The "Eight Dimensions of Space" album was launched online within 24 hours. Counting pre-sales and physical albums, a total of 3.96 million copies were sold.
"Jay" has sold 1.75 million copies so far. After the release of "Eight Dimensions of Space", the sales journey of "Jay" on all platforms has officially come to an end. Fans who did not spend money to buy the album can finally buy it without paying any money.
You can listen to this album on QQ Music.
Of course, for a popular singer like Li Hyuk, how can QQ Music allow listeners to listen to songs for free? "Jay" has been added to the VIP music library. If you want to listen to it, you have to spend money. If you don't want to pay more than ten yuan a month for VIP, then there is no need.
There's a solution.
After the sales tour, "Jay" sold a total of 1.75 million copies. According to current industry standards, this album has reached the standard of a platinum record.
According to the standards of the National Recording Industry Association, a sales volume of 500,000 is a gold record, and a sales volume of 1 million is a platinum record. Note that those EP and single releases will not be counted, and even if they are calculated, they need to be converted.
For example, Yuan Hua's single "Just Because You're So Beautiful", which sold 30 million units, sold less than 100,000 albums according to standards.
Nowadays, only a few singers such as Li Hyuk can achieve platinum sales. Going back to the 1990s, you can only find diamond records.
Diamond record sales means that a single album sells more than 10 million copies. Only two Chinese singers can reach this number.
"Kiss Goodbye" by the singer Jacky Cheung, and the first-generation sweet girl Teresa Teng...
In the past two years, Lee Hyuk is the only singer who has achieved platinum sales in a row. The first album "Girls in the Bloom" by his company's band Guns N' Roses has sold 1.3 million copies and also achieved platinum sales.
There is also SHE, which has become the top girl group in the Chinese pop music scene. "Girls Dormitory" has sold more than 1.5 million copies so far, and it is still accumulating. It seems that surpassing the sales of Li Hyuk's first album will not be a problem.
As for Cosmic Girls, a street-beating girl group, who still remembers...
However, none of these albums can compare to Lee Hyuk's epoch-making album "Fantasy" that made him king. Since its release in November last year, as of July 15th, the album "Fantasy" has already
Achieved seven platinum sales, with a total of 7.14 million copies.
Although there is still less than 3 million to reach diamond record sales, "Fantasy" has already reached its peak, and it is difficult to have room for improvement in sales.
These albums need to be certified by the recording association. On July 16, the International Recording Association China Regional Recording Association announced on Weibo that "Jay", "Fantasy", "Girls", "Girls"
The four albums of "Dorm" received sales certification.
Fantasy Records also posted the certification certificate on Weibo, attracting onlookers and blessings from netizens.
Passing the certification means that your album sales data are authentic and not fraudulent, and have been recognized by the international record industry.
This recognition is different from the self-pleasure of Xiaoxianrou fans. It is recognized by the industry. To a certain extent, the certification of record sales is even more important than the Golden Melody Award for Best Male Singer.
Li Hyuk no longer needs to prove his talent or the commercial profitability of his records. He is one of the few singers whose records can make money. Even if he does not participate in variety shows to maintain his popularity, he still has the support of a large number of fans.
It is said that the recently aired program "Tomorrow's Son" caused a lot of controversy, mainly because there was a very special contestant. This contestant was a virtual idol, a two-dimensional character, and also participated in the program.
As a result, the three star promoters had different opinions on this virtual idol. Xue Zhiqian believed that this virtual idol written by a program was not qualified to participate in the program.
The big power believes that since its existence is reasonable and some people like it, it has the value of existence.
So Li Hyuk became a victim of the middle. On the one hand, Xue Zhiqian put forward a theory of talent: "I am not against a virtual idol written by a computer program, but the problem is that it has no surprises.
If you came out today and sang "Lovely Woman" or "Love in BC", you would explode, you know?
But there are no surprises, and that's your biggest problem."
