Seeing these professional evaluations, Link felt a little happy.

On the one hand, my singing skills have been recognized by professionals, and my ability to perform songs has also made great breakthroughs through continuous training, which is worthy of joy.

Including "LegendsNeverDie", 17 of his songs entered the top 100 during the same period, which also attracted a lot of exclamation.

In the past, fans and the media said that all 18 songs in this album were excellent, and one was as good as ten. Many people thought this was over-praising Link.

"This is a very good album, and Link is one of the most powerful music stars of the new generation."

The remaining ones include Whitney Houston, who was the first singer in music history to sell more than one million albums in the first week.

From this album, 16 songs entered the top 100 of the singles chart, surpassing the record set by The Beatles in 1964 when 14 songs entered the top 100 during the same period.

On the other hand, my semi-original work "therose" is also considered a good song. This is the most gratifying thing, which shows that I am no longer a sourceless water in music creation.

Fourth is Wiz Khalifa's "DealOrNoDeal", which sold 89,000 copies in the fifth week, and the cumulative sales in the United States are 718,000 copies. The sales volume within the year is very likely to exceed one million.

Link also became the first singer in the history of music to have seven songs in the top 10 of the singles chart at the same time, almost tying the record set by the Beatles in 1964 for all the top five.

"LegendsNeverDie" was pulled off the chart by "HereWithYou" after maintaining the top spot for six consecutive weeks, ranking third on this week's singles chart.

The third place is "NeedYouNow" by the pre-war goddess, which sold 97,000 copies in the 14th week, with cumulative sales of 2.02 million copies. It is also the first record to exceed 2 million sales this year.

"The Woman I Love" sold 1.74 million copies in its first week of release, undoubtedly ranking first on the Billboard 200 Album Chart.

On the singles chart, "HereWithYou" is temporarily ranked first on the singles chart.

"GirlsLikeYou", "EverythingYouNeed", "SomeoneYouLoved", "StayWithMe" and "TheWomanILove" ranked second, fourth, sixth, ninth and tenth respectively.

 Jazz star Norah Jones’s “Feels Like Home”, Usher’s “Confessions”, 50 Cent’s “The Massacre”, Lil Wayne’s “Tha Carter III”.

Seventh place is Britney Spears, who released her second album "Oops! IDidItAgain" in 2000, with 1.32 million copies in the first week.

He called this album the best love album in the European and American music scene in the past ten years. The eighteen excellent songs also make this album full of gold. He also praised Link's singing skills for his great progress, and the songs he performed were full of emotions, and the album style is better than the second album. More mature, I think he has taken a big step on the road of music.

There are also the album "1" released by the Beatles in 2000, "Double Live" by country music king Garth Brooks, and "Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water" by the Soft Biscuit Band.

In a recommended article on the homepage of the new issue of "Billboard", editor-in-chief Steven Konop praised Link's album.

After the singles chart was announced, 16 songs from this album entered the top 100, which proved that the previous praise was not an exaggeration.

In addition, the songs in the album have also created many new records in streaming charts, radio on-demand charts, digital music download charts and other charts.

Link doesn’t care much about these records. Records are meant to be broken. As more and more people buy digital albums, distribution companies pay more attention to marketing when selling records, and it will be easier to break records in the future.

For example, in terms of album sales in the first week, Adele's album "25" sold 3.37 million copies in the first week, and in the top 100 singles chart, Taylor's songs will occupy the top ten.

But it will be difficult to break his record of 17 songs entering the top 100 in the same period, because no one will put 18 songs in an album, and they are all good songs.

In addition, his album sells for US$29.50 each, which is almost twice the price of other singers.

With such a high price, he was able to sell 1.74 million copies in the first week, which also aroused heated discussions in the public opinion. All kinds of praises were attached to him, such as the king of pop, the male god, the superman, the golden boy, the king of the music industry, etc. wait.

A minute ago, seeing these exaggerated praises, he would be very stressed and worried about being praised.

Just now, his worries were lifted.

Evaka called and told him the good news that she had obtained the video. Scooter from SBprojects also plans to cooperate with Link Music, and is currently under discussion.

