Huayu: Starting from Fahrenheit

Chapter 68 Popularity Index Soars
Twenty-three thousand copies were sold in a single day.

This is the result of the album "Fahrenheit" on the first day.

This data does not break history, nor is it the top number among its peers.

A few days ago, JJ Lin’s “Cao Cao” sold over 30,000 copies on the first day.

However, from the perspective of newcomers, this album by Fahrenheit is undoubtedly a success.

Among the newcomers in recent years, they are among the more dazzling ones.

And that's not the end.

In the following week, Fahrenheit held autograph sessions in three cities, Taichung, Kaohsiung, and Tainan, under the arrangement of HIM.

At every autograph session, the atmosphere was extremely heated.

The lowest number of albums sold was in Kaohsiung, where around 4,000 records were signed on that day.

Combined with the impressive autograph sales data and store sales data from other cities, the album "Fahrenheit" sold 20 copies in Taiwan in just one week from the 27th to the th.

With this data.

On the music charts in its second week.

"Fahrenheit" took the second place on the Chinese music chart, occupying 23% of the market share of this type of record.

On the new song chart, "Only Have Feelings for You" from this album became another song by Fahrenheit that made it into the top ten.

Moreover, "Only Feelings for You" ranks very high, at fourth place.

The first three songs are "Invisible Wings", "Huo Yuanjia" and "Cao Cao".

In addition, "Super Style" also ranked seventh on the list.

Of course, one of the reasons why Fahrenheit's two songs were able to climb so quickly is that many songs left the new song chart this week.

This is what enabled the two songs to quickly climb to the top of the charts.

Then there is another important ranking list in Taiwan, the HITO Pop Music Chart.

This list is not calculated based on sales like the music charts.

Because it was founded by Taipei Music Radio, the ranking list refers to sales, radio requests, and current online listening data.

So it can be regarded as a comprehensive ranking list.

To put it more directly, it is the hot song list.

The reason why it is called the hot song list is that this list does not care about new or old songs.

The list is calculated based on comprehensive popularity.

For example, last year's "Fairy Tale" was very popular throughout the year, so it stayed on the HITO chart for more than 40 weeks.

Many people in later generations said that Jay Chou was the runner-up for a thousand years, and they referred to this list.

Many of his songs often rank second on this list.

Even "Nocturne" was the same. This song didn't stay on the championship throne for long before it was snatched away by Angela Chang's "Invisible Wings". Then it has been sitting in the runner-up position ever since...

Fahrenheit's "Only Have Feelings for You" successfully entered the top ten of this list, currently ranking eighth.

"Super Style" performed slightly worse, but also made it into the top 20, ranking 16th.

Fahrenheit is unique among the newcomers in recent years in achieving such great results with their first album.

Even JJ Lin joked in an interview that he was being chased too closely by Fahrenheit and might be overtaken by them if he wasn't careful.

In the media's reviews, this album also has a very good reputation.

Some media generally believe that Fahrenheit has a real chance to take over the baton from F4 as the No. idol group in the Chinese-speaking regions. (Note: idol group)
Of course, some people disagreed and directly used 5566 to refute Fahrenheit:

"It's too early for Fahrenheit to say they are the No. 5566 idol group in the Chinese-speaking region. We'll have to wait until they surpass before we say anything!"

There is really nothing wrong with this.

In 2005, 5566 was very popular. The song "Long Time No See" was widely sung in Chinese-speaking areas. At the HITO pop music awards ceremony that ended in January, the song also won the 1 annual top ten golden songs.

In terms of influence, although Fahrenheit has been widely praised since its debut, it is obviously not yet able to convince the public that they can surpass 5566 and win the title of the number one male idol group.

However, this did not affect Fahrenheit's popularity in late February.

In recent years, the emergence of the Internet has given rise to a term for celebrities in the entertainment industry - popularity index. This popularity index is calculated based on various indicators such as sales, online discussion, and the number of people attending live events.

In late February, Fahrenheit's popularity index ranked sixth in Taiwan.

Who are the other people in the top ten?
The first is Ariel Lin. The drama "Fairy Tale" starring her is currently on the air, and with the blessing of last year's "It Started with a Kiss", she is the most popular person at the moment.

The second is Ming Dao. The domineering president Ming Dao aired a new drama "Love Magician" in February. The ratings of this drama were also good and it was very popular.

The third is Jay Chou. The popularity of "Nocturne" and "Huo Yuanjia" has kept him popular recently.

The fourth is Angela Chang. "Invisible Wings" brought her huge fame and fortune, and she is a figure that the media are vying to pursue.

……

It can be said that every artist among the top ten is one of the most popular in Taiwan and the province at present.

Since Fahrenheit ranks sixth among them, you can imagine how popular they are.

Also because they are so popular, Fahrenheit has been approached by many commercial performances and endorsements.

Among them is Taiwan’s No. 1 fruit and vegetable juice brand - Bomi Fruit and Vegetable Juice.

According to the study, nearly 9% of young people in Taiwan have insufficient intake of fruits and vegetables.

Therefore, fruit and vegetable juice is very popular in Taiwan, and it almost occupies more than half of the fruit and vegetable juice market in Taiwan.

Before every summer, Pomi fruit and vegetable juice launches a brand advertisement to remind young people to "drink Pomi" to supplement fruits and vegetables.

This year, the advertisement was found by Fahrenheit.

They value Fahrenheit's youthful popularity and its appeal among young people.

While inviting Fahrenheit to shoot commercials, they will also be appointed as the brand spokespersons for Pomi fruit and vegetable juice.

In order to maximize the popularity of Fahrenheit.

They also plan to use the song "I Only Have Feelings for You" as the promotional song for Pomi fruit and vegetable juice.

In addition to endorsements, some large-scale entertainment activities in Taiwan have also found Fahrenheit.

For example, this year’s Golden Melody Awards.

This year's Golden Melody Awards will be held on June 6st.

Fahrenheit’s album was only released in February, so they cannot be shortlisted and have to wait until next year.

However, the Golden Melody Awards invited Fahrenheit to attend this year's Golden Melody Awards as the guest singer for the Best Group Award.

……

"What a pity! If we had released the album a few months earlier, maybe we would have had a chance to compete for this year's Golden Melody Awards!"

In Hsinchu City, Fahrenheit members are preparing for the upcoming book signing.

The styling assistant is doing the hairstyles for several people.

Jiro Wang couldn't sit still, playing with the Transformers figurine in his hand, while looking at Wu Chao:
"Fire Table, what do you think?"

"I'll sit and watch!" Wu Zhuo was in a bad mood.

Just yesterday, Guo Biting left Taiwan Province.

The two have been very hot recently and stay in a hotel every day.

Now that she's gone, he's not used to it.

"Dadong, someone is in a bad mood, so don't ask him! Let me tell you what I think!
In my opinion, if we release the album two months in advance, we may not have a chance of winning the Best Group Award, but we may have a good chance of winning the Best New Artist Award!"

Calvin Chen looked like he had everything under control.

"Two months in advance means you will be out of tune four times in three sentences at the concert. Do you think you can do it?"

Wu Zhuo said faintly.

"Uh..." Upon hearing this, Chen Yiru fell silent.

Two months ago, he was indeed in this state.

Wu Zun is even worse than him.
