Chapter 149

"Extras: Ophelia is officially on the shelves of iTunes and spotify!"

Despite the lack of publicity, thanks to the popularity of oil pipe in recent years, some netizens soon found this exciting news and posted it in the Yahoo community for the first time. The post also mentioned the information of "Cleopatra (arranger version)" and said that "the damned guy, Larry hall, is finally willing to officially record, Now I can finally listen to the full studio version, Jesus Christ. I've been listening to the original version of this song for five months! "

After the post was published, it soon attracted a large number of netizens' hot discussion and pursuit, and speculation about deliberate hype came to the surface again. Brando mania posted a post on the 37th floor of the post

"No matter what his family background is, the objective fact is that he didn't use any resources for publicity. The video of 'Ophelia' is just a bit of excitement on the pipeline, and there is no follow-up report at all." It's been half a year since Cleopatra's upload. It's totally zero resource publicity, just relying on word of mouth.

No matter whether there is strong support behind lanli hall, the objective fact is that, in addition to the two professional music reviews recommended by 'mixer' and 'billboard', it has come to this stage completely relying on the coaxing and attention of netizens. There is no frivolous news, No gossip hype, no radio advertising, and no TV publicity.

No matter how things get to this point, the objective fact is that 'Cleopatra' and 'Ophelia' are really good music. That's the most important thing, isn't it? "

"Brando Mania" post soon triggered a hot discussion among netizens, some people supported, some opposed, some watched the excitement, but on the whole, supporters still had the upper hand, combined with the previous netizens' conclusion, it gradually became the mainstream. After all, lanli is just a new person and has not much discussion value.

However, this little controversy once again fired the heat of the post, and more and more netizens learned that "Ophelia" was officially released.

Just six hours after the single was uploaded, "Ophelia" made it to the top 200 of the iTunes instant download charts!

On the surface, it's just the top 200, and there's nothing to boast about. However, considering that there's no announcement, no notice, no reminder, and no publicity, it's really rare that we have achieved such success by relying on the pursuit of the netizens who play "Sherlock Holmes". What's more, this is just the beginning.

With the spread of the news, the download data of "Ophelia" is rising rapidly with the naked eye, and it has successfully ranked in the top 100 by 3 p.m. - it is only nine hours since the single was uploaded, and this achievement is still going up with a small rocket, which makes people strongly suspect, "When did folk songs start to attract so much attention?"

By 9 p.m., Ophelia had already reached the 14th place on the list of instant downloads on iTunes, and the rising momentum had slowed down. Such a development curve can be said to be incredible. It really shows the powerful power of the Internet era. Without spending any publicity resources, it has achieved such outstanding results, which is really shocking.

At the same time, "Cleopatra (arranger version)" has also attracted countless attention. Compared with the hot effect of "Ophelia", this single is more of a word-of-mouth effect. After all, the single has been in the low circle of the Billboard's single list for two months, so the download data of the single lacks a little explosive power, but it still shows good stamina.

By 9 p.m., Cleopatra's instant download on iTunes was only 64, but by midnight, the single's ranking had risen to 31 - while Ophelia's was still in the 14th place, with no change in three hours.

Of course, the most remarkable thing is the original version of Cleopatra, which was uploaded in March this year. The day after the Emmy Awards, the single ranked the top third in the instant download list of iTunes! The top two are "love the way you lie" by Eminem and Rihanna, and "teenage dream" by Katy Perry.

This is undoubtedly a huge breakthrough, unimaginable breakthrough. Although "Cleopatra" only stayed in the third place for 24 hours and then fell down the next day, it is still encouraging. Now, a week later, with the two newly released singles attracting much attention, "Cleopatra" is still in a rising trend, and even occupies the 49th place in the list of real-time downloads on iTunes.

The outstanding achievements are beyond description. Although this is only a result within 24 hours, the development curve is still unpredictable, but the hot topic within 24 hours, even compared with the famous popular singers, is not too bad. No one can deny that these two singles really made a splash, which can be called a miracle of the independent music class.

In the past few years, many independent singers have released their own singles through new distribution companies such as song CASS, but their performance is very mediocre. In this era of information explosion, without enough publicity support, it's extremely difficult to get ahead. Most of the singles can't even squeeze into the top 200 in the real-time download list of iTunes, Downloads are always in double digits. This shows the dilemma of independent music.

Now, "Ophelia" and "Cleopatra" have made such outstanding achievements due to the chance meeting, which can definitely be regarded as a shot in the arm in the independent music world!

The story is not over yet.

The streaming media data of iTunes and spotify is only one of the many data to measure the success and popularity of music works. The billboard of the United States and the pop music list of the United Kingdom are the wind vane for the comprehensive consideration of music business performance.

The bulletin board of the second week of September was announced on September 6, us time, that is, Monday. Since the single "Ophelia" was released on the same day, the score statistics will naturally wait until the next week, but "Cleopatra", which has been on the list for two months, has become the most popular single this week.

"Cleopatra" last week's ranking is still 89, still hovering at the end of the crane, but this week's ranking took a small rocket, directly jumped to 48, not only became the biggest single in this week's ranking, but also successfully ranked in the top 50!

This is not the instant download charts of iTunes, nor the daily broadcast charts of spotify or tubing. This is the bulletin board of the business composite index. The fierce competition is beyond imagination. In the fierce competition of more than hundreds of single songs, it is a great achievement to celebrate that any single can reach the top 50, Not to mention this is a popular folk song——

In the decade of the 21st century, there are only a few ballads in the top 50 of the billboards. Even Jason mayez is no exception. So far, he has only three singles in the top 100 of the billboard. Among them, "I'm yours" has created countless records, and the 76 week stay record that people are fond of talking about is just the time of "staying on the billboard list", and the highest single ranking is only the sixth, And then you can't go any further.

This is one of the best commercial ballads of the past decade.

Now, "Cleopatra" is once again among the top 50 billboards! What's more, it has broken all the shackles - no music videos, no physical albums, no supporting publicity, no radio shows, even no record companies and distribution companies. This miracle is simply amazing!

Although only 48, still caused a stir.

From no one's interest to popularity, from unknown place of origin to focus of discussion, "Cleopatra" has come out of a development curve that can hardly be copied. Under the outbreak of favorable weather, people and location, Cleopatra has made a way out. All of a sudden, the craze for folk songs seems to have revived a little bit again, but how long it can last and what height it can reach is unknown.

Langley hall, the new actor who just made a big splash at the Emmy Awards, made a big hit as a folk singer on the billboard, and the focus around him suddenly increased. Reporters began to look for Lan Li's information, but it surprised everyone——

have nothing at all.

Reporters and netizens have found that the only advantage they have is that they have learned the basic information of lanli, such as height, weight, age and so on, from the actors' Union. In addition, they have confirmed a question: lanli is a Londoner. In the end, the background information of the new man began to show some outlines, but there was nothing else.

In the Internet age, all people's information is exposed in broad daylight, almost unable to cover up, even ordinary people are like this, the "human flesh search" of the network is so powerful that it is frightening, let alone the public figures living under the spotlight. Now, a mysterious figure like Lan Li suddenly appears. The information and experience can't be found at all. It's incredible.

Journalists feel humiliated - even if netizens can't find it, they are professional information collectors, and they have inside information, and they can't find it. It's a shame. As a result, the fire of gossip among journalists began to burn. Quietly, Lan Li became the target of many people.

Then, on Thursday, September 9, it arrived.
