Eight Hundred and Nineteenth Three Carriages
In the second week of March, the Billboard singles chart ushered in a new chapter, "Happy" successfully reached the top!
After "Lucky" and "Blurred Lines", Pharrell Williams ushered in his third Billboard No. 1 single in just one year. It seems to be able to defend the title for many weeks, and this time it has already shown its glory.
In the past year, Farrell has indeed swept away thousands of troops and is hot!
In fact, Farrell has been in the music world for more than 20 years.
As early as 1992, Farrell, as the main producer, produced a work that ranked second on the Billboard singles chart, and the list of collaborations has countless superstar names.
Farrell earned his first Grammy nominations back in 2003, including Album of the Year, and in 2004 won two Gramophone trophies for Best Pop Album and Best Non-Classical Producer.
As of this year, Farrell has received a total of 26 Grammy nominations and seven Grammy trophies.
That said, Farrell is a business mogul through and through.
However, he has always been more active in the field of producers behind the scenes, covering everything from musicians to TV dramas to film soundtracks, etc. Among his seven gramophone trophies, he includes two best non-classical producers Award; he didn't release his first studio album until 2006, which is also his only studio album so far.
It is precisely because of this that people's perception of Farrell has always been covered with a veil.
This year, Farrell is about to release his second studio album. There are already rumors that he will also join the seventh season of "The Voice of America" as a judge, officially sounding the clarion call for Farrell to go from behind the scenes to the stage. To put it simply, the mastermind behind the scenes is finally ready to stand under the spotlight.
Therefore, it is not surprising that "Happy" reached the top, but it just proved once again that Pharrell deserves to be one of the hottest top producers in North America.
at the same time!
The runner-up, "Young Blood"!
Although the strength and toughness of "Happy" attracted countless attention, the momentum of "Young Blood" to create topics did not show any weakness. One day the name of the king once again shone in the venue and brought surprises.
A big surprise!
Since the end of the Grammy Awards,
"Young Blood" was airborne from No. 20 on the list. In just six weeks, he continued to refresh his own peak. Behind the overwhelming "Happy", he also showed an explosive power that was comparable to that of "Happy", soaring together like a shadow. Slowly close the gap.
Farrell, menacing; but king for a day, no less.
Similar to Farrell, in the past entire year, the One-Day Kings have shown an upward momentum throughout the whole process, and every action can ignite topics.
Unlike Farrell, One Day King does not have a rich resume and relies solely on himself, like Sun Dasheng who jumped out of a crack in a rock, but he has already set off a storm in the entire North American music market.
Last week, everyone was discussing whether the Billboard singles chart will change; now, although it has been delayed by a week, the singles chart has finally ushered in a new day, and not only the champion has completed the change, Even the runner-up was changed together, completely subverting the whole country.
Surprise, double!
And, that's not all!
"Dark Horse", slipped to third.
"Speaking Dirty," ranked fourth.
"All-of-Me", rose to number five.
The lyrical single "My Everything" from John Legend is a love song dedicated to his wife. It was released in the second half of last year. After Qu entered the list, he started a long and arduous journey of climbing the list.
John Legend played and sang "My Everything" at the Grammy Awards ceremony, which was gentle and touching, but because there were too many exciting performance stages that night, "My Everything" failed to make it out of the circle in the first place, and It is patiently waiting for the precipitation and fermentation of time that people slowly discover.
This week, "My Everything" directly surpassed the eleventh position in the singles chart and entered the top five. At this time, the single has been on the list for a full 20 weeks.
Surprises, one after the other—the fierce competition between Farrell and the One Day King has not yet been decided; Rise, which also means that "my everything" still has room to rise.
I am afraid that in the next few weeks, the competition for the top spot on the Billboard singles chart will become more intense, and none of them will be good.
Sure enough, at this time, you can feel the rolling heat waves of summer one after another.
Ranking is only one aspect, what is more important is the data behind the ranking——
Digital audio downloads, streaming media data, social network discussions, radio on-demand data, etc.
The popularity trend of singles can be seen in all directions. "Happy", "Young Blood" and "My Everything" show the huge potential of the troika. In terms of sales, "Happy" leads, and streaming data "Young Blood" occupies You and "My Everything" are relatively balanced, indeed showing the attitude of the three singles sweeping the music market, and it can be expected early on that there will inevitably be a battle between them in the future.
The spectators can't help but gear up, looking forward to seeing another wonderful contest this spring and summer.
It is precisely because of this that Farrell and the One Day King can be called the hottest two groups of singers at the moment.
John Legend's fourth studio album was released at the end of August last year. "All of Me" is the first wave of the main wave; The singles and doubles detonated the market, which also made people pay more attention to the release dynamics of the two singers' new albums:
When is the new album coming out? Will the two singers collide? How to arrange the publicity schedule? Will there be trade-offs in program invitations? Moreover, both singers are releasing their second studio albums. Is this a fateful encounter?
Farrell has won numerous honors as a producer, but as a solo singer, can he withstand the test of the market? The market for albums and singles is also two completely different fields. Can the name "Pharrell Williams" drive album sales?
One Day King's first album was brilliant, and naturally put more pressure on the second album. Now "Young Blood" has been accused by many voices of being "too popular", "catering to the market", and "losing its characteristics". Can the album continue the sales level of its predecessor?
There are really too many suspenses. As the time progresses every day, you can clearly feel the bubbling sound that everyone in the market is looking forward to. Even the major radio stations and TV stations have also started to act early. No one wants to miss it. this party.
