Chapter 276： First day sales released

Chapter 276 first day sales released

“Hey, Eva, Anna said you wanted to see me for something?”

The street scene outside the car window kept changing. Link was lying on the armchair of the nanny car, crossing his legs and holding another phone to call the company's housekeeper.

"Yes, Mr. Lover, let me tell you some good news. Distributors in 38 states have called and said that all records are expected to be sold out in three days and require replenishment in advance. The distributor in New York State announced three minutes ago The first batch of 35,000 records on the shelves have all been sold out. In addition, the online album has sold 52,000 copies, ranking first on various digital platforms. The specific news has been posted on the Link Music Twitter account. You can check it out when you have time. "

Ivaca said in a brisk tone.

Hearing her voice, I can feel that she must be in a good mood now.

Link smiled softly and asked her why she called him the Great Love Sage. In English, there is also the word Love Sage to describe an infatuated person, but adding the word "big" feels like irony.

Ivaca didn’t tell him the reason, but just mentioned another thing.

Link Music Company encountered some difficulties in promoting this album. The planning plan proposed by the publicity and distribution department was not novel enough and could not influence mainstream public opinion, which made her very dissatisfied.

 Ivaka asked him if he had any hype plans in the near future. After all, he is a master of hype.

Link is helpless. Since his debut, he has only participated in a few hype games. Many of them were forced to fight and became popular for no reason. It is not that he likes hype.

“Of course it’s because of you, you are my muse, I can write when I see you.”

Think about it, Mr. Baker, selling one million copies in the first week. What a beautiful number this is. It will also be a huge honor in your career. Don’t you want to get it? "

Ivaca said calmly, with the tone of a domineering president.

“You don’t have one either? The current sales of the third album are very good. The distribution department predicts that the sales volume in the first week will be around 800,000 copies. If the publicity and promotion are better, there is a great hope of exceeding one million copies.

Taylor asked.

“No, I am the president. My job is to select talents to do things for me, not to find things for myself to do. If I need to do this kind of thing myself, why should those people in the company do it?”

Link talked about his strategy.

Link shook his head, picked up another cell phone and looked at it. He found that there were no calls or text messages from Taylor. After thinking for a moment, Taylor should have left the recording studio at this time, so he called the phone.

"Really? Why can't I write a single song when I'm with you, but you can write so many good songs when you're with me? Tell me quickly, are you dating me? To write songs?”

Ivaca hung up the phone directly without saying goodbye.

But now even Ivaca thinks that he is good at hype, which makes it hard for him to argue.

“Sounds interesting, you can give it a try and wait for my good news.”

Ivaca listened for a while and asked in surprise: "What is the structure of your brain? How could you come up with such a strange operation?"

“Well, I have a half-baked idea.”

In March, "Business Weekly" included Evaka's name in the list of 'Outstanding Female CEOs Under 40 in 2009', which commented that she is a woman with both beauty and talent.

Ivaca said in a seductive tone of voice.

"Last time I was shopping on Rodeo Drive, I saw a beautiful woman fall to the ground, and all the brand-name cosmetics in her bag fell out. Taylor said those things are worth more than 100,000 US dollars. I think we can learn from it and use it to promote our record. What do you think?"

Link joked.

“You are a business elite and the 28th best female CEO under the age of 40. Don’t you have a good idea?”

Tyler quickly picked up the phone and asked him when he would go home. What was he doing on the phone at this time?

Link asked her if she had listened to the songs on the album? how do you feel?

“Very good, how did you write these songs?”

  If he had heard her speak in this voice before, Link would most likely have stiffened his lower limbs, but he is almost immune now.

“Why do you have such an idea? Don’t forget, you taught me how to write songs.”

“Hmph! I can’t teach a disciple like you. Every song is so good. How do you want me to record a new album?”

Taylor said with a sour tone.

“Haha, you are so awesome. You started writing songs when you were ten years old. You have already written thousands of songs. You can definitely write better songs than those in this album, right?”

“Of course, I will never lose to you. Come back quickly. I want to hear you sing to me live.”

“OK! Wait for me in the bedroom.”

“Smelly pervert!”

Link shrugged his shoulders and hung up the phone.

On the first day of release of "The Woman I Love", 82,000 digital albums were sold on online music platforms, while offline physical records, according to data compiled by distributors in 42 states, were 186,000.

