Four Hundred and Forty-Three Champion Singles

The Grammy Awards Ceremony is held on Saturday, although some impacts can be seen the week after the ceremony ends, such as changes in the Billboard Albums chart; but the influence of the Billboard Singles Chart will take some time to ferment and spread, accompanied by The progress of time can show the effect.

In the first week of March, three full weeks have passed since the Grammy Awards Ceremony—also two cycles of updating the Billboard charts. The Grammy effect has finally radiated more power on the Billboard singles chart. Changes can be seen not only in the top ten, but also in the top twenty.

Bruno Mars' second single "When-I-Was-Your-Man (When-I-Was-Your-Man)" is on the rise after "Palace Lock Paradise". The second single released in the third week of January , it took only seven weeks to rank among the top ten. Like the King of One Day, both of them have two seats in the top ten, and together occupy half of the country.

Rihanna, who gave a stunning performance at the award ceremony, also ushered in an explosion of popularity for her lyric song "Stay" sung by Mikky-Ekko. In addition, it has jumped into the top ten this week. The high popularity indicates a fierce upward momentum, which also means that the competition in the future will inevitably be very fierce.

In the second week of March, after "My Devil" stayed in the third place for a week, it finally ushered in a full-scale explosion of digital music sources, and finally achieved a counterattack, reaching the top strongly, replacing the airborne champion once it was released last week. The single "Harlem-Shake" was a hit.

Wait, what's up with "Harlem Swing"? Why did he suddenly become the champion?

Little-known rookie singer Baauer is a DJ. He released his debut single "Harlem Swing" belatedly this year, but this single copied the "Gangnam Style" style. Viral marketing, with repeated melodies and poisonous dance short videos, swept thousands of troops, spread vigorously on social networks, reproduced successful cases of viral marketing, and parachuted champions amidst the bombardment of the Grammy effect.

Now, the media generally refer to "Harlem Swing Dance" as the second song "Gangnam Style", and the super popularity on YouTube is currently riding a rocket.

However, "My Devil" still withstood the tremendous pressure. With its performance on the top stage of the Grammys, it abruptly completed its counterattack and climbed to the top, breaking the blockade of "Thrift Store" and "Harlem Swing Dance" , successfully won his first championship single ever for the One Day King.

Even Atlantic Records didn't expect it at all, because the viral marketing of "Harlem Swing Dance" is really crazy, and it really has a crushing effect on the singles chart, including Rihanna, Bruno, etc. Including popular superstars, it is difficult to compete with this prime minister.

can only say,

Bulletin boards like this will pop up every so often. Last year, there were three songs, and this year also ushered in the first one without any surprise.

However, they did not expect that the astonishing energy erupted by the king in one day could break through the blockade and accomplished a feat that Shining Band could not achieve. Obviously, the two events of the Grammy performance stage and the sweeping of the four comprehensive awards burst into a chemical reaction , This created such a counterattack miracle.

So far, One Day King also officially has his first Billboard champion single——

How difficult is this?

To put it simply, Taylor Swift didn't have her first champion single until last year, and this time the first wave of the new album's lead single "We'll Never Go Back" failed to reach the top. The result is the second place; Justin Bieber has no champion single so far, even in the year when it turned out, the best result is still the second place, nicknamed "Card Two".

In addition, after Norah Jones dominated the Grammys that year, she topped the Billboard album chart, but the column for the top singles chart was blank.

Ronan had jokingly joked before that with a Billboard No. 1 single, he could lie down and rest for the rest of his life. The explanation behind the joke was the difficulty of reaching the top of the Billboard singles, which is far more difficult than the No. 1 album chart. Difficult, because the top of the singles chart reflects the popularity——

For any musician, it is not an easy task to get the full attention and even affirmation of the market.

And the one-day king, from no one to the champion single, this road of counterattack is really terrifying!

The first Billboard No. 1 single came earlier than expected... Many, many, even Atlantic Records thought that "My Demon" might have been stuck in the second place and missed the top, after all, "Harlem Swing Dance" The spread of the virus is too terrifying, not to mention the king for a day, other top popular musicians are also hard to compete.

did not think of!

Never thought of it!

One Day King's first champion single was born in this way, unprepared and caught off guard!

It has once again proved the indispensable truth of "the right time, place and people". One day the king does have some luck——

At this moment, applause should be given to those black fans, because the YouTube data is a very important part of the calculation of the score of the Billboard champion single. The sweeping of the "Lime Swing Dance" is no less impressive. This is a crucial part of "My Demon"'s counterattack to reach the top. Without the attention of black fans who swear and dispute, it may be difficult to achieve.

Sincerely, One Day King should thank the black fans, "Those that can't kill me can make me stronger."

But I don’t know how the black fans felt after seeing “My Demon” top the Billboard singles chart. I’m afraid this is an unsolved mystery.

However, "My Demon" only stayed on the championship throne for a week, and then was reversed by "Harlem Swing Dance", and was overtaken by "Thrift Store" again. After reaching the top and winning the championship, it fell back the next week When he got to the third place, it was as if all the strength had been accumulated and released within a week.

Such a result, on the contrary, is the expected trend. The competition for the top ten of the singles list is really too fierce. Compared with the popularity and popularity of its competitors, "My Devil" is still too individual and too personal. If you are too sharp, a one-week championship is already the best result within your ability.

This week, Atlantic Records once again showed their precision and sophistication when they released the album "Seven" six weeks after the Grammy Awards and after "My Demon" won the first championship. The third single, "Falling Apart", continued to play on the residual heat of the Grammy effect.

Apparently, the publicity planners of Atlantic Records had anticipated that "My Demon" might not have enough stamina, and it was a pleasant surprise to win the championship. They had already prepared for the third wave of the album "Seven". Offensive, maximize the Grammy effect as much as possible!
