Chapter 307 Sister A Ariana
Link looked at the album sales of other singers during the same period.
Antebellum Goddess' new album "NeedYouNow" has sold 2.43 million copies in the United States, temporarily ranking second among albums released in 2010.
Justin Bieber’s “MyWorld 2.0” sold 1.86 million copies in the United States, ranking third.

Usher's "Raymond vs. Raymond" sold 900,000 copies in the United States, ranking fifth.
Wiz Khalifa’s “DealOrNoDeal” ranked sixth with 880,000 copies.
The new albums of Lady Gaga and Drake are also approaching Wiz Khalifa at an extremely fast speed and are expected to overtake him next week.
There is another good news this week.
Eight months after its release in the United States, singer Lana Del Rey's first album "Young and Beautiful" under Link Music has sold more than 1 million copies, becoming a true platinum album, with cumulative global sales reaching 3.26 million copies.
The results of the first major were very good.
Bruno Mars' debut album "It\'sBetterIfYouDon\'tUnderstand" has sold 920,000 copies in the United States and is expected to break through platinum sales in October.
Selena's first album "Come and Get It" has cumulative sales of 940,000 copies in the United States and is expected to reach platinum status by the end of the year.
However, in addition to the good news, Link also saw some bad news from newspapers and magazines.
First of all, his reputation was ruined.
Before the private video was exposed, he was considered the most perfect man in the European and American music scene, a white lotus that emerged from the mud but remained unstained, 'the cleanest and healthiest male star in the entertainment industry', and 'the best quality youth idol'.
After the exposure of private videos, he broke up with Taylor, stayed with supermodel Doutzen Kroes, and dated Marion Cotillard, Emma Watson, Jennifer Lawrence in Paris, etc., his reputation was gradually lost to the media. Stinky.
European and American media called him a playboy, a "degenerate Link", a big player in the entertainment industry, etc.
Now whenever he says a word to an actress, the media assumes that he has an affair with her.
Link argued that no, he was innocent.
The media didn’t believe it at all.
After being labeled a ‘scumbag’, serious girls in the entertainment industry began to be wary of him.
For example, Kristine, once Link joked on the phone and asked her if she wanted to be his girlfriend. Kristine refused directly, saying that she didn’t want to fall in love with a scumbag.
Also Emma Roberts said she was warned by her parents and aunt to stay away from him.
And the less serious girls in the entertainment industry are actively moving closer to him.
Amanda Severis, Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton and others often call and harass him, send some strange photos, and ask him to comment on which set of underwear is sexier.
This situation makes Link a little helpless. As a serious person, he prefers to make friends with good girls, but now that his reputation has been ruined by the media, it is not easy to find a good girl as his girlfriend.
Dong dong dong!
“Link, everyone wants to hear you sing, why don’t you come out and sing one?”
James opened the door and walked in and asked.
“There are too many reporters, so it’s not convenient.”
“It doesn’t matter, we will block those reporters.”
Daniel and Reggie also squeezed in to talk.
Link thought for a while, it would be a good idea to go out and sing a song.
There are thousands of people outside, all of whom are fans or potential fans. Singing here can be regarded as an act of favoring fans. After being reported by the media, it is also a positive news.
Since being involved in scandals, I also need some positive news to reshape my public image.
Link agreed, stood up and took off the guitar from the wall, but suddenly remembered that it was a guitar given by Taylor, and felt uncomfortable again for no reason. If he hadn't broken up with Taylor.
“Link! Link! Link!”
When he stood at the door with his guitar on his shoulder, more than a thousand tourists on the beach roared loudly, and dozens of reporters and paparazzi took pictures outside the crowd.
Link waved his hand, carried his guitar, plugged in the stereo, and walked into the crowd. Surrounded by Wallace, James, Reggie and others, he sang three songs on the beach pier.
The first song "Despacito" is an indispensable song for performances in Miami Beach. Since it was sung by Link in 2008, it has quickly become the best-selling and most popular dance song in the area and can be heard in the streets and alleys of Miami.
The second song is "Girls Like You", a song originally released by the American pop band Magic Red in 2018. After its release in March, it topped the Billboard singles chart for three consecutive weeks and also topped the Billboard singles chart in 12 countries including the UK, Belgium and Australia. Took number one on the singles chart.
The third song "HereWithYou" is also an upbeat song, considered a happy version of "YoungAndBeautiful", and topped the Billboard singles chart in the first week of May.
It is also the third number one single from the album "The Woman I Love".
Some fans want to hear him sing "LegendsNeverDie" and "GiveMeReason".
Link naturally didn’t agree. Singing this kind of song would be too taxing on his voice, and he would only sing it at concerts with more than 50,000 spectators.

While Link was singing and dancing in the crowd with his guitar on his shoulder, a large number of fans drove over from afar in cars. Within half an hour, the promenade was filled with cars.
The Palm Beach County Police Department had to send people over to divert traffic and maintain order at the scene.
“Frankie, come on!”
