On July 8, Jay Chou's album "'s greatest work " opened for pre-sale. As of press time, sales across the entire network have exceeded 25 million, and sales have exceeded 1.5 million. He is the singer with the best sales performance in 2022, and must not Needless to say, ginger is still spicy.
However, if you look at the sales rankings, you will find that the sales of Jay Chou's new album have not exceeded the sales of the two singles included in it, and there is still a gap between the 39 million sales of the previous album "Jay Chou's Bedside Stories" .
In addition, there is another statistics that sales volume has reached 46 million, but the sales data is also about 1.5 million. According to the total selling price of 30 yuan, it is correct. This result may be due to double counting of the two orders that have been sold. Qu price.
It is reported that "The Greatest Work" contains a total of 12 songs, with an official price of 30 yuan, of which there are only 6 new songs, which is equivalent to 5 yuan per song. However, if you have purchased the already sold "Mojito" and "说好不看" before, you can deduct another 6 yuan, which is equivalent to 4 yuan per song.
For this price, many fans are off guard. Some fans think that 30 yuan for only 6 new songs is expensive and insincere, while other fans directly criticize fans who complain about the price, saying that many singles released in 2022 will be priced at 4 yuan, so the price of 24 yuan for new songs is normal.
Moreover, Jay Chou also gave extra piano music. As for the three songs " Waiting for You After Class ", " If You Don't Love Me, Pull Down ", and "I Believe So", they are equivalent to free gifts. If you think they are too expensive, you don't have to buy them. Need to complain everywhere.
If you look through the 2022 song sales list, you will indeed find some songs with a single price of 4 yuan, but songs with a single price of 3 yuan still account for the majority. Therefore, selling a single for 4 yuan has not yet become a common phenomenon.
In terms of quality, fans are also very ruthless in their complaints. They think it is inappropriate to put a song like "If You Don't Love Me, Pull Me Down" into the "The Greatest Work" album. They also asked, "Don't even Jay Chou blush?" Fans are looking forward to their idol's mission to save the music industry, but Jay Chou has a bad attitude and is arrogant and arrogant based on his good reputation. If he still wants the Golden Melody Award, sooner or later he will have to be a fan.
From the music review of the MV of the same name for "The Greatest Work", it can be seen that Jay Chou's music has not improved, but has regressed and rested on its laurels. A preview track has been listened to by everyone and it feels like a patchwork of old songs. The singing I was also criticized for not maintaining my voice well as I got older. This is indeed a big blow to fans who have been waiting for three and three years, and it feels too perfunctory.
From the perspective of the completeness of the album, Jay Chou's patchwork traces are indeed very strong. This also reflects a practical problem. Jay Chou is indeed unable to write more breakthrough songs, and can only collect the singles scattered by Lin Lin. Into an album, the music styles are mixed and the styles are inconsistent. Jay Chou is no longer the Jay Chou who easily wrote more than 200 songs for other artists.
For Jay Chou, many people cannot bear to describe him as "a man who has exhausted his talents". They just think that the comfortable life has consumed his aura, leaving him with no new creative inspiration.
I would like to say something to fans who have high expectations. Listening to music is just one of the entertainment projects. Don’t ask too much of original musicians who have passed their peak creative period. Moreover, good works are more expensive than quantity. The six unreleased new songs may have unexpected surprises. Only by lowering your psychological expectations can you get more happiness.
