Chapter 103 Chapter 102 Big hit!
At this time in the beginning of 1996, even the practitioners in the pop music industry, except for a very small number of people, most of them have not yet realized that the idol era is coming, and it is even more impossible to talk about the first year of idols.
Throughout January of this year, all musicians, all related radio stations, TV stations, newspapers, and magazines said: The era of female singers has arrived!
On January 6th, Monday, Dongguan Bookstore's weekly music album sales rankings were released as usual, and at the same time, most practitioners in the industry got the sales rankings with accurate data.
Generally speaking, from November to before the Spring Festival, the period of about three months is the off-season for record sales in the domestic pop music scene and the peak season for commercial performances. Ordinary big-name singers seldom choose to release new albums during these three months. Those who release albums during this time period are mostly singers with a slightly lower market position. In fact, this time period is also the time period when big-name singers who released albums in spring and summer continue to reap the remaining sales by default.
Therefore, although many singers, especially new singers, chose to release their new albums during this period of time, trying to compete for the rankings during the market gap, but in the sales rankings of Dongguan Bookstore last week, The new albums of Liao Liao and Liu Mingliang, whose total sales have broken through the 2 million mark successively and are still slowly declining to a certain extent, are still in the top ten. Even He Runqing's single, which has only been popular for two or three weeks in terms of sales "Half Pot Yarn" is still ranked sixteenth.
And "Sisters and Sisters Stand Up", which was launched nationwide last week, is similar to most other newcomer singers. After a few days of listing in Dongguan Bookstore, the sales volume is less than 700 copies, ranking 30th. Many people left.
However, just after Oriental Satellite TV's New Year's Eve New Year's Eve Song Concert was broadcast, and in the remaining days of the week starting from January 1st, this album suddenly exploded with great energy!
With a single-week sales volume of 27,194 copies, it airborne at No. 1 in the album sales list of Dongguan Bookstore!
Moreover, on this week's ranking list, including the albums of Liu Mingliang, Zhao Xinfu, Liao Liao and other famous singers, the weekly sales data of all albums from the second to the tenth place is only 29,328!
In other words, the sales volume of the album "Sister Sister Stand Up" last week was only about 2,000 copies lower than the sum of the sales of the nine albums from the second to the ninth place in the previous week!
This is downright crushing!
This extremely powerful posture directly shocked everyone who saw this sales ranking!
Despite the so-called "at the end of the crossbow, it is impossible to wear Lu Jin", it is definitely unfair to compare the sales of a newly released album with the sales of other albums that have been on the market for half a year, but you must know that even if Liao The album "Liao Liao", which is popular in Liao Dynasty, has the best weekly sales result in Dongguan Bookstore's sales rankings, with only 14827 chapters! And Liu Mingliang's album's highest weekly sales record is slightly higher than hers, only 15,660 copies!
And in the past history, Liu Mingliang's album, which once set a domestic record sales record of 370,000 copies in a single week, had the highest single-week sales volume from Dongguan Bookstore in that peak week, which was 21,088 copies!
Undoubtedly, in the past three years or so, that achievement was once considered to be an unprecedented super record, and it will be difficult for newcomers to catch up! It topped the list of weekly album sales records compiled by Dongguan Bookstore!
Moreover, this is the only album that sold more than 20,000 copies in a single week!
However, just over three years later, the album "Sisters and Sisters Stand Up", which was not paid much attention when it was released, became popular overnight. It took only five days to break Liu Mingliang's record. The super record that once made him proud of the Jianghu, even surpassed more than 6,000 copies in one fell swoop!
Now, this sales data record has been raised to 27194 at once!
Even though it will take a few more weeks for the national sales data to be calculated, but according to the law of 20 times the estimated sales of each record company, the national sales of the album "Sisters and Sisters Stand Up" this week, It is likely to be between 450,000 and 550,000.
In other words, in addition to the single-week sales data of Dongguan Bookstore, in terms of national sales data, this album is almost destined to surpass the record of 370,000 copies that was once considered unattainable!
This series of data, this series of new records, is enough to make the entire Chinese music world lose its voice!
However, as the first Dongguan Bookstore to get the data, facing this new record that suddenly appeared, it still published a professional commentary on this week’s Dongguan Weekly, specifically commenting on the emergence of this new record. In this review, the evaluation of the album "Sister Sister Stand Up" is not completely positive, but for "Chong! rush! rush! ","love me Please! " and "Broken Love Front Alliance", the commenters expressed a certain degree of dissatisfaction, and even questioned whether the best-selling of such fast songs and dance music will bring down the domestic music scene "Calm down and make good music" atmosphere of.
Moreover, this comment is said to be from a big celebrity in the circle, and it also mercilessly ridiculed the disordered style of the entire album, thinking that combining works such as "Farewell" with the exotic song "Moscow Suburbs" "The Evening" is put in this album, which is undoubtedly a secret vote of Mingzhu, but at the end of the article, the reviewers still turned back to Dongguan Bookstore's consistent point of view, which is the absolute importance of sales.