These two figures add up to 268,000 copies. There are still eight states that have not been compiled, indicating that the sales volume on the first day was more than 260,000 copies. In other words, "The Woman I Love" sold more than 260,000 copies in the United States on the first day of its release, which is more than 10,000 copies higher than last week's best-selling "myworld2.0".

When the first day's data was announced by Link Music on Twitter, it caused a great sensation in the music world, and major online media also forwarded reports.

When they first saw this data, many people didn't believe it. According to this data, Link's third album sales in the first week have a high chance of exceeding one million copies, and there is no singer who can sell one million copies of his album in the first week. Not the king and queen of the music world.

How can Link, a new singer who has only debuted for more than a year, be able to do this?

Not to mention that this album is extremely expensive. One album is as good as two others. Multiplying the price by 2 on the basis of 260,000, the album sold more than 500,000 copies on the first day.

too exaggerated.

This is a number that even the top music stars like MJ, Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, and Beyoncé cannot achieve.

Link did it.

There are many people who suspect that Link Music is brushing data.

Since the rise of the Internet, online sales have also been included in total album sales, which has provided a convenient platform for brushers, which has also led to distortion of the data of many albums and singles.

For example, Justin's two albums. Since last year, many news have questioned Justin's record company data fraud, but Justin does not care about this statement. Brushing data is also a way of publicity and promotion, and it is also a marketing tool, which is in line with business operations. Rules, so no need to be ashamed.

So Link’s data may also be fraudulent.

But this suspicion only lasted for less than two hours. Link Music updated the first-day sales of "The Woman I Love". Online sales were still 82,000 copies, but the total sales in 50 states became 224,000 copies.

The total sales volume became 306,000 copies.

Link Music also announced the sales performance rankings of distributors in each state below.

The New York region sold 54,000 copies on the first day and deserved the first place. The California region sold 42,000 copies on the first day and ranked second. Florida unprecedentedly rushed into the third place with 31,000 copies sold on the first day. Pennsylvania and Tennessee States, Washington DC ranked fourth, fifth and sixth.

After this data was released, many doubters also shut up. Although online sales data can be falsified, it is not easy to falsify data from distributors in various places.

Distributors have a neutral existence with record companies and singers. They do not belong to a specific record company, and they will not help the record company sell some unsold unsalable goods for nothing.

How many records a distributor sells and how much share they earn depends on how much tax they need to pay.

Fake this kind of data and you’re asking for trouble.

And are the local sales data released by Link Music Company current?

It’s impossible!

Distributors will not agree to this operation.

So Link’s third album sold 224,000 copies offline. Based on the ratio of 3:1 or 4:1 between offline and online, the online sales volume of 82,000 copies is also a normal figure.

After the doubts disappeared, the voices discussing why this album was so successful became noisy again.

Some people think that Link is famous and has many fans. He is a world boxing champion, a movie star, a top singer, and has more than 20 million Twitter followers. If one hundred people buy one, he can sell more than 200,000 copies.

Some people think that the first and second albums are of high quality. The first single "All of Me" is a classic, and his singles such as "Legends Neverdie" and "See You Again" are also of high quality.

Produced by Linke, it must be a high-quality product.

Fans believe in Link's work, so when he releases his third album, they will enthusiastically support it.

However, more people believe that the reason for this album's success is that the quality is high enough. None of the 18 songs are junk works used to fill the numbers. Each one has a chance to reach the top of the singles chart.

There were even many fans arguing over which song in this album sounded best. These fans were divided into more than ten teams, each team supporting one song.

The songs are so popular that it would be strange if they couldn’t be sold.

Not to mention that big stars such as Lady Gaga recommend Link’s songs online.

Based on this situation, 300,000 copies sold on the first day does not seem to be a particularly large number.

After the first day’s data was released, Link’s third album became a hit in the music industry, and many media forwarded and reported the news.

Mainstream media previously predicted that the album’s U.S. sales would be around 1 million, but now it seems like a joke.

Many people thought that Link’s third album might not be able to beat Justin’s “myworld2.0” in sales this week, but now it seems that it is also a joke.

On the second day after the release of "The Woman I Love", online sales dropped to 75,000, but offline physical record sales increased to 248,000, with total sales reaching 323,000 on the second day.

A total of 629,000 tickets were collected in two days!
