At the end of April, the Taiwan Provincial Golden Melody Awards announced this year's shortlist again. Cao Xuan was shortlisted for multiple awards with "ËÄ" and "Chinese Style".
This is actually not a surprise, although during this period of time, Cao Xuan's most prominent thing was breaking into the European and American music circles.
But in fact, his achievements in the domestic and Asian music circles have been making great strides.
The two albums "ËÄ" and "Chinese Style" have maintained a certain dominance on the charts so far.
Earlier this month, "God of War" Adu released his first album "Dark Sky". Several songs have received good attention, especially the title song "He must love you very much", which has become popular all over the country.
At the same time, this song is also the theme song of Lu Yi and Lin Xinru's TV series "Talents and Women".
It is worth mentioning that in the original time and space, Nishinomiya Niangniang started Xiaohong through this TV series.
But now, Zeng Li is down-to-earth to be his teacher and play his heroine, so there is no need to support Ruby Lin
Adu's momentum is fierce. It is said that the album was once sold out, and even Xiao Zhou was no match for him, but now, he is still looking up to Cao Xuan at the bottom of the charts and sales charts.
As of April 2002, both albums have exceeded 2 million, and "Chinese Style" has even approached 3 million.
"Four" was released two months later, and the data is slightly lower than that of "Chinese Style", but it has a lot of stamina, especially in Asia, and the overall sales are better.
However, "christsao" is the best seller. It sold 1 million copies in the U.S. market, and is now on the way to 2 million copies, and it has almost broken 1 million copies in China.
In Asia, sales in Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia are very good. The overall sales have exceeded 1 million copies, which is Cao Xuan's best-selling album in Asia so far.
Previously, Cao Xuan and Warner estimated that the total sales volume of "Christsao" was 3-5 million, but now it seems that they underestimated the potential of the Asian market.
If it is said that Cao Xuan's former Asian king is somewhat hypocritical, the biggest market is still in the Greater China region, and the influence of Japan and South Korea is not too high.
Today, the trend of English albums + billboard rankings has directly opened up the markets of the two countries.
Japanese and Korean fans may not care about Chinese kings, but they are particularly interested in Asian international "superstars". When Cao Xuan hit the bulletin board, his exposure in Japan and South Korea was more than the sum of the previous years.
When Cao Xuan appeared on the cover of the international edition of "Time Magazine" and two songs entered the top ten of the billboard, a Korean media unabashedly wrote in the headline of the news¡ª¡ª
", Light of Asia! ! ! "
Not to mention Japan, Japan alone accounted for almost half of the 1 million sales of "Christsao" in Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia.
Cao Xuan's name has appeared in the top five of Japan's Oricon Rankings for two consecutive weeks. Even if other factors are not considered, Cao Xuan's reputation in Japan alone is calculated, and he is almost comparable to the first-tier.
In the past two months, if Cao Xuan is a blockbuster in the United States, then in Asia and the Chinese music scene, it is almost overwhelming, killing gods and Buddhas.
Last year, Cao Xuan held one at the Taiwan Provincial Golden Melody Awards, and directly ascended to the top of the Chinese music scene, which caused a lot of public opinion disturbance in both sides of the strait and three places.
At that time, Cao Xuan felt that the Taiwan Provincial Golden Melody Awards would not give him another award in a short time.
? Firstly, the turmoil was too great, and secondly, the new generation of musicians in Taiwan, such as Xiao Zhou, also rose up.
The Golden Melody Award was originally what Cao Xuan thought. He made Cao Xuan earn enough money, and then focused on Xiao Zhou and the others in a short period of time.
But what is embarrassing now is that this year Cao Xuan went out of the circle in Europe and America, and became popular in Asia, and the momentum has increased geometrically compared to last year.
Achievements, fame, and influence are not comparable to Xiao Zhou and the others for the time being.
If the Taiwan Provincial Golden Melody Awards forcibly "ignores" Cao Xuan, it is likely to cause a new round of public opinion turmoil, and even directly affect the credibility of the entire award.
Therefore, after discussing the Golden Melody Award, he still gritted his teeth and asked Cao Xuan to participate in another round.
Anyway, Cao Xuan will not release a new Chinese album next year, and it will never be his turn. There are only three things, and it is still within everyone's tolerance to win three times in a row.
Of course, taking a fancy to Cao Xuan's fame and planning to gain popularity is also under the consideration of the Golden Melody Awards Organizing Committee.
After all, last year's Golden Melody Awards, not to mention the turmoil, was indeed the one with the highest attention over the years, and the overall selection was recognized by everyone except for some people.
Even those who put forward their opinions were not based on the fairness of the song and the awards, but were entangled in Cao Xuan's identity and origin.
And it's not just the Golden Melody Awards that want to catch the heat, the cctv-mtv music festival also announced this year's shortlist in advance, and Cao Xuan alsoCao Xuan has withdrawn from the competition for domestic awards in a high-spirited manner, and everyone has to accept his affection.
At the same time, he became a judge, which guaranteed the face of the organizing committee. He himself had a wave of qualifications and became a veritable bigwig in the pop music world.
Letting Cao Xuan compete for awards with Xiao Zhou, Xiao Wang, and Xiao Lin is really embarrassing, so it is better to let Cao Xuan judge and present awards to them.
In the future, even if fans tear up the ranks of music singers, this award data will not be established.
There is no need to compare Cao Xuan and Xiao Zhou with more awards or fewer awards, because their awards are all judged by Cao Xuan.
?After all, if the students compete for the first place, even if they lose their heads, it has nothing to do with the teacher. Cao Xuan is not even counted as a participant, but the arbiter above them.
A little brother for a day, a little brother for a lifetime!
