The reputation of being the best is reflected in sales, which is shocking.

In the history of American music, there are really few Asians. From Jacky Cheung to Faye Wong, they have achieved many achievements, but have never really entered the history of American music like the Beatles in the UK. In 2010, Lee Junyi first left his own footprints in the history of American music in the singles. Now, Lee Junyi is creating a history and a miracle with the album "apologize".

As mentioned before, due to the impact of digital sound sources, the number of people willing to buy physical albums has decreased significantly. Gone are the era when more than tens of millions of sales were sold in the past. After 2000, the album with the highest sales in the United States was the album released by Amy Nam in 2002, which sold an astonishing sales of 7.61 million copies that year, becoming the album with the highest sales volume since the 21st century. Of course, American albums are sold for a long time. If we want to count the accumulated sales over the past ten years, then the sales champion so far in 2000 belongs to the album "1" released by the Beatles in 2000, and has sold more than 11 million copies so far.

In recent years, the highest-selling album in the United States was 3.7 million copies created by Josh Groban in 2007, while the sales champion album last year was from Taylor Swift's "fearless", which sold 3.22 million copies. In this case, compared with the era when album sales were based on tens of millions in the last century, it is far from that.

Once the album "apologize" was released, it achieved an amazing result of 1.2 million amid overwhelming praise, which fell below a person's glasses: this sales not only exceeded the 740,000 records created by Amy Nam three weeks ago, and became the highest-selling album in the first week of 2010; it also became the highest-selling album in the first week of the past decade.

This result undoubtedly won the championship of this week's 10th album chart for Lee Junyi and was airborne. This is the 20th single that has been airborne in the half century since the establishment of the 10th single. History has been written from here. Similar to the first Asian 10th album chart champion, the champion is all over the world. More importantly, Lee Junyi is not only creating history belonging to Asia as a Chinese, but also breaking a series of records created by Americans themselves.

In the United States, 500,000 sales are gold records, 1 million sales are platinum records, and 10 million sales are the legendary diamond records. Two million is double platinum, and the above can be called n platinum or super platinum. Being able to sell platinum records is the wish of every singer and the goal of countless new singers.

One million and two million, sales exceeded platinum in the first week. Such results are amazing even with the overwhelming good reputation of "apologize". However, this surprise is a joyful surprise. All media and professional music critics are shouting that the win-win situation of word-of-mouth sales, "apologize" is entering history.

Half of 2010 has passed, and the current sales champion is Amy Nam's new album "Recovery" released in early July, which has achieved sales of 3.42 million copies. Lee Junyi's first English album was released, first of all, breaking Amy Nam's first week's sales record. So how long-lasting the sales of "apologize" and whether it can break the record set by Amy Nam has become the focus of all media attention.

Although the first week of 1.2 million is too amazing, if you study it carefully, you will find that Lee Junyi's achievement can be said to be a natural result and not an accident. At least it is not necessary to be unexpected when Lee Junyi created a series of miracles in the movie.

A look at Lee Junyi's development history in the United States. The overnight fame of "Twilight" also brought news about Lee Junyi's musical talent. The four movies in 2009 made Lee Junyi win both fame and fortune, not only became the first among the new generation of actors, but also successfully entered the front line among many senior actors. In 2010, four singles went to the public step by step, showing everyone Lee Junyi's musical talent, followed by the popularity of "lunar eclipse" and "Inception", especially "Inception" won a great victory worldwide, but the starring Lee Junyi overshadowed all senior actors and became the most well-known actor in July. Acting, popularity, and reputation, Lee Junyi lacked anything, which laid a solid foundation for his first English album.

Sony's planning for the album "apologize" started from the first day. The release of singles, the shooting of MVs, and the arrangement of promotional itineraries all reflect Sony's conscience. When all the audience and fans' expectations for Lee Junyi's first English album reached the highest point, the power of "Inception" was released.

If we want to be more objective, excellence in the film cannot be converted into actual sales, but can only bring attention to Lee Junyi's first album. The previous series of accumulated momentum is just to give the album attention and expectations.

What really makes the album "apologize" convert attention into sales is the quality of the album itself, or the public's initial recognition of Lee Junyi's musical talent. The most important thing is the excellence of the album itself. The good reputation with a consistent caliber and the addition of adjectives such as "perfect, best, peerless", "apologize" has almost all possible praises. Some media even predict that this album is destined to shine in next year's Grammy. Trend, fashionable, novel, catchy, listenable, moving... To be successful, the quality of the work itself has always been the first factor, and publicity and hype, and excellent timing are just additional conditions.

Lee Junyi achieved jaw-dropping good results with an impeccable album, which is actually natural. But the sales figure that has risen sharply has become an exclamation mark that is enough to shock everyone!

