But it seems there is something even more terrifying.
According to the single-week sales of the "Baby" album counted by Barnes & Noble Bookstore in North America, in dozens of representative cities across the United States, the single-week sales of "Baby" have reached a terrifying 1.77 million copies!
Moreover, the sales of this album are still increasing. At the end of this week, the sales figures created by "Baby" will continue to increase.
What does the data of 1.77 million copies sold in a single week mean in the United States?
Last year, one of the most influential groups in the United States, Superboy's "n-tring-attahed" sold a total of 2,416,000 copies in its first week in the United States, breaking the global single-week record
The album sales record has never been surpassed so far.
This cannot be achieved in the domestic market environment, and with the increase in mp3 users and online download users, the beautiful scene of album sales exceeding one million in a single week is gradually disappearing, which cannot be created by non-super first-line singers.
Li Qing was able to achieve 1.77 million album sales in this market environment, which is a great encouragement to the entire European and American music scene.
Of course, all current sales records in the U.S. record market are after the launch of the Nielsen sales statistics system in 1991. Before 1991, there was no scientifically accurate organization to count the specific sales of albums and singles in the U.S. record market within a week.
.
But at least, after 1991, in the weekly sales ranking of new albums by all singers in the United States, Li Qing's "Baby" has advanced into the top ten, ranking ninth.
This is something even Taylor Macefield, who exploded onto the scene last year, couldn't do.
This news immediately detonated the American music scene. Many local singers exclaimed, "The wolf is coming, and it's the Chinese wolf!"
In the British pop music album chart, Li Qing's new album has achieved continuous success, setting a new record for the best single-week sales on the chart since the new century.
According to statistics, in the first 72 hours of its release, the album "Baby" has sold 518,000 copies in the UK, an average of 7,000 copies per hour, which is equivalent to about two copies sold every second.
album.
So far, the best weekly album sales record in the British record market is currently held by the British super group "Blue Cat". Their 1997 classic album "This Is Now" was released within the first week of its release in August 1997.
, it sold an impressive 700,000 copies.
Naturally, Li Qing cannot be compared with the "Blue Cat Band". After all, the latter has been in the British music scene for nearly ten years, and its influence in the UK is unparalleled. However, as an outsider and a newcomer to the music scene, Li Qing's record is disappointing.
All British citizens applauded, and many singers in the local music scene publicly supported the album "Baby" and called on fans to listen to the classic songs in this album.
It can be said that British citizens have the greatest enthusiasm for Li Qing. On many local public opinion websites, fans are calling on the government to accept Li Qing as a British citizen and award Li Qing various honors and contribution medals. After all, in the
In a country where chivalry is prevalent, the more knight medals, the higher the person's status and honor.
The reason why public opinion has become popular is because in "Harry Potter", people can clearly detect that Li Qing is too proficient in the local British culture. If you are not a typical British fan, you can't write such a British style.
It can be seen from this that Li Qing is full of yearning for the British style.
Li Qing said that I will not take the blame.
At the same time, the influence of "Harry Potter" in the UK is also extremely terrifying. This influence has even extended to the whole world. In London, England alone, in the past two years, due to the publication of "Harry Potter"
Since its establishment, the financial growth of its tourism industry has exceeded 30%, increasing its market performance by nearly 8 billion pounds compared with previous years, and this number is still growing.
It can be imagined that after the movie "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" is released, London, England, will usher in a tourism explosion period.
In addition, among the countries where the new album is released, Li Qing's new album's single-week sales have also reached extremely terrifying figures, and its sales ranking in the local country is also among the best.
Li Qing's songs are also very popular in Canada, Switzerland, Denmark and other places. Among them, "y-are-nt-alne" is the most requested song in these countries, followed by "baby", "be-hat"
-y-anna-be" and "gar".
The MV of "gar" is loved by fans in many countries. In many music magazines, "gar" became the favorite song MV of fans in January. The MV tells the story of an idol suddenly appearing at his wedding and singing for the newlyweds.
The scene of the love song is deeply loved by the audience.
However, compared to the impressive results achieved in Europe and the United States, Li Qing's new album has been somewhat ignored in countries such as Southeast Asia.
In South Korea, Li Qing's "Baby" was also on the market, but it didn't make it into the top ten sales charts. In Thailand, some video stores don't even have the album "Baby", while Japan, Malaysia and other places are slightly better.
In some places, at least in many video stores, you can still hear the singing of "y-are-nt-alne".
