Beyonce's new album contains a total of 15 songs, including two title songs, both of which were written for her by Chen Feng.
On January 28, as soon as it was released, it topped the world's major record sales charts.
It achieved global single-day sales of 1.82 million copies, breaking Tina's previous single-day sales record of 1.8 million copies. This is undoubtedly not good news for Tina.
The two title songs "if i were a boy" and "listen" have also appeared on music charts in various countries around the world. In the United States, these two songs also quickly climbed onto the Billboard charts.
First it ranked first on the album chart, then "Listen" topped the singles chart, and "If I Were a Boy" ranked second.
Beyoncé is in the spotlight for a while.
This undoubtedly put a lot of pressure on Tina.
Because in the blink of an eye, the next day, January 29, Tina’s new album was also released.
Previously, no one expected that Beyoncé would suddenly explode in popularity due to a tweet and some gossip about NBA stars before the two albums were released, and she would go out of the industry and abroad.
The previous national gossip was equivalent to giving Beyoncé free global publicity a few days in advance.
Therefore, as soon as Beyoncé's new album came out, it exploded with her popularity. It directly broke the single-day record sales record set by Tina just last year.
Tina felt stressed and depressed at the same time.
In fact, Chen Feng was quite depressed in his heart. Even though Beyoncé was the biological mother of his daughter, it was hard not to feel depressed when he and Tina had their popularity completely taken away by her.
It feels like him and Tina's appearance on the late night show was completely a preparation for Beyoncé's wedding.
Unfortunately, he can't say anything about Beyoncé yet, because people are scolding and supporting him on Twitter because of his self-destructive image.
In addition, because of the influence of the gossip news, Miranda hurriedly ended her trip to Europe and returned home. She has been having a little tantrum with him these days and has to coax her in different ways every day. In addition, the popularity of this gossip is also
It has not passed, and now he is also the target of the paparazzi, so his trip to Silicon Valley can only be postponed.
Before Android phones are officially put into production and sale, Chen Feng, the boss of Android phones behind the scenes, still hopes to keep a low profile as much as possible.
To avoid running into Apple early, problems may arise and affect the launch and sales of Android phones.
Therefore, he cannot bring these paparazzi reporters to the Android company in Silicon Valley.
This made Chen Feng feel a little uncomfortable these past few days.
On this day, Tina's new album was officially released, and Chen Feng received a call from Tina early in the morning.
"Boss, do you think I can break Beyoncé's new record today?"
Although Tina was under great pressure, she still hoped that she could step back after being stepped on by Tina.
But to be honest, the single-day sales record of 1.82 million copies is not that easy to break.
Therefore, Chen Feng said as tactfully as possible: "A single-day sales record is nothing. The most important thing is the first-week sales record and the final sales record. I believe that you will not be worse than her in these two records."
After listening to Chen Feng's words, Tina's confidence did not increase much. She said with a worried look: "Her momentum is too strong now. Her popularity due to that tweet has not subsided, plus you have given her
The two songs she wrote are really good, and now I'm following her... I don't know if I can beat her in the end."
"It's no use worrying about this now. The two songs I gave Beyoncé are good, but the four songs I gave you are not bad either. Especially the song we sang together, believe me, it will definitely create history."
Chen Feng is very confident about "Love the Way You Lie". After all, this song has been proven in the original time and space, so there is no reason why it can't work in this time and space with the same cultural background.
In fact, this song has an amazing number of plays online, and many music fans are discussing it.
After hearing what Chen Feng said, Tina regained some confidence and encouraged herself: "You are right. This song is indeed very popular now, and it is even praised on the Internet. I believe this song can
Drive sales of my album."
"As long as you have confidence. It's time for a handover, and confidence is the most important thing. In other aspects, let the company increase its publicity efforts. In addition, you can discuss with Lisa and Teralon and arrange some signings.
Yes. However, you don’t have to start today, you can wait two days and then look at it.”
"Well, I've already told Lisa. You can arrange more signings for me. Beyoncé has started global album promotion today, and her first stop is New York."
"Oh, she's going on a promotional tour so soon?"
"Yes. The media has already reported it. She is really trying her best. It seems that she must trample me under her feet and step on my corpse to get to the top."
