Entertainment: Top players who started out as trainees

Chapter 820: So many? & A trivial achievement~
"Can you two go back to the room and talk about serious matters?" The little fat girl patted the coffee table in dissatisfaction.

"Please continue." Ning Luo raised his hand to apologize.

"For physical copies, 568 million copies were sold on the first day, of which nearly half were orders from overseas."

"Among these overseas orders, many were from your overseas fan clubs, who raised funds and made group purchases with Penguin Music. The discount was about 10% to 15%, so the total sales on the first day was about 4.27 million."

"Mr. Duo?" Upon hearing this number, Cha Mei couldn't help but widen her eyes slightly.

Ning Luo also raised his eyebrows slightly, "Why are there so many?"

When physical and digital albums are released simultaneously, few ordinary fans will buy the physical albums.

In other words, most of this sales volume was driven by his fans.

According to their original analysis and estimates, sales of around 6 to 7 million copies should be about right.

In the past two years, the best-selling physical album in the world is the mini album released by the Peninsula idol group SEVENTEEN this year, which has only sold over 600 million copies so far.

This is even when sales are boosted through operations such as multiple covers for one album, drawing small cards and posters, as well as full signings and huge sales.

After all, under the impact of streaming media, physical albums have become a somewhat outdated product.

The current "vitality" is only supported by the fan economy.

But Ning Luo's album is not fancy at all.

Just selling.

Moreover, the purchase limit of ten tickets applies regardless of whether you are domestic or overseas.

Overseas group buying can circumvent purchase restrictions to a certain extent, but most of the restrictions must still be followed.

However, according to the data from the first day, the final sales volume may exceed expectations by a lot.

"Obviously, we underestimated the fans' enthusiasm for your first physical album." The chubby girl spread her chubby hands.

"But there's nothing to be surprised about. The record-breaking album by BTS was contributed by their Chinese fans alone, which accounted for nearly a small portion of the sales. After factoring in the water, the sales should be around 80 to 90 million."

“There may not be as many fans in other regions, but there are definitely quite a few.”

"Your popularity in Asia is much higher than theirs now~"

"Moreover, your overseas fan clubs have formed a PK atmosphere with each other, just like the fan clubs of the trainees in the previous Produce Camp. They are having a lot of fun~"

"Penguin Music doesn't show the specific sales volume, so how can they compete?" Ning Luo couldn't help but complain.

"PK fundraising~" The little fat girl shrugged and grabbed two cherry tomatoes and stuffed them into her mouth.

"It's okay here in China, we have the team and Teacher Bai to help us, but we can't reach overseas."

Ning Luo smacked his lips in a headache, not knowing whether to be happy or sad.

Be more happy.

After all, sales volume is a recognized indicator of popularity and commercial value.

Applicable worldwide.

Why is Adele basically the top of the new generation of five divas?

The sales volume is high~
The kind with walls, and extremely stable performance.

The first album earned over 900 million, "21" earned over 3200 million, and "25" also earned over million. Basically no one dared to challenge him.

The same goes for Peninsula's BTS.

High sales means that your fans are willing to spend money on you, which means you can afford to hold concerts and boost sales of the products you endorse.

"Forget it, let them be happy." Ning Luo opened his mouth to take the strawberry that Cha Mei handed to him and took a bite of it. He didn't think about these messy things anymore.

Flipping her phone, the chubby girl continued, "Then there's the YouTube MV playback volume, which is also the only overseas streaming platform we're online on."

"The first hit song, 'Wanjiang', has 1800 million views and over 1.3 million likes." "The second hit song, 'Passing by the World', has 1600 million views and over million likes."

"The third hit song, "Sad Place", has 1.1 million views and over 1600 million likes."

“The remaining songs, except for ‘Garden Planting Flowers’, have basically been played between 30 million and 50 million times.”

"The two songs 'Grandma' and 'Bauhinia Blossoms' are exceptions, with only about 20 million views."

Ning Luo couldn't help but click his tongue twice, "These white-haired ghosts are quite sensitive~"

"I expected that~" the little fat girl curled her lips in disdain.

Normally, the first hit song should have the highest number of views.

Because when fans are checking the data, they usually focus most of their energy on the first hit.

However, the number of plays of the second and third singles of Ning Luo's album is much higher than that of the first one.

Obviously, the latter is restricted.

"Bauhinia Blossoms" and "Grandma" should be in the same situation, and may even be subject to even more severe restrictions.

Needless to say, the former is a tribute to Hong Kong Island and the MV was produced by CCTV News.

It's basically like poking their lungs.

The MV of "Grandma" is a mix of several anti-Z film and television works.

For example, the two-part "Changjin Lake" series.

There is also an element of the charge.

so~
To be honest, Ning Luo was not surprised at all even if the MVs of these two songs were suddenly taken down.

Fortunately, he didn't care much about these overseas data, because the sales volume was real anyway.

What's more, the other MVs that were not restricted actually had quite a good number of views.

Before this, the fastest MV to reach 20 million views on YouTube was BTS's single "Dynamite" released in 24, which took 31 hours and minutes.

The second is "How you like that" released by BP in 20 years, which took 32 hours and 22 minutes.

The MVs of the two songs, "Passing By the World" and "Sadly Land", both reached over 14 million views in less than hours!

It's a small achievement, isn't it?
Moreover, as the problem of Peninsula idols inflating their playback volume has become increasingly serious, YouTube has also been cracking down on it more and more strictly in recent years. The difficulty and efficiency of fans inflating data has actually increased significantly.

This can be clearly seen from the fact that the number of MV views of the Peninsula group has collectively shrunk significantly in the past two years.

Since the beginning of this year, the most-played MV on Peninsula is "Flower" by Ning Luo's good friend, Ji Soo, with over 4 million views.

The second is Bigbang's Taeyang, whose new song released in January has over 1 million views.

It has to be said that the "golden age" of Korean Wave in recent years is truly built on false data.

Sales volume is inflated, audio sources are inflated, and playback volume is inflated.

Only the old father from the Peninsula, Berry's support is real~
Finally, after reporting some scattered data, the fat girl made a summary.

"From the big data and analysis reports provided by Penguin Music, all aspects of the data of this album have been significantly improved compared to 'The World'."

"Especially the overseas data, which is also related to the significant growth of our overseas popularity in the past two years."

"Once the album sales enter a stable period, Penguin Music will provide a detailed overseas data analysis report."

"The team will readjust our overseas plans and overseas tour plans for this year based on this report."

"The team will be responsible for the marketing and maintenance of this album. We just need to focus on filming and wait for the sales to soar~"

"Okay~"
