Why is it popular for singers nowadays to release singles instead of releasing entire albums like in the past?

there are many reasons.

But the most important ones are these two.

The cost of producing an album is huge, and the preparation period required is extremely long, and it may not be possible to make a return on the investment and make a profit.

The big-name singers who are successful don't want to be so tired, but the new singers have no money and can't afford it.

Then there is another reason:

In the traffic era, popularity is the most important. Releasing singles can ensure the popularity of a singer's traffic to the greatest extent, and traffic popularity is no different from money in this era.

Therefore, it is quite understandable that fewer and fewer singers are releasing albums, which is in line with the background of the times.

But this does not mean that Lin Qingyuan has to do the same.

His plan is still mainly to produce an album.

If a musician wants to develop better, he cannot just release singles all his life. Albums are a necessity.

After all, streaming media marketing is only important in the beginning. If you don't release an album, it will be difficult to fully convey your music concept, form your own fan group, and stabilize your position in the music world.

Moreover, in Europe and the United States, where the music market is highly developed and the audience's aesthetics are more mature and independent, it is not as easy as in China where fans can be fooled into making money.

For example, singers signed by big companies in Europe and the United States have the company's promotional resources and can directly sign for radio stations, streaming media marketing, various TV, podcast promotions, etc., so they still focus on releasing albums and using singles, as is the tradition.

The song serves as the prelude to the album.

Lin Qingyuan also planned to take this path.

Although he can only be regarded as a newcomer in the music scene now, he has sufficient resources and financial resources to support him in doing this. Time is the most precious thing to him.

So we must make it a hit next year!

And the album became his only choice.

Lin Qingyuan spent one night listening to all the song demos Yan Jun sent from North America.

Sure enough, you get what you pay for.

The overall quality is very good.

And even if there are a few songs in it that he really can't find good to listen to, this is the reality...

The aesthetic differences between regions can never be erased, so as long as European and American audiences like it.

Anyway, he didn't intend to make every song the best from the beginning so that audiences around the world can like it.

That's something only the God of Music can do, and he's just an opportunist.

After repeated comparisons, Lin Qingyuan temporarily selected eleven songs from this first batch of demos as candidates for his first album.

1.Blinding Lights(The Weeknd)

2.Die For You(The Weeknd)

3.Growing Pains(Nathan Trent)

4.That\u0027s Hilarious(Charlie Puth)

5.Save Your Tears(The Weeknd)

6.Sunroof(Nicky Youre)

7.Here\u0027s Your Perfect(Jamie M)

8.Be Somebody(Thousand...)

9.Sick Of You(Mason Murphy)

10.As It Was(Harry Styles)

11.West Coast(OneRepublic)

(Actually, the demo does not have a song title, but for the convenience of reading, the name is temporarily given.)

Logically speaking, these eleven songs can actually be released into an album, but Lin Qingyuan obviously wants more.

He plans to skip the newbie stage of accumulating fame and directly produce a large album covering sixteen songs.

In this way, you only need to add a few more singles to start a two-hour regular concert.

Holding concerts and world tours can further enhance his global popularity and influence.

Therefore, the song selection process is far from over, and more high-quality new singles need to be added in the future.

Of course, maybe after this album is released, some listeners will think that the styles of these singles are inconsistent.

emm..This is not a problem at all.

Having a unified style and relying on albums to convey one's musical ideas was the way to go twenty years ago.

To put it bluntly, the current album is just a collection of more than a dozen singles.

There are no longer as many rules as before.

As for profit?

Even though I released an album, I didn’t break it down and release singles to make money.

But for Lin Qingyuan, money is something external to the body, and only by seizing time can he create more value.

Instead of making quick money, it's better to become a god.

There are many ways to make money after establishing your godhead.

You should think more about everything and take a longer view.

...

Time has entered the last month of 2021.

Even if Lin Qingyuan stays on the set and is serious about filming, he still has to take on tasks from the team.

It was said that at the Thai fan meeting held half a month later, a fan who had liked Lin Qingyuan since 2018 wrote a Thai song and wanted to sing on the same stage with him.

Lin Qingyuan read the lyrics and had a general understanding of the pronunciation of Thai. He felt that since his talent for language was so good, he might try to learn it, so... the new task came out.

To put it bluntly, he brought it upon himself.

But what can be done?

The concubines are so supportive and fond of him, so it would be a bit unjustifiable to reject even this request.

besides...

"The Wind Rises in Luoyang", the transformational work of Dangai Ka, which has been highly anticipated by countless fans, has finally made its premiere.

It's a pity that this drama, starring Huang Xuan, Wang Yibo and Song Qian, with huge investment costs and a luxurious cast, did not achieve the effect that Qi Guo wanted.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The Douban score is 7.0, which looks pretty good.

But with the influx of a large number of passerby viewers without fans, the rating quickly dropped to 6.5.

As we all know, a costume drama with a score of 6 on Douban is equal to a modern drama with a score of 5 on Douban, so there is no need to say much about the reputation and quality of this drama, everyone knows it.

Fans can enjoy watching it, but serious viewers who really want to find a good drama should not join in the fun.

However, just because people who follow dramas don’t watch it doesn’t mean that those bloggers who specialize in making complaints about domestic entertainment and movies don’t watch it either.

Just kidding, this is great material delivered to your door.

How could they let it go so easily?

Unless the showrunners paid him privately, they wouldn't be able to watch this popularity drain away.

[Pioneering blind acting skills.]

[After reading other people’s science on Weibo, he was filming variety shows and other activities for 60 days less than other serious male and female protagonists, and then his fans are still tearing up the male and female protagonists for extra scenes... This operation is simply amazing!]

[I looked at the faces of those nymphomaniacs and thought they were so handsome, but when the camera turned to the front, my eyes instantly received an irreversible blow of 10,000 points...]

[Domestic dramas have been very fond of this kind of supporting performance in recent years. The music is lit in slow motion and everyone exclaims, and the emotions are aroused to the extreme. As soon as the camera turns, it is exaggerated in the front, but embarrassing in the back, and he himself does not look good.

Yeah, to highlight it again is simply to praise it.】

[I really wanted to die laughing! I just watched Lin Qingyuan’s Xu Fengnian Reuters on Douyin. I was so stunned that I was speechless. But when I turned around, I immediately saw Wang’s big face... I was also shocked

Attacking to the point of being speechless, is this the strength of Brother Jue? It’s so terrifying...]

[Brother Jue Jue has changed his name. He is now called Brother Burst. Every day he bursts out one way or another. It feels like his acting skills explode seven or eight times in every episode.]

[He is too stupid and dumb. I don’t know if the character is just a stupid person. I only know that he looks ugly, with a big and fat nose, and swollen cheeks. Lan Wangji, Xie Yun, and Baili Hongyi are the same.

It’s uglier than the other one, so I suggest you don’t pick up the costumes here.]

The complaints from netizens are more violent than the last.

The little motorcycle is probably very angry right now.

But what can be done?

The play was performed by their brother himself.