Chen Feng was speechless when he heard this, and comforted him: "Don't speak so scaryly. What's wrong with corpses? I've told you before that there won't be any losers in this competition between the two of you, not to mention that you may not.
If you lose to her, just relax, maintain your physical condition, and start global promotion in two days."
"Yeah. I understand."
…
Facts have proved that Tina's worries are not unreasonable. Her new album sold 1.75 million copies on the first day, which is not as good as Beyoncé and 50,000 fewer than her last album.
This made Tina feel very bad, and she immediately expressed her intention to start publicity work. She would first start in Los Angeles, participating in TV and radio programs, and also conducting book signings.
So, it seems that the hard work paid off, and the album sales volume came out the next day, which was 1.78 million copies. Tina's album sales actually increased in reverse.
Although this situation often occurs in the record market, sales are usually not good at the beginning, and then sales start to increase with the increase in publicity or sudden popularity, or sales rebound after falling to a critical point. Like
This kind of situation where 1.75 million copies were sold at the beginning, and then tens of thousands more copies were sold on the second day than on the first day, has never happened in history.
What's more important is that if we only count the total record sales in the first two days, Tina finally overtook Beyoncé.
Beyoncé's record sales were very strong on the first day, but naturally dropped by more than 200,000 on the second day compared to the previous day. The result was naturally not as good as Tina's.
On the third day, Tina's record sales finally dropped compared to the previous two days, but only by a few hundred thousand.
On the fourth day, the number dropped by more than 600,000.
…
A week later, Tina's new album sold 8.25 million copies in its first week.
The day before, the global sales of Beyoncé's new album were announced, with 7.8 million copies.
In other words, in the first week of the record war, Tina came from behind and agreed to the sales war. This somewhat exceeded everyone's expectations.
After all, Beyoncé's momentum was really strong at the beginning, and the quality of the songs in the album was also very good, especially the two songs written by Chen Feng, which had a wide audience, high recognition, and were very popular with the public.
The total sales of the two in the first five days were almost the same, but in the next two days, Beyoncé's record sales dropped sharply, while Tina remained relatively stable, and she was killed in the end.
In fact, before the first-week sales of their albums are released, the competition between the two on the Billboard charts is the most interesting thing.
On the first day that Tina's new album was released, four songs tailor-made for her by Chen Feng were all on the top 20 charts, and two of the title songs, "Love the Way You Lie" and "Diamond", even topped the charts.
Top ten.
"Love the Way You Lie" went straight to the runner-up position, knocking out "If I Were a Boy". "Diamond" ranked fifth.
After the list was updated in the second week, "Love the Way You Lie" undoubtedly topped the list, knocking "Listen" out of the top spot.
In terms of quality and connotation of these two songs, "Listen" is undoubtedly the winner.
However, "Love the Way You Lie" is so popular that it becomes more and more addictive the more you listen to it. Tina's crisp opening and the rhythm and power of Chen Feng's rap make people listen to it for the first time.
, I just want to listen to it n times again, it’s so magical.
It can be said that the main reason why many people bought Tina's new album is this song.
Many of these people didn't listen to hip-hop music before, or even bought Tina's album, but this time they all bought it because they love this song so much.
This is also the reason why the sales volume of Tina's new album has always been relatively strong, because people who originally didn't like hip-hop, or even didn't like Tina very much, bought this album, and new fans continued to join, so naturally the sales volume is relatively strong. On the other hand,
Beyoncé's audience is relatively fixed, and the number of people who love her and her songs is relatively fixed. Even if there are new ones joining, because the popularity is not very good, they will definitely not be as popular as Tina's, and the sales volume will naturally be overtaken by the other party.
.
By the tenth day after the sales of Tina's new record, Beyoncé's record had been sold for eleven days. As a result, Tina's total record sales exceeded Beyoncé's record sales even though Beyoncé started selling it one day earlier.
And it can be predicted that as time goes on, the sales gap between the two will become wider and wider.
Therefore, it can basically be concluded that in the battle between Beyoncé and Tina, Beyoncé lost.
On this day, many media outlets publicly reported this incident.
