471 There is no singer in the world who is more suitable for singing the Olympic theme song than Cao Xuan
Throughout May, Cao Xuan stayed on the set of "Painted Skin" to film the movie, but he was no longer in the world, but his legend still existed in the world.
Several songs from "Legend" are still taking turns to be ranked number one on the Billboard, suppressing all other songs.
The closest ones are Justin Jiabo's chart-topping song and Beyoncé's new album, but the highest rankings are only No. 3 and No. 2.
These two songs were also number one singles in the original time and space, especially Beyoncé's "Irreplaeable", which has dominated the Billboard Hot 100 for 10 consecutive weeks and is considered her masterpiece. However, it is now suppressed by Cao Xuan.
, there is no hope of winning the championship in the short term.
Speaking of Beyoncé, her overall index is still very good. She was born in the super popular girl group "Destiny's Child" in her early years and has made quite a name in the American music scene.
In 2003, the group "Destiny's Child" disbanded. After her solo career, she took her career to the next level and became one of the most popular female singers in the past two years.
At present, Beyoncé's status in the American music scene is basically at the quasi-diva level, and she can even be called a queen. She only needs one more album to consolidate her status.
Under such circumstances, I don’t know if it’s because I am arrogant or because the company behind me is out of my mind and wants to step on Cao Xuan and get the upper hand.
Under the premise that many singers have begun to avoid "Legend" for new songs or albums, Beyoncé actually released a new album in advance, launching an attack when Cao Xuan was at his peak.
In fact, Beyoncé's new album is still very good, threatening "Legend" to a certain extent.
At its peak, it reached No. 2 on the Billboard Album Chart, and also reached No. 2 on the Billboard Singles Chart. Although it was still a long way from "Rolling in the Deep" that won the title at the time, it gave people hope.
But unfortunately, "Irreplaeable" stayed in the second place for 3 weeks. Cao Xuan's top song was changed to another song, but it firmly suppressed Beyoncé.
In the end, Beyoncé's popularity declined, and the song slipped from second to third place. Once the momentum stopped, it would be difficult to gain momentum and move up.
This American quasi-diva did not realize her dream of stepping on Cao Xuan's way to the top. Instead, she became Cao Xuan's stepping stone like many well-known singers such as Sister Niu and Justin.
Beyoncé's fate has also awakened other singers. Many people who are still in the wait-and-see period have begun to officially announce the adjustment of new song schedules.
The Justin mentioned above was originally planning to release an album in the near future, and the good performance of the songs on the charts also gave him confidence.
But seeing how Beyoncé, who had better charts than him, was severely suppressed after her new album was released, she decided to give up.
Without the threat of new songs, "Legend" is becoming more and more comfortable on the Billboard.
Since "Legend" topped the Billboard double chart on Valentine's Day on February 14, until the end of May, for a total of 16 weeks, the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart had not changed its album.
On the other hand, the Billboard 200 Album Chart, because new albums tend to hit the charts in the first week after their release, did not win all the top spots on the album chart during this period, but only held the top position for 12 weeks.
Among them, the number one on the Billboard Singles Chart for 16 weeks is divided into 5 number one singles, and the number of weeks may be longer or shorter.
The song "Monste" is the least popular, with only 1 week.
The most popular song is Adele's classic "Rolling in the Deep", which has won the championship for a total of 7 weeks.
"What are words" ranked second with a total of 4 weeks, "Roar" and "Skin" ranked 2 weeks each.
But when it comes to Cao Xuan, the song that has topped the Billboard singles chart the most is "Sugar".
It has won the championship for 11 consecutive weeks and is ranked No. 1 on the Billboard singles chart.
And the MV of "Sugar" is still the video with the most clicks on the Internet in the United States and even Europe and the United States, even far exceeding the second place. It is still one of the must-have mood songs for many weddings around the world.
This cannot be said to have become a global hit, but to have left the circle and become engraved in our DNA.
Perhaps in a few years, the influence of this song will become more and more ingrained, and this song will come to mind when I think of weddings.
Cao Xuan has released dozens of English albums, but only two have truly reached this level.
One is the wedding song "Sugar", and the other is the 2002 World Cup theme song "Waving Flag".
