Chapter 620: Chapter 422

(Don’t look yet, adding a title means it’s been revised.)

Line Music is still very attentive to Wu Mu’s new album, not only providing a splash screen recommendation on the music app and a big banner within the platform, but also offering a relevant recommendation resource pack on the Line platform.

But the results...

Atsuta Atsushi looked at the first-day album sales number, 32,177, and sighed gently, "This is the result of no promotion."

Their Line Music’s internal promotion doesn’t really make much of an impact, who goes online to listen to music and pays attention to software recommendations?

The recommendations on the Line platform don’t work either, unlike Hua Country’s software which can forcefully pop up, they can only place recommendations in relevant places, which doesn’t do much.

Forty thousand pre-orders before, converting that many sales is already quite impressive, after all, many people forget to open the software again once they’ve pre-ordered.

Album promotion still needs to be saturated across various radio stations, music magazines, and music programs, as the people from those programs are strongly correlated with album purchasers, and the conversion rate would be high.

But it just so happens that the Hua Country celebrity seems to have some grudge against his own album, just not doing it, what can he do?

"Such a pity for such a high-quality album." Atsuta Atsushi lamented.

He looked at the freshly updated daily numbers on Japan’s Oricon chart.

Oricon chart:

Album "Loser"—Score: 6,436, digital album sales: 32,019 copies, ranking 16.

Actually, more than 30,000 copies on the first day for physical sales isn’t considered low, if the competition isn’t strong recently, it’s likely to break into the top five.

But unfortunately, this is digital album sales, Oricon chart’s digital album statistics coefficient only accounts for 20%, 70% is physical albums, 10% is streaming platform member playback.

This way once weighted, it’s really not much.

Didn’t even make it into the top fifteen of Oricon’s daily chart, can’t really attract much attention.

And this is just the initial release number, can’t expect much moving forward.

This album’s potential is pretty much dragged to nothing.

Atsuta Atsushi shook his head, he couldn’t understand what that Hua Country celebrity was thinking, did they think their album quality was so good it didn’t need promotion?

...

Wu Mu’s new album was released, and because he didn’t promote it on Weibo or do anything, hardly anyone knew domestically.

Well, except for some people...

Beijing, in the apartment rented by Zhang Li.

Han Yan, who came to stay at her friend’s place again, was sprawled on the bed, scrolling on her phone and swinging her feet, "Lili, why hasn’t his Japanese variety show come out yet? Wasn’t it recorded long ago, why no movement?"

Lying under the covers, leaning against the headboard, Zhang Li thought, "That show is made by Netflix, Netflix’s shows usually release the whole season at once, post-production probably takes time."

"Oh, no wonder." Han Yan oh-ed in response, continuing to scroll on her phone.

Then as she scrolled, her phone vibrated.

[Anti-fan group leader]: @everyone.

Han Yan sat up suddenly, "Lili, come look, the anti-fan group leader just tagged everyone!"

Hmm?

"Did something happen again?" Zhang Li lifted the covers to take a look.

Everyone knows that when the anti-fan group leader tags everyone, it means there’s new gossip about Wu Mu.

Han Yan had already entered the anti-fan group chat.

[Anti-fan group leader]: "That dog released his Japanese new album, first-day sales of 32,000."

What?

Han Yan was shocked, "His new album has been released, and even the first-day album numbers are out?"

How come they hadn’t heard anything?

The anti-fan group was also surprised, "When did it release, we didn’t see that dog post on Weibo."

"That dog didn’t have any news on Twitter either, not a sound."

[Anti-fan group leader]: "Released at nine this morning, on the Line Music platform, he posted neither on Weibo nor Twitter, only Line Music gave a push."

"This person is quite attentive, more like a fan than us." Han Yan muttered a bit, not even she, a devoted fan, was aware of this, the anti-fan group leader seemed to have a clear grasp.

The anti-fan group chat was quite lively.

"Is 32,000 on the first day a lot or a little?"

[Anti-fan group leader]: "It’s a lot for regular singers, for physical albums it’s not bad, but considering that dog’s fame, it’s totally inadequate."

"Album sales heavily rely on first-day and first-week data, the first-week data often accounts for about 70% of the total sales data. Many popular idols in Japan there have first-week sales breaking a million, so far there’s over sixty albums with first-week sales breaking a million in Japan."

This everyone understood.

There are over sixty albums in Japan with first-week sales breaking a million, while Wu Mu’s first-day is only 30,000... this is that dog’s Waterloo!

The anti-fans were suddenly excited.

"I knew that dog would definitely fail, he even dreams of being an international superstar, the hype was so strong, but now when it’s time to pay up, he suddenly got exposed?"

"He might as well just manipulate data domestically and have some brainless fans pay for him, but going abroad where data can’t be manipulated, he’s suddenly nothing."

"Really embarrassing, even wanting to turn around and suppress the pop youth group? Even though they’re indeed a bunch of fools, desperately paying homage to him, but abroad they still beat him hands down!"