According to Evaka, with the copyright of "Baby", Link Music can get 25% of SBprojects company shares and 45% of Justin Bieber's management contract, but she wants more.

“Eva, you are so amazing. I just asked you to exchange the copyright for the video. Not only did you get the video, but you also got tens of millions of dollars in shares from Scooter. It’s amazing, you are amazing.”

Link praised without hesitation.

"Don't praise me. I've said it before. I'm the manager of the company. It's my job to make the company grow and develop. Your job is to write songs and sing with peace of mind. You don't need to worry about other things. So if you encounter this kind of thing again in the future, Just tell me and I will take care of everything.”

Ivaca spoke in a calm voice, as if she didn't care, but Link could still tell that she was a little proud.

"Yes, you are indeed a great collaborator. Not only do you have outstanding looks, but you also have a smart brain. Do you still remember what I said to you when we first met? I said you are a thoughtful and intelligent person. Women, I have a very good eye for people.”

Link praised.

Ivaca snorted softly on the phone, "Stop flattering me, guess what I'm doing now?"

“What to do? Work?”

“Hmph, I’m watching your **** video.”

Iwaka said with a half-smile.

Link sounded a little embarrassed, "What's the content and who is the heroine?"

“Don’t you know who the heroine is? Could it be that you have had **** with so many women in the dressing room that you can’t even be sure who it is?”

Iwaka asked.

“No! Is it Beyoncé?”

“Beyoncé?!”

There was a clanking sound from the phone, as if Ivaca had knocked something over. After a while, she suppressed her surprise and said, "Beyoncé? When did you get together with Beyoncé? Did she have it?" How dare you mess around with your husband’s wife?”

Link twitched his lips and secretly thought that he had made a mistake. The woman in the video was not Beyoncé and she should not have confessed so early.

He said helplessly: "At the last Grammy Awards, I was changing clothes after my performance, and she took the initiative to walk into the dressing room. When I refused, she called me racist."

“You are such an asshole. No wonder you were so nervous before. It turned out to be because you were worried about being accused of having **** with a married woman or being the wife of your opponent Jay-Z. You are such an incredible asshole.”

Ivaca scolded him.

Link reluctantly accepted, "Eva, it's my fault, so don't be so pretentious. Except for Beyoncé, I don't remember messing around in the dressing room."

“Emma Watson, did you forget London last September?”

Iwaka hummed softly.

"Emma Watson? Impossible. After my game that time, she came in to congratulate me. We only kissed and hugged for a while. There were Harry Potter, Ron the Golden Retriever, and Coach Brooks in the locker room at that time. , How could I mess around with Emma in front of them."

"Are you sure? This video lasts for more than 30 minutes. Someone should have hidden in the closet and filmed it secretly. It doesn't look very clear. The first part is similar to your description. Emma Watson jumped into your arms when she saw you. She was so enthusiastic. Kiss you, tsk tsk, Emma Watson looks quite innocent, but she turns out to be so slutty. You kiss and talk at the same time. Later, you will enter the dressing room together and have **** behind the curtain. Although you can’t see clearly, you can still see it through the shadow. I saw it was messing around.”

“It’s fake. I went out for the interview after changing my clothes. I was in the dressing room for no more than ten minutes. Look carefully to see if there are any traces of editing.”

After a while, Ivaca told him that after the third minute, there were indeed traces of editing. Someone should have re-found the second half that the actors shot in the dressing room based on the first half and edited it into a complete video. , the purpose is probably to defraud money.

“I was nervous for a few days and it turned out to be a fake video. Little Kunas is really a fool. He spent 1 million pounds to buy a fake video and he didn’t even know he was deceived.”

Ivaka smiled.

“I think it’s pretty good, there’s no danger.”

"Hmph! It was a near miss this time, but not necessarily next time. Can you get a room in a hotel next time you mess around outside? Isn't it exciting in the locker room?"

“I know, there’s no next time.”

“You don’t have to promise me anything, I’m not your girlfriend.”

Ivaca hummed and hung up the phone.

Link touched his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief. He had been worried for several days but in the end it was an own goal. However, the British paparazzi were indeed crazy enough, like rats, they penetrated everywhere.