It ranks among the classic football-themed songs and became popular as soon as the World Cup arrived.
For example, the 2006 World Cup in Germany is about to begin, and Cao Xuan's copyright income from this song has also skyrocketed. It is no exaggeration to say that he has to earn six figures a day, and all he earns is [Dao Le]
.
Cao Xuan wished that it was the World Cup every day. He could not only watch the game, but also make money while lying down...
These two songs, even if the album "Legend" is half the hit, I dare not say which song can be more popular than them.
Although "Rolling in the Deep" is gaining momentum, other songs in the album are sharing the popularity of the album, so it is unlikely that the number of weeks it has won the title will exceed "Sugar"'s 11 weeks.
But even so, with the 16 weeks of "Legend", the 11 weeks of "Sugar", and the 2 weeks of another champion song "Free Loop", Cao Xuan has accumulated 29 weeks of championships.
You know, Michael Jackson only won the championship for 37 weeks. Cao Xuan's "Legend" has not yet passed its peak period, and there is a certain hope of surpassing the opponent.
Perhaps Cao Xuan cannot become the singer with the most No. 1 songs on the Billboard singles chart, but he can become the singer with the most number of weeks No. 1 on the Billboard singles chart.
But it’s not easy, and that’s it for everyone else. Sister Niu, who used to be ranked number one in time and space, has had her number one single on Billboard for 80+ weeks, and her retirement songs are constantly updated every year. Cao Xuan is not even half as good as others.
.
Of course, now that Cao Xuan is there, it’s hard to say whether Sister Niu can reach 80+ weeks of championships. For example, some time ago, her championship single was forcibly overtaken by Cao Xuan.
One goes and the other goes, who knows what will happen in the future!
But no matter what, the first song of "Legend" started to hit the charts in early January, the album was released in mid-February, and it remained popular until the end of May. It has been almost half a year, and there is still no obvious weakening trend.
The sales volume is even more terrifying. The cumulative box office of digital albums and physical records has approached 20 million. It currently maintains the annual sales champion in nearly double-digit countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Singapore.
With this data, the global annual sales champion in 2006 has been stabilized.
Even now, it is not a matter of being the global sales champion, but it is very likely to become the highest-selling album in the 21st century, and even hit the world's pop music sales list.
As of 2006, there were about ten albums released after the new century that ranked ahead of "Legend" in terms of sales.
They are all the pinnacle works of Eminem, Britney, Avril Lavigne, Backstreet Boys, Linkin Park and other singers.
Eminem's "The Slim Shady LP", which ranks first, is officially certified to be around 32 million. Of course, the specific data may vary, but it won't be too much.
It can be said that the top twenty albums in album sales since the new century are basically from around 2000 to 2004, which is also the peak of sales in the music industry.
In the subsequent streaming media era, due to the convenience of the Internet, many things can be fragmented.
Including albums, many fans only buy individual singles. This leads to singers in the streaming media era. Many singers can sell more than 10 million singles, but their overall album sales are obviously inferior to those of these singers at the beginning of the century.
The only one who can break this shackles seems to be Adele.
Her two albums "21" and "25" have accumulated more than 20 million physical and digital albums. Among them, "21" seems to have reached 34 million+, surpassing Eminem and becoming the highest-selling album since the new century.
Cao Xuan's last album "Relea Color" sold almost 20 million copies, ranking thirteenth on the new century sales list.
Moreover, driven by the current "Legend", there is still a certain increase. The following albums are already relatively tight, and they may be expected to enter the top ten in the future.
As for the album "Legend", the sales data is currently just close to the top twenty, but it has strong momentum and amazing potential.
No one thinks that 20 million is a threshold that is difficult for it to cross, and even 25 million is difficult to stop.
Many people in the industry even directly concluded that "Legend" will become another album with sales exceeding 30 million.
In the current market trend where physical albums and digital music are merging and alternating, and album sales are declining, "Legend" may become the last glory of pop music album sales.
When "Legend" hit the Billboard charts, everyone was shocked, shocked, and shocked, but they still didn't fully realize the full power of this album.
As time goes by, "Legend"'s results are getting better and better, its influence is growing, and it continues to refresh various records and achievements.
