
Even though the end of June has come to the peak season of record sales in a year, even though in the past half a month, almost all the media in the country have mobilized collectively to help " The album "Bitter Bamboo" has done enough publicity and preheating in advance, but when the first week sales of this album came out, many people were still shocked!
This is the second highest single-week score in history since He Runqing joined the music scene and started releasing albums!
And you must know that this is only the first week, and according to the law of record sales, this is destined to not be the peak!
The "Stars" she released a little later than this last year was considered popular at the time, but even when that album was not hit by the album "Liao Liao", she sold four copies in the first week of its release. Today, the sales volume has just passed 5,000, and the second week is considered a hit, with sales reaching 8,055 copies. In the third week, "Liao Liao" has not yet risen in momentum, and she continues to maintain a steady trend, but it is also the top of the sky. 7433, continue to maintain the fifth place!
And now, in just the first week, her sales have reached more than 12,000 copies!
It can be said that if she can achieve this result in "Stars" last year, maybe she can really compete with Liao Liao! Because the album "Liao Liao" was facing a nationwide shortage in the week when it started to explode, and only 11,484 copies were sold at Dongguan Bookstore!
Seeing this result, many people subconsciously felt that no matter who wins or loses in the end, as long as He Runqing can maintain this trend, it can be said that for herself, it is already a big victory that can be called a turnaround !
Of course, even if "Bitter Bamboo" sold well in the first week of its release, as long as you are a bit of an expert, you still don't think that He Runqing has much chance in front of Wu Xing Wu Su's new album.
Because in the past six months, the five girls of Wuxingwusu are really hot!
Moreover, even in terms of sales volume, more than 12,000 copies were sold in Dongguan Bookstore in a single week. For He Runqing, of course, it is considered a big sales explosion, but for Wu Xingwusu... after New Year's Day last year and before the Spring Festival, "Sisters and Sisters Stand Up" "The shock brought about by the sales explosion of that album has just passed not long ago, and it is still very clearly left in everyone's impression.
That was an astonishing record of selling more than 20,000 copies in a single week for six consecutive weeks, and the highest record was as high as 30,885 copies!
With He Runqing's sales volume already considered explosive for her, if she wants to challenge the five elements and my principles...it seems to be a little weaker!
And, you know, the release time of these two albums is only a week apart!
Then, on June 28, "Let Me Fly" was released!
Although under the operation of Sony Records, the reports of "Bitter Bamboo" by major media across the country are already hot enough, but it is gradually going downhill, and to be honest, He Runqing, who has indeed made many people tired of listening to that sweet song, It is still not enough to compare with the five elements and my elements that are currently popular. In addition, although Huage Records is slightly inferior to Sony Records, it is still one of the three giants in the domestic record industry. At this time, as soon as Huage made an effort, there were a lot of reports on "Let Me Fly" and the combination of Wuxing Wusu , hype and comments immediately overwhelmed "Bitter Bamboo" and He Runqing.
Even on June 28th, many media across the country reported that the album "Let Me Fly" was snapped up in major bookstores and audiovisual stores across the country, which immediately caused more fans to purchase the album. desire.
Under such circumstances, no matter how hard Sony tried to promote it, no matter how hard He Runqing ran around the country on the show to promote it, the situation that she and her "Bitter Bamboo" were completely suppressed still made them work together , I can't laugh at all. Even when some mean show hosts specifically asked her about her comments or thoughts on the album "Let Me Fly" and the battle of the three major female vocal albums, all she could show on her face was embarrassment , still embarrassing.
Then, another day later, on Wednesday, June 29, the Voice of China Golden Melody On-Demand List was released on time.
He Runqing's "Acacia Bamboo" ranked ninth - this result is enough to make He Runqing, Liu Mei, and the entire Sony Records frown unconsciously. Basically, after the official release of the album, "Acacia Bamboo", the title song of the album, actually only moved from the tenth place to the ninth place. To some extent, it already means that this song is a failure! At the very least, it doesn't seem to have the energy and charisma needed to carry the hype and sales of an entire album!
And at this time, if you look back at the results of Wu Xing Wu Su's song "Let Me Fly", the whole group including He Runqing and Liu Mei can only frown.
Because on the list this time, the song "Let Me Fly" has jumped from the fifth place to the third place in one breath. Super strong!
You know, in the last week, their new album hasn't been released yet!
