Chapter 409: 408 Amazing Sales! Huge Vote Gap!

The weekly sales of the song "We Will Rock You" sung by Jiang Chen last week have officially exceeded 100 million, meeting everyone's imagination and expectations, and a little earlier than they expected.

It also broke the record for the highest weekly sales in the entire European and American music scene since the advent of digital music download platforms, and more than doubled the weekly sales record.

Sales of over 100 million in a week broke many people’s imagination of music sales.

after all!

Previously, the highest weekly sales volume was only over 40 million, but now it has increased to over 100 million.

The World Championship has not even ended yet, but many media outlets have already started hyping it up crazily.

"Incredible weekly sales, Chinese singers dominate the European and American music scene."

“Really good music should have sales like this.”

“Who says releasing songs doesn’t make money?”

"This song alone could earn him hundreds of millions of dollars in net income."

"Chinese singers show what real music is."

…………

Many top singers and musicians such as Milia and Lehman paid great attention to it. After seeing the weekly sales officially exceeded 100 million, they also began to plan to release the same type of rock follow-up works.

If it is just a general record-breaking sales volume, they would not bother to lower themselves to follow the trend and release a work by a Chinese singer.

but……

These sales figures are so terrifying that they are enough to make any European and American singers and musicians humble themselves.

Make money, not shabby.

Making big money is not shameful at all.

Milia, Leiman and others were still at the show and did not leave.

They will not leave until the performance is over, and then contact the top musicians they want to work with and release new songs of the same type.

but……

At this time, Jiang Chen had already uploaded his new song Stairway to Heaven.

When the performance was over, when Millia, Lehman and other talents turned to the music download platform, they were all stunned with shock.

Milia picked up the phone with a trembling voice and called her agent Harry: "Harry, I am about to compose and release a rock song right now, please help me contact him as soon as possible."

Harry said in a complicated voice: "Have you seen the sales of his new song?"

Milia: “Yes, I saw it after the show ended.”

Harry: "Then you are too slow. Many other singers are frantically contacting musicians who are good at rock music."

Milia was shocked: "Shit, are we late?"

Harry smiled and said, "Of course not. I have already contacted them for you in advance. And Lehman, you can work together. With your popularity, plus the popularity of rock music, it may also create a miracle in sales."

Milia asked expectantly: "Can we break the sales record of this Chinese singer?"

Harry was silent for a moment, and said softly, "Do you think it's possible? Stairway to Heaven has only been uploaded for less than an hour, and the sales have exceeded 50 million! The sales on the first day may exceed 100 million. He is doing what he did in the Chinese music scene again in the European and American music scene."

"If his music level can continue to maintain this level, he will continue to break records! Just like what he did in China, weekly sales of over 100 million is not the limit, even weekly sales of 200 million or 300 million is his ultimate goal."

Harry's words left Milia speechless.

She simply couldn't imagine what it would be like if weekly sales could reach 200 or 300 million.

You have to know that among all the songs in the entire European and American music scene on digital music platforms, the cumulative sales of the works with the highest cumulative sales in the past decade are only about 200 million. In their eyes, this is already a miraculous sales volume.

but……

Jiang Chen is now creating even more incredible miracles.

Milia said in a low voice: "I will be satisfied if I can achieve weekly sales of over 50 million."

She has been in the industry for a few years and knows her own limitations, so she doesn't dare to hope to catch up with Jiang Chen's record.

Jiang Chen's two performances completely conquered her and made her realize the huge gap between herself and Jiang Chen.

Whether it was pure singing skills, innate conditions, creative ability, or on-stage aura, Jiang Chen was stronger and more perfect than she had imagined.

If she could have a song like this, it would be enough to become a representative work of her singing career.

Harry said softly: "Actually, you don't need to feel so much pressure! This may actually be an opportunity for you! Just like the Chinese music scene."

Milia obviously didn't understand that and asked, "What opportunity?"

