Chapter 526 525. Wang Qian's works are the trendsetting trend. (Subscribe)
Today, most media and many music fans don't pay much attention to today's pop music sales charts.
After all, everyone can tell at a glance that Wang Qian’s weekly sales are going to create a miracle again, there’s no surprise there.
Wang Qian has created such miracles many times, constantly breaking sales records and constantly breaking their cognition.
They are no longer surprised and are just looking forward to the weekend's sales figures to see how high they can break.
today.
Everyone's attention is on Wang Qian's departure from Los Angeles.
This symbolized that the musical event they were crazy about was over.
The ten players in the world championship have completely parted ways.
The fan bases of the ten contestants no longer overlapped, and their loyal fans began to follow their favorite idol singers, and their interest in others began to decline sharply.
At this time.
The popularity of each of the ten contestants should decrease to some extent, and some may even see a sharp drop.
But.
The sensation caused by Wang Qian's departure from Los Angeles, the gathering of fans caused by his arrival in New York, and the attention his live broadcast attracted around the world all show that his popularity and attention have not diminished in the slightest, but have instead shown an increasing trend.
In comparison.
The popularity of several other popular contestants has been weakened to varying degrees.
Even Sophie, the super talented contestant second only to Wang Qian, has become much less talked about today.
Because Sophie is too low-key, her performances are not as crazy as Wang Qian's. Although she has many loyal fans, most of them don't like her jumping around and are very low-key.
Previously, Sophie had been the focus of attention because the program team helped to promote her and boost her popularity, and her popularity remained high.
But now, there is no support from the program team.
Sophie herself had no intention of focusing on the development of pop music, so naturally her popularity dropped significantly.
As for other popular contestants, Miyuki Nakamori herself is a low-key person. In addition, she has been excluded by European and American media, so now that she has left the resources of the world competition program team, the attention she enjoys has been greatly reduced.
Only Adam and Elizabeth have seen an increase in resources because of their upcoming new cooperation with the program team and the substantial support from the companies behind them. Their names can be seen in the media of various countries, but they are still greatly overshadowed by Wang Qian's popularity.
Many social media platforms and media are still discussing Wang Qian's departure from Los Angeles and arrival in New York. They are discussing what kind of changes Wang Qian's lecture at Juilliard will cause, whether it can change the current survival status of classical music, and whether he can truly become a master musician...
There is relatively little coverage and discussion about today's pop music sales charts.
However, today's sales list still surprised and shocked many people.
Especially people in the pop music and classical music circles were shocked.
Wang Qian opened the sales list and was a little surprised when he saw the numbers on it.
"I didn't expect that two relatively simple pop music pieces, one Chinese folk music and one classical piano, could achieve such sales."
Wang Qian was slightly impressed.
Whether it is Knocking on Heaven's Door or 500 Miles, both are pop music with a more classic nature, which is very different from the mainstream pop music in Europe and the United States in the past decade!
Both works are relatively simple, whether it is the lyrics or the composition, arrangement, etc., compared to the current complex popular electronic music, they are all very simple.
Perhaps, this is the essence that the simpler things are, the more they can attract people's hearts.
At the end of the day, " Knockin' on Heaven's Door" still topped the charts, with sales reaching a terrifying 810 million. It truly achieved a terrifying sales of over 800 million on the first day of release, and once again created an even more terrifying record, raising the record number on the world pop music sales chart by an order of magnitude.
The second place is of course Wang Qian's work. The sales of this folk song 500miles are also terrifying, reaching more than 760 million. It is slightly less than the first one Knocking on Heaven's Door, but it is still very limited. It also created a terrifying first-day sales figure.
These two works caused a huge shock in the pop music circle all over the world.
Wang Qian took a quick look at the comment section and saw a lot of professional analysis, who felt that both songs were typical of the style of works from the 1950s and 1960s.
A famous North American musician commented: "These two works are the most incredible retro works. They almost perfectly reproduce the style of classic works from the 1950s and 1960s, but they are still so successful. Professor Wang Qian once again used the most practical sales data to tell us that the essence of music is the resonance of emotions, not those fancy electronic music. The more complicated something is, the more difficult it is to arouse emotional resonance among the audience!"
