Chapter 272: A Song That Became a God: The Record-Breaking "Baby"
Almost overnight, the streets and alleys were dominated by a song.
Many young people hum this song while walking. The lighthearted and cheerful tune directly brainwashed young people. Whether in China, Europe and the United States, or Japan and South Korea, the song "Baby" quickly became popular and quickly landed on the charts of major platforms.
The song has been trending strongly on platforms such as Billboard, Music Online, and Music Bank. In just one day, the song topped the singles charts of major music platforms, and even soared to number one on the singles charts of many countries.
This result stunned Chinese netizens. They were all ready to try to increase the charts, but before they even started, the song exploded. Looking at the popularity, it's entirely driven by local fans in these countries.
With this popularity, the sales of this single also soared rapidly. The performance was much better than the original version, and there were many reasons for this.
First of all, the market. Compared with the original version, the current electronic album market is more mature, larger, and less pirated.
Secondly, Su Yang's singing is better and more magnetic. Finally, Su Yang is very handsome, sings well, looks good, has a good figure, and coupled with a more mature market, the performance of this song is much better than the original.
"We're still 50 million sales away from Song Dazui's live broadcast..."
Fourteen hours after the single's release, Su Yang made a hilarious Weibo post. Seeing this post, countless Chinese netizens nearly burst out laughing. Su Yang was now arguing with Song Dazui. But looking at the results, netizens were gloating.
Song Dazui has always had a foul mouth, biting anyone he dared to bite. He's a notorious scumbag in the entertainment industry. After being disciplined by Su Yang last time, he behaved himself for a while. Now he's become arrogant again, and it looks like he'll fall into Su Yang's hands again. In just fourteen hours, the single's global sales exceeded 50 million, breaking another world record.
It also broke the record set by "Nobody", which shocked European and American netizens. In such a short period of time, the Asian music scene has seen such fierce results. Is this because of hormones?
Although both "Nobody" and "Baby" are very good, this result is too exaggerated. There are singers in Europe and the United States who have sold over 50 million singles, but it takes a long time for those singers to achieve such sales.
Now it’s the turn of the Asian music scene, why has it changed?
Su Yang wasn't surprised by this result. After all, China had a huge population, and it just happened to hit this crucial point. This result was nothing. In China, it was normal for a single released by a rubbish actor to sell over 10 million copies.
The energy that can be unleashed by the Chinese market is terrifying. Especially in recent years, China has attached increasing importance to copyright, so the entire market has become increasingly terrifying.
"It's really a big profit..."
Inside the villa, Su Yang looked at his popularity points, a smile on his face. He hadn't expected a single song to garner so much popularity points. It seemed the system was supporting his international expansion; the price per unit of popularity in the international market was surprisingly high.
In just one night, I actually gained tens of millions in popularity points. It was so cool. It seems that I need to hang out in the music industry more in the future. As long as the songs are good enough, I can make money and gain popularity quickly.
However, Su Yang also knew that luck played a big role in achieving such a result this time. If it weren't for the fact that Dream Era was so popular, and if it weren't for the fact that Chinese netizens couldn't swallow this anger, this single would definitely not have performed so well.
"What kind of expressions will these people have when they learn about the Dream Age?"
Su Yang couldn't help but laugh. Suddenly, Su Yang realized that this kind of thing seemed to repeat itself endlessly. He would release a song that surpassed Dream Era, and then South Korea would be unconvinced and praise Dream Era's new song. Then he would challenge Dream Era again. Damn, with this cycle, the Korean brainless fans would dig up the ground.
However, Su Yang knew about this and could only think about it. This time, he also cut the leeks of his own fans, and he couldn't cut these leeks carelessly. His base was in China, and his fans still had to be pampered.
Su Yang is definitely considered a conscientious singer in China. He has written and sung so many songs, but this song is the first single he has ever released that has sold well.
Although he had an album before, it was very cheap. Two yuan was not as much as the price of this single. Since the release of that album, Su Yang has sung many more songs.
Su Yang didn't sell these singles on music platforms. He just let everyone listen to them for free. So, as the saying goes, everyone owes Su Yang the money for an album, and it's not a loss at all. This is why so many fans supported him this time.
"I'm still 30 million away from Song Dazui's live broadcast..."
"I'm still 20 million away from Song Dazui's live broadcast..."
"I'm still 10 million away from Song Dazui's live broadcast..."
Although the sales of this song slowed down in the next two days, as the popularity of the song spread, the sales still maintained a very high growth rate.
