Chapter 267 Horrible Sales: The Girl Group Goes Big This Time
Music Online, the largest music platform in Europe and the United States.
Dreamtime's first album was sold on this platform, but the sales were not very good.
Now, the second album is here. Compared to the first album, this album is all English songs, which is more in line with the aesthetics of European and American people.
Dream Generation now has some fans in Europe and the United States. Although their fans are not as many as those of the more powerful singers in Europe and the United States, they are still well-known. After all, many European and American men still prefer Korean girl groups.
Especially people like Jiang Yunze, who are most in line with the tastes of Europeans and Americans.
So after the album "Nobody" was released, there were still many European and American fans who bought it.
However, after listening to this brainwashing song, many people were also brainwashed by it. This song is really magical, and some other songs are also quite good. When choosing songs, Su Yang studied for a long time and chose some songs that are relatively famous in Korea and popular in Europe, America and Japan.
These songs drove sales of the album "Nobody" up on online music platforms. This surge piqued the curiosity of even more Europeans and Americans. Driven by curiosity, many people clicked on the album to listen, and many European and American audiences were captivated by the songs.
As the cycle continued, the sales of "Nobody" continued to rise. On the popularity charts, the popularity of the song "Nobody" also soared.
Seeing this achievement, countless Dream Era fans were excited. This was especially true for Korean and Chinese fans, who went over the Great Firewall to access music platforms to support Dream Era. This was especially true for the Chinese fans, who were known for their many insane actions.
Once upon a time, a young idol in China released a song that was not even worthy of being on the stage. However, this group of crazy fans pushed it to the top of the music online sales charts, causing quite a stir at the time.
Now, Dream Era's appeal is equally strong. Korean fans and their Chinese counterparts are joining forces to make a fuss. This has led to a rapid surge in sales for Dream Era's album, and the popularity of the songs within it has also skyrocketed.
However, this time, because the quality of the songs was very good, many European and American audiences were surprised, but after listening to these songs, many European and American audiences were satisfied.
Then, a miracle happened.
The next night in Europe and the United States, the album "Nobody" unexpectedly rushed into the best-selling list of European and American music albums. In almost 24 hours, the album's sales on online music exceeded 10 million. This result shocked many European and American singers.
Although it is an electronic album, it is unprecedented that a Korean girl group's album has such sales on music online.
This album was priced at $19.90 on Music Online. Selling over 10 million copies in 24 hours is incredible. $200 million in sales in 24 hours is truly incredible.
This sales volume is already comparable to that of top singers in Europe and the United States.
This achievement also thrilled both Korean and Chinese fans. They had put in an incredible 24 hours, and especially on the Korean side, many official fan clubs had even chipped in out of their own pockets to raise funds for the chart-topping effort.
The Chinese diehard fans also contributed significantly; of the tens of millions in sales, these people probably bought around 7-8 million copies. The rest came from European and American audiences.
But the charts don't consider these things; they focus on real money. Even if the artists pay for it themselves, they're happy to do so. After all, the platform's cut remains constant.
The results were incredible, and this incredible result was immediately reported back to South Korea. Upon seeing this news, the Korean people collectively went wild.
"Dreamtime expands internationally, with the album 'Nobody' entering the online music bestseller chart..."
"Nobody" is very popular in Europe and the United States, and its single has entered the top three in popularity..."
"The pride of the Republic of Korea, DreamWorks is the nation's super group..."
"DreamTimes has officially entered the European and American markets, making a significant impact internationally..."
"The rise of a global super group, Dream Era, is the pride of the Korean nation..."
The Koreans are best at self-entertainment. They'd fake their own results even without them, let alone the fact that they actually had them. They were all even more enthralled. While they were enjoying themselves, they also organized everyone to go to Music Online to support Dream Times, hoping to help them achieve even better results.
Some Korean netizens even clamored to make "Dream Era" a legend on Music Online and to break the sales record of Music Online.
The national self-esteem of a small country with a small population should never be underestimated. Sometimes this self-esteem can burst out with powerful fighting power.
So, someone started a Hero's Expedition campaign on the Korean Internet, and it quickly gained support from many Koreans.
The activity is very simple, that is, to use our own meager strength to elevate Dream Era to the altar and make Dream Era the top international superstar group.
To use a quote from the event: South Korea has 52 million people. If each person buys one album, that's 52 million copies. If each person buys ten, that's 520 million copies.