"Similarly, the simpler something is, the more it conquers the world, the more powerful it proves. Professor Wang Qian is doing this now."
"He conquered the world with the simplest lyrics, the simplest music, and the simplest arrangement!"
This review has received more than 100,000 votes of support.
Wang Qian also agreed.
The electronic pop music that Europe and the United States pursue now sounds too noisy. It uses some obscene and violent words to attract the attention of young people and has basically lost the pursuit of the essence of music.
certainly……
There's no point in saying this about pop music.
Because the essence of pop music lies in the word "popularity". People pursue whatever is popular. To put it bluntly, they do what the market needs.
So! When the market needs simpler, more straightforward, and faster-paced things, those pornographic and violent electronic music become rampant.
Wang Qian's music is gradually changing this situation.
In recent weeks, we can hardly see those pornographic and violent electronic music on the weekly sales charts.
Now, Wang Qian's works are the market weather vane.
Wang Qian continued to look downward.
The third place is still Kristen, she still sits firmly in the third place, with sales reaching more than 270 million, and weekly sales are expected to exceed 500 million! The company behind her is spending a lot of money on publicity, and the sales gap with Sophie, who is fourth, is gradually widening.
Because Sophie no longer had the blessing of the world competition and she herself didn't care that much about pop music, so she didn't cooperate much with the agency. Naturally, the publicity was much worse than before. In addition, compared with Christine, she still lacked some foundation and accumulation. So except for some catching up in sales when it was first released, it actually started to fall behind.
However, just looking at the sales data, Sophie is still a success. Today's sales have reached a terrifying 257 million, and weekly sales are expected to exceed 500 million, which is definitely a huge success.
Similarly, the subsequent sales growth rate of Miyuki Nakamori, who ranked fifth, also slowed down a lot. Without the official promotional resources of the World Championships, and without the support of major record companies and management companies, she relied entirely on her own fans and the appeal of her works. Of course, she could not compare with the resources enjoyed by Kristen, Adam, Elizabeth and others.
However, Miyuki Nakamori still managed to hold on to the fifth position, with sales reaching over 210 million, once again proving her strength and status in the European and American music scene. Her departure from the world stage was not a flash in the pan, and she is still a powerful world-class queen.
Moreover, Miyuki Nakamori still has great potential to be tapped. When she enjoys more resource support and more publicity around the world in the future, the sales of her works will definitely rise to a higher level.
In comparison, Green, who has no signed agent or record company, does not enjoy any media resources. However, because she is a music genius from North America and a top student, she is very popular and many media are willing to promote her. Therefore, her sales are catching up with Miyuki Nakamori. She ranks sixth with sales of more than 230 million, less than 10 million away from Miyuki Nakamori.
Adam, who is ranked seventh, now enjoys the most resources in the North American music scene, even surpassing the biggest star Kristen. Both the world competition program team and the agency and record company behind him are pushing him. However, after a day's accumulation, he only managed to sit firmly in the seventh position, with sales reaching more than 190 million, and there is a possibility of catching up with Green.