But, okay, maybe when they see the ranking of another song, maybe they can feel a little bit happier in their hearts-because it doesn't matter if they are stepped on, the person who stepped on them is also stepped on by others Step on it!
"The Sound of the Waves Still"!
Two weeks after the release of the single, although the album is still not on the market, this song unexpectedly jumped from the sixth place last week to the second place!
At present, it is second only to the title song "Sister Sister Stand Up" of Wu Xing Wu Su's last album!
Moreover, giants in the industry like Sony and Huage also got news that pirated tapes containing the song "The Sound of the Waves Are Still" have begun to appear on the market, and they are extremely sought-after. No matter which store it is in, almost as soon as it is put on the shelves, it is sold out immediately!
Undoubtedly, "Let Me Fly" on the golden song on-demand broadcast was overwhelmed by "The Sound of the Waves" which came from behind. There are quite some good news for "The Sound of the Waves" on the market, which makes people who are looking forward to a big victory Inside Huage Records, the atmosphere was always a bit weird, and it was not very happy.
But then, when the time entered July, after the national high school entrance examination ended, and before the college entrance examination began, on July 4th, the latest sales ranking of Dongguan Bookstore was released.
The album "Let Me Fly" directly airborne to the top of the list!
The sales volume of 29,237 copies in a single week is almost equal to the highest single-week sales volume of Wu Xing Wu Su's last album! At present, this sales volume is also the second in the history of Dongguan Bookstore's sales ranking list!
As a result, Dongguan Bookstore recorded another record of over 20,000 copies in a single week on the record sales list!
Up to now, this is the eighth time that an album has sold more than 20,000 in a single week! One of the weekly sales exceeded 30,000!
Among the eight peak sales data, one of them was created by Liu Mingliang, the superstar of the domestic music scene, and the remaining seven times belonged to the five elements and my elements!
Seeing this sales data, I don’t know how many people in the music circle will gasp. Maybe some people will wail and say something like "the era of garbage songs has arrived", but more people will inevitably want to sell it in an instant. Get into envy and hate mode. As for the girls inside Huage Records and Wuxingwusu, although their real enemy Liao Liao's new album "The Sound of the Waves Is Still" has not yet been released, they are still relieved. Many people felt that they could laugh out loud, and even started preparing for the celebration banquet.
In the first week of its release, the sales in a single week approached 30,000 copies, which means that this album will break through 30,000 copies in a single week next week, and there are almost no problems! According to the law of record sales, this is almost inevitable!
Especially, let’s take a look, it’s on this list. Although it’s hard to say whether it’s limited by the quality of the album itself, or because of the impact of the release of “Let Me Fly”, in short, the result is that He Runqing’s The sales of the new album "Bitter Bamboo" have been cut in half!
7055 copies sold in a single week!
Fourth place!
In the second week when sales should have exploded, the sales of the album "Bitter Bamboo" were only less than 60% of the first week's sales!
This sales volume, not to mention the second week, even if it is moved to the third and fourth weeks, compared to her sales of 12,364 copies in the first week, it can definitely be called a big dive in sales!
Just the collision in the first week, He Runqing's decline was evident!
Just thinking about it, I know that seeing this sales volume, the ups and downs of Sony Records must be dead. Moreover, it is said that after hearing the news, He Runqing, who was in Guangzhou at that time, decided to cancel a program that had already been scheduled, and also canceled the promotional schedule that had been arranged since then. She herself directly booked a flight ticket for that night, and returned to Shuntian Mansion in the early hours of the morning, and then began to thank guests behind closed doors!
In this regard, Huage Records, which won the first battle without any dispute, almost agreed that He Runqing and her "Bitter Bamboo" could be thrown away. It is impossible for them to pose any sales or momentum threat to Wu Xing Wu Su's "Let Me Fly".
Therefore, the publicity and distribution department of the entire Huage Records, and even the entire Huage Records, quickly adjusted their direction and put all their attention on the upcoming "Sound of the Waves".
For "Let Me Fly", which has already made a good start, only "The Sound of the Waves" is the only threat.
Despite the impressive first-week results created by Wuxingwusu and "Let Me Fly", they actually didn't feel that Liao Liao and her "Sound of the Waves" could really pose any threat, but they still subconsciously given the highest degree of attention.
At this time, amidst the general attention and anticipation of the whole country, on July 5th, Tuesday, the first day of the national college entrance examination, "The Sound of the Waves Is Still" was officially launched nationwide.