At $19.9 per ticket, ten tickets only add up to $199. For Koreans with relatively high incomes, this amount is not a lot.
Under this call, Korean fans took action. And the Chinese crazy fans also joined in. Many fan clubs took action and started to pay out their wallets to support Dream Era again.
"Fuck you..."
In the villa, Su Yang was stunned upon seeing this. Who the hell initiated this? This was completely beyond his expectations. Taking advantage of the fragile national pride of the Korean people to fleece them was simply outrageous.
Once this campaign is launched, it will not only lead to a surge in sales on online music platforms, but also on other music platforms.
This is no longer just fleecing the sheep, the sheep have been slaughtered and their bones have been stewed into soup.
Su Yang picked up the phone and dialed Tang Qing.
"Hey, did you arrange that in Korea?"
Su Yang asked directly.
"Hahaha, isn't it a surprise? Come on, praise me! I spent a lot of money to build momentum. Since we're going to do this, let's go big. Maybe this will be the last time..."
Tang Qing said excitedly. Hearing Tang Qing's words, Su Yang sighed. Sure enough, such an action would never become a trend without someone behind the scenes fueling the flames.
However, Su Yang had to admit that Tang Qing was really cruel in playing this trick.
"You're not afraid of being exposed anymore."
Su Yang couldn't help but say.
"What are you afraid of? Can we get our money back if it's exposed? We didn't force them. It's a mutual agreement. You'd be a jerk not to make money, especially from Koreans..."
Tang Qing was very open-minded. Su Yang swallowed and agreed with what Tang Qing said.
Damn, that's the truth. Who the hell is giving money to someone? If you don't make money when you have it, you're a jerk. Besides, even if you want to rip off domestic fans, you can't.
Su Yang knew the character of the Koreans very well. They had done too many shameless things over the years. He could earn some interest by cheating them like this.
Even if it is exposed in the future, it doesn’t matter. Maybe it will make Koreans afraid of girl groups for ten years.
"Damn it, once it's exposed, I'll release more Korean singles. I'm going to use my strength to make you guys conquer me..."
Su Yang couldn't help but imagine the future. If the girl group incident were exposed, he would face the challenge head-on. Conquering them with his strength would definitely be a great feeling.
After hanging up the phone, Su Yang directly climbed over the wall to enter the Korean Internet and joined in the fun.
Not only that, they also exposed some gossip and scandals about several other girl groups, adding fuel to the fire.
An album by Dream Era created an unexpected trend. Even many uninformed Koreans were drawn into it, and some even bought the album without realizing it.
An ordinary artist's chart-topping campaign actually turned into a full-scale event. This kind of thing can probably only happen in Korea.
In this atmosphere, the performance of the album "Nobody" began to rise to the sky. In the Korean market, this album swept all major Korean charts.
Whether it is the popularity chart or the sales chart, etc., this album has swept the charts at an unimaginable speed.
In the Japanese market, the Koreans, fueled by national pride, also tried to increase the charts, and only stopped when they pushed the album to number one.
In Europe and the United States, whether it was online music, other music platforms, or charts, the charts were dominated by Dream Era fans. This action, which started as an individual action, eventually became an organized and planned one.
It's like a war, topping this chart and that chart. Not only do they increase sales, but they also increase popularity, comments, and so on.
Some places can do it for free, but sales and other things must be bought with real money. Even posting comments requires a membership. When it comes to cutting leeks, these capitalists in Europe and the United States are better at it, and the routines are one after another.
Su Yang felt a little embarrassed to see you selling leeks like this.
This time, the cut was too harsh.
Things were brewing and actions were continuing. In just five days, the album "Nobody" achieved results that were unimaginable to ordinary people.
In just five days, the album "Nobody" officially surpassed 100 million in global sales, becoming the best-selling album in Korean history.
At the same time, this album swept all major charts, including the Korean charts, the Japanese charts, the Southeast Asian charts, and even the European and American charts were slaughtered by this group of people.
In the words of the organizers, the Taegeukgi is flying across the globe. This is a great victory, not only for the DreamWorks era but also for the Korean people. This victory is a milestone achievement for the Korean music scene. This victory will be etched in the honor roll of the Korean music scene.
Such a result made Tang Qing gasp in surprise. At this moment, she also realized that she had gone too far this time.