Da Mimi has a different opinion: "I think since Hertz is loved by so many fans, it has a reason for its existence. What do you think, Li He?"
Li He touched his chin and said: "I have always emphasized that aesthetics is a very subjective matter. Hertz is a two-dimensional idol. Many otakus also like two-dimensional handsome guys and beauties. This is not surprising.
But that’s just a world active in the second dimension. Breaking the dimensional wall and coming out may not bring surprises, but shocks.”
Li He did not support Xue Zhiqian, nor did he support the big power. He just made a reasonable analysis.
In this episode of the program, Hertz was promoted, and Xue Zhiqian threw the microphone angrily and left the show, successfully putting himself and the program team on the hot search.
As the only virtual idol in the talent show "Tomorrow's Son", Hertz's promotion journey has been accompanied by many controversies. Many viewers believe that it is unfair for two-dimensional contestants to compete with real contestants.
This incident of throwing the microphone has pushed Hertz to the forefront of public opinion. Even after the show was broadcast, some viewers shouted that Hertz's continuous promotion was the biggest scandal of the show.
In fact, it is not that there are no popular virtual idols in China. Luo Tianyi and Hatsune Miku are both representatives of virtual two-dimensional idols. They can even hold concerts and are sought after by fans.
But those two virtual idols are so popular, why did Hertz, who was promoted in Penguin's "Tomorrow's Children", cause so much controversy and even disgusted many viewers?
It's not like the program team didn't analyze it afterward, and the reason they finally concluded was that Hertz looked too human.
It doesn't sound bad, does it sound like a human being? But the original meaning of virtual idols being sought after by people is to meet people's needs and achieve things that people can't achieve.
Since participating in the competition, the number of Hertz fans has skyrocketed, reaching over one million fans.
However, it was not only fans who accompanied Hertz all the way up the ranks, but also constant voices of doubt. Since Hertz is a virtual character, he seemed a little out of place in the all-real-person "Children of Tomorrow".
Many viewers believe that Hertz's singing songs are all recorded in advance, and every competition is a perfect performance. This is very unfair to the real contestants competing on the same stage.
Some viewers even complained: "This is like a horse race where a BMW suddenly appears to compete."
It is precisely because of this that Xue Zhiqian got angry. During the one-on-one match between Hertz and Zhao Tianyu, Xue Zhiqian bombarded the program team and hinted that he should vote for Hertz and not let Hertz lose too ugly.
As a result, because of this vote, the real contestant Zhao Tianyu lost to Hertz, and Xue Zhiqian threw the microphone in anger, causing a half-hour live broadcast accident.
Some viewers thought that Joker Xue was pretending to be angry to hype up the topic, but more viewers pointed the finger at the program team, believing that "Tomorrow's Son" had a shady story and was trying to guarantee Hertz's promotion.
Soon, some angry viewers flooded into Hertz's Weibo, scolding Hertz for being a shady person in the show, and even asked Hertz to get out of "Tomorrow's Sons".
But Hertz still goes his own way and continues to be in the top ten of the player popularity list.
In fact, China's two-dimensional cultural foundation is far inferior to that of the island country next door. "Tomorrow's Son", as a multi-circle idol talent show, also considers the two-dimensional audience.
However, the program team obviously overestimated the impact of two-dimensional idols and real-person contestants competing together, which also caused the program team to continue to be questioned.
However, the program team feels lucky that "Tomorrow's Son" has given birth to a contestant who is very popular in the industry.
He is not handsome, but he can write songs. His lyrics touch people's hearts. He looks plump and cute with glasses.
Mao Buyi was Li Hyuk’s only performer in his career. Ever since his breakout song "Xiaochou", he became popular all over the country.
How popular is it? So popular that when this song came out, even though he had such an outstanding son as Li He, Li Xuexin actually said that Mao Buyi is better than Li He.
Although Li Xuexin later changed his tune, it also proved that this contestant had conquered Li Xuexin. Even if he didn't watch the show, he still knew the song.
