In September, in the chaos of the "Grey's Anatomy" crew, it slid by quickly, and the major companies in the entertainment industry were surging. , the dark tide is surging. www.)

"Perfume" successfully landed at the 31st Toronto Film Festival, but this time Evan Bell did not go to Toronto to promote for publicity. After its North American premiere at the Toronto Film Festival, "Perfume" once again won mixed reviews, and the debate over the film's protagonist's subject matter stretched from Cannes in May to Toronto in September, and now it seems obvious It will continue to go all the way south, and with the release of the movie, it is burning all over the North American continent.

Instead of going to Toronto, Evan Bell chose to return to 11 Princes Street in New York, where he entered the studio to complete the recording and all post-production for his new album, officially titled "Four."

In 2006, the music market was plunged into its biggest crisis since the 21st century, and the sluggishness of the entire market worried all experts. As of September, in this year's Billboard 33 album charts, there are 21 issues with sales of champions below 200,000, and there are even ten issues that have not surpassed 10 in sales. million threshold.

It's unbelievable to be able to top the Billboard album chart after selling 100,000 copies. This shows the extent of the downturn in the US music market.

However, the downturn in the music market has finally improved after entering September. Beyonce, whose first album has achieved excellent reputation, sales and awards, brought her second solo album and also released the second one. The album's Justin Timberlake also entered the music market, and together with Bob Dylan and Christina Aguilera, the music market in September finally caught the tail of summer and began to liven up.

In the second week of September, Beyoncé's new album "B'Day" sold 540,000 and topped the charts. This is the second-highest number-one album sales since 2006. Although it has swept away the downturn of the whole summer vacation, it is still worrying. After her, the sales of the famous American metal band Sound Slave, Bob Dylan, "High School Musical" soundtrack, Christina Aguilera and other albums have not been able to exceed 150,000, and the downturn remains.

Feeling Back" ended last week with Evan Bell's "This is Love (s.=.ve eight consecutive times, after winning the championship , this week once again won the championship. The song "Return of Sexuality" has been released for four weeks. In the first week, it entered the chart and ranked 31st. After that, it rose at an astonishing speed. In the second week, it ranked 12th. In the third week, it directly replaced "This is Love". next champion. Now that they have won the championship for another week, they really impress everyone. However, compared to "This is Love", the championship result of "Return of Sexuality" is definitely not on the same level. The sales volume of 400,000 can only be said to be quite satisfactory.

After Justin Timberlake, "This Is Love" held on to the runner-up spot, with singles from Fergie, Beyonce, Sean Paul, Little Wildcat and others, and the competition was fierce. Among them, Chris Brown, known as the rhythm and blues genius boy. After setting the record for debuting the first single airborne champion last year, this time he brought the latest single "Say.dbye" to attract everyone's attention, and the results were very good. It was the most-demanding single of the week, peaking at number 39 on the Billboard Singles Chart.

In the third week of September, Justin Timberlake's second solo album "Future.S.e.x/ve.unds" was officially released. Under the preheating of the first wave of singles, the album Not only airborne the Billboard album chart number one, but also created the best single-week sales result in 2006: 680,000. This result is twice that of the runner-up John Mayer album "Continuity" , John Mayer's album is also officially released this week, airborne the runner-up throne, but was still stole the limelight by Justin Timberlake. Last week's champion Beyonce plummeted. Sales shrunk by 70%, ranking third.

Also on the singles chart, Justin Timberlake also won the number one spot for the third week in a row, swept the double chart in one breath, and immediately brought a new look to the decadent and depressed music market.

And Ludacris, who once played the role of Anthony, a tall gangster among two black punks in the movie "Crash," is about to release his seventh album. Ludacris officially debuted in 2000. He gained attention as a southern rapper. He has achieved very dazzling achievements in the rap world. At present, the cumulative sales of albums have exceeded 10 million, including Timbaland, Kanye West, Usher and so on. Big-name producers have collaborated with him many times. Outstanding sales have earned him multiple Billboard titles and two Grammys. So, while "Crash" is famous, Ludacris is really famous as a singer.

