A situation that countless musicians had never imagined before became a reality with Warner's extremely official notice.

What followed was an increasingly heated discussion about the Book of Changes——

Disdainful, insulting, worshipful, fond, passing by.

This day is destined to be a day that only belongs to Zhou Yi.

In a corner where only a few people pay attention, Canadian female singer Avril Lavigne is staring at the freshly released list——

On the B chart a week ago, her single "Complicated" was ranked 51st;

After her extremely hard work - working hard to the point where she basically only slept about five hours a day, and spent the rest of the time either running promotions or on the road for promotions, the song "Complicated" successfully rose to No. 56 on the singles chart. name.

A proper reverse ranking.

The punk girl, who was only a few months away from turning eighteen, couldn't stand it anymore - she bit her lip in grievance and blinked hard to prevent herself from losing her little pearl.

According to normal data calculation, she should be able to break into the top 40 this week no matter what.

However, there appeared a Zhouyi that did not make any sense——

Originally, only two songs entered the chart, but now the entire album is on the list.

Then, because Zhou Yi moved forward too fast and the songs at the front were pushed down, those songs that were moved down step by step pushed her down as she was working hard to move forward...

what is this?

She didn't understand, she didn't understand why God would allow such a terrifying man to appear when her career was just starting out, interrupting her struggle.

no! I'm not convinced!

The punk girl with smoky makeup picked up her microphone again and vowed to fight back——

I can still do publicity! My song sales are actually very good, and my album is also selling well!

The future is promising!

"Look, Warner has announced Spike's global sales!"

Avril had not taken two steps and was called back by her agent, ready to find out the true situation of this man.

Due to the delay in statistics and docking of Asian channels, Warner, which had not been able to combine the first-day sales in Asia in time, took advantage of today's lovely day to show off all the results achieved by Zhouyi. ——

"The Attitude Show" sold 126,425 copies in Japan and 64,646 copies in South Korea on its first day;

The first-day sales volume in China was 453,794: more than 156,000 in Taiwan, 53,000 in Hong Kong, 30,000 in Macau, and more than 210,000 in the mainland.

Thanks to the fact that this World Cup is being held in Japan and South Korea, Zhou Yi's new album has received almost overwhelming publicity in several East Asian countries. His performance at the closing ceremony of the World Cup made his album sales reach a high point on the first day. ——

The total first-day sales in China, Japan and South Korea alone were more than 640,000.

Counting the sales of 10,000 to 20,000 or 20,000 in countries such as Singapore and Malaysia, and the sales of several thousand or hundreds in countries such as Vietnam, Myanmar, and Cambodia, the total number exceeded 720,000 on the first day in Asia.

In Asia, the big vote bank that belongs to him, Zhou Yi, who almost exclusively enjoys the benefits of the World Cup in Japan and South Korea, also has a lot to eat.

In addition to the more than 600,000 first-day sales in Europe and the United States combined, plus scattered sales in other regions, Zhouyi's actual first-day global sales, which had gained full exposure before the album was released, directly exceeded 1.4 million copies.

Although the high sales volume brought about by this exposure is a follow-up to overdraft, it undoubtedly makes Zhouyi's book data look a hundred times better.

"I said, I came to America just to be number one.

"So, tonight I am here to announce to you in advance that I have won the weekly championship. I think no one will have any objections, right?"

July 10, Wednesday night, Warner celebration party.

When Zhou Yi raised the trophy that symbolized the platinum record certification in the United States, none of the reporters in the audience could refute, even if it was only Wednesday.

Because no one can threaten Zhouyi's championship this week, because this week's strongest second place has only sold half of Zhouyi's sales as of today.

In other words, even if this trend continues, Zhou Yi might even win consecutive championships!

At this moment, reporters miss Eminem who released his new album a month ago - although he is full of controversies, he is the only singer whose album sales in North America in the first week exceeded Zhou Yi's so far this year: A total of 1.3 million copies.

"The album has achieved genuine double platinum certification for global record sales in just one week after its release! The total sales of the first day worldwide + North America in one week exceeded more than 2.4 million copies!

"The first Chinese pop singer in history!"

While Warner was still holding a celebration party, one news after another was released by Sohu with exclusive online reports, and domestic public opinion exploded instantly——

"I think Americans can buy an album at the cheapest price of 22.9 US dollars. In other words, in seven days, Zhou Yi's album alone earned at least 24 million US dollars in the United States?!"

"Fuck! Zhou Yi is getting more and more excessive. Last time he made 100 million in more than two months, and this time he is guaranteed to make 100 million in a week? He can't even open a money printing machine and print money as fast as him!"

"It's called Zhou Yiyi right, now it's a genuine Zhou Yiyi..."

"..."

Zhou Yi's fans are so close to each other, as if they can share half of the money Zhou Yi earns. From time to time, they will do some popular science on the Billboard Album Chart to lock in the weekly champion in advance.

The two women who have received the most obvious benefits from this controversy, Stefanie Sun and Fan Bingbin, have also seen their fans grow stronger - especially Fan Bingbin, the heroine of "Baby".

In China, or in the current world, the most popular song of Zhou Yi's album is not "Yeah", which ranks highest in many countries and is ranked 24th on the Billboard. It is the 29th on the Billboard. 's "Baby" and No. 37's "Good Time".

A MV may not matter in foreign countries, but under the hype of Fan Bingbin's agent Chen Shufen, Fan Bingbin, who only played the heroine in one MV, has suddenly transformed into an international star whose international reputation is comparable to that of Zhang Ziyi. I don't know. I thought she won the Best Actress Oscar;

As for Stefanie Sun, who has been forced to work under the control of Chen Zeshan since Zhou Yi left and can no longer squat at home in Makabaka, she just wants to call Zhou Yi and tell him one thing -

"Come back soon!!! Chen Zeshan has already started planning my international debut. He has even started to help me test the waters in the market!"

During this period of time, I could see with my own eyes Zhou Yi's tired look that even makeup could not hide on TV. Stefanie Sun, who was very worried about whether her physique could withstand it, launched a sonic attack on the phone. Zhou Yi, who was taking a bath to recuperate, was heard scratching. ear--

"If you make an international debut, just make an international debut. Don't worry, if you can't survive anymore, I will reluctantly take action to get you."

Zhou Yi, who was very satisfied, sneered: "When the time comes when you sing, I will give you two yoyos and a note next to you, and we will make 50% of the money."

"Why can't you sing and I paddle?"

Imperial Capital, Stefanie Sun's home.

Stefanie Sun, who was rolling around on the bed with a pillow, immediately sat up straight and asked about her soul.

Zhou Yi curled his lips disdainfully: "Do you like singing or not? There are many female singers who want to sing with me now."

"..."

That makes sense.

Stefanie Sun suddenly found that even with her sharp-tongued intelligence, she could not refute.

The song "Good Time" directly made her one of the most envied and envied female singers in the Chinese music circle.

This is a song that can be used as pension insurance.

As time went by, when the song "Baby" became popular around the world, Fan Bingbin, as the heroine, did not receive any role bonuses internationally. But in China, after Chen Shufen's hype, her fame is comparable to that of a first-line movie actress!

"Throw it away! I hate it!"

Hong Kong, Charlene Choi’s home.

After seeing the news, Charlene Choi slapped her thigh regretfully: "I should have just kept him that night!"

She also wants to be very popular!

"When he comes back, will you try to find him again?" Gillian, who was eating potato chips at the side, blinked and asked tentatively.

Three updates!
