The joining of a large number of fans escalated the battle directly, and the fight between Cao Xuan and Ren Xianqi completely entered a fever pitch!
Ren Xianqi's "Sad Pacific" and "Twilight" competed fiercely, barely gained the upper hand, and launched an impact on the top "Fairy Tale".
However, for now, the position of "Fairy Tale" is still relatively stable. On the contrary, "Twilight" makes a comeback from time to time, and returns to the top two.
"Look at the Girl Opposite" and "Running" fluctuate in the fourth and fifth places. Today you press me, tomorrow I will press you, lingering to the end of the world.
The top five of the entire ranking were all occupied by the songs of Cao Xuan and the two, and at their peak, the two even joined forces to occupy eight of the top ten.
The cover of the latest issue of "Contemporary Music World" is the top ten ranking of that ranking, directly declaring the current dominance in the music world.
First: Cao Xuan "Fairy Tale"
Second: Ren Xianqi "Sad Pacific"
Third: Cao Xuan "Twilight"
Fourth: Ren Xianqi "Look at the Girl Opposite"
Fifth: Cao Xuan "Running"
Sixth: Peng Jiahui's "Meet and Hate Late"
Seventh: Ren Xianqi "Ren Xiaoyao"
Eighth: Naying "Conquer"
Ninth: Cao Xuan "Angel's Wings"
Tenth: Ren Xianqi "I am a fish"
?The hit song "See You Late", which caused a sensation in Southeast Asia, and Na Ying, the queen of the mainland, became the only two left in the rankings.
Li Wen, another pop queen, Wang Lihong, a newly released singer, and other singers who have released singles and albums, even have no chance to be in the top ten of the charts.
The deputy editor-in-chief of "Contemporary Music World" jokingly said that when the boss and the second fight, a group of the third will suffer.
But anyway, in September 1998, it became a buzzword in China.
The media hyped wildly, the public followed suit, and even many big names in the music scene were chased by reporters and asked about their feelings.
Mao Ning: "Young people are awesome!"
Liu Huan: "Cao Xuan and I are old friends, and I am not surprised by his popularity. I think he will be the backbone of the Chinese music scene in the future."
Liu Tianwang: "The two of them are too powerful, they fought like hell, I'm discussing with my manager to resign from the song release period."
Li Zongsheng: "Cao Xuan has a strong creative ability, and Xiao Qi's voice is more distinctive. They are both outstanding for a while."
Leslie Cheung: "I have heard the songs of both of them, and I like them both."
Wang Fei: "Don't say I'm popular anymore, now Cao Xuan and Ren Xianqi are more popular than me."
Naying: "Are you polite?"
The outside world continues to pay attention to the changes in the charts, but Cao Xuan and Ren Xianqi are focusing on the album sales.
At this point in the leaderboard, the two sides have already killed each other inseparably. There may be a slight difference, but no one can really beat the other.
In this case, it is better to pay close attention to album sales, after all, it is directly related to their income.
The original sales of "Starry Stars" exceeded 1.1 million+. Although it is still on the rise, the growth rate is far less than the previous few months.
? After a peak battle with Ren Xianqi, the popularity soared, and the sales of the album also ushered in a wave of climax.
And the most important thing is that before, 95% of Cao Xuan's fan market was in mainland China, but after he became popular this time, he has many more fans in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
? "Starry Stars", which had been a mediocre seller in Hong Kong and Taiwan before, suddenly saw its sales soar several times.
By October, the sales volume of the album in Taiwan alone was 200,000+.
?Counting the mainland, Hong Kong, Taiwan and a few overseas sales, the total sales volume of "Starry Stars" is approaching 1.5 million, and the goal of breaking through 2 million before the end of the year is basically within reach.
Cao Xuan's sales are booming, and Ren Xianqi's "Love in the Pacific" is also doing well.
In just one month, the sales volume in Taiwan Province, the base camp, exceeded 300,000, and the sales volume in other places was almost 300,000, for a total of 600,000, which was much faster than Cao Xuan's original sales.
But this is also normal, after all, Ren Xianqi's fan base is here, and taking advantage of this shareholder style, if the sales are not as good as Cao Xuan's back then, just give up and admit defeat.
Now it seems that 1 million sales is not difficult for "Love in the Pacific".
The key depends on whether it can withstand the piracy offensive, and whether it can maintain a long-term and lasting upward trend after 1 million sales.
The rankings are still battered, but from the perspective of benefits and results, it doesn't matter who wins or loses.
HeavyWhat's more, both Cao Xuan and Ren Xianqi's new albums have achieved success, and their fame and influence have also expanded a lot.
Ren Xianqi has completely secured the throne of the new Chinese king, and Cao Xuan has also consolidated his position as a first-line singer, and initially has the capital to attack the mainland king
In the mainland, where entertainment is underdeveloped, there are few such fierce head-to-head competitions.
? Even the newly formed Spring Festival Gala director team was alarmed, discussing the possibility of inviting Cao Xuan and Ren Xianqi to the Spring Festival Gala.
In fact, last year, the Spring Festival Gala program group wanted to invite Ren Xianqi, but due to various reasons, the plan was finally shelved.
This year, seeing that Ren Xianqi has maintained his popularity and even improved to a higher level, coupled with his geographical aura in Taiwan Province, he was almost quickly included in the invitation list of the Spring Festival Gala program group.
But with Cao Xuan, there was a little controversy.
In addition to Hong Kong, Taiwan and ethnic minorities, the rest of the singers on the Spring Festival Gala are basically monopolized by various cultural units and large companies.
No matter how powerful a gangster like Cao Xuan is, he may not be able to get an invitation.
?No way, the most indispensable thing in the Spring Festival Gala is big names, and five or six kings and queens can be gathered casually. Cao Xuan is attractive, but he doesn't have to be.
? It has always been people begging to go to the Spring Festival Gala, not the Spring Festival Gala begging people to participate in the performance
In the end, it was Liu Tiemin, the general director of the director group of this year's Spring Festival Gala, who made the final decision in person.
Since it's so popular, then invite both of them if you want. Besides, isn't there a rehearsal? You can see the effect of the show before thinking about it.
So, Cao Xuan, who had already rushed to Hengdian to film, received an official invitation to the Spring Festival Gala.
The assistant director who was in charge of contacting him told Cao Xuan to prepare the show before November, and then go to CCTV to participate in the first round of Spring Festival Gala rehearsal.
Cao Xuan attached great importance to this invitation to the Spring Festival Gala.
This time "Starry Stars" exploded, although it was not like the previous "Ten Thousand Reasons", where only the song was heard and the person was unknown, but generally speaking, the song was more popular than others.
It would be of great benefit to Cao Xuan if he could go to the Spring Festival Gala to brush his face.
Cao Xuan made double preparations in private.
If the Spring Festival Gala program group wants him to sing famous songs, then sing "Fairy Tale" and "Run", these two songs are relatively more suitable for the Spring Festival Gala stage and are famous.
If the program group of the Spring Festival Gala is not limited, Cao Xuan intends to sing a new song that can shake the scene, and try his best to shine in the Spring Festival Gala.
However, which new song to choose is a question worthy of Cao Xuan's consideration.