Ludacris also joined the competition in the music market in September, with the first single "Nkey. Return" and "This Is Love" are menacing.

Whether it's Justin Timberlake, Beyonce, Ludacris, Christina Aguilera, Fergie, these formidable competitors finally made the music market lively in September, winning the championship for two consecutive weeks. The results all exceeded the terrifying low-level threshold of 200,000.

But here's the news that surprised everyone: Evan Bell's fourth album will be released on Thursday, September 28, the last week of September.

The joy is naturally Evan Bell's fans. The new album that has been waiting for two years is finally released. Since the release of "This is Love" in early July, everyone has been counting the days, especially seeing Justin - When Timberlake and other singers released new albums, Evan Bell's loyal supporters were naturally anxious, and now. All anxiety is over.

The surprise is naturally the major record companies. The so-called "big" are actually Sony Bertelsmann Records and Universal Music. EMI is on the decline, although it still ranks as one of the four major record companies in terms of market share. However, the ability of its singers to win the Billboard sales championship has been very weak, almost negligible, and their real territory has always been in Europe. So, the US music market is basically a competition between Sony Bertelsmann Records, Universal Music and Warner Music.

At the time of the release of "This Is Love", Sony Bertelsmann and Universal Music had already started to inquire about Evan Bell's release schedule. They must avoid Evan Bell's release schedule, and can not repeat the mistakes of Arthur two years ago. The mistake that the kid was blocked and Shania Dunn was killed.

It's fine for small companies and second- and third-tier singers. They will not be affected too much, but will drive their sales because of the boom in the music market, and they will naturally not mind when Evan Bell's album is released. But for big record companies, once the albums they had high hopes for fell short of sales expectations due to a strong collision, it was very hurt. The most direct example was Universal Music two years ago, which suffered heavy losses. The power of Evan Bell's previous three albums has been terrifying enough that no one wants to confront him. Otherwise, it is very likely that the injured person will be himself, and the bad ending must be borne by his own decision-making mistakes.

So, this time Sony Bertelsmann Records and Universal Music have learned their lesson. They have been inquiring about news since the beginning of July, but they can't escape. Avoiding the first three weeks of Evan Bell's album release is acceptable, and try not to confront it head-on.

But what is depressing is that there is no news from even Warner Records. Now Evan Bell is recording the album by himself. After the album is recorded, it will be handed over to Warner Records for distribution, that's all. The publicity work has been taken over by Eleven Studio itself.

At the beginning, Warner Music made a wise choice to give Evan Bell enough [freedom] and strong support, which made their recovery in the music market faster and faster. If Sony had not acquired Bertelsmann Records in time, the current market The No. 1 spot has long been taken by Warner Music. And Evan Bell also reciprocated to Warner Records, although Eleven Studios has a film distribution channel. However, the album distribution channel has not been perfected, so Evan Bell has always handed over all the recording rights of his singers to Warner Records, Taylor Swift, Jason Mayez, Magic Red Band~www.novelhall. com~ has benefited Warner Records a lot.

The only regret is that Warner Records can't grasp the details of Evan Bell's itinerary. Therefore, neither Sony Bertelsmann nor Universal Music have inquired about any news.

Then it was known all over America that Evan Bell was going to make a pornographic movie, and a few weeks later, everyone knew that the movie was called "Wild Survival" because Evan Bell was shot for the film. Stuck in Denali National Park for eleven days.

Now, Sony Bertelsmann Records and Universal Music have all started to figure it out. Since Evan Bell is now shooting a movie, he should not release a new album in a short time. Now there is nothing to watch "This is Love". 's publicity. So, they gradually started to move. Since they decided to avoid Evan Bell, they would rather hurry up than hurry up. At least in August, Evan Bell is still shooting movies, and everything is safe.

But who knows, the "bad news" came before September, and the Evan Bell album was about to be released. Both Sony Bertelsmann Records and Universal Music can't help but wonder if Evan Bell did it on purpose, just because of the incident with the "Grey's Anatomy" crew. Evan Bell is now fighting back. Just cleaned up Disney, and now it's starting to form a head-on confrontation in music, which is really depressing news!
