    Oprah did think that Lin Zhimo and Shakira's album would be a big hit, and she also thought that this album would make Lin Zhimo and Shakira the singers famous, but she didn't expect the album's sales.  It would be so good.  August 2002 was a very ordinary month, but for Lin Zhimo, this month was destined to become the most memorable month in his life, because his first English album officially landed in the United States.  The main promotion of this album is naturally the song "Flag Flying" from the World Cup, but Sony Music has also put a lot of thought into several other songs in this album.  Under the three-dimensional bombardment of print media, television media and online media, this album called "Mystery" has also won huge attention.  Although the United States has always been known as a football desert, I don't know why some movies and songs about football are very popular, and this album is just like that.  The album officially went on sale on August 1st. When the first week sales of the album came out on August 5th, everyone was surprised. It was not too little, but too much - Mi X¡¯s first week sales were as high as 150,000.  open!  You must know that August 1st is not Sunday, the traditional release date, but Thursday, so it seems that the sales of this album in the second week are promising.  In the United States, the sales volume of an album in a week is calculated starting from Monday and ending on Sunday. Therefore, the sales volume of this album in the first week is calculated from the Thursday of release to the four days ending on Sunday.  , and the sales volume within these four days reached a satisfactory 150,000 copies.  The sales volume in the first week is worthy of entering the top 50 of the Billboard 200 album list, so we can look forward to the sales volume in the second week.  Because Lin Zhimo and Shakira are not very influential in the American market after all, and they rely on the excellent song quality of this album.  The sales of this album should be on an upward curve within a certain period of time.  And this album finally lived up to everyone¡¯s expectations, with sales exceeding 300,000 in the second week, reaching an astonishing 360,000 copies!  This number immediately pushed the album of Mi X to the eighth place on the Billboard 200 album list, and squeezed into the top ten!  And a series of music reviews about this album suddenly sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.  "I think this year is destined to be a special year for the music world. I wrote in an article a few months ago. Rap ??songs are almost in decline. It's not that the sales are not good, but that the singers are somewhat inactive. But right now, Ai  Meinem gave me a slap in the face with "The Eminem Show". So far, this album has sold four million copies, and the sales are still rising; just a few days ago  . I was still saying that rap songs may be really inclusive, but only a white man like Eminem can achieve something. However, today I heard the rap of a Chinese.  Happy. From this album, I see an unprecedented bright future for rap songs! A Chinese from the mysterious East completely conquered me with his rap. Now, please remember this name - jemlin!  The name is destined to be remembered in the history of American music!¡± The above remarks appeared in the entertainment forum of the Yahoo website. The writer is not an unknown person, but Mr. Mike Grant, the website¡¯s senior music critic for many years.  Some of his music reviews published on Yahoo are often quoted by some newspapers, because he is always unabashed but frank and sincere. This kind of highly personal comments has won him a large number of fans.  And his article also made many people who follow the Internet know the name Lin Zhimo for the first time.  No one knows how influential Yahoo Music's music review article is. After all, although the Internet world has shown unparalleled influence, after the Internet bubble in 2000, many people have asserted that the Internet will only  That¡¯s it.  But compared to Yahoo Music¡¯s illusory influence on the online world, a review of the album by the world-famous music magazine "Rolling Stone" attracted the attention of many people.  "Rolling Stone" magazine has a huge influence on the global music market, not only because of their huge reputation, but also because of their professionalism, persistence, and sincerity over the years since the publication was founded. ? And Rolling Stone magazine¡¯s most popular music critic is undoubtedly Mark Burgess.  Mark Burgess is 48 years old and has been the music critic of Rolling Stone magazine for more than fifteen years. The reason why he has been able to stick to this job for so many years is because of his heartfelt love for music.  It is precisely for this reason.  He has great expectations for the works of some musicians. He hopes to see excellent works that can bring joy to everyone.?Sentimental musical works, but precisely for this reason, for these musical works sent to his desktop.  