Harry said quickly, "The Chinese music scene was stagnant before. Jiang Chen activated everyone's interest in paying to listen to songs with his record-breaking works, and then saved the entire Chinese music scene. Although, he left behind an insurmountable record monument, making it impossible for other Chinese singers to break his record forever."

"However, it has also led to a significant increase in sales of other Chinese singers' works. Recently, the number of new songs released in the Chinese music scene has increased by more than ten times compared to before, and the quality is very high, and the sales are also very high. In addition to Jiang Chen, there are already singers who have achieved weekly sales of over 100 million."

“It will greatly increase the income of all singers and musicians.”

"If Jiang Chen hadn't done what he did before, would they have been able to achieve such results?"

Harry's words gradually sobered Milia up, and she immediately said, "You mean, he can activate the music market here? Make everyone like music and listening to songs again? Make every singer's song sales increase greatly?"

Harry nodded, "Yes, I think so."

If North American singers like Millia can achieve weekly sales of over 50 million, or even over 100 million, they will definitely devote themselves to producing new songs, polishing them as carefully as possible, and making the new songs even better.

This will form a virtuous circle. The better the new song, the more recognition it will get and the higher its sales will be. Higher sales will bring higher income to singers, musicians and production companies, which will further stimulate their enthusiasm for creating and producing new songs!
This is completely opposite to the vicious cycle in the European and American music scene today.

The current European and American music scene has been stuck in a vicious cycle for nearly a decade. The vast majority of singers are living off their old success, and the sales of their new songs are very mediocre. Their motivation to release new songs is to maintain their image and popularity, and releasing songs itself is almost unprofitable.

in case……

If you can make a lot of money by releasing a new song now, and you can continue to make a lot of money in the future, then all singers’ enthusiasm for releasing new songs will skyrocket.

The source of all this is that Jiang Chen’s songs and performances can inspire everyone’s enthusiasm for listening to music.

Let everyone choose music as an entertainment item from many entertainment items.

Harry continued, "What we should do now is to create better works as much as possible and then choose the right time to release them. I believe that we will create higher sales like those singers in China."

Harry and many other people in the European and American music scene have been studying Jiang Chen's rise in China in the past week, and naturally discovered Jiang Chen's importance to the Chinese music scene.

It can be said that Jiang Chen single-handedly saved and revitalized the Chinese music scene. So, they also expect Jiang Chen to do the same thing in North America and revitalize the European and American music scene.

Although……

Letting a Chinese singer save the European and American music scene makes many local European and American singers and musicians lose face and their self-esteem is somewhat damaged.

but……

If you can't do it, others can. What can you do?

What's more, if others really do it, each of them will be a beneficiary.

and so.

After experiencing a little struggle, they were full of expectations for Jiang Chen's performance, hoping that Jiang Chen could further activate the European and American music market and bring them new opportunities.

After Milia figured it out, she was full of expectations for the future and immediately said, "I'll start thinking about new songs now."

Harry: "Lehman has already started writing."

Milia asked curiously, "Can the first-day sales of Stairway to Heaven exceed 100 million?"

Harry: "I don't know, but I think it should be okay. Most people in Europe and America have much higher spending power than the Chinese people. We should be able to achieve higher sales records than they can. As long as we activate people's willingness to pay for songs, they will be willing to pay for other works. Milia, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Milia: "I will take good care of it!"

……

When the European and American music scenes began to surge with undercurrents.

The first official match of the World Championship is about to end.

Hosts Allen and Jenna are on stage about to announce the final results.

All the contestants' performances have ended, and the voting results will naturally come out.

There are 20,000 votes in total, and the audience with voting rights can freely allocate them to any contestant.

The nine contestants in the lounge backstage were all a little nervous, but confident contestants such as Rambo, Nakajima Saon, Diana and others were not nervous about whether they would be eliminated, but how many votes Jiang Chen would get, and whether they would be left too far behind by Jiang Chen.

Several other contestants who performed poorly were worried that they would be eliminated in the first round, which would deal a major blow to their singing careers.

Haley and Oldman are always keeping an eye on the real-time data.

