King of Stage - Chapter 841

, The fastest update to the latest chapter of the king of stage!

The spring of 2014 was a little stranger than expected.

First of all, the “One Day King VS Pharrell-Williams” duel suddenly emerged, attracting countless eyes, and the once deserted spring market suddenly became lively.

Secondly, One Day King’s second album “Nine” soared into the sky, breaking through the million threshold in the first week of its release and making it into the top ten in history. It once again showed the black horse posture, which not only disturbed the lake in the spring of 2014, but also surpassed it. Justin Timberlake and Bruno Mars made history first.

Then, Farrell’s album “Girls” made its debut under the attention of the public, but it greeted a disappointing and choking voice. In an instant it made the middle and bad reviews of the previous week’s “Nine” sound like It’s just sprinkling water, here is the thunderstorm, another unexpected upset.

The outbreak of “Nine” is an upset, and the downturn of “Girls” is also an upset.

And then–

112,000 sheets.

This is the first week’s sales of “Girls” instead of the first day’s sales. The cumulative sales for a whole week are not as small as the first week’s sales of “Nine”, or even less than the first day’s sales of “Nine”. This number caused a shock. He was astonished, and he didn’t even know how to evaluate it so that it wouldn’t hurt people.

Shockingly unpopular!

There is no strong outbreak, and even the sales volume of 300,000 predicted by professionals has not reached, only 110,000. This performance is really too unexpected, even if both the media review and the public evaluation are both below 70 points, based on Farrell’s In terms of topical popularity, album sales shouldn’t be so bleak.

But calm down and think about it seriously, only to find that…the unpopular are not so cold.

reason?

Again, the North American music market is relatively mature, with singles selling popularity and albums selling loyalty.

To put it simply, if you want a single to be successful, you need the likes of passersby and audiences. Every Bulletin Board singles list champion is a work that is recognized by the entire market. It is impossible to rely solely on the enthusiastic fans to swipe the charts. .

It is precisely because of this that some “monsters” often appear on the singles chart. The three major monsters of 2012 and the two classics of 2013 are all like this. When the singer’s own influence is relatively weak, the singles Song caused an explosive reaction, and then performed miracles—stupid punk was an exception.

The album is different. It relies on the support of enthusiastic fans, especially at the scene where digital audio sources are becoming more and more popular. Both vinyl and CD need special machines to play. If they don’t particularly like it, most people don’t need to buy physical albums at all. , So the sales mainly come from loyal fans, and there are also a small part of pure physical album lovers or collectors.

In the same way, dark horses are rarely seen on the billboard album charts. It is often the singers who have established a base of fans who can occupy the high positions of the list. The success of “21” is undoubtedly the best proof.

Singles and albums are actually two systems.

Farrell, the three singles have exploded in succession, the popularity is particularly good, and the discussion directly broke the table, but the diehard fans who really like Farrell and are willing to buy the album are far from as many as imagined——

Judging from the sales figures, it is even much lower.

The reason seems to be able to make sense.

But despite this, the number of 112,000 still dislocates the jaw. It is difficult to find that Farrell, who has high hopes, has only such a small amount of energy-

As a digression, the sales of the album “Girl” in overseas markets far exceed the North American market. The cumulative sales in the first week of major markets such as the United Kingdom, Japan, Australia, etc. reached 190,000, which also promoted the second album of Farrell in the first week. Sales have crossed the 300,000 threshold, and the performance is not too bad.

But… lower than expected is lower than expected. Rumor has it that there is a mourning inside EMI, and no one has expected such a tragic result.

So, is there a need for competition in “One Day King VS Pharrell Williams 3.0”? The starting point is no longer a magnitude. Even if the “girl”‘s subsequent performance is against the sky, it is almost impossible to counterattack the “Nine”, not to mention the stamina of the “Nine” is definitely not to be underestimated.

To make matters worse, before people have had time to compare the two albums “Girl” and “Nine”, Farrell has already encountered another dark horse counterattack——

Is it a dark horse again? Again and again?

To be precise, it is not a dark horse, Rick-Ross.

Why is it not a dark horse?

Since he became active in the mid-1990s and signed with Jay-Z to release his first album in 2006, Rick Rose has always been the backbone of the East Coast rap lineup. He has released five albums so far, each album. Both successfully reached the top of the Billboard Albums Chart.

In the past three years, Rick Rose has successfully nominated Grammys twice; and has cooperated with superstars such as Nicky Mina, Drake, Arthur Boy and Lear Wayne many times, and has been in the entire rap industry. There are big names with names and surnames inside, and it’s definitely not a nameless person coming out of a stone crack.

Why is it a dark horse?

“Mastermind” is Rick Rose’s sixth studio album, but there was no overwhelming publicity before the release, no predecessor, no interviews and publicity, and it was more like a surprise album with a press release. After a brief notification, it will be issued directly by airborne.

At that time, all the sights of the entire market were focused on the troika car body. One day, the king and Farrell’s duel was an absolute hot spot. Naturally, the “decision-makers” who lacked publicity and voice were forgotten, as if …The dark horse that popped out of a crack in the stone.

Then……

170,000 sheets!

Quietly, the “decision makers” exploded with such amazing energy, because they were unprepared, so that the media were a little confused.

What…what?

In fact, the media reviews of the “decision makers” are also mediocre. The score of 68 points is basically on the same level as that of “girls”, but Rick Rose has released his sixth studio album, and all five albums have reached the top. The billboard album chart shows the diehard fans of the fans, which has an advantage over Farrell.

As a result, “decision makers” also broke out good results.

When the media’s attention was swarming towards the billboard album chart ~www.mtlnovel.com~, they found that Rick Rose became a spoiler, breaking the expectations of “One Day King VS Pharrell Williams 3.0” “The strong matchup, so that when the list came out, I was a little bit dumbfounded–

Ah, miscalculation.

Champion, “Nine”, King for a Day.

Runner-up, “decision maker”, Rick Rose.

Third place, “Girl”, Pharrell Williams.

Third place, “Frozen” OST.

With much attention and expectation, “Nine” won the Billboard Albums chart for the second consecutive week without any suspense. Although the ranking data is slightly off track, if you look at the detailed data of the list, the sigh is naturally light. to leak out:

It is worthy of being the King of One Day. After breaking the historical record in the first week, he made another amazing performance the next week. Even if Farrell played normally, there would be no chance. Then, can this be regarded as the first time this week after Farrell’s disorder and Rick’s rise? What about the three unpopular?