Only a lot of people have realized how powerful this phenomenal album is.
Some professionals believe that if "Legend" was not in the decline period of the record market, but was placed in the golden period of the market in the last century, and the singer was not Chinese, the sales volume of this album is likely to become the top five or even the top three.
exist.
This is just an afterthought. If "Legend" had appeared in the golden period of the market, facing those big guys from the last century, its results might not have been as impressive as it is now.
There are not so many ifs in the world. Regardless of whether the ending is good or bad, the appearance of "Legend" in 2006 is an unchangeable fact.
Cao Xuan has finally come to the era of smart phones and mobile phones, because he doesn’t want to play Big Brother in the last century anymore...
It is also worth mentioning that the sales volume of "Legend" is approaching 20 million, making Cao Xuan's total personal sales successfully exceed 85 million+ copies.
Among them, "Relea Color" has sold almost 20 million copies, and the first English EP album of the same name has sold more than 10 million copies. The cumulative sales of the three English albums alone are almost 50 million copies.
Cao Xuan has a total of six Chinese albums, with a cumulative total of almost 35 million+.
After all, "Bright Stars" alone has exceeded 10 million copies, and "Stars Dotted" and "Stars Glitter" have each exceeded 5 million copies.
The 20 million+ genuine sales of the Stars Trilogy were officially certified by the International Phonographic Association and are still a peak in the Chinese music world that countless people look up to.
Cao Xuan himself has also been certified by multiple Guinness World Records regarding album sales, such as the Chinese singer with the highest album sales, the Asian singer with the highest album sales, the singer with the highest Chinese album sales, etc.
Cao Xuan didn't remember it specifically. There are more than a dozen world records scattered here and there, basically all of them are world records in the Chinese music world and the Asian music world.
Although there are also world records in the international music scene, they all have an Asian or Chinese prefix added to them.
The reason why Cao Xuan certified this Guinness World Record was mainly to follow the company's arrangements and further consolidate his position in the music industry. After all, the Guinness World Records are still very bluffing.
This is normal in the entertainment industry. Zhang Tianwang, Guo Tianwang, Cheng Long, Liu Tianwang, and Wang Fei have all interacted with Guinness World Records.
There are also many foreign stars. For example, Michael Jackson personally went to London, England in 2005 to participate in the certification of Guinness World Records.
Celebrities have world records as staged achievements, a gimmick for hype, and to consolidate their celebrity status. The Guinness World Records are also influenced by the spread of celebrities, and both parties benefit from each other.
Cao Xuan is not very interested in Guinness World Records. Apart from chatting about a few, the rest are useless and are recorded for the sake of records.
In terms of record sales, what he really values is the official certification from the International Phonographic Association.
With sales of 85 million+, he is only one step away from joining the billion-level club.
If you're lucky, the album "Legend" will be enough. If you're not lucky, your next album will definitely make it.
As for the singers and groups that can be certified by the International Phonographic Association to sell hundreds of millions of albums, they can be counted on two hands, and most of them are ancient gods.
If Cao Xuan can be ranked among them, according to Westerners, he can be called a "great singer".
The "great" King Cao Tian is now regarded as a peerless genius by countless people around the world, not to mention in Asia.
Cao Xuan even strongly suspected that if he died young and died at the peak of his current life, he would probably be directly promoted to a god and be looked up to and admired by countless newcomers. Michael Jackson would probably be ranked behind him.
After all, Michael Jackson is almost 50, and Cao Xuan is only 30 years old. Youth means unlimited possibilities.
Frankly speaking, King Cao Tianwang was tempted for a moment, but he soon came to his senses.
It's good to be a living legend. I have two wives and tens of billions of assets without any excitement...
The popularity of "Legend" has made Cao Xuan's status rise steadily, and he has become one of the most popular singers in the world. He can even be temporarily removed from the list.
The huge popularity made Cao Xuan even more popular.
Cao Xuan is constantly receiving invitations from top variety shows, interviews and events in the United States and Europe.
Not to mention in China, Chen Luyu from [Really, I don’t believe it] sent emails eight times a day. He even went to Fanxing Building to make an invitation, but he was still declined.
The album is still hanging on the bulletin board, so Cao Xuan is not particularly keen on consolidating its popularity.