This is probably because Barnes & Noble bookstores have less presence in Southeast Asia, unlike Europe and the United States, which have hundreds of stores. Therefore, the sales volume of "Baby" in Southeast Asia that week was very sluggish.
This situation has even affected the country. Although Hanhai has cooperated with Music Supermarket in distribution, because it is an English album, the sales volume of "Baby" is not as good as the previous "Li Qing" and "Descendants of the Dragon". But even so,
Li Qing's weekly sales in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Mainland China also crushed all opponents and ranked first.
"Asia's sense of fashion has always been slow."
In the minutes of a meeting, agent Ronald explained: "In Asia, Japan and South Korea are the trendsetters in the fashion industry. If Japan and South Korea are not popular, then the entire Asian market will basically be GG."
"The Asian market is not our first priority. Since it is an English album, the focus is naturally on Europe and the United States," Liu Qin said.
"Miss Liu, I haven't finished speaking yet."
Ronald laughed: "The pop trends in Japan and South Korea have always been based on the United States. Many singers have not even paid attention to the Asian market. Why? Because even if the singers do not promote it, as long as their works become popular in the United States, then
Basically, in the coming time, Asian countries will also rush to introduce it and promote it voluntarily."
""Baby" has just appeared on the Billboard chart, and its performance has been amazing, ranking first on the singles chart and album chart. So I am sure that next week, the sales of "Baby" will definitely cause a chain reaction, not only in Europe and the United States, but also in Europe and the United States.
A more outstanding record will also be achieved in Asia, even beyond our imagination. After all, Leein himself is an Asian, and in Asia, he is still a super invincible handsome man..."
Ronald is a super agent who has been in the European and American music circles for ten years. He is very familiar with some of the hidden rules in the industry. Although Liu Qin was suspicious, she was not responsible for running this album, so she didn't say anything more.
Time flies by very quickly, and the third week has passed by in a blink of an eye. In the Billboard magazine last week, nine of Li Qing's fifteen songs were on the singles chart TP10, and only one song by the top British group "
Blue Cat Band's "lve-ith-y" is still struggling at the bottom of the list.
On the album chart, Li Qing's "Baby" once again topped the list, sweeping across Europe and the United States.
As Ronald said, when Li Qing's new album and songs both appeared on the Billboard charts, many Asian pop people who paid attention to the European and American music circles expressed their concern for these songs, so in the third week, "baby"
》Sales in Southeast Asia surged suddenly and were out of control.
The name Leein began to spread rapidly around the world like a virus. Leein himself also appeared on the cover of the American "People" magazine and was purchased crazily by fans.
"People" is one of the most accurately positioned and effective magazines in the world, focusing on the world's mainstream figures. It not only has a large number of exclusive celebrity news photos, but also in-depth celebrity interviews.
However, because Li Qing was too busy, he did not have the opportunity to be interviewed face-to-face by People magazine, so he adopted a telephone Q&A method.
On the phone, Li Qing answered many creative questions and also used People magazine to promote the release of the movie "The Truman Show."
So when "People" magazine was published, its huge sales made "The Truman Show" immediately become the target of many readers' attention, so that in the next period of time, there were fewer and fewer scheduled films in European and American countries, and it suddenly appeared
There has been a small increase, and because the attendance rate remains high and the reputation is surprisingly good, many theaters are very willing to give this film more screenings.
At the same time, although the box office of "Arhat, the Dragon" released by Wasp Culture is getting higher and higher in the mainland, many of the jokes in the movie cannot be understood by foreigners abroad. This has led to the original failure due to the special effects and Chinese kung fu.
However, the initial box office performance, which was quite impressive, became increasingly sluggish. Two weeks later, the film schedule of "Arhat" became less and less. In many theaters in Europe and the United States, it was even on the verge of being canceled.
As the saying goes, "The Truman Show" is getting better and better at the box office because of Li Qing's participation and the spread of word-of-mouth. It can be said that it is catching up from behind. Even compared with some local films, the upward trend in box office is not successful.
Give more.
This also coincides with the popularity of Li Qing in the European and American music circles, so in some theaters and exhibitors, they all added words such as "Billboard Singles Chart, Album Chart Number One", "
"Baby", "Singer of Gar" and other words are trying to attract more and more viewers to pay attention to this film.
And this method is obviously very effective. "The Truman Show", which was originally unknown due to various reasons such as poor publicity, instantly entered the eyes of movie fans.
With the attitude of giving it a try, many people walked into the screening room of "The Truman Show" two weeks after its release.
