"Firefly es" was released without much fanfare, Evan Bell just released the music video for the song on utube channel eleven, and then itunes and warner bros released the song at the same time, other than that Besides, there is not much movement.

But even so, how could Evan Bell's every move be ignored?

"Firefly" was officially released at ten o'clock in the morning on June 13th. It was a Wednesday, a day before the village or the store, and "ten o'clock" was also a very strange time, so it was released silently. There is no pre-bedding, and there is no supporting publicity, so it came out like this

In less than 15 minutes, someone discovered the music video of "Firefly" on utube. Since Evan Bell chose a cartoon, some people thought at first that it was a fan who liked this song very much. I made flash animations and the like, and then it was seen by Eleven Studio and I was very satisfied, so I put it on Eleven Channel, but soon, this statement was overturned

The quality of this music video is good enough first, and the level of detail is definitely not inferior to Pixar and DreamWorks. There are five producers listed at the end of the film, one of which is "e.b" and the other is "a.s" Everyone carefully study You will find that the former is Evan Bell and the latter is Andrew Stanton. Secondly, if this music video is made by netizens, there must be reprint information, but the uploader is from Eleven Studio. Official account, without any other remarks

After a heated discussion, someone soon discovered that the single "Firefly" is available for paid download as a single on itunes, and it also has a single cover on it. There is no cover before the single is released, and once it is released, the cover must be hand-painted by Evan Bell. As the official partner of Eleven Studio, it will not be created out of nothing. Upload a copy of the cover. 〖〗 The answer is already ready to go

Then some netizens found the just-released "Firefly" single in a video store in their own city. All the answers have been revealed: Evan Bell's fourth single of the album "Four" is determined to be "Firefly" is on the shelves today

When the news was confirmed, it was actually only 10:30, and at 11:00, the news of this aspect was already circulating on the entire Internet. At 11:03, William Wood of "Entertainment Weekly" took the lead in releasing the confirmation message. , to fully implement this statement

This immediately exploded in Evan Bell's fan base. Although the song "Firefly" is included in the album "Four", many people are accustomed to listening to singles, not albums, They have long been accustomed to looking for songs from the singles chart. As for albums, only a small number of singers they like will really pay attention. This is one of the reasons why major record companies insist on promoting through singles. Compared with an album For ten songs, a single is always easy to lock the point

So soon "Firefly" became a hot topic in the music market in the second week of June. Everyone was talking about Evan Bell's most single, but because there was no deliberate promotion of Evan Bell, he even even radioed It is obviously difficult to create good results immediately, not to mention, the music market has been absolutely lively recently.

Therefore, without any publicity, "Firefly" won 280,000 sales in the first week and ranked 18th on the Billboard singles chart.

This statistic is the worst result of all singles in the first week of release after Evan Bell's "One" was brilliant, not to mention "this is love s.=.ve", "long live life va.la.da" Compared with the singles that sold more than one million in the first week, even the first week of "American Secret bsp;ret" sold 630,000 Evan Bell. , this is the only way to win the championship. This time, "Firefly" didn't even squeeze into the top ten, which is really surprising.

In fact, there is nothing unexpected about the release of "Firefly" without any publicity, radio on demand, TV broadcasts, media interviews, newspaper reports... Nothing and the only way of publicity is the music video on utube. So, although "Firefly" 's music video received two million hits in just three days, but the help in sales is still very limited. What's more, the Billboard charts are based on sales, radio on demand, digital music downloads, etc. Conclusions can only be drawn after calculation

Therefore, it is not surprising that "Firefly" was not able to be parachuted into the championship. On the contrary, it directly ranks in the top 20. This result is still very good.

There is another reason why "Firefly" did not achieve further success, that is, the competition in the music market in June was too fierce, and the top-ranked songs were all in fierce competition, and "Firefly", which was not publicized, wanted to achieve great results, naturally It's harder. A single is different from an album, and Evan Bell's deterrent is not that strong.

In the music market in June, the album charts and singles charts were very lively. The media joked that Evan Bell was here to "join in the fun", and it is very likely that this "bystander" will disturb the whole situation. A mess, making other singers a foil for Evan Bell

Warner Records became the biggest winner in the summer music market. In the first week of May, Linkin Park's four-year-old album "Doomsday Alarm Nutes..ght" was officially released. The album swept the music market as soon as it was released, and the first week was easy. It sold 800,000 copies, which was the highest-selling album in the first week of 2007, even after Jay-z ended Evan Bell's "End Times" album that created sixty-eight The sales figures of 10,000 can be seen from this, and now the appeal of Linkin Park in the American market is

It is also worth mentioning that the sales of "Doomsday Alarm" are almost the same as the sales of Linkin Park's last album "Meteor Temple" in the first week of 810,000. This also shows that although Linkin Park has been away from the music market for four years, it still calls The power has not weakened in any way, which is really good news.

Afterwards, "Doomsday Alarm" won the championship for three consecutive weeks, completed the four consecutive championships and continued to dominate Linkin Park for the fifth week. It was another album released by Warner Records. .n't.be.n.re.ng" This is also the album released by Magic Red after five years

In fact, it is not appropriate to use the word "sniper". "Doomsday Alarm" won the fourth week of the championship with sales of only 190,000, and the pace of chasing behind has been quietly approaching, so Magic Red "Waiting for a long time" This album uses "Transition of the throne" would be more appropriate to describe

When Claire Days learned from Evan Bell that the release time of the Magic Red and Linkin Park albums was very close, he went back to the company to make some adjustments. The Linkin Park album was released two weeks earlier than expected, and the Magic Red band The album was postponed for a week, which is to avoid unnecessary competition between the two sides, but the result was unexpectedly good, without any internal friction, the handover of the championship was directly completed.

The album "Waiting for a Long Time" sold 500,000 copies in its first week. Although it is not as good as this year's record set by Linkin Park, it also beats the record of the Magic Red Band itself. You must know that Magic Red's first album "gives After the re-release of Jane's Love Song, the highest sales volume was only 150,000 copies.

"It's been a long time" achieved the top spot on the album chart, but only for one week. After two consecutive titles, Sony Bertelsmann Records ended Warner's six-week **** of the music market, and R. Kelly's album successfully won the top spot.

But overall, from May through July, Linkin Park and The Magic Reds are not to be underestimated on the charts, with Rihanna, t-n, Paul McCartney, Bonn - Singers such as Jovi launched a fierce competition

Especially the Magic Red Band, after the first album won the attention, the second album did not decline and still won praise, which also made the Magic Red Band and Jason Majez become the representative of Eleven Music. As for Taylor Swift, there is still work to be done After the release of the second single in February, the promotion is at a steady pace

It can be seen that the singers under Eleven Music are creative talents, and the promotion albums and singles seem to be somewhat unhurried, but the quality of the music is unquestionable. Therefore, maybe Eleven Music is not as good as it is. The last eleven productions are splendidly blooming in TV and movies, but they are still an existence that cannot be ignored.

In the album list, Linkin Park's "Doomsday Alarm" and Magic Red's "Waiting for a Long Time" both have Evan Bell's name in the producer column. A doppelganger who joined in the fun, and in the singles list "Firefly" joined this lively torrent without hesitation.

The competition for the singles chart is quite different from the album chart, but the intensity is uncompromising Rihanna, t-n, Fergie, Magic Red, Linkin Park, Avril Lavigne, Justin Timberlake, Tim Balaam... this long list of names, all of which are quite competitive

In this situation, the "Firefly" without any publicity and no plans to be called "to join in the fun" is well-deserved, but no one will ignore this bystander who joins in the fun, because its disruptive strength is absolutely enough make everyone vigilant
