Chapter 264 Some news

The next day, it was a sunny day in Los Angeles again. Because he came back late last night, Link went to bed later, and when he woke up, the sky outside the window was already bright.

“Honey, it’s time to get up.”

“No, I want to sleep for a while, you go and cook first.”

"All right!"

 Link stretched out, put on a T-shirt and shorts, and opened the curtains. The morning light of Los Angeles shone into the room through the window, making it warm.

Seeing that Taylor was still sleeping, he closed the curtains again, did chest expansion exercises, went downstairs and ran for more than ten kilometers on the Gulf Highway, and bought some fresh vegetables and fruits at the Carrefour supermarket in the Gulf.

Back home, Taylor had just gotten up and was still busy in the bathroom.

Link made a breakfast and put it on the table. While eating, he picked up the newspaper on the table and read it.

The Grammy Awards are over, and news about the Grammy Awards is out.

Beyoncé won six out of ten nominations, becoming the singer with the most wins in one Grammy Awards history.

The media also reported and commented on this incident.

Link's second out of eight nominations has become the most controversial topic at this year's Grammy Awards.

According to netizen speculation, the person 50 Cent was about to shoot was most likely Link Baker.

But at this year’s Grammy Awards, she only won two awards, Best Dance Single Record and Best Dance Album.

This is a new record in the history of "Billboard".

The "Hollywood Reporter" also reported an interesting fact. At 11:45 last night, the Los Angeles 911 Center received a police call claiming that '50 cents is going to shoot something.' According to police investigation, the phone number belonged to the famous rapper Eminem.

The same thing happened to Lady Gaga. Since last year, Lady Gaga has become synonymous with fashion, avant-garde, and weirdness. Her songs and herself have become popular all over the world, becoming a phenomenal singer.

Lady Gaga, Kanye, Eminem, Maxwell, Kings of Leon, etc. all won two awards.

For example, Link released a total of 32 songs last year, three of which topped the Billboard singles chart, and 22 songs entered the top 100 of the singles chart, although he is not the singer with the most number one singles. , nor is he the person with the most entries into the top 100.

Other mainstream media also commented on this Grammy Awards with mixed reviews, making this Grammy a very controversial one.

The Los Angeles Times commented that this year's Grammy Awards allowed more young singers to be selected during the nomination process. This is a great progress and also shows that the Grammy Awards will adopt a more open attitude in the next ten years. Newcomers accept the Internet, unlike past generations who regarded the Internet as the enemy of the development of the music industry.

Taylor won four out of eight nominations and ranked second in the number of awards.

In addition to the news about the Grammy Awards, the mainstream media also reported that Justin Bieber, the representative of 50 Cent, challenged Link on the spot, saying that he would compete with him on the pop song chart.

 Jay-Z received three out of five mentions, ranking third.

For such a singer who has achieved astonishing achievements, the Grammy Awards could have adopted a more open and inclusive attitude to accept him, but it did not.

"Los Angeles Times" commented on this year's Grammy, saying, "She cunningly took back the dance steps she took and paced in place."

Link is also the only singer to have five songs on the chart at the same time.

But in the same year, he was the person with the most songs entering the top 100.

This news also adds a **** flavor to the battle between the two sides in March and April.

The above points are good, but the Grammy Awards judges are still **** in the award process and dare not take a step forward and boldly accept new things.

There are also his singles "seeyouagain", "Unstoppable", "GiveMeReason", "Believer" and "lighters", which ranked first, ninth and eighteenth respectively on the '2009 Top 50' list released by Rolling Stone Magazine , thirty-two, forty-five.

Jingle Bell!

Link put down the newspaper, stood up and picked up the charging cell phone.

“Good morning, do you have any good news for me?”

Link sat back on the sofa, crossing his calves and letting the Los Angeles sunshine shine on him.

“No! I have some bad news for you, are you ready?”

Ivaka's voice in the receiver had a hint of morning laziness, as if Olivia's fluffy tail had swept across her face.

“How many?”

Link was a little surprised.

“Yes! According to internal information from the Grammy Awards jury, you were supposed to win five Grammy Awards last night, second only to Beyoncé, but due to external factors, three trophies were canceled.”

“Really? Have you found out who is behind the scenes?”

Link had already made some guesses last night and was not surprised by the news. He picked up the milk on the table and took a sip. "There is a suspect, little Kunas."

“Hate due to love?”

“Don’t be kidding!”