His vision is much stricter than other music critics.  For Mark Burgess, the perfect score for a musical work is ten points, but in the past ten years, there are surprisingly few works that can give him a score of nine or more, but every music album that has scored nine points has been proven to be  A classic handed down from generation to generation.  These experiences gradually made Mark Burgess¡¯s comments become a music trend vane, and some musicians even said that it was more difficult to win Mark¡¯s praise than to win a Grammy Award.  Now, when everyone opened the new Rolling Stone magazine that was released on August 10th, they were all surprised to find that Mark Burgess actually gave a music magazine called Mystery a high score of 8.9.  This has made many people extremely interested in this album.  "There is no doubt that this music album is the highest quality album in recent years. If we exclude the songs in this album that were not composed by jemlin, I would give this music album a score of 9.1!"  The opening sentence of Mark Burgess immediately surprised everyone, 9.1 points!  The last time he gave a score of 9.1 was last century. I didn¡¯t expect that someone would get this honor again today.  At the same time, everyone who saw this magazine also had a strong interest in the singer named jemlin, and continued to read down.  "This album is a compilation album, a collaboration between two people - but in my opinion this seems a bit unnecessary, because Jem's few songs alone can support this album.  " "Although I like these songs all, if I say my favorite is the song 'teenagelife', it's not because of how beautiful the melody of this song is - several songs in this album have beautiful melodies.  It's beautiful, but I was really moved by the care for children expressed in this song. Especially when the children's voice at the beginning of the song appeared, there was only one word in my mind, and that was the sound of nature.  The angelic singing voice immediately took me into heaven. I have never known that children singing in a song can achieve such an effect. " "Having said this, I think you must be very curious about jemlin.  , but this comment is just a comment about music. I won¡¯t comment too much about the author. Let everyone understand it for themselves. "Everyone felt fooled when they saw Mark Burgess's words.  It feels like I praised Lin Zhimo's song to the heavens, but at the end I said I don't know the lyricist. This is no different from advertising Lin Zhimo.  However, despite feeling unhappy, everyone who saw this magazine still had the urge to go listen to this album.  In fact, Lin Zhimo still made some clever moves when it came to releasing the album. For example, the cover of the album used relatively heavy makeup and a dark side, which did not fully show off his face.  In this case, if you just listen to the album, no one will find out whether Lin Zhimo's voice is Chinese or American.  This is not Lin Zhimo¡¯s unfounded worry, but a preparation to prevent subconscious behavior.  Just like if a Vietnamese singer suddenly releases an album in China, without knowing the quality of the song, if you know that he is a Vietnamese singer, you will have a more or less strange view in your heart, not necessarily  It's discrimination, but double standards.  Lin Zhimo was also worried about this, so he deliberately hid his appearance and even lowered his voice to make his voice sound richer and more resonant.  So amid Lin Zhimo¡¯s anxiety, Shakira¡¯s excitement and Sony Music¡¯s expectations, the album¡¯s sales in the third week actually exceeded 560,000 again! ??????????????????? And this time, it became the number one album list on the Billboard 200 overnight!  The US Billboard¡¯s number one album!  Billboard was founded in 1894. After more than 100 years of development, it has become the world's most authoritative list for measuring the popularity of songs.  Billboard mainly uses sales volume and radio on-demand as the basis, converts them into points, and then lists various rankings. Among the various lists, the most famous ones are the album rankings (top 200 albums rankings) and singles rankings.  (Hot100 Singles Chart), and various lists also include other charts in different music categories.  This ranking list with a history of more than 100 years is not a small list. Some singers may not even be in the top ten of the list in their lifetime, but Lin Zhimo actually made it to the top of the list with his first album released in the United States.  It was a miracle that the album reached the top of the charts in just three weeks.  However, the surprise is not over yet. Lin Zhimo¡¯s song ¡°notafr¡±Aid" and Shakira's "Only Girl" actually occupied the third and fourth positions respectively in the singles rankings. Two songs in the top five were both from the same album. This made everyone pay attention to the announcement.  Everyone is shocked by the changes in the card list (To be continued.
