In early October, Chen Xueqi's first English album "LoveStory" was launched on major music platforms in the United States.
Very high profile.
Because of this album, Universal really put a lot of effort into promoting it. It has been trending several times on Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, etc. In addition, Universal held a three-day album signing event for Chen Xueqi's album in Times Square in the United States.
This is the kind of treatment only international superstars receive.
Sony's international queen Aina also held a new album signing event in Times Square. In the previous endorsements of Huayao mobile phones and Apple mobile phones, Ainaer was overpowered by Chen Xueqi, and she was always a little unconvinced. This time I plan to compete with Chen Xueqi.
Warner's international queens Britney Spears and Chen Xueqi didn't have any disputes, but when they saw Universal building momentum for Chen Xueqi, they felt a little uncomfortable and felt a crisis. Therefore, her new album signing event was also scheduled to be held in Times Square, and together with Aina'er, they blocked Chen Xueqi in a cornering manner.
The first day of the book signing.
The scene of Enal and Blair's autograph signing was packed with traffic and people.
On the contrary, the scene at Chen Xueqi's autograph signing was very deserted.
By the end of the first day, Ainaer and Bryony's new album had sold at least 50,000 copies, but Chen Xueqi's new album had sold less than 3,000 copies.
This is normal.
Although Universal has always endorsed Chen Xueqi, Chen Xueqi's popularity in the European and American music circles is still too low. It's already very good to have two to three thousand fans come and buy the album live. Most people are taking a wait-and-see approach.
In other words, Chen Xueqi's fame is not enough to support fans to buy the album in person. It would be good to support it online.
Ainaer sneered inwardly when she saw the situation at Chen Xueqi's on-site book signing. Doesn't it feel good? Do you know how big the gap between the two of us is?
A fluke is a fluke.
Do you really think that after hugging Hua Yao's thigh once, you can compare with her? At this autograph session, she asked Chen Xueqi to reveal her true colors.
That night, Ainaer once again promoted her new album on Twitter, and asked fans to try their best to buy the album on site. She would give it an autograph and select a hundred lucky viewers to give it a VCD version.
As soon as this tweet came out, her fans went crazy. Each one screamed, indicating that they would be there the next day.
Soon, the next day came.
Ainaer arrived at the scene, and Times Square was indeed packed with people. At first, Ainaer was a little proud, thinking that those people were her fans, and she was the one who called them to buy the new album.
But after Chen Xueqi arrived, most people ran directly to Chen Xueqi's booth. Yesterday, Chen Xueqi's autograph session was deserted, but today she was surrounded by people. In comparison, the scene of her and Britney's book signing was actually much deserted than yesterday.
"???" Ainaer was immediately confused.
what's the situation?
This shouldn't be the case!
She tweeted it last night. This time there will be a free VCD, but the popularity has dropped several times compared to yesterday.
In order to find out what happened, Ainaer found an excuse to suspend the autograph session and just wanted to ask someone from her own company. At this moment, Britney came over, her face a little ugly.
"Nizi, what's going on?" Ainaer asked directly to Blainey and pursed her lips to Chen Xueqi.
"We made a miscalculation, and our company also made a miscalculation. Choosing to release an album this month to suppress Chen Xueqi is undoubtedly a bad move. In Chinese terms, we will all become a stepping stone for Chen Xueqi to become an international queen." Britney road.
"????" Aina'er still didn't understand what happened, and she looked like a black question mark.
"It seems that Nana hasn't heard Chen Xueqi's new album yet. You might as well listen to it now, and you will know why I said that." Blainey said.
After hearing this, Ainaer didn't care about her autograph session. He immediately took out his mobile phone, opened his favorite music-listening software, and ordered a new album by Chen Xueqi.
The first thing I listened to was "LoveStory", the title song of the album of the same name. After listening to it, Ainaer was speechless.
The title track of this album is undoubtedly more amazing than any other song in her new album. While listening to the song, a pair of lovers appeared in front of her. They could not get together due to family conflicts and opposition from their parents, but they did not succumb to fate. In the end, they used their sincere love to impress their parents and lived a happy life. .
The song mentions palaces, princes and princesses and tells a love story similar to Romeo and Juliet. But instead of borrowing Shakespeare's tragic ending, he wrote a brand new and beautiful ending himself, making the whole story more touching. The melody is very simple, with only four chords, but the style is very fresh and makes people feel like a spring breeze.
Then she listened to the second title song, "Takehand." This is a very romantic love song, and the prelude made Ainaer drunk. Let's put it this way, Aina'er feels that the intro of this song cannot be compared to some well-known pure music. This is very outrageous.
Who dares to believe that the intro of pop songs can actually compete with pure music?
And Chen Xueqi did not insult the intro of the song and spoke crisply.
The prelude is kneeling, the opening is crisp, and by the end of the song people are already drunk.
This is what Ainaer said about the song.
Undoubtedly, this is another song that can beat any song in her new album.
The third song "Reeroursuer" soon made Ainaer's eyes widen. Because this song turns out to be an electronic song. The key point is that this electronic music has a very strong rhythm and is very burning. Her whole body swayed during the climax.
The fourth song "Yesterday Once More" slowly calmed down her burning body. This song "Yesterday Once More" is so beautiful, with a pleasant melody, beautiful lyrics, and a touch of sadness. It is definitely one of the most beautiful songs she has ever heard. It's not much worse than Chen Xueqi's last song "Scarborough Fair".
