Chapter 246: The craze sweeping the world, the Grammy Awards begins
And this song did not disappoint Lin Xia.
Although it didn't cause much of a sensation on the day it was released, it didn't even create much waves.
But one day after the song was released, Lin Xia woke up the next morning and was awakened by a call from the company.
Because the song "Faded" that I released around yesterday afternoon has now started to climb the US Billboard charts very quickly.
Lin Xia was naturally very happy after receiving the call.
Because this list can be said to be a truly American list and it is very difficult to get on.
But my song "Faded" has already been on this list less than a day after it was released.
This also shows that this song of mine is loved by many people in the United States.
And it can be said that I have paid attention to this list before, and I have always been paying close attention to this list.
Lin Xia had also learned about this list before. When this list first started, it was on November 1, 1894. In a tavern in Cincinnati, Ohio, the United States, two notices were specially designed for circuses and exhibitions.
The young people William H. Donaldson and James F. Henningham got drunk and came up with the idea of starting a publication. This is how "Billboard" was created.
born.
But at that time, it was still called "Billb". This monthly magazine only had 8 pages and sold for 10 cents. The content was mainly about state events, carnival festivals, and entertainment performances.
In 1897, the magazine was renamed "thebillboard" and a series of adjustments were made.
Donaldson bought Henningham's stock, turned the monthly publication into a weekly magazine, and opened offices in New York and Chicago.
The content of the magazine is gradually becoming entertainment-oriented: news and advertisements from the record industry, movie introductions, song reviews, column sections, etc. are added.
It was not until 1913 that "Billboard" published its first list of "the top ten best-selling pop songs of the past week", becoming the first magazine to have a list.
In the following decades, "Billboard" successively established various rankings: the ranking of popular songs played by theaters last week, the jukebox rankings, the pop song sales rankings, and the most popular songs on radio stations.
Song rankings, album sales rankings, etc.
Among these rankings, most of them are not accurate, are provided by record companies, or have little impact on the communication channels they target.
In the 1940s, "Billboard" made adjustments and focused on launching lists such as the most played songs on jukeboxes, the most played songs by radio DJs, the album sales list, and the single sales list. These lists are now in line with today's
The list format of "Billboard" is very similar, and the magazine itself has become a professional pop music ranking magazine.
After 1954, "Billboard" has controlled the entire American pop music industry, including professional ranking statistics of list information and rankings of various popular items.
From July 9 to August 27, 1955, Bill Haley's "Rod The Clock" topped the Billboard single sales chart for eight weeks, announcing the beginning of the rock and roll era.
And this star is also an international superstar that Lin Xia has known since he was a child. He has considerable influence on a global scale.
On November 12 of the same year, "Billboard" launched the first top 100 list, which combines song sales and jukeboxes most frequently played. On August 4, 1958, the top 100 was renamed the hot 100 singles list, and then the best sales list was merged into
, the singles chart has since been unified and has become the most famous list of "Billboard" to date.
Although it took three years to take shape, people still set its birth date as November 12, 1955.
Since then, "Billboard" has been developing steadily, dominating the American music scene, and has made improvements and introduced new ones from time to time: changing the name to "Billboard", appearing on covers, improving statistical methods, renaming the album chart to thebillboard200, etc., including this year, "Billboard"
The pop100 singles chart was also launched. Compared with the hot100, it uses the play rate of the top 40 mainstream radio stations as the statistical source.
Nowadays, when I hear things like radio stations in China, I feel that they are a bit old, and I feel that things like radio stations should have been abandoned long ago.
The main reason is that it is rare to see radio stations in China. Most young people in China listen to music on some music platforms or short video platforms. Few people listen to music through radios.
, radio and other methods to listen to music, so naturally everyone knows very little about radio stations.
I always feel that radio as a thing has been eliminated. I feel that no one around the world is using it anymore.
But this is not the case. Radio is indeed still used by the public in the United States, and radio on-demand songs are still very popular across the country.
This is why this list uses radio stations as the main source of statistics for listening to songs.
This is because in the United States, most people still use radio stations to listen to music.
And as long as you can be on this list, it means that you have been accepted by the public in the United States, and your songs have been liked by the public, otherwise it would be impossible to be on such a list.
You must know that this is the Billboard list. Although this list is said to be a local list in the United States, in fact, this list has extremely great influence on a global scale.
This list can be said to be the vane of global pop music. It is the earliest and most authoritative list and has the greatest influence, topic and discussion.
It has a long history and has been around since the 1950s.
Elvis Presley, Beatles, MJ, Madonna, Whitney, Janet Jackson, Mariah Carey, Celine, Britney Spears, these "famous singers" who are very popular around the world are all
There have been "excellent ranking results" on this list.
A reference for No. 1 pop music around the world is this list.
Many singers even agree that if they want to know the global influence of a singer, they can just refer to the B-chart results.
The ranking on the bulletin board is based on the "physical record sales" and "radio on-demand" = 1 song points score in a single week, and the highest one is the winner of that week.
