The fourth update today, please recommend, please subscribe!

On the top of the 2008 year-end single sales chart, Evan Bell has no doubt completed the album and single double chart for three consecutive years. Evan Bell's unique situation in the North American music market has made Competitors have lost their confidence. This kind of dominance is actually a good thing - especially the situation of Eleven Music's overall rise, at least it can make other singers realize that as long as the music is good enough, there is hope For the first time, this is good for the entire music market.

However, since the release time of Evan Bell's new album was selected at the end of the year, the singles hit the charts across the New Year. Take "Twenty-One Shots as an example, although it won the 12th of the Billboard" Consecutive championships, but only five consecutive championships were won in 2008, and the remaining seven consecutive championships were won after 2009, so the sales figures on the single sales charts are not as shocking as those on the album charts. It can be predicted that in 2009's year-end music statistics, Evan Bell is bound to make a big splash again.

"Twenty-One Shots" won the year-end single sales championship in 2008, and joined forces with "Five" to complete the double chart dominance. Although its championship results were not as dazzling as in previous years, it created a record in nine weeks. The sales of 4.7 million still let people see Evan Bell's instant explosiveness and amazing staying power.

The biggest rival for "Twenty-One Shots" was another single from Evan Bell, "The Fighter, a song that was loved by countless fans in the 2008 Super Bowl, although more than half a year had passed since its final release. , but it was still warmly sought after by the audience. In the end, "Fighter" achieved sales of 4.63 million in 2008, behind "Twenty-One Shots" by a very small gap, and unfortunately was the runner-up.

This is also Evan Bell, following the 2006 "Long Live This is Love" that dominated the year-end singles chart, once again occupied the first and second place in the singles chart, laughing proudly.

After Evan Bell. Flo-Rida's "Low(w came in at number three with 4.5 million sales, which is obviously a lot smaller than the album chart. Gotta make Flo-Rida one of the top singers in one fell swoop.

Lianna Lewis' "Blood Love" Alicia Keys' No One Lil Wayne's "Lollipop(p, Republican Age's "Apologize(ze, Jordin Sparky "No Air" by Jason Mraz's "I Am Your Chris Brown" together occupied the bottom seven spots of the top 10.

In addition, Evan Bell's "Same-ve" came in at No. 12, and Katy Perry's two singles "I Kissed a Girl and" Hot and Cold were at No. 12. Thirteenth and seventeenth, Taylor Swift's "Love Story also took fifteenth.

Compared with the situation on the album chart, the competition on the singles chart is obviously much fiercer. And the whole situation is also showing an open development. Maybe the whole album does not perform well, but a single becomes popular. There are many such situations. For example, Jordin Sparks is such a typical representative, Jason -Majez can also be counted. The singles released last year continued to be strong this year. There are countless more, including Flo Rida, the Republican Era, and Chris Brown, including Katy Perry's "I Kissed a Girl".

Overall, Eleven Music occupies eight positions in the top twenty, and the overall score is even better than the album chart.

It is worth mentioning that Usher, who was aggressive this year, finally disappeared from the various lists at the end of the year. After the "confession of love" achieved glory at the beginning, Usher will surpass himself. Apparently an almost impossible task. An existence like Evan Bell is against the sky, and it is estimated that this is the only one in the world.

Compared with previous years when Evan Bell carried the banner alone, Eleven Music obviously achieved impressive results in 2008. The Magic Red Band and the Republic Era released albums last year. Sen-Mayez, Katy-Perry, Adele-Adkins, Taylor-Swift have all shown refreshing strength, and Eleven Music's group advantage is taking shape. And next year Bruno Mars' album will come out soon, it is conceivable that the development track of Eleven Music will continue to climb.

With the help of the collective burst of Eleven Music. Warner Music won again in 2008 in music market share. And the advantage is gradually enlarged, although it is still not obvious. But now the situation in the entire music market is obviously that Warner Records has the upper hand, Sony Records and Universal Music are in a tussle, and EMI Records is at ease. Different from the tangle and thrills of previous years, Warner Records won relatively easily in 2008, and it also began to dominate in the prospect of 2009, which is the best news.

Eleven Studios is leading the way in the field of television, has accumulated a lot of money in the field of music, and is climbing steadily in the field of film. After successfully becoming the seventh largest film company in Hollywood in 2007, Eleven Studios has fully implemented this title this year.

