On February 14th, Valentine's Day, Evan Bell's third single from the album "Four", "American Secret..." was officially released

Every time after attending the Grammy Awards, Evan Bell seems to habitually release a single, on the one hand because he performed the "" song at the Grammys, which is bound to attract the attention of fans; on the other hand It is also because the Grammy Awards is the best publicity platform. After each awards show, all the albums and singles of the winners will set off a small ** with an increase in sales.

The 19th consecutive championship of "Long Live Life..." came to an end in the second week of February. The one that replaced "Long Live Life" as the champion was "Irreplaceable", which completed the tenth consecutive year before. Beyonce's song is also considered to be It is a classic masterpiece. Because of the encounter with Evan Bell, he had to accept the tragic fate of being with him for ten consecutive weeks. However, after "Long Live Life" won the championship for 19 consecutive weeks, it finally showed a decline and slipped down from the championship list. Listeners who hadn't noticed "Irreplaceable" before started buying the single, and "Irreplaceable" completed its historic moment

When the Billboard singles chart was announced in the second week of February, the media said it was a historic moment. Beyoncé's "Irreplaceable" single actually completed a reversal after being No. 2 for ten consecutive weeks. It is so rare to finally be crowned champion in eleven weeks, it almost makes people "tear in tears"

"Irreplaceable" successfully wins "Long Live" Jua, Nelly Furtado's single "Just say it now...Cheat boy single "This is not a virtual scene, this is an arms race...American Idol" 4th place in the 5th, Chris Dotry's single "It's Not Over... No. 2 to 5"

And after the Grammys in the third week of February, Evan Bell released the single "American Secret" again, which became a force to be reckoned with on the Billboard charts.

It is worth mentioning that this time, there is also a DVD of Evan Bell's "first" world tour, which makes Evan Bell's fans all rejoice in the "first" world tour. It has been more than seven months since the end, and everyone has been eagerly waiting for the release of the DVD, but Evan Bell has never heard any news. Release, which is really good news for fans who have been waiting for a long time

Especially when Evan Bell has just won three comprehensive gramophone trophies and accumulated his Grammy trophies to 21, "American Secret" and the concert DVD have a special meaning for fans, no people will be willing to miss

The single cover of "American Secret" has left many people a little confused. The white cover is painted with a tangled red thread. One end of the red thread is tied with a golden key, while the other end is tied with the words "American Secret". On the last letter "t", the red line is not spread out, but chaotically shrunk into a ball in the middle of the picture. The cover of the entire single is clean and tidy, and it has a confusing sense of mystery.

But for Evan Bell's fans, every time to decipher the meaning of the sketch on the cover of Evan Bell's single is a pleasure in itself. This time, everyone's interpretation of the cover of "American Secret" took a while, because The meaning of the red line comes from China, which is a relatively unfamiliar area for Western culture, and then when I learned that the red line represents the marriage line, and combined with the lyrics of the song, the meaning of the cover came out on the paper. span

Compared with the concise but long-lasting cover of "American Secret", the cover of the "First Time" World Tour DVD is much more gorgeous. A spotlight hangs above the cover, shedding golden light, making the whole The cover is shrouded, and the whole frame seems to be taken from the stage screen. You can see the scaffolding with spotlights hanging directly above, and you can also see that the lights gradually fade from the strong golden color, and finally merge with the red stage below. At the same time, on the lower side of the stage, you can also see the vague backs of the audience in the center of the lights. The scribbled words "First time, Evan Bell" are presented in hot red, and they are dancing in the line of sight.