在欧美诸多娱乐媒体的宣传当中，亚当几乎快挤掉克里斯汀，成为了欧美乐坛的旗帜性的人物存在，代表了欧美流行音乐的未来。
有专业媒体如是说：“亚当的实力和天赋都是很可怕的，他也是有史以来唯一一个将说唱发展到主流音乐的歌手。如果他能以说唱歌手获得格莱美最佳歌手以及最佳年度作品，那么他将问鼎有史以来第一说唱歌手的位置。”
“而现在，亚当无疑是对抗王谦的主力人物。”
可是，这样的说法，并不被大多数人认可。
很多人压根懒得理会。
最⊥新⊥小⊥说⊥在⊥六⊥9⊥⊥书⊥⊥吧⊥⊥首⊥发！
毕竟，王谦和王谦之间的差距实在是太大，不管是实际的实力，还是销量上的体现，都绝对不是一个层次的存在。
别说和王谦比了，就连苏菲和克里斯汀，都甩开亚当几个档次，即便是中森美雪和格林都能稳稳的压过亚当一头。
而且……
亚当的说唱，在欧美白人的主流圈子内，还是不那么被认可。
如果亚当以后真的能凭借一己之力，将说唱融入了主流圈子，获得了他们的认可，那么亚当在流行音乐历史上的地位的确可以说是历史级的。
只是，现在似乎距离那种层次还很远。
有数据显示，网络上购买亚当说唱作品的大部分用户，都是黑人，而这部分人却没有在网络上那么支持亚当，因为亚当是白人，而大多数白人却不那么喜欢说唱，因为这种音乐类型是黑人的音乐……
这就让亚当处于一个很尴尬的位置。
也是他此刻享受最大的媒体流量资源的情况下，热度却不那么高的重要原因之一。
王谦稍微看了看关于亚当的评价，嘴角就溢出一丝微笑，知道亚当现在的处境的确很尴尬，不知道他以后能不能坚持走下去。
不过，他也必须承认，亚当在说唱上的确有些天赋。
只是，亚当终究是接触说唱的时间太短了，还没走出真正属于自己的道路。
或许……
下次可以给他展示一下，什么是真正的说唱，让他走上正确的道路？ 收起心思，王谦看了看第八的伊丽莎白，依旧是中规中矩的首日销量一亿八千万，没掉队，也没有上升，就是这么稳定，没啥惊喜，也没啥失望。
王谦迅速看向前十的最后两个位置。
这是他最关注和最期待的数据。
第九还是钢琴曲夜曲，全世界累积一天的销量达到了一亿七千万，似乎快追上第八的伊丽莎白了。
今天大量的媒体都在报道和炒作王谦抵达纽约，即将在茱莉亚学院讲课的事情，所以很多人都开始关注起了王谦的这首古典钢琴曲。
因为……
大量的媒体都开始给大家科普王谦这首系列钢琴曲的开端作品，究竟是什么意义。
也给大家科普了，音乐巨匠又是什么存在！ 所以！ 这导致了，王谦的这首古典钢琴曲的后续销量很强劲，没有掉队，没有被后面的很多大热流行音乐追上。
这首钢琴曲，也几乎成了全世界所有学习钢琴的人们的必学曲目，也是现在很多世界古典音乐名校必须研究的作品。
因为，这首作品大受欢迎，赚了很多钱，他们想研究其中的成功之道。
其次才是，这首作品或许是王谦的证道之路的开端作品，有一定的古典音乐艺术代表意义。
所以，这首作品的销量肯定不会差。
不过，王谦最在意的，还是现在依旧位列第十的华夏民乐器唢呐的演奏曲，百鸟朝凤！ 这首唢呐曲子，到现在还坐稳了第十的位置，销量达到了一亿五千多万，和第九的钢琴曲夜曲拉开了不小的差距了，这也代表着两者的受众有不小的差距。
当然，这是废话！ 华夏民乐器在世界上的受众必然远远不如钢琴。
可是，王谦依旧能以一己之力让这首唢呐曲子传遍了世界。
一亿五千多万的首日销量，说明必然是遍布世界的，这首曲子已经响彻世界，在世界各个角落都有奏响。
周销量必然在三亿以上。
全世界没听过这首曲子的人可能都不多了。
这就足够了。
这对王谦，以及华夏民乐来说，都有重大意义。
王谦的脸上露出一丝骄傲的微笑。
车子稳稳地进入纽约市区，开往茱莉亚学院附近预定的酒店。
麦克斯看王谦没有闭上眼睛休息，轻声说道：“王谦教授，我先和你沟通一下，明天的讲课流程，怎么样？”
王谦眼睛闪过一丝好奇：“哦？什么讲课流程？”
他不是正儿八经的老师，音乐方面也不是科班出声。
所以，他还真的不知道讲课流程是什么样子的。
