"Congratulations, Cao."

Cao Xuan, who is in the propaganda department of the United States, has been congratulated wherever he goes in the past two days.

Setting a new record for the number of weeks at the top of the Billboard singles chart is no small feat in itself, let alone going head-to-head with two popular superstars, Rihanna and Emmy.

It is no exaggeration to say that this time I stepped on the heads of these two people and got out of the circle.

Without this head-on confrontation, "See You Again" might not be as popular, but it would have a huge influence in the field of music.

The public may know and have heard of this song, but they may not pay special attention to it. After all, not everyone cares about the Billboard charts. Most people just listen to the song.

However, maybe people don't care about the list, but they still like to watch the superstars compete.

The three major superstars competing for the chart gave the song a somewhat legendary quality, and also allowed more people to understand its achievements on the Billboard, causing its influence and status to rise.

The famous American music media "Rolling Stone" magazine directly announced this year's top ten songs list with only half a year left.

Among them, the second to ninth places are blank, and the first place is "See you again". The meaning is obvious. The others may be up for grabs, but there is no suspense about the number one hit song in 2013.

This statement has been recognized by many media.

In terms of song quality, influence, achievements, album/single sales, etc., the achievements of "See you again" are crazy. I dare not say that it is unprecedented or unprecedented, but it is definitely possible. Entered into the history of pop music.

Anyway, during this period of time, major media and music critics in the United States have been criticizing Cao Xuan's new album in different ways.

Not to mention Asia and China, just like the Chinese New Year, translate the news about the Yankees playing Cao Xuan, and repeat it yourself, and you will be twice as happy.

On June 18, another issue of Billboard Weekly was published, and "See You Again" once again beat Rihanna and Timmy's collaborative song to win the championship.

Won the championship for a total of 19 weeks!

It is only one step away from winning the championship for 20 weeks. If it can succeed, it will definitely be a milestone achievement for Billboard.

Fans from the entire North American music scene and even the world music scene mingle together.

Some people strongly support Cao Xuan to win the championship and create a super myth, while others even call on Rihanna, Emmy, and other singers currently at the top of the Billboard singles chart, and even Billboard officials to stop Cao Xuan.

Even though Cao Xuan is already one of the top singers in Billboard history, they still don't want such a legendary record to be obtained by a Chinese.

Both sides held different opinions, and even caused a certain degree of small-scale scolding on the Internet.

At first, mainly European and American fans and netizens participated. No matter how many fans Cao Juan has, compared with the netizens and fans of other singers, they still belong to a disadvantaged group.

Therefore, Cao Xuan's side suffered at the beginning of this scolding war.

Until a large number of fans participated in the battle, fans from China, Japan and South Korea joined forces, and there was a group of Asan brothers watching the fun, which completely made up for the disadvantage in numbers, or even exceeded it slightly.

Although the scolding war inevitably caused some controversy between this song and Cao Xuan, it is undeniable that this matter also brought huge heat and attention.

Even though countless people support Rihanna, Mu Ye and other singers, "See You Again" also received concentrated support from Cao Xuan's countless fans.

According to official statistics from the International Phonographic Association, sales of Cao Xuan's new album surged by 890,000 copies in just one week.

The digital sales of the single "See You Again" reached a terrifying 3.92 million, setting a new sales record on all major platforms.

You know, this data is almost half a year after the new album was released, and it has completely passed the outbreak period. What's more important is that this data is only for North America.

According to later media statistics, this week's data surged by more than 70% from Asia, Europe, South America, Australia and other regions.

Many fans of Cao Xuan do not hesitate to increase the price to order albums overseas, or follow the tutorials to buy singles on North American websites, in order to increase Cao Xuan's ranking weight.

Those who have money will pay, and those who have no money will go to the website to provide clicks or radio on-demand rates.

There is even a big boss on domestic Weibo who has specially published a tutorial to teach netizens how to circumvent the firewall and how to help "See You Again" hit the charts.

Major Internet platforms, and even the official authorities, turned a blind eye and waited until private tutorials became popular all over the place before deleting the circumvention tutorials. A week later, they began to crack down on circumvention software.

With the support of Cao Xuan’s fans and even a large number of Asian passerby netizens.

The data of "See You Again" that week exceeded the sum of the second to sixth places. This is even if many people participated in the blockade. Otherwise, it would be one against ten, or even more.

In addition to giving Cao Xuan great advantages, the above-mentioned things also make Bulletin Board fearful.

In fact, the relationship between Cao Xuan and Billboard has been pretty good in the past few years, otherwise it would not have been possible to win so many championships. However, with a lot of opposition and controversy, it is inevitable that there will be some differences of opinion within Billboard.

Bulletin boards are not a good idea.

Cao Xuan suffered a setback when he first entered the international market and became the second-largest player in a thousand years. Later, he made a strong counterattack and added various forms of kidnapping, coercion and inducement. Only then did he reach a settlement with Billboard, and both parties entered the honeymoon period.

But in fact, there is always a force within Billboard that is making trouble. Last year, Psy's "Gangnam Style" failed to win the championship is the best proof.

Cao Xuan's new album is going smoothly. On the one hand, he is relatively difficult to deal with, and Billboard does not dare to take advantage of him. On the other hand, Billboard needs popularity.

Cao Xuan's consecutive championships have greatly increased his status and reputation, and it is also a good exposure for the bulletin board.

As one of the singers with the best performance on Billboard, Cao Xuan is one of the few singers who can bring a lot of attention and exposure to Billboard when he is on the charts.

Those who can compare with him are the likes of Sister Niu, Michael Jackson, Madonna, The Beatles, etc. in their prime, or gimmicks such as the melee between singing stars. Other singers are somewhat inferior.

Only when these few sing songs. The popularity of the bulletin board increased by several percent, and it even became the center of discussion in the entertainment industry.

Billboard, which has tasted the benefits, is also interested in building momentum for other singers besides Cao Xuan. Currently, Rihanna is more important, and is ready to be promoted as the next generation king of Billboard.

Let’s not talk about Rihanna, but at this stage, Cao Xuan is indeed the singer that Billboard relies on the most. The two parties are mutually beneficial to a certain extent, and the cooperation is a win-win situation.

So this is one of the reasons why Cao Xuan is successful in Billboard. Billboard officials will not cause trouble for him, and will even add fuel to the flames to a certain extent.

However, this time the impact was relatively large. There were also disputes among the top brass of Billboard, but in the end they still sided with Cao Xuan.

There is no way, there is too much attention from the outside world. Well, there may be many people who don't want Cao Xuan to get what he wants, but there are also many people who support him.

No matter how you do the bulletin board, it will cause backlash. It is better to maintain a tacit understanding with Cao Xuan. On the one hand, continuing the good relationship with Cao Xuan will also maximize your own interests.

In late June, this week's Billboard new issue found that "See You Again" successfully achieved three consecutive championships, and has won the championship for a total of 20 weeks.

There is no one like this before, and it will be hard to come by anyone in the future!

Billboard officially sent congratulations to "See you again" and Cao Xuan on social platforms.

【20 weeks! 140 days! The single that has topped the Billboard Hot 100 for the longest time - "See you again\
