Chapter 376： 2 album sales

Under the buying frenzy of "Two" and "Tianguang" in major cities in the United States, the frenzy of comments from professionals in the music industry also followed!

"It's a ten-song album with no flaws!" "The New York Times"

A one-sentence comment, representing the mainstream view of the media.

At present, Evan Bell has released three singles "Better than Hallelujah", "Don't Leave" and "Stubborn" Needless to say, "Never Walk Alone" by Evan Bell and Linkin Park is even more famous One of the most chorus songs of 2002. "Never Walk Alone" is not only 2

001's two most popular newcomers collaborated, and it's also a high-quality rock song that is highly regarded.

The remaining five songs released for the first time are "Top", "Tonight I Want to Cry", "Bad Day", "Desperate", and "Remember in My Heart". Each song is supported by professional music critics. . Maybe radish and greens have their own preferences, and each music critic has their own preferences, but these five songs have their own fans, indicating the high quality of this album.

"Rolling Stone" commented "The best album of the 21st century!" Beyond the Beatles' 2000 hits, Linkin Park's debut album, and this year's strong return of Amy Namie. The album has become the highest-rated album of "Rolling Stone" since it entered the 21st century.

"Rotation" believes that "Evan has perfected his self-breakthrough and created another classic that even he himself can't surpass!" In the comments of "Rotation", they thought "two"

All ten songs on this album have the level of being the title track of other albums, and now they are gathered in one album, so that the quality of this album is small.

"Magazine" focused its attention on the change of music style... First, this album sang Evan's rock slogan "Second, this album challenged the pop and rhythm and blues style, but still performed strongly. Evan is in In terms of music style, he roams freely, which highlights his lack of business, and also makes people amazed at his talent." The main style of "One" is still rock, and "two" in this album Only "Tianguang", "Never Walk Alone" and "Stubborn" are rock genres, and the other seven songs are all pop and rhythm and blues styles, which is also the biggest surprise brought by the album "Two".

The opinions of the independent music magazine "URB" represent the attitude of most independent musicians in the United States. They believe that Evan Bell has proved that independent musicians can produce amazing music, even because of the varied and rich styles of music. And it deserves more attention from the mainstream media. Because of the rise of Evan Bell, America's attention to independent musicians has reached a new height.

This time "URB" will naturally not miss the comment on "Two" "Excellent! Classic!

Unsurpassable! "As succinct in magazine style, all the credit goes to Evan Bell.

The reviews of "Mixer" are relatively calm, as sharp and sharp as they are, but for the release of the album "Two", it is really difficult for them to be more critical. "If you are a country, jazz hobby If you are interested, then "Second, this album may be just an ordinary album for you: but if you are interested in rock, pop, R&B and miss it" Second, this album may be a regret. You may Won't like the whole album, but at least find one of your favorites."

Compared with last year's "One" album, there are still a lot of critical voices. This time, the criticism of "Two" almost disappeared. "The Sound of Music" played the role of pouring cold water again after "One". There is no doubt about the excellence of the album. However, the media's rush to pursue it seems to be full of intrigue. There is no previous series of time. "Second, it can only be said that it is outstanding, and it is still a long way from the classics. Even if it cannot be denied that "Tianguang, it's outrageous, but compared to the fuss of the media, it still makes people feel that it is exaggerated."

Although the "Sound of Music" did not deny the excellence of "Two", they still treated the media rush of praise with relative calmness. The fact is also true, just as Leonardo DiCaprio faced a flood of praise after the "Titanic" that year, but too much praise made him fall into misfortune. The media has always been the best at doing this, building a castle with countless compliments and putting artists on it. But in the colorful entertainment circle, the twists and turns of this castle are far beyond imagination, and the result is to ruin a rising star.

Therefore, the relatively calm voice of the "Sound of Music" in the midst of the applause, although it was drowned and almost invisible, at least showed that someone was awake. Just as awake as Evan Bell himself!

Driven by "Tianguang", the album "Two" scored an average of 8.7 points in the music reviews of 76 media, becoming the highest rated album since the 21st century, which made people look at it.

