"Tik-tok" is a single album, so it is naturally much cheaper than an album.
In the United States, the single album is priced at US$1.29, while the official album is priced at US$13.
Of course, due to various reasons such as transportation, customs or local operators, the pricing of an album in European and American countries is also very different.
For example, in Australia, the price of a single album is as high as 2.19 US dollars, and the official album is as high as 21.9 US dollars.
This is just a regular album, because in addition, most popular singers will also publish deluxe edition albums, which are generally priced at $23.9.
"Tik-tok", which is sold at a price of US$1.29, has been snapped up by many people as soon as it went online. In the Barnes and Noble bookstore, some records are regularly updated here every week, so this place is often gathered by album collectors.

For new albums, Barnes & Noble will not sell them at a discount. This is stipulated in the contract. However, if the sales time exceeds two months, or if it cannot be sold anymore, then Barnes & Noble will offer a discount to the album or book.

On the first day "Tik-tok" was launched, it became one of the favorite electronic music songs of current American youths with its cheerful and passionate rhythm. And because BGM was willing to spend a lot of money, this led to almost every radio station in the United States on all continents.
The song "tik-tok" will appear every few hours, which invisibly increases the impression of this song on many people.
When Li Qing was browsing the Internet, he saw someone posting something on a Hong Kong online forum, which made him burst into laughter.
"Help me online. What is that ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong song that American radio stations often play now?"
There is indeed a section of Taylor singing "oah-oh-oh-oh" in "Tik-tok". This kind of rhythmic passage can easily become the best memory point in people's minds.
Under the post, a Hong Kong Chinese in the United States also explained: "Is it "Tik-tok"? American electronic music queen Taylor Mesfield's new song, Taylor's previous "Faded" is also very good, by the way,
I heard that both songs were written by Li Qing?"
"No, I read the lyrics of "Tik-tok" and I was so excited. Li Qing seems to have never written similar songs before, right?"
"Li Qing used to write Chinese songs. Chinese songs are subtle and restrained, but English songs are different. They can be as wild as they want. Foreigners like this!"
"Li Qing really writes songs about everyone! He's a weirdo!"
"So, Taylor and Li Qing know each other? Li Qing's songs are not cheap."
"Taylor seems to be from Li Qing Company, but she doesn't seem to be. Information checked online shows that she is affiliated with BGM Entertainment in the United States. What the hell is BGM? I've never heard of it, it's just a small company!"
The spread of "tik-tok" is not only in the United States, but also in the United Kingdom, France, and Italy. Many radio stations are playing this song on a loop.
The United States is the economic center of the world, and its radio stations are almost full of singers from all over Europe, the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Italy and other countries. When preparing for Billboard charts, they will also chart on American radio stations as soon as possible.
However, American singers generally do not go to the UK, Australia and other places to chart, because their own three major radio stations are enough to be self-sufficient.
However, Taylor is not in this category.
In the past few days, she has not only charted on the three major radio stations in the United States, but also traveled to other countries, such as Australia, Italy and other places to chart on local radio stations.
The language spoken in these countries is English, and Taylor does not have any communication difficulties.
Moreover, the cost of advertising in these places is much lower than that of the three major radio stations in the United States.
Taylor's frequent chart hits have also made "tik-tok" popular in Europe and the United States, and even in Asia.
In major nightclubs in Asia, "tik-tok" songs can be heard from time to time. Even in Hong Kong and Taiwan, there are people playing "tik-tok" in shopping malls.
Only Japan and South Korea, which admire the American music scene, regard "tik-tok" as a divine song, and many local artists are already learning this song.
This scene is very similar to when "Faded" became popular, but it is even more fierce. "Faded" took two weeks of brewing, coupled with the promotion of the concert in Times Square in the United States, to reach its current height and climb to the announcement
Among the card lists.
But "tik-tok" is different. People who stand on the front line of pop music usually pay attention to the dynamics of the American music scene. This kind of song has powerful brainwashing ability and even caused a listening frenzy across the United States, making all musicians believe that it
There will definitely be a more impressive result than "faded".
As expected.
A week later, the new Billboard chart was announced.
"Tik-tok" surged to the top of the Billboard charts with lightning speed.
When they saw that the first place was "tik-tok", everyone's jaw dropped in surprise.
Sony in the United States gritted its teeth even more. They had offered Taylor a contract of US$10 million or even US$12 million, but they were all rejected without exception.
Such a high price has caused considerable controversy within Sony Records, who believe the price is too high.
But now, Taylor has once again proven her worth, making all those who look down on her automatically shut up.
The single reached the top of the Billboard charts in the first week after its release...
This kind of powerful appeal is almost comparable to that of first-tier European and American superstars.
Among the top ten positions on the Billboard, "Faded" finally dropped out of the top five after two months and is currently ranked seventh.
Sales details released by Billboard magazine show that more than 80 million people across Europe and the United States have listened to "Tik-tok" in the last week.
The United States alone has more than 30 million people.
In terms of album sales, "Tik-tok" has sold 100,000 albums and more than 79,000 in the United States, approaching 80,000!
As for other countries, there is no detailed data because there is no large-scale distribution.
Based on the price of $1.29, "tik-tok" has grossed $1.03 million in the United States in just one week.
You know, this is still a performance that has not been promoted by the Billboard charts, it is just the effect of radio charts.
Today, "tik-tok" has successfully topped the list of the Billboard, attracting attention in more than ten countries in Europe and the United States.
And the performance of this single album in the second week will definitely be even more amazing.
Although the popularity of "Tik-tok" is reasonable, it also relaxed the mood that BGM Company had been worried about.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and smiled in victory.
But it didn’t take long for the smile to be disrupted by the busy orders.
Almost at the same time that "Tik-Tok" appeared on the Billboard chart, BGM's contact number was flooded with calls.
Distributors from the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and even New Zealand couldn't wait to call BGM and request album distribution.
This sudden happiness caught bgm a little unprepared.
General manager Victor was sweating profusely. With the funds given by Zhou Shu, he started looking for workers to work overtime.
At the same time, BGM's factory production line once again expanded.
From the original three production lines, it suddenly expanded to eight!
Nearly 50,000 copies of the "tik-tok" single album were produced almost overnight. After the quality inspection was completed, they were quickly packaged and shipped to various parts of Europe and the United States via airplane flights according to the order details.
The busy production line of the BGM factory, urged by the massive orders, seems to be tireless and begins to operate alternately day and night. ——
