In the first week of "Tao Sheng Yi Jiou" going on sale, this long-awaited album debuted at number one on the Eslite Bookstore sales chart with an extremely high sales volume of 28,559 copies!
This week is the second week of the new album "Let Me Fly" by Wu Suo, a combination of five elements. Compared to last week's sales, this album was impacted by "Tao Sheng Yi Jiou" and saw a significant drop in sales, selling only 13,201 copies at Dongguan Bookstore, ranking second!
As for He Rongqing and her "Ku Zhu", this third week of listing, however, was a light and breezy one. It had already fallen, she was the first to drop out in the competition among the three female voices, and was kicked out of the game. However, in this week, there was no expected sales rebound, but with weekly sales of 6,327 copies, it still ranked fifth on the charts.
And compared to its sales of 7055 last week, this achievement can only be considered a very stable decline. Even if we don't consider the amazing performance in the first week, this declining curve is even surprising, because it suggests that this album may have a relatively stable long-term sales space in the future.
Of course, at this stage, everyone's attention is focused on the competition between "Tao Sheng Yi Jiou" and "Rang Wo Fei", apart from Sony Music, few people will calm down to analyze the situation of He Runqing's album.
Because when Dongguan Bookstore's weekly sales rankings came out this week, the entire domestic music scene was almost completely shocked!
"Let Me Fly"'s sales plummet?
Beheaded at the waist?
Although He Runqing's "Ku Zhu" had been cut off by Wu Xingshu's "Let Me Fly", everyone has already lost their initial shock at this terrifying phenomenon of being cut off.
But last time it was just He Runqing! And besides, the one who beheaded her was Wu Xing Wusu!
It's well-known that although He Rongqing still holds the title of Domestic Sweet Song Queen, and is widely regarded as one of the four top female singers in China, her decline in popularity since last year has been evident to many people. It was not unjust for her, who had been declining, to be defeated by Wu Yuxiao, who was almost invincible at that time. To be honest, it wasn't too surprising either.
Moreover, if there was no confidence in the waist-cutting move, how could Huage Records have made a move to step on He Runqing from the very beginning?
But... this time I was beheaded. However, I am Wu Su of the Five Elements!
This is the fifth album of Wu Suo, which sold over 20,000 copies in a single week for six consecutive weeks and broke multiple records within a month of its release, with national sales exceeding two million copies!
This is Wu Xing Wu Su, which has already sold nearly 30,000 copies in the first week of its release at Dongguan Bookstore!
To put it simply, before this period's sales chart is released, Wu Xuanwu is currently the most popular one in China!
And they just beheaded He Runqing!
As a result, in the following week, he himself became the target of being waist-chopped by others!
It can be said that although Liao Liao was already popular enough before this, otherwise no one would have directly kicked out Zhou Mei and revered Liao Liao as one of the four heavenly queens of the domestic music scene. But to say that Liao Liao has become strong enough to compete with Wu Yufan... honestly, Liao Liao still lacks a bit.
And this is not just someone's feeling, it's the first feeling of the vast majority of domestic music fans.
So, when Wu Su set the release date of his new album to be one week after He Runkai's, even within the music circle, many people had a feeling of waiting to see what would happen. However, when Liao Liao held a press conference the next day and set the release date of her new album to be one week after Wu Su's, to be honest, whether it was fans who liked Liao Liao or insiders in the music circle who praised her style and singing skills, they all had a nervous sweat about this decision with Changsheng Records.
At that time, many people were worried and afraid that Liao Liao would be ruined in this head-on confrontation.
But the result is so utterly speechless!
Liao Liao, unexpectedly won!
After the three major female voices in China all appeared, the first week of true meaning, Liao Liao's first week, Wu Xingwu Suo's second week... He Runqing's third week... Liao Liao won without any suspense!
Don't mention He Runqing, who has completely lost the ability to counterattack after being stepped on by Wuxingwusu and can only lie down and take a beating. Even Wuxingwusu and "Let Me Fly", which were previously strong, were also directly cut off without any suspense!
It can be said that before the sales rankings were released, there was hardly anyone in the domestic music scene who could have anticipated this situation. Perhaps it's highly likely... that there was only one person!
Even Chen Changsheng, who had said "If this album doesn't sell well, I'll quit the music industry", was hesitant at first and only agreed to collaborate with Li Qian for greater commercial gain. However, until he saw the chart results, he was also worried and uncertain in his heart.
And even Liao Liao himself, to be honest, although he thought his new album was almost flawless, but when it came to competing with the most popular Wuxu in the market, he actually had no confidence at all. It was just out of pure trust and support for Li Qian that he decided to take a risk and try to help him get revenge, so he agreed to Li Qian's suggestion without any hesitation.
And now, when the results are out, and the entire domestic music scene is in an uproar, aren't their hearts also filled with excitement?
