For the four members of Youth With You, what they care most about is definitely the evaluation of domestic audiences, especially fans.
Tang Yue took the lead and summarized the public opinions in her lurking fan group:
"In addition to our fan group, there are also fan groups of Liu Xihe, Luo Chen, Ma Nuowei, Gao Yanyan, etc. I visited them all."
Su Yin was stunned, thinking she heard a strange name. "How could there be Gao Yanyan? Putting aside how you managed to sneak in using a secondary account, I thought his fans wouldn't read our stuff."
"How is that possible?" Tang Yue raised her lips and said proudly, "I really think that as long as you are in China and often go online, it will be difficult to avoid us. And just because Gao Yanyan doesn't like us doesn't mean that all his fans do the same."
"Is there really someone in his group who's a dual-fan?" Lin Xuan'er asked worriedly. She was concerned about the safety of the dual-fan. "I happened to see some comments from their fans on Weibo before, and they were quite malicious towards the four of us."
"I don't know about that," Tang Yue raised an eyebrow. "Anyway, I just saw our music video mentioned in the group chat, and everyone seemed quite happy chatting about it."
"So what did they say?" Wang Xingrui asked anxiously. She was very concerned about music.
"It's amazing how many positive reviews there are! Some people even said Gao Yanyan's company shouldn't be more careful; their fashion shoot isn't as polished as our music video."
"I understand," Su Yin said seriously, "They're using us to pressure the agent! But they all gave positive reviews, which means everyone still approves of us."
"Yeah." Tang Yue said with a smile: "Let's not talk about the fan group. They are all praising it. There is nothing new. Overall, everyone can accept this unconventional style. I am quite surprised."
"It probably fits the song better," Lin Xuan'er said seriously. "After all, the song has that vibe to it. And Latin America is quite mysterious to most people in our country!"
"Now let's see the overseas feedback!" Wang Xingrui immediately asked Zhou Yiyang on WeChat: "Brother Yang, how is the overseas response to our MV?"
"We're aiming for a record," Zhou Yiyang said, his surprise having faded, and he remained calm. "I've discovered that the biggest advantage boy and girl groups have over singers isn't their live performances, but their music videos. Because there are so many people, and idol groups are generally very good-looking, the resulting videos are much more visually impactful than just the singers."
It was not until the next day that Zhou Yiyang received the playback data from different regions on Youtu.com.
Not to mention Latin America, the song's first-day play count was second only to the World Cup theme song. In Zhou Yiyang's opinion, this was already an incredible achievement.
The number of views of Gaoli is much higher than Zhou Yiyang imagined. It seems that Koreans have no resistance to girl groups.
The same is true in Japan, where the number of views is very high, but the number of viewers is relatively small. Liu Fenfang analyzed that this is probably the result of many otaku fans watching repeatedly.
The results in the US region are even higher than Zhou Yiyang’s best prediction.
Liu Fenfang couldn't pinpoint the specific reason. After all, the music video didn't touch on sensitive topics like LGBTQ+, black people, or religion, so what was the viral moment? She could only speculate that it was due to the large number of Latin American immigrants in the United States.
With such strong playback volume, people are even more curious about what position "Havana" will reach on the Billboard chart this week.
After a day of training, Wang Xingrui opened a website dedicated to discussing Billboard.
"I know this website," Tang Yue explained to Lin Xuan'er and Su Yin with her vast knowledge. "The people there blindly admire American music. In their eyes, what our singers sing isn't music, it's garbage."
"So extreme?" Su Yin became interested. She wanted to see if such a strict website would be breached by their performance this week.
Lin Xuan'er stood behind Wang Xingrui and took a look, only to find that the content on the homepage seemed different from what Tang Yue had said. "I'm not trying to be whitewashing, but it seems like quite a lot of people on the homepage are looking forward to our results this week."
Tang Yue blushed and immediately leaned down, making Wang Xingrui feel as if her head had hit the pillow. "It's really soft... No, I mean, this homepage changes so quickly! Last time I checked, they were all fighting over the results of 'stay'!"
"Maybe it's because the song is different?" Su Yin speculated. She asked Wang Xingrui to click on the most popular real-time tracking post, and sure enough, she saw a lot of comments. "I noticed that they think highly of our song."
"Looking at it this way," Tang Yue pursed her lips, not sure whether she should be happy or not. "They're not stubborn, they still look at the quality of the song itself."
"It may also be that the quality of our work this time is so high that they can't even use double standards." Lin Xuan'er couldn't help laughing when she thought of this possibility.
At this moment, there are many people both at home and abroad waiting for Billboard updates.
Fortunately, the official website did not delay the update this time and updated the list directly on time.
Out of modesty, Wang Xingrui first looked at the top ten to twenty people and found that they were not there.
Then she looked from tenth place forward and first saw "stay", which had dropped to seventh place.
"Brother Chen and the others' stamina doesn't seem very optimistic." Su Yin commented in real time.
"Or maybe they don't have a follow-up live show." Lin Xuan'er seemed to have guessed this long ago. "I even asked Brother Yang about it, and he was very scathing, saying that their live show might have a negative impact."
"We seem to be in the top five." Wang Xingrui said in a daze, completely stunned.
"Let me see!" Tang Yue said excitedly, almost lying on top of Wang Xingrui. "Ah, third place! Still a little short!"
"There's nothing we can do," Su Yin said, still very satisfied with the result. "Without the radio, we're fighting them with one hand crippled."
"Don't forget, we still have the live show!" This third-place finish seemed to ignite Lin Xuan'er's fighting spirit. She curled her lips and said seriously, "After our live show next week, I don't believe the points won't go up!"
"As long as Xiao Xiao Su and I don't fail," Tang Yue clasped her hands together as if praying, "there will definitely be no problem!"
After Zhou Yiyang finished looking at the list, he first congratulated the four of them, and then opened the data compiled by Guan Fei.
This is the change in the ratings of the Victoria's Secret Show over the past decade.
Putting aside the online broadcast volume, TV ratings are declining year by year.
Fortunately, the topic has been maintained well, but there was a slight decline last year.
If the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show continues to decline this year, can their performance still turn the tide?