Ivaca said in a calm voice, "One more thing. Since last night, many singers have publicly recommended Justin's "Baby", which has also caused the sales of this single to skyrocket, from 23,000 copies to 28,000 copies. , according to this trend, this song is very likely to top the singles chart this week."

“It doesn’t matter! We also have the championship single.”

Link said while eating bread.

"Don't be too careless. They can hype a song to become a number one single. This shows that the operating company behind Justin is very powerful. It is more professional than our team in hyping songs and promoting singers. This is a powerful We should be more vigilant against our opponents.”

Link nodded, feeling that what Ivaca said made sense.

Singers in the past relied on their ability to become famous. Some people did not sing for ten years and then became a blockbuster.

Many things have changed in the Internet age. A singer's fame relies more on marketing hype, full coverage of exposure, and fans. Judging from the signs of Kanye and Justin's popularity, Scooter from SB Agency is undoubtedly a Marketing master.

“I understand, any other bad news?”

“If you want to hear it, there’s more.”

Ivaca told him some more bad news.

For example, Wiz Khalifa smoked marijuana in the recording studio. Although he promised not to do it again afterward, he felt that his promise was useless.

Also, during the New Year, Mars gambled in a casino in his hometown of Hawaii and lost US$200,000. He was detained in the casino. Later, his assistant used the money to redeem him. Last week, a tabloid broke the news. The link music public relations department spent a lot of money to get rid of this news.

Link touched his forehead after hearing this. Several of his singers were very talented, but they were not very well-behaved people.

 Wiz Khalifa’s gangster number is the ‘God of Gamblers’, and Martian Gomars’ gangster number is the ‘God of Gamblers’.

Lana is a little better. She hasn’t had any problems yet, but it’s only temporary. This girl used to say she wanted to commit suicide in news interviews. Even the album titles were “Killkill” and “Born to Dead”.

All of them are troubled youths.

Given the current situation of link music, with internal and external troubles, it is not easy to survive the competition among peers and become bigger and stronger.

Link asked Ivaca what countermeasures he had, and Ivaca told him to focus on preparing for the Super Bowl and not to think about other things for the time being. Calling him to tell him these things was to remind him to pay more attention to avoid being plotted by his opponents.

Link said he understood.

“Boss, it’s time to go to the art theater to rehearse.”

Anna came in carrying a satchel and reminded.

"knew!"

Link drank the milk in the cup, shouted upstairs, "Honey, I'm going to rehearse," put on his coat and got up to go out.

January 31st is the Grammy Awards ceremony, and February 7th is the day of the Super Bowl. There are only seven days in between. So after finishing the Grammys, Link has to rehearse for the Super Bowl halftime. show.

During the few days he was rehearsing, the competition in the music world became more intense. On the album charts, albums by Qian Po Kesha, Antebellum Goddess, Monica Arnold and others were fighting each other, fighting openly and covertly for the top spot on the weekly charts.

The competition on the singles chart is even fiercer, with Wiz’s “Black and Yellow”, Lady Antebellum’s “Need You Now”, Usher’s “Hey Daddy”, and Kesha’s Justin Timberlake’s “baby”.

These five songs are also No. 1 on the Rap Chart, No. 1 on the Country Music Chart, No. 1 on the Blues Chart, and No. 1 on the Pop Chart.

Pre-war goddess group’s “NeedYouNow” won the title for two consecutive weeks in mid-January, and had a chance to continue to do so.

But after the Grammy, "Baby" was recommended by many star singers, and its exposure increased significantly.

· There are many internet celebrities on YouTube filming videos imitating Justin's dance, which has also brought a lot of popularity to this song. It can also be heard on radio broadcasts, TV commercials, bars and shopping malls, etc.

After the Grammys, the digital sales of "Baby" on the online platform skyrocketed, selling 124,000 copies in a week. It defeated "Need You Now" on the singles chart and became a number one single. Justin also became the youngest person to win a single in the history of Billboard. Champion singer.

For a time, Justin's fame in the European and American music circles has greatly increased, and he has almost become the most popular male singer in the pop music world.

Many media predict that with Justin's current popularity, even if Link can beat him on the singles chart, it will not be easy.

The New York Post also mentioned that Justin, Usher, and Drake chose to release their new albums around the time of Link's third album. Whether Link's third album can break through and achieve good results is still unknown.

Link didn’t pay much attention to these news and focused on rehearsing new songs in the theater.