…………
Time is quietly passing away unnoticed.
Just as everyone was still reeling from the shock of Dongguan Bookstore's album sales rankings released on Monday, and still in shock that Liao Liao had actually knocked out Wu Xing in the first week, before they could even come to their senses, on July 13th, China Voice's Golden Melody Chart was released as scheduled.
Then, the music circle, which was already in a state of shock, collectively widened their eyes again.
When hearing the clear names on the radio, when seeing the ranking of the broadcast list announced in that day's "Artist Weekly", I don't know how many people were amazed with their mouths wide open, unable to close for a long time!
First place, "The Tides Remain". Liao Liao!
The Second Prize, "Bitter and Sweet Years", by Liao Liao!
Third place, "Loess Plateau". Liao Liao!
Fourth place, "When Dreams Wake Up", Liao Liao!
Fifth place, "Hand in Hand", Liu Liao!
Sixth place. "Sisters Stand Up", Wu Su combination!
Seventh place, "I'm Ugly But I'm Gentle", Liao Liao!
Eighth place, "The Woman Who Fears Darkness", Liao Liao!
Ninth place, "Du Qian Shan", Hu Yang!
Tenth place, "Obsession". Liao Liao!
An album with ten songs, seven of which charted simultaneously!
A singer, two albums a year apart, eight songs on the chart at the same time!
And the top five were all taken!
Liao Liao's strength, the strength of this album "Tao Sheng Yi Jiu" is evident at this moment!
It's called sweeping, and absolutely no one will have any doubts!
This is a thorough sweep, this is a thorough domination of the charts!
Since the establishment of China Radio's Golden Melody Chart, this is the first time that seven songs from the same album have charted simultaneously! This is also the first time that eight songs by the same singer have charted simultaneously!
This achievement is definitely an exaggeration to say that it will shock the past and present, but shocking the domestic music scene in the past twenty years is unquestionable!
He Runqing's new album title song "Bamboo of Longing". Out!
The title track of Wakin Chau's new album "Let Me Fly" is out!
Even the songs that climbed back to the top of the charts due to the battle between the three major female voices, not only Wang Fei's "Ice Sugar Gourd" and "Love Bird", but also Liao Liang's "Unfinished Love" and "Cheers, Friends", all... out!
The album "Tao Sheng Yi Jiu" debuted at number one on the Dongguan Bookstore sales chart in its first week of release, achieving a record-breaking fourth place in single-week sales with 28,559 copies sold. It also swept all other rankings on the Golden Melody Chart.
But one thing that insiders in the music industry are clearer about than anyone else is: the Golden Melody Chart is a barometer of market sales!
This week's Golden Melody Chart almost predicted that "Tao Sheng Yi Jiou" will continue to be extremely strong next week!
Moreover, surprisingly and embarrassingly, the title track of their new album has been kicked out of the chart by Liao Liao, but the song "Sisters Stand Up" from their previous album is still stubbornly staying on the chart! Even a strong song like "Tao Sheng Yi Jiou", which had been praised by many newspapers and radio stations as "classic" and "moving" before last Wednesday, couldn't knock this song off the chart!
Moreover, under the strong impact of the seven songs from "Tao Sheng Yi Jiu" simultaneously topping the charts, it still stubbornly stayed at the sixth position!
To know, this is the highest position outside of Liao Liao's works!
Well, apart from Liao Liang's works, there are actually only two songs on the entire list!
It can be said that at this point, even if the fans who were full of confidence in Wu Su before, even if they were full of confidence in Wu Su's new album, the idea that Wu Su could counterattack next week was also reluctantly abandoned - the entire Golden Melody Chart was occupied by "Tao Sheng Yi Jiou", and even the main song "Let Me Fly" from Wu Su's new album couldn't enter the top ten. What else can you expect to counterattack?
Now, even the high-level insiders of Universal Music Group are just hoping that the album "Let Me Fly" can maintain a relatively stable trend next week - if it can rebound slightly, that would be better.
After all, when Huang Dazhong took over the album of Wu Xing Yu Su, and everyone gathered in the listening room to listen to it again, everyone felt that our album was done, even if it wasn't particularly outstanding, at least it should be barely passable?
So, under the strong market position of Wu Suo in the Five Elements and their powerful appeal to fans, as long as this album can withstand the strong impact of "Tao Sheng Yi Jiou" in its first week on sale, then after taking a breather, sales should recover slightly. After all, by this week, this album has only been on sale for three weeks!
And they think what they're asking for isn't excessive, even if it's like He Runqing's "Ku Zhu" last week. Maintaining a healthy decline is already something to be happy about! Can this still be considered an excessive expectation?
Then, in such anticipation and expectation, on July 18th, the Dongguan Bookstore's album sales ranking list was released again.
32,558!