The DVD is a large box. When you open the box, you can see that it is in the form of three discs, including two discs in the first and second half of the concert, as well as a picture taken by Evan Bell himself during the entire tour. Those holding the camera included Teddy Bell, Eden Hudson, members of the Outlaws and Evan Bell himself. The video in this regard was never made public by Evan Bell before this. The parts that have been uploaded on uTube have been removed, it is definitely worth saving

Compared with other singers, Evan Bell's concert DVD is actually very simple. There is no promotional album, no concert accessories, just a poster. From a business strategy, it is attractive to the audience. It's on the decline, but Evan Bell believes that the real essence of the concert is actually the performance itself. The concert area has already been sold on the spot. As for the album and poster, he has never been interested in it, even if it is attached to the album. There are not many hard photos given, so for a long time, there are not many official publicity hard photos of Evan Bell

But even so, the DVD of the "first" world tour has not weakened its appeal to everyone. Just relying on the name "Evan Bell" is enough to attract the interest of countless people.

"American Secret" and "First Time" concert DVDs were released at the same time, and the music market in the United States was immediately surging.

"American Secret" took advantage of Evan Bell's performance at the Grammy Awards, and achieved sales of 630,000 in one breath. Compared with the above, it is naturally incomparable, but the sales volume of 630,000 is an unmatched figure for many competitors.

"America's Secret" unquestionably landed at number one on the Billboard singles chart, becoming the third number one single from the album "Four"; , Nelly Furtado's "Speak Now" finished third, Beyoncé's "Irreplaceable" slipped to third, and "This Is Love" leaned on Evan Bell's Grammy-winning momentum , sales climbed again, and came to the fifth position. Evan Bell once again reproduced the strong situation of the top five occupying three seats.

In fact, it's hard to see the Grammy's influence on the Billboard singles chart. The list that truly reflects the Grammy's appeal is the Billboard album chart, and the album sales of singers who are highly recognized at the awards ceremony are shown in the list. There have been various increases including "2007 Grammy Nominated Album", Kenny Belle, who won the Best Man of the Year nomination, Justin Timberlake, Southern Chicks, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Mary-Bridge, Kay The album sales of Leigh Underwood, John Mayer and others have all seen a sharp rise. Among the top 30, more than half are Grammy nominated or even awarded singers.

Among them, Evan Bell's name undoubtedly appeared on the list, and the album "Four" still showed the first place after the album "Afterlife" by Jay-Z ended its 16th week. With strong strength, he won the championship for two weeks on and off. Now, with the power of Grammys, he has once again launched the competition for the championship of the Billboard album chart. The number was increased to nineteen, and finally another victory was won in the subsequent competition, which locked the number of "four" championship weeks at the number of twenty.

The feat of "Four" and "American Secret" on the double list at the same time is jaw-dropping

Subsequently, "American Secret" locked the number of weeks it stayed on the championship at the number "three", and was finally dismounted by the new generation rapper Akon, "American Secret" won the championship for three weeks before and after, the first The cumulative sales in one month exceeded 2 million copies, and now it can be determined that there is bound to be a place for "American Secret" on the year-end single sales chart this year.

However, compared to "Long Live Life", "American Secret" is still not enough to watch. After "American Secret" fell from the championship position, it slipped directly to the runner-up position, and lost to Gwen Stephanie's "Sweet" Escape... And "Long Live Life" is still tenaciously ranked as the runner-up It seems that after "Long Live Life" completed its hegemony in 2006, it continued to be strong in 2007.

It is worth mentioning that, after "American Secret", the fifth place is Avril Lavigne. This rock elf once again announced her return. The song "Girlfriend... Detonated the entire music market and aired in the first week of its release." The fifth place, the results are remarkable. Obviously, this time Avril Lavigne has returned to work again, and it is also very strong, but I don't know how durable it is, we can only wait and see.

The song "American Secret" Evan Bell did not shoot the corresponding MV. Under this situation, he won the championship for three weeks and successfully stayed in the top ten for a long time. From this perspective , Evan Bell's strength in music is indeed very terrifying. The first classic, this sentence sounds like nothing, but the meaning behind the words is very amazing.

Compared with "American Secret" and "Four", which have repeatedly achieved good results on the singles and album charts, people have become accustomed to it; but the success of the "First Time" tour DVD on the DVD sales chart had to be let down. people look sideways

I wish you all a happy red envelope collection, ha RQ
