hiss.
Upon seeing this, Aikun couldn't help but gasp.
I felt a chill rush up my back, and my whole body felt cold.
For a fleeting moment, she felt as if she were in Liu Wei's shoes, and a surge of excitement rose within her.
This made her quickly shake her head, dismissing the unrealistic idea from her mind.
Then, she lowered her head and continued reading.
“Some people might say that this is too arrogant, but I can assure you that it is not arrogant at all.”
"Before explaining the reasons, I would like to put Ai Kun's fourth question together."
"Because in my view, the underlying logic of the two is actually the same."
"To prevent some fans from forgetting Ai Kun's fourth point of contention, I'll repeat it here."
Ai Kun's fourth question: "If Zhou Tianyi is so talented, why are there no songs by him on any of the major music charts?"
"In the comments tagging me and various private messages, I found that most people use rankings and sales volume as the criteria for judgment."
"Whether you think original works or derivative works are more popular is measured by sales volume and ranking on major music charts."
"In that case, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. I'll analyze it from the perspective you're most familiar with. After all, only by defeating the enemy in their area of expertise will they be truly convinced."
"As everyone knows, it's almost impossible to see Tianyi's songs on the charts, because there are hardly any of his songs on the current charts."
"After all, these are old songs from seven or eight years ago, or even ten years ago. It's normal that his songs aren't on the charts of major music platforms now."
"But that doesn't mean there aren't any of his songs on any charts."
"At least, in my opinion, there are two very important charts that definitely feature his songs."
What is it?
"I'm not going to keep you in suspense any longer."
"These two lists are called the 'Annual Listening Chart' and the 'Annual Sales Chart', respectively."
"Unlike many other charts, these two charts are available on every music platform."
"Their statistical methods also differ from other lists, as they are based on a yearly basis."
"The annual listening chart, without a doubt, is exactly what it sounds like: the number of people who listened to the song within a year."
"The annual sales chart is the number of people who spent money to buy this song within a year."
"Compared to other lists, these two lists are more authoritative because they cover almost the entire internet."
"Now that I've said that, let me take a breather. The second half will be released soon."
It came to an abrupt end.
It's like being in the middle of pooping when it gets abruptly cut off—it's very uncomfortable.
If Ai Kun was like this, then others were even more so, and the comment section instantly erupted.
"I've already taken my pants off, and this is what you show me?"
"I thought the number of chapters was already outrageous enough, but you actually divided it into two parts."
"Awei, listen up. One day, when I have a knife in my hand, I will slaughter all the 'broken chapter dogs' in the world."
Kun Kun's core fan group.
"I don't think I've ever heard of either of the lists Liu Wei mentioned."
"Aren't annual lists usually released at the end of the year? What does this have to do with what Liu Wei is trying to say?"
"Does anyone have last year's annual list? Please find it and share it with everyone."
Aikun was a little uneasy. She searched for the two lists online, but the internet did not provide clear lists, only the definitions of the two lists.
It's similar to what Liu Wei said, but the introduction is a bit more detailed.
Just as Ai Kun was about to continue his search, Liu Wei's Weibo was updated again.
"Hehe, I'm back. I said I'd take a break, and I did. I keep my word."
"Without further ado, let's continue."
"We were just talking about the annual listening charts and sales charts. To be honest, not many people know about these charts because they are industry-specific charts."
"I don't know if anyone has searched for these lists while I was resting. If you have, you'll find that they are very difficult to find."
"But it's okay, I've already found it for you. It took me a lot of effort to find it."
"The link has been attached. You can watch it yourself. I guarantee you'll be stunned after watching it."
"For fans who don't like clicking in to read, I'll just give a brief explanation."
"Last year's sales chart had thirteen songs by Tianyi, but after checking, I found that the songs listed in Part Three were not as good as the original songs."
"The One Centimeter Difference sold 1.3 million copies annually, while Nocturne ranked fifth with 2.2 million copies sold annually."
“The Lament of Parting” sold 1.07 million copies in a year, while “Fireworks Fade Easily” ranked 20th in annual sales, with 1.69 million copies sold in a year.
"The annual sales of 'Intoxicated' are 700,000, while 'Romantic Love' ranks 50th in annual sales with 880,000."
"Three popular online songs were completely crushed by Tianyi's original works. What is this? This is true strength!"
"If that still doesn't prove anything, then keep looking at the annual listening charts."
"Looking at the top 50 songs on the annual listening charts, you can look around and find Zhou Tianyi's name almost every few songs."
Do you know what this means?
"This means that even after ten years, his works are still popular!"
"This means that even after ten years, his songs still crush viral hits!"
"This means that for the past ten years, he has single-handedly supported half of the Chinese music scene!"
"I know that even after seeing this, some people will still question it and think that my list is fake."
"What I want to say is, don't use your ignorance as an excuse for being foolish."
Do you really think that only Weibo users listen to music? Do you really think that only you like listening to music? Do you really think that only people your age listen to music?
"Have you ignored the other 700-800 million, or even more than 1 billion users?"
"Are they really not here?!"
"If these two lists still can't shut you up, I have another list here."
"This is the most popular song chart officially released by Apple Mobile, which is equivalent to the music listening chart."
"Nine of the top ten songs on this list are by Zhou Tianyi, and twenty-seven of the top thirty songs are by Zhou Tianyi."
"Forty-five of the top fifty songs are by Zhou Tianyi!"
"Even if ten years have passed, if he doesn't step down, who would dare to take his place?"
"If he calls himself the second best in the Chinese music scene, who dares to claim the best?"
"Who dares to claim invincibility before him?"
“I’ll tell you—”
"No!!!"
The last two words, filled with heroic ambition, stirred the blood of countless netizens.
"Great! That's fucking brilliant!"
"The annual listening chart and the annual sales chart—after looking at these two lists, I felt my scalp tingle. Is this something a human could actually do?"
"It is precisely because so much time has passed that seeing this list now makes us realize how terrifying Zhou Tianyi is even more."
"Is he really that good? It's not a question, it's an unbelievable feeling."
The entire Weibo community was abuzz because of this article.