"Surfacing Again" Tops the Charts Once More!
And it's an overwhelmingly strong, surprisingly speechless, and perfectly in line with the normal rules of album sales to reach the top!
Before this, because the two albums "Ku Zhu" and "Let Me Fly" appeared in the second week with a large drop in sales, many people in the industry thought that perhaps it was because of the previous domestic three major female vocal album war's hype, which was really too hot. This led to many fans being shocked, everyone went to buy albums in the first week after they were released, forming an abnormal high sales trend for all three albums including Liao Liao's "Tao Sheng Yi Jiou". By the second week, like "Ku Zhu" and "Let Me Fly", because they had consumed a large amount of fans' purchasing power in the first week, their sales immediately plummeted.
But now this saying is undoubtedly broken!
Due to the hype surrounding the three major female vocal albums, all three albums were extremely popular even before they went on sale, which quickly sparked the enthusiasm of music fans to buy them, with many people even waiting in line to purchase. This is not wrong, but saying that everyone's buying enthusiasm was depleted within a short week is unfounded!
It turns out that as long as the quality of your album is good enough, even if it's already very hot and selling well in the first week, you can still burst out with an even higher sales volume in the second week!
Because in the music scene and entertainment circle, there is this incredibly powerful thing called word of mouth!
Even if you're very popular. Even if the media is hyping you up, when your album comes out, many of your die-hard fans will rush to buy it at the first opportunity, but... If your songs aren't good enough, even if they love you, all they'll think is that it's "not bad" or "sounds pretty good", and absolutely won't enthusiastically recommend a song that can't even move themselves to others!
As for those who were not die-hard fans to begin with, but were influenced by the media's promotion and bought the album, they might be very disappointed when they get their hands on it. They might even directly express their disappointment, saying "It doesn't sound good, don't buy it!" or even "I don't like it anyway, if you want to listen to it, take my copy and go, I'm giving it away for free!"
But for albums with good enough song quality, the situation would be completely different.
Die-hard fans who already liked and adored the album, after buying and listening to it, would be extremely surprised and eager to let everyone in the world hear those songs immediately. They can't wait to recommend them to all the people around them through various means. Those who are not too die-hard but were influenced by the media, after buying and listening to the album, even if they only liked one of the songs, would have a high probability of becoming fans instantly!
What is called word of mouth, the power of word of mouth, it's just a reversal, in the singer and record company are still completely unaware of the time, has been new people into the king and queen, and the king and queen directly hit down to dust!
Now, it's obvious that whether looking at the Golden Melody Chart or the album sales ranking of Dongfang Bookstore, or even paying attention to various comments from major newspapers, magazines, radio stations and TV stations, the reputation of this album "Tao Sheng Yi Jiou" is overwhelmingly good!
So it reaps the glory that belongs to itself!
After the historic creation of 30885 copies in a single week with her previous album "Sisters Stand Up", it has only been half a year and Liao Liao has already broken this record again with her new album "The Tides Remain"! Moreover, she has pushed this already unattainable and admirable record up by nearly two thousand copies once more.
Now, "Tao Sheng Yi Jiu" has officially become the best-selling music album in China over the past 20 years since the Dongfang Bookstore sales ranking was established!
And, two weeks after its release, the total sales of 59,444 copies in Dongguan Bookstore even surpassed the total sales of Wu Yifan's album during the first two weeks after New Year's Day!
It can be said that after this list was released, Liao Liao finally became red to the point of being purple!
From now on, when it comes to female singers in the domestic music scene, even Zhen Zhen might have to yield!
Even if male singers are included, Liao Liao is already the most popular one in the domestic music scene! Even strong ones like Liu Mingliang, Zhao Xinfu, Hu Yang and others can't help but admit defeat!
And her red is not just a simple market recognition, but a comprehensive recognition of the entire music scene and the entire music circle!
It's a double success of market sales and artistic achievement!
However, at the same time, on this sales chart that was enough to make Liao Liao directly reach the top, "Let Me Fly", which had a big drop in sales last week, did not even hold the psychological bottom line of 10,000 copies sold in a single week this week, and directly fell to only 8147 copies!
In the third week, which was supposed to continue its hot sales, and also the week when Universal Music was expecting at least a stable performance, not only did it fail to match the nearly 30,000 single-week sales of the first week, but even compared to last week's 13,201 copies sold after the plunge, it again saw a huge drop in sales - it barely reached 60% of last week's sales, with a decline of as much as 39%!
It can be said that just three weeks have passed, and Wu Suo, the girl group that suddenly became popular before and after the Spring Festival and almost reached the top of the domestic music scene, has been directly knocked back to its original shape!
After stripping away the halo that the album "Sisters Stand Up" brought to them, many people, including their original fans, suddenly discovered that Wu Xiong Mei Mei were still just a leggy group that only knew how to jump around!