Ainaer even thinks that this song "Yesterday Once More" is more suitable as the title song of Chen Xueqi's new album of the same name.
Then she listened to the fifth song, "godisagirl." His eyes soon widened and he was almost stunned. No wonder, because this song "godisagirl" is actually a dance song, a pop dance song with a strong sense of rhythm.
In another time and space, "godisagirl" was a strong dark horse on the European dance music charts and aspired to be the champion.
When she heard the sixth song "Friendshis", Ainaer no longer knew what words to use to describe her mood. Just because the soundtrack of this song is so outrageous, it is a soundtrack that makes people want to kneel down and worship.
Do you want to know the most classic soundtrack of Gui Bu Wu?
There were a few songs left to listen to, but Ainaer felt there was no need to listen to them. Because just by listening to the first six songs, she knew why there were so many people at Chen Xueqi's album signing today.
Any song in her new album can beat the title song of her new album. How can she beat it? ,
You can't beat him at all, okay?
"It's finished. It's going to be used as a background wall." Aina'er said.
"Yes, China is about to produce a truly international diva. We can't stop it even if we want. Now I understand why Universal invested so many resources on her. Putting aside the composer Wang Xuan, this Oriental girls are indeed amazing." Blainey said.
Britney really remembered the name Wang Xuan in her heart. All the songs in Chen Xueqi's new album were written and composed by Wang Xuan, which is really amazing. I'll see if I can arrange some new songs with Wang Xuan when I get the chance.
Ainaer and Britney both gave up struggling and simply collapsed.
Can't beat it anyway.
On the second day of the album signing event, Britney's new album sold 20,000 copies, Aina'er sold 40,000 copies, and Chen Xueqi's new album actually sold 80,000 copies. It became even more popular on the third day, with 100,000 copies sold in a single day.
This is an on-site book signing event!
There is no doubt that Chen Xueqi’s new album is completely popular
.
It's really popular.
Compared with the on-site signing event, the online sales of Chen Xueqi's new album are even more amazing. In just one week, 8 million copies were sold. This is the sales of physical albums. Digital album sales also exploded. In one week, nearly 30 million copies were sold, which could not be matched by the combined album sales of the three international divas, Britney Spears, Aynal, and Maidana.
While album sales exploded, Chen Xueqi also became popular internationally. The number of personal Twitter followers increases by more than a million almost every day.
In one month, the physical album sales of Chen Xueqi's album reached 20 million copies, and the digital album sales reached 60 million copies. Digital album sales directly broke the records of European and American singers, and it was a huge breakthrough.
Physical album sales are only among the top five.
The problem is that times are different.
The top four physical album sales records were either created in the last century or at the beginning of the new century. At that time, the digital age had not yet arrived, and fans who wanted to buy albums had to buy physical albums. Comparing the physical album sales of Chen Xueqi's album with others at this time is actually a bit unfair to Chen Xueqi. And even so, the top physical album sales record only sold 28 million copies, only 8 million more than Chen Xueqi's album.
Taken together, Chen Xueqi's album sales should have broken the album sales record of European and American singers.
Let's put it this way, after the advent of digital albums, American superstar Marilyn, who once set the second record for physical album sales, also released an album, but the physical album sales were only 15 million copies, and it was only achieved in one year. Digital album sales were pretty good, with 48 million copies sold. It is also the previous digital album sales record number one.
At this point, she has been praised to the sky by the international side. It is said that Marilyn has broken through the peak and created another glory.
But now, American superstar Marilyn's album sales record has been broken by Chen Xueqi's new album. And in just one month, it broke the sales volume that others had achieved in a whole year.
It can be seen how valuable Chen Xueqi’s album is.
Another point is that Chen Xueqi’s album sales do not include domestic sales. This album is also sold in China at the request of domestic fans. Just recently, major music platforms also developed special sections for European and American songs.
Once the album was released in China, it also detonated the music scene. In one month, physical album sales reached 8 million and digital album sales reached 20 million. This is because many Chinese people are not interested in English songs.
It is worth mentioning that in one month, Chen Xueqi’s Twitter followers have reached 35 million, making her the star with the highest number of Twitter followers among Chinese celebrities. Even several international superstars in the film industry cannot compare.
There is no doubt that in terms of popularity alone, Chen Xueqi has now ascended to the throne of the international queen superstar, knocking down an international king superstar.
The most obvious thing is that not long after the album month passed, Chen Xueqi received a top international endorsement, the global spokesperson of the world-renowned luxury brand Armani, and was the only spokesperson during the contract period, with an endorsement fee of up to 15 million eagle national currency per year.
When the news spread back to China, countless people were excited.
That's Armani!
One of the world's most well-known luxury brands.
Previously, Armani’s global spokespersons were all endorsed by foreign superstars. When did it choose a Chinese person?
Moreover, this endorsement fee is already the highest price among international kings and queens. 15 million Eagle National Currency, converted into Chinese National Currency, is 105 million.
Have any of the previous international kings and queens of China received such high endorsement fees internationally? Without a doubt, no! The maximum is 10 million Eagle National Coins, and the brand awareness cannot be compared with Armani.