The main reason is that his traffic is now high and all parties are watching. Cao Xuan is afraid of being dug up, so he plans to keep a low profile and postpones many interviews on the pretext of filming.
There are also some that are not recommended, such as "Focus Interview".
This program, which has always been monitored by public opinion, also conducted an exclusive interview with Cao Xuan. Although the entry point is still the broad and international perspective of the collision between Chinese artists and the world, it is still suspected of being a bit popular.
However, the report was still very positive. Cao Xuan contacted an acquaintance at CCTV and it was said that it was the topic he was asked to do.
With the Olympic Games coming soon, Cao Xuan has made such great achievements and is more and more proud of the country. Naturally, he also has other resources to support him.
It is precisely because of this that Cao Xuan decided to keep a low profile and gave many interviews.
After all, he doesn’t know whether these external media are friends or enemies. They may use this to dig holes for him and take quotes out of context to smear the Olympics or the country. Therefore, it is better to say less and make fewer mistakes, and be safe first.
There is also an invitation from the German World Cup Organizing Committee to attend the opening ceremony and finals.
Cao Xuan didn't have time to go to the opening ceremony and planned to go to Germany to watch the final. Although he already had the ending in mind, as a fan, it was still difficult to bear the temptation of attending the World Cup final in person.
I don’t know if Zidane likes his own songs, otherwise if he grabs the off-field jersey, it will be a real masterpiece of his career.
It's worth every headbutt...
Kaká’s final jersey from the 2002 World Cup final is Cao Xuan’s best football collection so far, and as Kaká becomes famous, he becomes more and more awesome.
Even the last time he fooled Cristiano Ronaldo and promised to give him a hat-trick game ball, he had to be ranked behind. After all, Cristiano Ronaldo has many hat-tricks, and Kaka only has one World Cup final.
If it were the ball used in Ronaldo's Manchester United hat-trick game, it might be possible to give it a try.
After all, Ronaldo has completed two hat tricks at Manchester United, one of which was in 2022.
But even if you can't get Zidane's jersey, it's good to get a few other signed jerseys. Later, when you have nothing to do, you can start a live broadcast on the Internet to share your collection, and keep the envious fans howling.
In addition, there is an invitation, which cannot be said to be an invitation. It should be said that it is to go to the official in person to receive a certification.
National first-class actor!
To be precise, there is no word [national], it is just a professional and technical title. The reason why it can be named [national] is because it can receive subsidies from the XX Academy.
The money is not much, but it is an official recognition and belongs to the country's high-level professional and technical talents in the literary and art circles.
At present, many Xiangjiang actors such as Wang Fei and Cheng Long have not been certified. Cao Xuan can apply because he is a mainland literary and art worker.
It is worth mentioning that Cao Xuan originally had to wait for two years to be rated as a first-class actor. The reason why he got it in advance this time was because of his outstanding contributions.
This outstanding contribution is not about killing all parties in the world. Of course, there are some reasons for this. Cao Xuan's information has an explanation of this point.
But the real core is that Cao Xuan himself participated in major events of the Beijing Olympics and made outstanding contributions.
Not only does he serve as the artistic advisor to the expert committee, he is also the publicity and promotion ambassador for the Beijing Olympics.
"Beijing Welcomes You" he composed for the Olympic Games was officially selected as the main promotional song by the Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee, and another song entered the final selection stage of the Olympic theme song.
At the same time, although it has not been officially confirmed and announced, it has basically been confirmed that Cao Xuan is the singer of the Olympic theme song.
Let's put it this way, one of the tasks of the director team led by Lao Mouzi is to design a program specifically around Cao Xuan and the Olympic theme song.
This is the lineup of the world's top stars!
The leaders of the Olympic organizing committee are actually quite happy. Before, they were thinking that their own artists were not important enough, so they were thinking about inviting top singers from other countries to help out.
Now there is no need to worry, Cao Xuan is the world's top king, and he is a native of China. There is no singer in the world who is more suitable to sing the Olympic theme song than him...
ps: Friendly recommendation of the book "My father is Yuan Shu? But I want to be a thief of Cao". Although Wei Wu died, "Wei Wu's legacy" will last forever
