You must know that today's autograph session is not an open autograph session. The quotas are drawn from the coupons purchased from the album, and the number is not large.
Most of the fans below do not have a spot for autograph signing. They gather here just to support their idols and take a look at them.
Chi Jingyuan's previous worries disappeared at this moment, and he felt moved but also a little sour.
The members maintained bright smiles and high enthusiasm throughout the whole process, performed live on stage, and then chatted intimately with the fans for a while, completing the autograph session perfectly, and making these elders just want to see them.
Fans who came from far away but were not eligible to sign the autograph left with satisfaction.
The Busan autograph session officially started at two o'clock in the afternoon. After it ended, they immediately got into the nanny car and rushed to Daejeon, where they held another autograph session at seven o'clock in the evening.
This time there were only a lot more fans than the one in the afternoon, and the lively scene made all the members' fatigue disappear.
Especially Chi Jingyuan, he is the most tired one. Even though his hand signature is very sour, he doesn't care much. On the contrary, he still has a unique sense of happiness in his heart, and he still treats everyone who likes him with full enthusiasm.
people.
This feeling is also one of the important factors in his ability to persist in his idol career.
Today's two autograph sessions also proved that the popularity of this comeback is completely different from last year's debut.
After the show, the members didn't even have time to eat, so they got in the car and rushed to Seoul. There was also a radio program called "Prodigy's Deep Breakdown" to be recorded in the evening.
"Brother, when can I eat? I'm starving."
The 12 people were divided into two nanny cars. K and M sat separately. Park Chanyeol asked wailingly after getting into the nanny car.
Several people from the K team also echoed the same. When I signed the book before, I didn't feel it because I wasn't paying attention to it. As soon as I got in the car, I felt hungry.
"You guys should order some snacks in the car first. When we get to Seoul, we'll go eat first."
Li Chenghuan handed over a plastic bag with snacks and offered a word of comfort.
"Hey Yigu, the results of this comeback are indeed very gratifying, and the popularity of the autograph signing is also exciting. It's just that I'm a little unaccustomed to having so many schedules all of a sudden."
"We have to adapt. All artists come back like this. This is just the beginning."
"Ah, I'm so hungry..."
…………
Today is the 7th. Several days have passed since the album was officially released on June 3. EXO has a good momentum and its fame has gradually spread.
Although the results are gratifying, there is also good news and bad news.
The good news is that the sales of the album are very gratifying, and the pre-sale situation was very good. The sales exceeded 10,000 copies on the first day of release. In the following days, the sales did not plummet, but went up.
The sales figure in a single day is already a sales figure that many Futuan albums cannot achieve in a year.
Since the release of the first regular album, EXO has occupied the top two spots on the real-time sales rankings, and has opened a gap with the third place.
The first and second are the Korean version and Xiawen version of their albums, namely "xoxo(kiss)" and "xoxo(hug)" respectively.
Kiss means kiss and hug means hug. This name expresses the feelings towards the fans.
In the past few days, combined with pre-sales, the two versions of the album have sold nearly 200,000 copies. It is estimated that the sales of EXO's regular album will exceed last year's debut mini album "Mama" without waiting for the end of this week.
Cumulative sales volume over one year.
The same album by the same group, but two different versions directly occupied the top two on the sales list, and the position is extremely stable. The sales curve is very stable every day, which shocked countless people, even people in the industry, including other groups
Idols all feel incredible about the explosive sales of EXO's comeback.
According to statistics, of all the album sales in Peninsula in the past week, the two versions of EXO's albums combined accounted for nearly 70% of the entire market.
That is, the sales of all other artists combined are less than half of theirs.
Of course, it has a lot to do with the fact that there was no return of the trend group in the past few days.
Kim Taeyeon called specifically to complain that if things continue like this, the sales of one of their Girls' Generation's highest-selling albums, the regular third album "The Boys" released in 2012, will be surpassed by EXO, which will make her a senior.
fell shame.
As of last month, "the boys" had sold more than 400,000 copies, widening the gap with other girl groups.
The second-ranked girl group is also Girls’ Generation, which released “I Got A Boy” at the beginning of the year.
But according to this growth rate, it may not take more than a month for what Kim Taeyeon said to come true.
The explosive sales of exo's comeback exceeded everyone's expectations, which made the company feel that its investment was not in vain and made a huge profit at the same time. However, the trend of music performance is somewhat unsatisfactory.
The results on the first day of the release of the music source were astonishing. The title song landed at No. 1 and swept several charts. Melon's performance was also very good. "Wolf" landed at No. 2, directly surpassing Lee Hyori, who has a high national popularity.
Go down.
It was only explosive with the crazy support of the fans, but as time passed and many passers-by came in, the shortcomings of the pure dance nature of a song like "Wolf" became apparent.
If you just listen to the song without matching the stage, the lyrics of this title song are mediocre and the melody is a bit strange. It is not a song that meets the public's taste.
Many people naturally came to listen when they saw such a high ranking, but after hearing it, they found that it was not to their taste at all, and started to complain in the comments. Fans of EXO, and people who like this style or have seen the stage naturally support it.
My idol said all good things.
As a result, comments about "Wolf" began to become polarized:
"Wow, the title song is really good this time, much better than last year."
"I like the concept of wolf boy so much, the stage of the song is also great, the tree of life is really cool, exo fighting!"
"This song is pretty good, but it's not good enough. What I want to hear the most is the one written by Yuan in the news. When can I hear the audio source?"
"What the hell is this song? It's so ugly."
"The fans are so awesome. Such an ugly song ranks so well. Kkkkkkk, the peninsula music industry is over."
"What on earth is this group singing? Why does the chorus say 'Ah woo, ah woo'? The wolf keeps howling. Do you have rabies? Can you sing well?"
"kkkkk Upstairs, I like your speech, but remember to close your private messages."
"…………"
Compared with the positive reviews, there are more dislikes.
In fact, there is nothing we can do about it, after all, the audience groups are different, and the title song is still a pure dance song.
Except for BigBang, all the boy bands in the peninsula have average music performance. It’s good to be on the list. EXO’s music performance this time is already good.
The explosive power of music performance depends on fans, but the long-term success depends on the fans. Not many fans like it, and the effect of fans alone will become smaller and smaller as time goes by.
A few days later, the rankings of all the songs in the album were decreasing on the major charts. On the melon chart, the highest-ranking title song "Wolf" has dropped from second to twenty-fourth, although it occasionally floats upward.
There are a few exceptions, but the overall trend is indeed downward, and the decrease is quite fast.
However, in the past few days, exo's comeback has exceeded the expectations of the company and fans. They have successfully put their name out there and are no longer as transparent as last year. It can be regarded as a successful comeback.
The next step is to see when they can get their first No. 1 singing title.