Then, without a doubt, he congratulated on behalf of the entire Dongguan Bookstore for the new historical record created by this album, and predicted that this album will break a series of records in the future!
On the whole, many statements in this review of Dongguan Bookstore are even somewhat inconsistent. Although it seems that there are praises and criticisms, it tries to make an appearance that it is objective and true, but it is difficult. It is full of loopholes in covering itself—the more expert people are, the more they can see it. Although the first to get this sales data and the first to know this amazing sales record, it only took one night , Dongguan Bookstore still couldn’t fully react, at least they couldn’t really calm down and analyze this new record seriously and calmly.
They looked a little... panicked!
However, this is only the beginning.
After the announcement of the Dongguan Bookstore Sales Ranking this issue, from the second day onwards, a huge amount of comments flooded out in an instant!
It seems that such a new record that suddenly appeared out of thin air, suddenly stimulated something!
About the fast songs and dance songs of "Sisters and Sisters Stand Up" and "Broken Front Alliance", about the inconsistency of the style of the whole album, about the value and significance of "Farewell", and about the amazing weekly sales volume created by this album , about the girl group Wuxingwusu who suddenly jumped in front of everyone, etc., and even about the re-judgment of the ability of the four major domestic evening shows to promote newcomers and new songs... There are various opinions, one after another, and so on.
Just this week, it seemed that all the media in the country were suddenly mobilized. Radio stations, TV stations, newspapers, and magazines all spoke up one after another, with praises and criticisms, praises and curses, and many people even made similar comments. Dongguan Bookstore had the opposite prediction: he believed that this album was just to take advantage of the Dongfeng TV's New Year's Eve Song Festival to sell songs along the way.
Moreover, according to the market research conducted by the other party, most of the buyers of this album are young students. He believes that the identity of these buyers themselves as pure consumers is destined to have extremely limited purchasing power, and their age It is also destined that they will easily change their preferences, so once the wind passes, the enthusiasm of young people will quickly fade. It doesn't take too long, just this week, the sales of this album are bound to plummet!
And even on the following Wednesday, the Voice of China released last week's on-demand golden songs list again on time. The two songs "Sisters and Sisters Stand Up" and "Broken Love Front Alliance" both made the list in one fell swoop, ranking No. Seventh and tenth places, the other party still published signed articles, insisting that such a fast song, such a girl group whose singing skills are obviously not good enough, is just a gust of wind blowing in the pop music world, and it will stop soon.
All kinds of voices came and went, noisy and chaotic.
The album "Sister and Sister Stand Up" is like a thorn piercing the human skin. At that moment, the inherent rejection reaction of the human body made his muscles tense to control the bleeding, and the white blood cells in his body quickly flowed to the human body. Swimming over here, swarming up, trying to immediately wipe out all the germs and viruses that invaded the body...
It is also like a stone thrown into a calm lake. When the stone enters the water, the water splashes and the fish and shrimps in the lake are startled. All of a sudden, the fish jump out of the water, trying to see clearly where the stone came from. come...
However, when a new week came and Dongguan Bookstore released last week's music album sales rankings again, everyone, all media, and all accents lost their voices instantly.
Just this week, the overall sales volume of "Sisters and Sisters Stand Up" in all chain stores and branches of Dongguan Bookstore across the country is——
30885 sheets!
After breaking the historical sales record created by Liu Mingliang last week, this week, instead of their sales plummeting as predicted by some people and some media, they climbed a big sales level again!
In this week, it not only broke the new record set by itself just last week, but also pushed this record to an astonishing level of more than 30,000 copies in one fell swoop!
This is the first album in history to sell more than 30,000 copies in a single week since the Dongguan Bookstore sales chart was created!
If nothing unexpected, this week, the national sales volume of this album will definitely be more than 500,000 copies, even, if it is speculated to the extreme point, it is not impossible to reach or even exceed 600,000 copies!
If it is said that the sales in Dongguan Bookstore broke the record for two consecutive weeks, and the cumulative total reached more than 58,000 copies, which is not shocking enough. Then, the national sales volume will soon exceed one million copies within three weeks of listing, and it is even very likely that it has already exceeded one million copies. open……
Isn't it shocking enough?
And if that's not enough, it still can't stop some people from standing up and saying something weird...
On Wednesday of this week, with the re-release of Voice of China's last week's Golden Songs on-demand list, even those who despised and despised this album had no choice but to keep their mouths shut.
In the previous week, when "Sisters, Sisters Stand Up" and "Broken Front Alliance" debuted on the list, they ranked seventh and tenth, respectively. Among the top ten on-demand golden songs at that time, because Liao Liao's "Persistence", "Cheers, Friends" and "Wild Flowers" still topped the list, He Runqing's "Half Pot Shake" was still at the ninth place. For the two songs of Wu Xing Wu Su, female singers historically occupied six of the top ten spots on the Golden Songs On-Demand Chart, so that some media have begun to exclaim that "the era of female singers has come", but in fact, and The attitude towards Liao Liao's works is different. Everyone has no confidence in whether the two works of this group of five girls can dominate the list for a long time. Therefore, the sensational "" The era of female singers is coming", they don't really agree with it, and they don't even bother to answer it.
