As expected, the next day news about the singer's "Clash of the Titans" spread all over the world.

The first group to take action were users who already had a M&G Music account.

After years of operation, Morning Glory Music already has tens of millions of paying users around the world.

Over the years, these users have also used their own hard-earned money to select several leaders in the world music scene.

From the first few days, it can be seen which artists are loved by fans all over the world:

1. Zhang Chen (Lyon):

9. Katy Perry (Morning Light Records)

10. Celine Dion (Columbia Records)

The top ten are the top ten voted by the paying users of Morning Glory Music in "War of the Titans".

Zhang Chen, needless to say.

With its own software, there are countless resources provided to its boss.

Even when there is no new album released, all users can see Zhang Chen's songs dominating the charts in the most prominent position on the homepage.

Michael Jackson, although there has been no news in recent years.

However, his long-term dominance in the music scene has earned him a group of extremely loyal fans, so it is not surprising that he received this ranking.

Avril Lavigne's third place surprised many people.

However, this legend has an "unclear" relationship with Zhang Chen, so his albums are often placed in prominent positions within Morning Light Music, allowing fans around the world to often hear his songs.

Coupled with her sweet appearance, love for cyberpunk style, and rebellious personality that loves heavy metal rock, many young people love this "little princess" from the Maple Leaf Country.

The subsequent ranking did not surprise many people.

After all, after so many years, the influence of "The Voice of China" is still talked about by many people.

These singers are also some of the most active singers in the world music scene.

Among these top ten singers, five are from "Morning Light Records".

If we include Zhang Chen, the founder of Morning Glory Records, there are a total of 6 people!
This scene surprised the people who usually don't pay much attention to the management companies behind the singers.

“Oh my god, has the world music scene been ruled by Morning Light Music?”

“How come all the singers except Leon are from Morning Light Records?”

"Morning Light Records has quietly signed half of the world's music scene!"

"In a few years, when Michael and his group have completely retired, won't the world music scene be dominated by Morning Glory Records?"

"The world music scene is now dominated by Morning Glory Records!"

"That's right, Morning Glory Records is the heaven of the world music scene! Leon is the king of the world music scene!"

“I thought Leon was no longer involved in the world music scene, and other singers should have a chance to come to the fore. But when I opened my eyes, the pair of feet above my head were still there!”

“Take a closer look at how many of the top ten singers’ representative songs were written by Leon!”

Facebook is now full of topics about Zhang Chen himself, Zhang Chen's songs, and Zhang Chen's company.

They came to a horrifying conclusion—the European and American music scene has been taken over by Zhang Chen.

How is this still playing?
Could it be that Leon was behind the Grammy Awards this time?
Is the purpose to allow Chinese songs to take over the market share of English songs?

Taking this Grammy as a starting point, will they completely trample the world music scene under their feet?
"No, we can't let Leon and his Morning Glory Records dominate the market!"

"But what can we do?"

“Yes, Michael, Celine Dion, and Madonna are all Leon’s friends. They may not be willing to cooperate with us.”

“I also think they won’t go against Lyon, even if they are unwilling to do so.”

"Then find a scapegoat!"

Some European and American singers and the record companies behind them began to panic when they saw the rankings on the charts gradually becoming more consistent.

If this so-called "War of the Gods" really continues to develop in this form.

The world music scene of the future will truly become Zhang Chen's possession and he will be able to do whatever he wants with it.

Those second- and third-tier record companies that are not signed singers of Morning Glory Records and do not have investment from Morning Glory Records or are not shareholders of Morning Glory Music will completely lose their living space.

In order to avoid embarrassing their singers and to ensure the survival of their company, they began to try every possible means to reverse the current rankings on the charts.

If his name ranks low in "War of the Gods", his fans will naturally have to bow down to the fans of singers signed by Morning Glory Records.

When they face these singers, they are inferior to the singers from the Morning Glory Records in status and position due to the influence of the "God War Ranking", a ranking list voted by global fans.

This is something they absolutely will not allow!

European and American singers think so, and naturally a group of veteran Chinese singers who debuted many years earlier than Zhang Chen will also think so.

They also didn't think that their strength was higher than Zhang Chen's.

But they care more about their "status in the circle" than those European and American singers.

Some even claim to be Zhang Chen's predecessors.

For them, the title of "Senior Zhang Chen" is their only fig leaf in the Chinese music scene. If their ranking in this "Battle of the Gods" is lower than that of the singers trained by Zhang Chen, how can they still have the face to call themselves "Senior Zhang Chen"?
It’s no wonder these singers think this way.

Because the singers at the top of the charts are all world-class singers.

And after that it reached the middle of the rankings.

Among them are Ayumi Hamasaki, Jay Chou, and Janice Man Sun, who are all very popular in Asia.

Following closely behind are Zhang Hanyun, Wang Xinling, Yao Beina, Zhang Jie and Lin Junjie, all of whom are under Morning Glory Records.

After that came the princess, Na Ying, Zhang Guorong, Liu Dehua, Liu Huan and others.

It can be said that this ranking list has made the older generation of singers feel unprecedented pressure.

The aggressive approach of Morning Glory Records forced them to take action.

If your ranking goes up.

Either
If they don't take action, judging by the current public opinion on the Internet, they will be completely removed from this circle in the future!

"Hahahahaha, just as expected, in today's music scene, only albums by singers from the Morning Light genre are worth paying for!"