In the 2000s, the era of digital downloads was based on the "digital download sales" and "radio on-demand" = 1 song points score in a single week, and the highest was the winner of that week.
In the 10s, the streaming media era was based on the "streaming media play volume" and "radio on-demand" in a single week = 1 song point score, and the highest was the winner of that week.
Streaming media, digital downloads, physical records - all require "payment". Radio generally requires the singer's team and the company to "distribute stations", which also requires company public relations and management. The radio station is also a paid radio on demand, and sometimes
, the point difference between the champion and the runner-up is only 1 point.
Being able to win the title means that this song is the most popular "song" that week, and it is also a "big selling point" for the company to sell albums. It also shows to a certain extent the "popularity" and "strength" of "a singer", and
Popularity.
It can be said that the reason why I was selected for the Grammy Awards this time is because the two songs I released before were all number one singles, that is, the championship singles, and they both ranked first in this chart for a week.
And now the fans at the airport basically know me because of this list.
From this point, we can actually see how influential this list is, and how difficult it is to win the weekly championship on this list.
And this newly released song by me has already reached the top 50 on the Billboard chart in just one night.
Generally speaking, only those international superstars can achieve such achievements, but now I have achieved it, which shows how popular this song is.
I came up with my own song, My Heart Will Go On, and with the blessing of the movie, no other song rose in the rankings as fast as this one. Moreover, the other song "Baby" took about two weeks to complete the Billboard rankings.
Climb to the top.
But for this song now, Lin Xia feels that maybe she will be able to reach the top position tonight, because the rise in the ranking of this song is really beyond her expectation. The ranking of this song has risen very quickly.
.
Through the release of this song, Lin Xia truly realized how popular this electronic music song is abroad and around the world.
I have never composed this type of song in China before. In fact, this should be my first electronic music song.
It was considered an attempt of his own, but he achieved such results as soon as it was released. Lin Xia felt that if he wanted to truly gain a foothold on a global scale, expand the market, and quickly increase the number of his fans.
Then the songs that she mainly releases next should be placed on electronic music songs. Lin Xia feels that the quality of the song "Baby" released before is much better than this type of electronic music songs.
However, the data is not ideal. That song won the championship simply by relying on word of mouth.
On the other hand, the performance of that song "Baby" was not very good, but to be able to win the championship single is actually quite good, for a newcomer like me.
However, this song can reach the top of the list so quickly, which is enough to prove that it is this type of electronic music that attracts more attention in foreign markets.
Moreover, this type of song is also the easiest to achieve success. Compared with songs like Baby, Lin Xia feels that if she just wants to achieve success abroad quickly, then it would be better to release more of these electronic music songs in the future.
During this day, Lin Xia also checked the position of her song in this list many times, and also looked at the evaluation of her song.
Different from the domestic song comment area, in the foreign song comment area, Lin Xia seems to have truly realized what true freedom is.
In the comment area, Lin Xia saw a lot of swear words and a lot of extremely explicit pictures, but these comments were directly displayed in front of her eyes and were not blocked or unable to be displayed.
In this comment area, Lin Xia also saw a lot of messages from netizens from various countries around the world. Since this list itself is open to the world, Lin Xia can also see from this list what countries around the world think of her.
Leave a comment for this song.
Lin Xia even saw many comments from Chinese netizens. Although each of these comments was in a different language, Lin Xia could still tell that these people seemed to like this song very much.
, and the evaluation of this song is also very high.
It can be said that it has received rave reviews in a real sense, and it only took half a day for this song to reach the top ten of the Billboard charts.
This rising speed not only shocked Lin Xia, but also many international superstars came to the comment area of this song to leave messages. Lin Xia also saw many international celebrities that she was familiar with from this comment area.
The avatars of the superstars, and these comments are all made by the superstars themselves in the comment area.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! These international superstars also have very high evaluations of their own songs.
Although I said that I didn't have much ambition for this song at the beginning, but now it seems that I still underestimated the influence of this song.
Being able to reach the top ten in such a short time, the speed of improvement far exceeded Lin Xia's own expectations.
At this time, Lin Xia also looked at the top ten songs on the list.
Fortunately, I haven't encountered any important festivals in the United States now, and these songs are all of relatively average quality. Although there are two or three songs among them, they are songs by international superstars, but those songs are also
It has been published for a few weeks.
Now this song of mine has great potential to hit the number one spot on the charts today.
And there are many fans who seem to be helping him achieve such a goal. Since this list is linked to sales, Lin Xia seems to have seen a lot of people and bought hundreds of electronic copies of this song at once.
album.
Being in the top ten of this list means that this song of mine has truly taken the world by storm in just one day.
When she went to bed at night, Lin Xia looked at the list again and found that her song had reached the third position. Although it had not yet reached the top, Lin Xia knew that it was not far away from reaching the top.
At this time, the staff member with whom I was in contact with the Grammy Awards also called me and congratulated me on this song's achievement in his broken Chinese.
At the same time, I also reminded myself that I might need to go to the Grammy Awards ceremony tomorrow to rehearse and learn the way.
Because the Grammy Awards ceremony will be officially held soon.