Coupled with the support of countless Chinese fans, the global sales of this single finally exceeded 100 million 71 hours after its release.
In just three days, the single sold over 100 million copies, breaking a new record. The Dream Era record only lasted a week before Su Yang's single stomped it underfoot.
"Fuck, Brother Yang is so awesome! He made over 100 million in three days. Fuck, fuck..."
"I'm so excited I can't even express it in words. Damn, so cool..."
"I contributed a portion of this. Even though it's only one, it still counts as support..."
"Brother Su Yang is so handsome, so handsome..."
"Hahahaha, just waiting for Song Dazui's live broadcast..."
"Hahaha, I'll leave a message for Song Dazui to see when he's going live..."
"Fuck, yeah, which platform is he live streaming on? Whose food is he eating? Is it hot or cold? Big or small? How many bowls did he eat?"
"Brother Yang feels wronged, he stepped on the Korean hero directly..."
"Hahaha, who isn't a hero..."
Fans were thrilled when Su Yang announced the 100 million-sales figure on his Weibo post. Global sales exceeded 100 million in just three days. Even though it was just a single, this achievement was truly incredible. China hadn't seen such a phenomenal singer in years.
Some time ago, they had been envious of Dream Era's achievements and felt aggrieved. Now, Brother Yang had given them a gift.
Dream Era is awesome, but Brother Yang is even more awesome. You broke 100 million in five days, Brother Yang broke 100 million in three. And real sales account for more than half of Brother Yang's achievement.
Pride! At that moment, Su Yang became the pride of countless Chinese netizens. This pride was the pride of achievement. It had been a long time since an English single had achieved such success. With just this one English single, Su Yang had established himself on the international music scene.
"Su Yang's single hit broke 100 million in three days, breaking the world record..."
"One song made him a legend. 'Baby' sold over 100 million copies in three days. Su Yang is loved by European and American fans..."
"Sweeping major European and American charts, singer Su Yang's single set a record..."
"A rising star in the Chinese music scene, Su Yang's single sales exceeded 100 million in three days..."
After the results were released, many media outlets around the world reported on Su Yang. The European and American media were curious about Su Yang, initially thinking he was just a simple singer, but after investigating, they discovered that Su Yang's life was full of legends.
The story was so compelling that European and American media outlets, seeking traffic, all started gossiping about it. Especially the gossip media in Europe and America, which were even more groundless, leaving European and American netizens dumbfounded by all the gossip news.
In some European and American gossip newspapers, Su Yang was a poor boy from the slums who met his princess. With the princess's encouragement, he gradually showed his talent.
Love stories are always popular with everyone, and these European and American media have long mastered the traffic code. They describe Qin Shuyao as a princess and Su Yang as a frog.
Then the princess rescued the frog and the frog turned into a prince.
This story is full of European and American romanticism.
The age difference between Qin Shuyao and Su Yang might seem like an old cow eating young grass in China, but in the European and American entertainment circles, it's not even a big deal, it's even considered a good thing. Forget about the entertainment industry, just look at the French family's wife, who's already a mother and shows off her affection.
"Su Yang Oppa is so awesome..."
"Yes, yes, I really like this song by Su Yang Oppa..."
"Look at Su Yang Oppa, and then look at Korean men, how shameful..."
"Fuck, you brainless fans, are you Chinese or Korean..."
"We are Korean, yes, but art knows no borders. Look at what kind of trash Korean men are..."
In South Korea, when Su Yang's results were reported back to South Korea, South Korean women's rights groups started to stir up trouble again, praising Su Yang for his handsomeness while taking the opportunity to ridicule Korean men. This has become their routine, as they have found that this routine is particularly effective, and every time it makes many Korean men vomit blood in anger.
Su Yang’s single became a hit, exceeding 100 million yuan in sales in three days.
This result is good news for Su Yang, Qingyao Media, and many Chinese netizens.
But for Song Dazui, this news nearly broke him. Damn, this is such a slap in the face. Especially after seeing the comments and private messages in his Weibo comment section, Song Dazui almost wanted to die.
He thought this result would be difficult to achieve, but he didn't expect that in just one week, Su Yang's face would be swollen.
At this moment, Song Dazui could only play dead. Live streaming was impossible. Fortunately, Su Yang didn't force him to do so. He could just play dead for a while, waiting for netizens to forget about it before resurfacing. Now Song Dazui could only hope that netizens had a bad memory, otherwise his future would be difficult.