One-week champion, two-week champion, three-week champion... Eleven Weeks Champion, "apologize" wins every week on the ll-wave ard album chart, which is a historical footprint. From the end of July to November, the album "apologize" has won the eleven-week championship for the eleven-week championship. This achievement is amazing at any time and in any era, even in the era of music prosperity where singers bloom.

Lee Junyi's debut in English albums, and he won the eleven-week championship in the eleven-week album rankings, which was really amazing. And this is not the point. "apologize" stayed in the top ten for another twelve weeks, and after entering 2011, he still stayed on the top ten list. His sales durability was too scary. In the end, "apologize" stayed in the top two hundred albums of the eleven-week albums for eleven-week. In other words, "apologize" stayed in the top two hundred sales until March 2012, and his sales durability even exceeded the previous long-lived album "Fame".

In 2010 alone, the sales of "apologize" exceeded 8 million copies, and the final number was 8.31 million copies. There is no doubt that this result has become the highest-selling album in the United States since the 21st century. As mentioned earlier, the highest-selling album in the year-end in the past three years was 3.7 million copies. The sales of this album of Li Junyi's album are twice that of this number. If nothing unexpected happens, there will be no problem to win the 2010 domestic sales championship.

8.31 million copies, the highest sales in the past decade, made Li Junyi, who only released the first English album, immediately joined the ranks of the top singers in the American music industry. The album's sales durability was still so amazing. By 2012, when he withdrew from the "top200 Album List", the cumulative sales of "apologize" in the United States had reached 13 million copies, surpassing the Beatles, and becoming the champion of cumulative sales of albums after 2000.

Who could have thought of surpassing the Beatles? This is indeed a miracle.

This is just the mainland of the United States. Li Junyi's popularity continues worldwide.

In the UK, "apologize" not only won the championship in the album rankings for four weeks, but also achieved sales of 1.3 million copies, and was also very competitive in the year-end sales rankings.

In Japan, Lee Junyi's power showed his power. "apologize" won the championship for five weeks on the O-Japanese Con Album List, setting a new record for foreign singers in Japan, and breaking the record of Lee Junyi's own previous album "Pink Snow". He finally achieved sales of 2.2 million yuan. If nothing unexpected happens, this result will also be a strong competitor in the top three in the year-end sales rankings.

South Korea and China have always had average digestion of English albums, because of piracy, and South Korea is because of national consciousness. But this time, Lee Junyi's power still broke these barriers.

In South Korea, the album "apologize" actually achieved sales of 530,000 copies. This result that shocked everyone has allowed everyone to see the unparalleled cohesion of no.1. At present, only Lee Junyi can easily sell 500,000 copies in South Korea. So, in 2009, Lee Junyi won the championship in the year-end sales rankings with "G string Song". In 2010, Lee Junyi will win the championship again with her English album? The premise of this situation is that Lee Junyi has not been in regular activities in South Korea for nearly a year and a half, so Lee Junyi's popularity is too terrible.

In China, the album "Love Song" that year once swept 750,000 sales, becoming the sales champion of China's two sides of the Taiwan Strait and three regions. This time, "apologize" was released, achieving 800,000 copies, and even surpassing the record of "Love Song" that year, which makes people sigh.

In addition, the album "apologize" has won the album sales charts in more than 20 countries including France, Italy, Germany, Canada, Australia, etc., continuing the shock brought by "Inception" not long ago.

In the end, Lee Junyi's first English album sold 15 million copies worldwide, which was not only a miracle in 2010, but also a miracle in the world since the 21st century.

With the increasingly sluggish economy, the world music market has been severely impacted by digital sound sources, and the sales of albums are no longer as brave as they were back then. This time, Lee Junyi's "apologize" performance was just a very good album ten or twenty years ago, but today it is an album that has created countless myths. However, the "apologize" album, which was born to create miracles, has brought this series of myths to open a new page on the world stage: in addition to actor Lee Junyi, there is also singer Lee Junyi.

Compared with the grand momentum of the entire album "apologize", this album is not inferior to the singles chart of "Power ard". The strength on the album list proves that the sales of physical albums are gratifying. In the face of step-by-step pressure of digital sound sources, "apologize" has wiped out the decadence of the album market in the past decade, opening up a new situation in the physical album market.

Lee Junyi relies on the album "apologize" to prove that people will still buy physical albums. As long as the album is of excellent quality and has collection value, they are willing to open their wallets and buy albums. Combined with the miracles that Lee Junyi has repeatedly created in Asia in the past two years, this has also made the American music industry and even the music industry all over the world realize that it still depends on quality. As long as it is a good album, the audience will not be stingy.

While the entire album was creating miracles, "apologize" as a single also began its journey to the singles chart. This time, "apologize" took over the handover of "although.lover" and "", continuing the situation where Lee Junyi's singles continued to appear on the singles chart since January.