On the promenade, a petite girl with a long ponytail jumped out of the car, looked at the lively crowd on the beach and Link singing in the crowd, and said excitedly, "It's true, Link is really here. "
“Ellie, slow down, don’t run so fast, and you forgot your album.”
Frankie Grande stopped the car and saw his sister running down impatiently, so she had to catch up from behind with the album in hand.
The Grande brothers and sisters are also from Miami. After hearing about Link's party on the beach, they immediately drove over. However, they arrived a little late. There were too many people on the beach, ten floors inside and ten floors outside. They could only stand on the periphery and watch Link singing from a distance.
And Ariana was too petite. She could only see a little bit while standing on the outside with her feet on her feet. She rolled her eyes, took the album from her brother's hand, squeezed the crowd and walked inside, shouting "Everyone please let go" as she walked. let'.
She was sweating and finally managed to squeeze into the front row, but the performance was over. Everybody is applauding and cheering.
Link waved his hand, thanked everyone, and prepared to leave.
“Link, can you give me an autograph?”
Ariana ran forward with the album, but before she could reach Link, she was accidentally knocked to the ground by an audience member. Her face and hands were covered with sand, and the album box was stepped on.
“Hey! Everyone, spread out, someone fell down here, don’t step on anyone.”
Before Ariana could get up, she was gently pulled up by a pair of strong hands, and she smelled a nice fragrance.
"Are you OK?"
Hearing the person in front of her ask, Ariana blinked in surprise and saw a handsome face, deep and bright eyes, a tall and straight nose, and a gentle and humble curve at the corners of her beautiful lips.
is Link.
Seeing the big star Link so close at hand, Ariana couldn't help but her heart was pounding. She originally had a lot to say to Link, but she couldn't say it for a while.
“Can you move your legs and feet to see if they are injured?”
Hearing Link's words, Ariana moved her legs and feet stupidly without any problem.
“Are you my fan?”
Link asked as he picked up the album from the ground.
“Yes Mr. Baker, my name is Ariana Grande and I really like your song.”
Ariana said excitedly.
She is also a native of Miami, Florida. She is 17 years old this year. Because her family has good financial conditions and she likes music, she has been performing on stage since she was seven or eight years old. When she was 14 or 15 years old, she went to Broadway in New York to develop her career. She also played an important role in the Broadway musical "13" .
When Link released his album in March, she attended a performance in New York. Because she was too busy with work, she went to buy Link's album a day late. She found out that it was sold out. The store owner lent her the album. She didn't buy it until three days later. arrive.
She likes the songs in this album very much, and she also likes Link very much.
Today I saw the news about Link in Miami on the Internet, and immediately came to Palm Bay Beach to visit him.
“Miss Ariana Grande?”
Link was about to sign an autograph for the other party when he was a little surprised when he heard the name. When he first saw the other party, he thought she looked like Sister A. When he heard the name, he realized that it was indeed the other party, the future European and American music queen Ariana Grande, but The image is greener and sweeter, with baby fat on the face.
“Yes, Ariana Grande!”
Ariana spelled out her name.
Link smiled lightly and signed the album box, "For Miss Grande who fell on the beach - Link Baker".
Ariana couldn’t help but smile when she saw it.
“Mr. Baker, I also like singing. My dream is to become a singer.”
“Really? How about singing one here?”
Link said as he handed the album to the other party.
"it's here?"
Ariana said in surprise.
“Yes! Let me see how you sing.”
With Link's encouragement, Ariana took over the guitar and came to the pier to sing a song called "Unstoppable" by Link.
This song has a relatively high melody, which tests the singer's ability to sing. However, Ariana's singing skills are good. With her traditional vocal skills and Broadway-style singing, sometimes sweet and sometimes high-pitched, she gives this song a different flavor. .
After finishing singing, Link clapped his hands. He was worthy of being a singer at the level of a future music diva. He was indeed very capable.
The surrounding audience also clapped and cheered, and many people shouted for an encore.
Ariana sang "Everything You Need" again, which also aroused cheers from the audience.
After the performance, Link told Ariana that her singing skills were very good and her acting skills were also excellent. If you have the idea of becoming a singer, you can try Link Music and gave her a business card.
Ariana agreed excitedly.
You must know that Link is considered to be the golden touch in the music industry. All singers who are favored by him have platinum qualifications.
Getting his recognition is the best compliment and the greatest encouragement for a person who dreams of becoming a singer.
Ariana looked at Link almost infatuatedly.
“Hey, Ellie, why did Link let you come up and sing?”
Ellie’s brother Frankie walked over from the crowd and looked at Link’s back and asked in surprise.
“Of course it’s because I’m a good singer.”
Ariana took Link's business card, kissed it, and placed it carefully in her wallet.
"Ellie, I think you should be careful, Link is a playboy."
Ellie’s brother Frankie reminded.
Ellie rolled her eyes at him, "Link is my male idol, just like Nicole Kidman and Anne Hathaway that you boys like. If they praise you for your acting skills, they will give you a business card and ask you to go to their company." As an artist, would you be careful about them?”
"meeting!"
Frankie said without hesitation.
Ariana rolled her eyes before remembering that her brother didn’t like girls.