In 2008, Eleven Studio had a total of seven works, "High School Musical 3", "Robot Wall-E", "Mamma Mia", "Rachel's Wedding", "The Hurt Locker", "Slumdog" The Millionaire, Juno, and a Batman Prequel: The Dark Knight by Evan Bell and Warner Bros.

When the year-end box office rankings of the North American film market in 2008 were opened, "Batman: The Dark Knight", which created a new North American box office record, won the championship without any suspense, and the box office figure of 620 million was almost the runner-up. Twice the number, this achievement is truly terrifying, even surpassing the box office miracle of "Titanic". The film history record after ten years of silence has finally been rewritten. No wonder 2008 will be called a miracle year by film critics.

The "Dark Knight" box office success was to be expected, but it showed such a brutal sweep. It can be called an accident, and some people even joked that this is also a dark horse - a dark horse that is not a dark horse. And "Robot Wall-E", which won the runner-up at the North American box office for the whole year, can also be said to be a dark horse. This also makes the North American year-end box office chart show a situation of a live-action film and an animated film for three consecutive years.

2006 was "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" and "Ice Age 2", 2007 was "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" and "Ratatouille", and this year it was "The Dark Knight" and "Robot Wall-E." It is worth mentioning that, All of these six films are directly or indirectly related to Evan Bell. Personally, Evan Bell is definitely the most powerful person in Hollywood in the past decade.

The North American box office of "Robot Wall-E" is actually 390 million, just a line away from 400 million. This achievement was beyond the expectations of countless film critics, and finally surpassed other highly anticipated works, and took the runner-up honor behind "The Dark Knight".

Similarly, in the third runner-up position, it is still the dark horse who made a **** road, and the victory of "Iron Man" was definitely something no one could have predicted before 2008.

Not to mention that Iron Man is not prominent among comic book heroes. Just talking about Robert Downey Jr. has been in the doldrums in Hollywood for so many years, who could have predicted that "Iron Man" would have such a strong box office result under the cooking of director Jon Favreau? In the end, "Iron Man" won the box office of 318 million US dollars in North America, and beat the original film critic's scheduled year-end champion "Indiana Jones 4" with a advantage of one million US dollars, occupying the third place. And "Raiders of the Lost Ark 4" can only be ranked third.

At the end of last year, major film critics made predictions about the box office trend in 2008 that "Indiana Jones 4" was considered to be the most favorable contender for the year-end championship, but when 2008 ended, who could have predicted such a situation Woolen cloth? The three dark horses "The Dark Knight", "Robot Wall-E" and "Iron Man" finally won and became the top three at the end of the year. And "Raiders of the Lost Ark 4" can only be ranked fourth.

Although "National Superman Hancock" has a bad reputation, it still relies on the strong appeal of Will Smith ranked fifth with a score of 227 million; sixth place is It was "Juno" that set off an independent film Sunshine Storm at the end of the year, with a score of 220 million enough to be in the top ten; "Kung Fu Panda" became the last masterpiece of the cooperation between DreamWorks and Paramount, with a score of 215 million. The million-dollar score occupies the seventh place; the real box office dark horse of the year "Twilight" ranks eighth, narrowly surpassing the ninth "Mamma Mia" with two million box office values, and the last seat in the top ten belongs to another. The independent masterpiece "Slumdog Millionaire", the box office gap between this work and "Mamma Mia" is even narrower, and the winner can only be determined by counting to 100,000. In the end, "Mamma Mia" took the first place.

in such fierce competition. , "Madagascar 2" and "007 Quantum of Solace" did not even make it into the top ten, only ranked eleventh and twelfth. It really surprised a lot of people.

In addition, "High School Musical 3" ranked 16th, although the ranking is slightly lower than the previous two, but the overall performance is still good. In addition, "The Hurt Locker", which earned a total of $29 million at the box office, and "Rachel's Wedding", which earned $25 million at the box office, are out of the top 100 on the list and are not worth mentioning.

Even so, Studio Eleven achieved exceptional results, occupying four positions in the top ten, ranking first among major film companies. This is also the first time in history that Studio Eleven has The overall strength of the film company has gone further than last year, and even showed the momentum of dominance. In this year of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, the power rankings of the entire North American film company have also begun to reshuffle.