Ever since Jiang Chen left, the ratings began to plummet, reaching a low point with only over 17 million viewers.

Now when the final results were announced, the data rose sharply again, reaching more than 29 million people watching online, but it was still a huge gap from the more than 51 million people when Jiang Chen performed.

Apparently...

Although most people are somewhat concerned about the final results, there are still many people who don’t pay any attention to the results numbers at all. They just want to watch the wonderful performance.

This is the core competitiveness of variety shows.

Wonderful performances are always the most attractive.

Alan on the stage loudly announced the final vote count: "The first place, without a doubt, is our contestant Jiang Chen from China... His final number of votes reached an astonishing 15,732 votes..."

There were exclamations and applause at the scene.

Because there were only 20,000 votes in total, Jiang Chen alone took about two-thirds of them, which was twice as many as the votes of all other people combined.

This is a crushing comparison of results.

However, all the audience at the scene, whether from Asia or Europe and the United States, applauded vigorously. They had no objection to this result and felt that it was as they deserved.

Even Tony in the front said loudly: "Are you mistaken? Jiang Chen should get the full 20,000 votes. The performances of the others are simply a pile of shit, not worth a single ticket!"

Tony's words were transmitted throughout the venue and in front of the TV through the microphone in the front, causing many people to nod in agreement and think that what he said was correct. However, many contestants backstage looked embarrassed after hearing it.

Several contestants who thought they performed poorly even began to tremble.

Jiang Chen alone took more than 15,000 votes, and the other nine contestants shared the remaining 4,000 votes. The person with the least votes would probably get terribly low votes.

Even confident contestants like Rambo and Diana looked extremely unhappy. They did not expect that there would be such a huge gap between their votes and Jiang Chen's.

They thought that Jiang Chen might get five or six thousand votes, taking one third, and the rest of them would get one third. The second place should be able to get three or four thousand votes, and the gap between him and Jiang Chen would be one or two thousand, which is already a huge gap.

When they participated in the local singing king competition before, the difference in votes between the top few places was very small, sometimes even in single digits.

Therefore, they expected that there would be a gap of one to two thousand between themselves and Jiang Chen, which was already very pessimistic, and their estimate of Jiang Chen's votes was too high.

but……

Reality slapped them in the face again!

Their expectations were wildly wrong.

Jiang Chen did not get 5,000 or 6,000 votes, and their second place could not have gotten 4,000 or 5,000 votes. Instead, the nine of them only got more than 4,000 votes together, which was less than one-third of Jiang Chen's.

The gap was so huge that they all wanted to withdraw from the competition.

Because, continuing the performance would no longer be a competition, but a public execution and humiliation!

Compared with Jiang Chen's performance, their performance did not excite the audience at all.

Alan, who read out the number of votes, was also extremely shocked and said: "This number of votes is frighteningly high, beyond my imagination."

Jenna quickly said, "I think Jiang Chen should get more votes. His performance deserves everyone to vote for him alone..."

Alan was afraid that Jenna's words would offend people, so he immediately continued to read out the votes for the second place: "The second place is our North American contestant Rambo, and he received 2,700 votes! This number of votes is also very high. You should know that except for contestant Jiang Chen, the rest of the votes added up to only more than 4,000. Rambo received more than half of all the votes, which means that Rambo has also been recognized by everyone..."

After all, he is a local player, so Allen praised Rambo as much as possible.

"The third place is contestant Diana... I have to say, Diana also brought us some surprises. She received 850 votes..."

"The fourth place is from an island country... he got 420 votes..."

The remaining votes were not high, ranging from a hundred or two to just a few dozen, which was not even a fraction of Jiang Chen's.

The host read to the end and said with regret: "The final vote count for the Baseball player is a bit too low, only twelve votes... Unfortunately, he will leave our stage..."

Everyone at the scene was shocked when they heard this number.

The Korean player in the lounge went dark and fainted on the spot. The assistant hurriedly contacted the program crew and asked them to call an ambulance. (End of this chapter)