"Zhang Chen is indeed the pride of our China. Look at this ranking of the Gods' Battle!"

"Except for Zhang Chen, who is leading the world by a huge margin, the top ten of the list has 5 seats, the top twenty has 12 seats, and the top hundred has 40 seats. It's terrifying!"

"From now on, you don't have to worry about whose songs to listen to. Just look for the singer's record company. Anything produced by Morning Light must be high-quality!"

"I've decided that for the sake of peace of mind in the future, I will only listen to songs by Morning Light singers!"

After Zhang Chen was interviewed by reporters, the "War of the Gods" he released has definitely been the hottest topic in recent days, no doubt about it.

Even other international news have to give in to this matter.

It also allowed everyone in the world to once again experience Zhang Chen's personal international influence.

If someone else were to do this kind of ranking, he would definitely be criticized and said to be unqualified.

But this person is Zhang Chen, so other singers can only agree with a pinch of their nose even if they have to passively accept everyone's votes.

Otherwise, if they offend Zhang Chen, they are not sure whether their current works can still have a place in Chenguang Music, the world's largest Internet music platform.

So from the first few days of the event, fans of Zhang Chen and fans of Morning Light singers all spoke with their heads held high.

Especially when meeting fans of other singers on the Internet, that kind of proud attitude becomes visibly stronger.

"You probably didn't expect that even if Zhang Chen is no longer in the music industry, the sky above your idol's head is still under Zhang Chen's feet!"

"Are the singers who debuted in the past few years desperate? They thought that if Zhang Chen stopped competing, they would have their chance. But when they looked up, they found that the world music scene was still dominated by Zhang Chen!"

"To paraphrase an ancient poem, 'If Zhang Chen had not been born, the music world would have been in darkness forever'!"

"Although the poem is awkward, it is indeed the fact!"

"Who dares to question Zhang Chen's status as the world's top singer now?"

"Hahahaha, it turns out that my favorite singer is the best!"

As proud as Zhang Chen's fans are, as aggrieved as other singers' fans are.

They wanted to refute, but when they saw that Zhang Chen and the singers who became famous because of his songs clearly occupied an absolute dominant position in the "War of the Gods" rankings, they shut up tactfully.

What else could they say? Zhang Chen’s fans slapped a screenshot of “War of the Titans” in their faces and they didn’t even stand a chance to argue.

This is what life was like in the first few days of "War of the Titans".

It can also be said that this is the result of the choice made by the main user groups of Morning Glory Music.

You should know that many music fans around the world are worried because Morning Music has monopolized the digital copyrights of almost all singers, so that Morning Music is the only official music listening platform left.

If we count the second one, then about 90% of the music in the Morning Glory Music library can only be found on Apple's music platform.

However, Apple’s shareholder list includes a 12.1% stake in Morning Glory Music.

So in general, Morning Glory Music is still the dominant player.

But are you saying that just because of Morning Glory Music’s leadership, everyone in the world will pay to listen to music?
That's simply impossible.

The freeloader party will never disappear.

What's more, looking around the world, not all people in all countries live well.

Therefore, pirated resource websites will continue to emerge.

Their target audience is those who think that paying to listen to music is too expensive, or those who simply don't want to spend money on music.

No one can quantify how large this group of people is.

Now, Morning Light Music's "no threshold" voting, coupled with the overwhelming publicity from all the mainstream media in the world, has slowly attracted the attention of these people.

Who made Zhang Chen’s fans and the fans of the Morning Light singers so “arrogant” on every platform?

After a week of fermentation, fans of Zhang Chen and fans of Chen Guang singers have become furious with them.

Even though they usually like to listen to songs by Zhang Chen and those singers under his company, people who listen to pirated songs don’t have such a strong idol filter. They only care about whether the song is good or not.

In their eyes, the music industry is a place where a hundred flowers can bloom, and Zhang Chen, an "old man" who has gradually retired from the music industry, should not be allowed to continue to dominate the industry.

There are also many fans of other singers who are very unhappy with the arrogance of the Morning Light fans.

Among them, some groups that listen to niche songs are particularly represented.

Among this group, fans who prefer dark style songs are the most extreme.

These people themselves take the ideas that have become popular in recent years, such as "being different", "being different from others", and "disdaining to associate with the masses" as their formal standards.

They are the people in this world who are most unbelieving of evil and most dissatisfied with traditional pop music.

And these people all saw news with roughly the same content through different channels on a certain day.

These messages are spread across the comment sections of major platforms.

It seemed insignificant, but it quickly caught their attention.

It also attracted netizens from other circles who were not interested in this "battle of the gods" in the music world.

"Morning Light Music's 'Clash of the Titans' vote for P. Diddy and give him the Giant Sun inheritance!"

"Morning Light Music's 'Clash of the Titans' vote for P. Diddy, 2 bucks a vote!"

"Zhang Chen who stole the Fairy Sister is too arrogant. Everyone, follow me and overthrow him!"

“Leon, who stole Avril, is too arrogant. He must get his comeuppance!”

"Zhang-san, who bullied Hama-chan, is too despicable. He must be made to see the unity of the Yamato people!"

"That mainland guy's fans have come to our island to mock us. We must fight back!"

"We must make this ranking a complete joke! Only singers like us who are not from the Morning Light group have a chance to survive!"

Without Zhang Chen's knowledge, a counterattack against him began!

　Sure enough, inspiration comes from reality.