Since 2002, Amy Nam has returned strongly with a new album at the end of May, and won the first place in the album sales chart on the first day of its release. At present, the album sales have exceeded 7 million. Nam has already secured the No. 1 spot on the year-end album sales charts ahead of schedule. But, in October, Evan ※ Bell produced, two…

It was born, and under the dazzling light of "Sky Light", it launched a jaw-dropping sales journey.

On October 9th, "Two" sold 180,000 copies on the day of its release. This achievement was second only to Amy Namum's astonishing 280,000 copies among the first-day sales of the album released in 2002. The "two" strong impact.

Since the sales of digital audio sources have been merged into the physical albums for statistics, the strong appeal accumulated by Evan Bell on itunes has played an incomparable role.

It sold 400,000 copies in the first week of "Tuesday", and was parachuted to the No. 1 spot on the Billboard album sales chart. This is Evan Bell's second number one album.

Last August's "One" and "Tonight Tonight" both topped the Billboard US Albums Chart and Singles Chart in the first week of September: "Two" and "Tian Guang Zhe" again this October at the same time No. 1 on both the Billboard album and singles charts, tying the record set by the soundtrack of the 1978 film "Saturday Night Fever", and becoming the second consecutive Billboard album in 24 years. , Singles and double chart champion singer.

Of course, this is just the beginning.

In the second week, the sales of "Tuesday" did not drop but rose. After the sales number soared to 560,000, it won the gold album sales and once again won the championship of the Billboard album chart. The sales volume of "Tuesday" in the third week rose again. After winning 580,000 sales, it continued to win the championship with a continuous upward trend.

The sales curve of the album "Two" is a bit confusing. Sales are increasing week by week. As word of mouth spreads, it seems that more and more people are buying physical albums. This is very different from the normal album sales curve. Amy-namme's album "The Amy-namme Show", which has sold more than 7 million copies, achieved an astonishing double-platinum sales of 2 million in the first week, and then won the championship for five consecutive weeks, and the sales naturally continued to decline. Go, but in the end the cumulative sales exceeded 7 million. But the sales curve of "two", the energy in the first week was not high, but it continued to rise after that, making people confused.

In fact, this is understandable. Although Evan-Bell's name is already "a household name", he is strictly speaking a newcomer. "One" has sold more than 6 million, but more young people are buying albums. His music popularity is definitely not as powerful as it is now. as described as grand.

Five years after Amy Nam's debut, "The Amy Nam Show" is his third album, and the success of the previous two albums has also brought him the title of "the first white rapper", which made the early years The album had to be released in advance due to serious leaks. This shows what the public expects of him.

Therefore, Amy Namum's album is very in line with the purchasing power of the American music market, full of explosive power and lasting power. Although it can’t compare to the huge energy of 3 million sales in a week in the Japanese record market, there are still countless albums that sell more than one million in a week in the US market, and the US music market is more durable and often able to sell For a few years, it has created astonishing sales figures.

When the album "Two" was released, there were so many people who paid attention, but more people just watched the fire from the sidelines, waiting for feedback from music critics and ordinary song mí, and then decided whether to buy it. To put it simply, Evan-Bell's music reputation does not yet have a strong purchasing power, just like the box office appeal, no matter how good Evan-Bell is, the musical appeal still needs time to settle.

This led to the high sales of "Two" with the spread of word-of-mouth and with the spread of "Tianguang", the world-stunning work. Not only the second and third week "Tue" sales have been slowly rising, UU Reading continued to the sixth week after the "Two" was released, and still created 720,000 sales, ranking for five consecutive weeks champion. In the seventh week, the upward momentum was finally buffered, but the sales volume of 690,000 still made "Two" the champion.

The strength of "Two" is no less than the sweeping trend of "Tianguang" in the singles chart. "Two" stayed at the top of the Billboard album chart until the end of 2002. Champion attitude ushered in the first ray of dawn in 2003.

Eleven weeks before and after winning the championship, also made "two" the longest album in 2002 to win the championship. Such a presence is not inferior to the publicity of the "Amy Nam Show", and will 2002

The music market at the end of the year is completely lit.

The album "Two" and the single "Sky Light" became the most dazzling presence on the Billboard charts into the fall.

Evan-Bell's second-year music performance is amazing.

Evan Yibel, a young man who was not doing a proper job, continued his life of "challenging Qin Muchu" in the eyes of everyone in surprise. ! .