[The battle between divas is settled, Tina wins]
[Tina vs. Beyoncé, the latter lost]
[The war between two black beauties, Tina is superior]
[Tina vs. Beyoncé, this is a war with no losers]
…
All major media these days have been paying attention to and continuing to report on the sales of their new album, as well as their reports of flying around the world for promotion.
It can be said that in the past few days, the two of them have almost taken away all the traffic and popularity in the entertainment industry, causing other singers who released albums at the same time to complain endlessly.
It even directly affected everyone's attention to the film industry, because everyone was desperately trying to eat Beyoncé and Tina. On the Internet, fans from both sides even started a huge online scolding war.
It has spread directly from the United States to all countries and regions around the world. Many people have been affected.
Later, at Chen Feng's request, both Beyoncé and Tina issued statements on Twitter calling on their fans to calm down, and this was able to prevent the large-scale online scolding war from continuing to spread.
On the tenth day, Tina's fans were undoubtedly overjoyed and posted messages and posts everywhere on the Internet to celebrate.
Beyoncé's fans are all very unconvinced, but the data is here, and the defeat has been decided, which is difficult to change. They can only keep silent and dare not appear on the Internet.
It was also on this day that Beyoncé tweeted, officially admitting that she had lost the record war.
"After ten days of competition, I finally lost. There are many reasons, but in my opinion, the main reason is that Chen Feng's support for Tina's new album is too strong, especially since he personally
I came off to support and sang the song "Love the Way You Lie" with Tina, which was a bit unfair to me.
Because according to statistics, the reason why many people are willing to buy Tina's new record is because of this song that popularized hip-hop music. This is a revolutionary song that established a sect, and this song makes people who originally did not like hip-hop like it.
Being on hip-hop makes people who originally loved hip-hop feel like a treasure.
So, I lost, which seemed destined from the beginning. But I will not regret challenging Tina. Because if you want to be an excellent singer, you should not be afraid of challenges.
Congratulations to Tina! She won, and she deserved it. I lost, and I deserved it. However, I want to say that I did not fail. Yes, I lost, but I did not fail."
In this tweet, although Beyoncé publicly admitted defeat, she was obviously unwilling to do so. As far as the matter was concerned, she was actually right.
It is true that in reality, many people bought Tina's album solely because of the song "Love the Way You Lie".
But, then again, Chen Feng is Tina's boss after all, so there seems to be nothing wrong with him personally singing for Tina. On the contrary, it should be taken as a matter of course.
As Tina's boss, if he doesn't help Tina, why should he help you, a singer signed by a rival company?
On the contrary, the two title songs of Beyonce's new album were written by Chen Feng. Without these two songs, it would be even more impossible for Beyonce to beat Tina.
To put it this way, it is unfair to Tina.
Therefore, Beyoncé’s fans all liked and retweeted Beyoncé’s tweet. They all felt that it was indeed unfair to Beyoncé. She lost to Tina. It was not Beyoncé’s own strength.
Tina is not good, but Tina has a helper, and this helper is too powerful.
Therefore, rather than saying that Beyoncé lost to Tina, it is better to say that she lost to Chen Feng, a gold medal music producer and gold medal songwriter.
Of course, Tina's fans were dissatisfied and believed that Beyoncé was making excuses for her defeat, and that this excuse was too childish.
To put it simply, Chen Feng is Tina’s boss and the producer of the new album. If he doesn’t help Tina, will he still help you, Beyoncé?
You, Beyoncé, have no ability. You don’t have a gold medal producer like Chen Feng, so who can blame you? It’s because your own luck and overall strength are not as good as Tina’s.
When you lose, you have to admit it and don't make excuses for yourself. What's more, "I lost, but I didn't fail" and play word games. Isn't it childish?
As a result, fans from both sides started a large-scale scolding war on the Internet, directly from Twitter to Youtu.com.
The cause was that a black fan of Beyoncé made a video mocking Beyoncé, with spicy words and exaggerated expressions. As a result, many fans of Tina went to like it and even rewarded it. As a result, Beyoncé’s fans were furious.
, and immediately produced many videos of Black Tina.
As a result, the two sides went back and forth out of control. They reported on each other and tried their best to blackmail each other.
This time, neither Tina nor Beyoncé immediately came forward to stop it, so the scolding war between each other became more and more intense.