However, on this week's Golden Melody On-Demand list, among the male singer's works, only Liu Mingliang's song was squeezed to the tenth place, and Zhao Xinfu's song barely stayed at the eighth place. The other eight songs When all are female singers, even the most stubborn people have to admit that perhaps the era of female singers is really coming!
Among the songs on the list this week, He Runqing's "Half Pot of Yarn" did not rush down, and was still hanging on the tail of the ninth place. Liao Liao's three works still maintain a strong popularity, and even "Perseverance" still sits firmly on the first gold spot. However, "Sister and Sister Stand Up" has already ranked second!
And following closely behind, the dance song "Broken Love Front Alliance" ranked third!
"Happy Baby" ranked fifth, and "Farewell" ranked sixth!
Everyone shut their mouths!
Coincidentally, as the topic of the rise of female singers has been brought up a lot, just this week, a shocking entertainment news suddenly broke out on a well-known domestic BBS—Zhou Mo got divorced!
All of a sudden, no matter whether it was the previous criticism of "Sisters and Sisters Standing Up" that was too harsh, and now I am too embarrassed to turn around, or faced with such a weird and disordered style, it has been strongly welcomed by countless people, and it has repeatedly broken sales. The recorded album made even professionals not know how to judge for a while. In short, all the media seemed to have formed a tacit understanding in an instant. Everyone suddenly changed direction and focused on Zhou Mo's divorce. The news went.
During this week, various media followed up. Zhou Mo's former club Cinda Records before quitting the music scene, and Zhou Mo's manager Zou Wenhuai were all bombarded by the media. proved.
Although the media from all walks of life were dispatched together, and none of the media actually interviewed Zhou Mo himself, even if the news of Zhou Mo's divorce was confirmed, the domestic media, music circles, and fans were all excited.
Don't look at Zhou Mo, even when she had the best grades, she was only ranked last among the four queens. With the sudden rise of Liao Liao, many media even simply ranked her from the four queens in the selection process. Li was removed from the list, but Zhou Mo is Zhou Mo after all—her voice is unique, her personality is unique, her style is unique, and her topicality is unique.
Although the other party is also known as a gifted scholar, he is still considered to be one of the most famous writers in China who are most likely to win the Nobel Prize for Literature even now, even though the other party has already shocked the literary world with a long poem in his early twenties Gradually growing up and writing many books, she is now one of the few leading figures in the domestic literary world, but a talented, ethereal and beautiful female singer like Zhou Mo, who volunteered to be a concubine at a young age, is still her countless fans In the past, they announced absolutely unacceptable things, so many fans gathered at that time and burned the old writer's works in public to show their indignation.
Don't talk about the beauty of a man and woman, and the beauty of red sleeves. In the hearts of literati, even if they are old, they still have a young woman who commits herself to be a concubine. Of course, it is a great pride in life. As a regular wife, even if the other party is nearly forty years older than Zhou Mo, she may be able to accept it because of her high status in the literary world, but she just married that dry and skinny old man as a concubine. Absolutely unacceptable.
And now, Zhou Mo finally left that bad old man, and immediately made those fans who liked her run around to celebrate!
Although just under the post on the BBS, many people have already started to say something very vicious, "Even if she is divorced, she is already the only one", "When I think of her being fucked by a bad old man, I immediately go to bed. I can't like it", but there are still a small number of people who really hold that point of view.
In this time and space, it is certain that Confucian values are preserved more and more deeply. There is no doubt that the folk customs in the country are more conservative and they value women's chastity more. The status of divorced women—in the time and space that Li Qian experienced, even in the 5,000-year history, when women were really despised from the perspective of the whole society for remarriage and divorce, there was actually only one scholar-bureaucrat The Ming Dynasty, when its culture reached its peak, and the Qing Dynasty, when the whole nation bowed down! As for the current time and space, there is no Qing Dynasty. In view of the lessons learned from the Ming Dynasty's demise, the Dashun Dynasty, which was born in a peasant uprising, has corrected many of the broken problems of the Ming Dynasty in this regard.
Therefore, when the news of Zhou Mo's divorce was confirmed, not only her fans cheered, but also on the variety show news sections of major domestic media, almost all the record companies in the country extended an olive branch to Zhou Mo through the media.
Zhoumo's divorce, for herself, may represent pain or relief, but other people don't care about these things. What everyone cares more about is that the powerful female singer with that ethereal voice, when the time comes It's time to come back!
And right now, the entertainment news all over the country are discussing Zhoumo's divorce, when the singer will officially come back, who will get her next contract, and even a lot of media It’s time to start discussing the interaction between the Internet and the real world, the rise of Internet power, and whether computers are about to go to the public. It’s another Monday and it’s here.
Dongguan Bookstore's music album sales chart, released on time.
