The downturn in the music industry is a global problem and a new challenge encountered in industrial development. It is not a dilemma that can be reversed by just one singer.

Such a dilemma was further exacerbated after the global financial crisis in 2008. Coupled with the overall rise of digital sound sources, the sales of physical albums are indeed facing severe tests. The number of albums with sales exceeding one million in the first week also dropped sharply. From 2008 to 2014, only three albums have accomplished such a feat.

Taylor Swift, "Speak-Now" in 2010, "Red" in 2012.

Miss Gaga, 2011 "Born-This-Way"

The closest to such a feat in the past year or two is Justin Timberlake, not Adele.

The strength of "21" lies in its long and long-lasting strong stamina. Simply put, it is a myth created by reputation, rather than a overlord who swept the ball at the beginning.

The official sales of "Perfect Vision" were 1.29 million in the first week. If it was placed on the historical list, it could enter the top six, which also caused applause and cheers at the beginning. But in fact, behind the data, it needs further interpretation, not about irrigation or fraud, but rather about regional positioning.

One million and two hundred and ninety-nine thousand is the world's first week's sales, and the UK and Japan markets contributed a large amount of data; and if we only refer to the North American market, the first week of "Perfect Vision" was 890,000-

Of course, such data can still make the album enter the top 25 in the "first week sales" historical list, ranking 22nd, which is also an incredible result. This is also a direct proof of Justin's current super popularity; but from the perspective of public relations and publicity, the "twenty-second place in history" is naturally not as easy as the "twenty-two in history".

As a result, the promotional press briefly blurred the focus.

And now, history is finally created.

One day, the King's second volume "Nine", ranked among the top ten in history with a sales of 1.17 million in North America. There was no need to blur the focus. It dropped a bomb on all news media and the entire social network without any suspense, and the rumbling waves swept in an instant.

Does anyone still remember the sales volume in the first week of the release of "Seven"?

I'm afraid not.

Because the sales of "Seven" did not even exceed the threshold of 5,000 in the first week, it is a ghost of "no such person" in major record stores and major lists.

Now, from "Seven" to "Nine", sales have increased by a thousand times in the first week! A full thousand times! Three more digital seats have been added behind the sales figures!

Terrifying? Terrifying? Terrifying?

None of these can be described as one thousandth of the shock. When I saw the sales figures in the first week, my mind was just a long blank.

Directly crash.

Not to mention the media and netizens, even the band members of One Day King couldn't believe it.

Maxim's first reaction was to look at Ronan, widen his eyes and ask, "Is this true?"

But how did Ronan know? He and his friends both learned the news from Johnny Quaid at the same time? He didn't know more than Maxim.

Cliff was a little sensible, and he realized that he should ask Johnny, "Really? Johnny, if this is an April Fools' Day prank, I will kill you! I promise! Please tell me, this is not an April Fools' Day prank." As he said that, Cliff did not notice his voice trembling.

Johnny is no exception.

He expected that the king's performance would hit a new high in one day, but a million in the first week? This was a huge surprise that he had never expected, so he was a little panicked.

"No, it's not a prank." Johnny said with a smile, "The New York Times, the Rolling Stones and the Los Angeles Times have confirmed the news."

"God!" Ollie took a deep breath, then covered her mouth and looked at Ronan in disbelief. Although there was no sound at all, she could still see the storm in her pupils.

Ronan's mind was also blank at this time. It was hard to imagine what "Millions in the first week" meant. It was just wrapped in a bright halo with no sense of reality. Then he saw Oli's slightly swollen cheeks and couldn't help but chuckled, "Oli, breathe, breathe!"

Oli realized that he was about to suffocate, let go of his hands, breathed in big mouthfuls, and with the rhythm of his breathing, he began to jump high in place, "Ah!" and shouted, "Ahhhh! Ronan! Ronan!"

He didn't know what he should say, but just shouted Ronan's name, jumping and hanging it on Ronan like a large teddy bear pendant.

"Ahhhh!" Maxim finally made a sound at this time, clenched his fists and roared, venting his emotions happily.

Cliff grabbed his head with both hands, unable to believe the reality, then bent down to support his knees, breathing in big mouthfuls, and his entire lungs were burning.

Joy? Happiness? No, it is madness.

Since the second volume was produced, the band has been under unimaginable tremendous pressure. The huge success and brilliant halo of "Seven" are like a mountain pressing on the chest, applying pressure at all times, and then you can hear the giggling sound of the bones on the chest spreading along the body.

More than once, it was on the verge of collapse.

but!

They did it! They succeeded! After "Seven" swept the four major Grammy comprehensive awards, "Nine" created its own history with a devastating attitude. The sales of millions in the first week finally allowed the band to truly gain a foothold and have its own place in the music industry.

That taste is indescribable.

To some extent, it was even more exciting than when Grammy received the phonograph trophy last year—

Because last year, he was born without anything, and was light in debt; but this year, he completed his own breakthrough under layers of pressure. The feeling of refreshing, happiness and madness is not enough to describe a one-tenth of the feeling.

As they shouted, laughter stirred up in their chests, smudged their eyebrows bit by bit. The four of them screamed and cheered like children who had not grown up, running and jumping freely. The bright and cheerful laughter made the gorgeous sunshine on the sky become eclipsed.

Looking at the band members who were venting their emotions freely, Johnny was also in a state of excitement. The long and arduous darkness finally passed, and the next step was a smooth road. Before moving forward, they could briefly celebrate the carnival and enjoy this unmixed purity and simplicity.

There is no need for rendering or modification. Just listing numbers, the press release of Atlantic Records is already shocking enough to attract countless sights with the attitude of creating history, and it can easily push the momentum of the album "Nine" to a new height.

So, what should Farrell Williams do?

People were still discussing the battle between One Day King, Farrell and Shakira, but the One Day King, who took the lead, directly burned the small universe. Farrell and Shakira were stunned. Can the arrow continue to fire?
