Chapter 363 MTV Award Nomination
After finishing filming, Link drove to Jianghai Building in Jiangpu New District. On the way, he received calls from Evaca and Mandy, and the three of them chatted about some things.
First of all, the sales volume of "The Woman I Love" in the United States fell below 10,000 copies this week, and its ranking on the album chart has also dropped to outside the 30th place. This album has been released for five months, and has currently sold 4.45 million copies in the United States. Its potential seems to have been exhausted. All.
?In terms of overseas sales, thanks to his tour and numerous scandal reports, overseas sales this month reached 2.24 million, and global cumulative sales are 18.72 million. There is great hope to exceed 20 million within the year.
This week, Taylor''s "LastKiss" fell to second place after being number one for five consecutive weeks, with sales of 125,000 copies, and cumulative sales of 3.02 million copies in the United States. It is temporarily ranked third in the annual album sales rankings, and its growth is still strong.
Since Taylor''s overseas influence is not as good as his own, the overseas sales of this album were average, about 5.35 million copies.
?Seeing this data, Link secretly thought that he had made a mistake. He should have compared Taylor with whose album sales were higher globally, rather than the national data.
This week is also the second week after Selena''s second album "AYearWithoutRain" was released. It sold 247,000 copies in the first week, ranking second on the album chart.
?? Last week when Selena released her new album, Link followed Little Round Face’s request and sent a tweet on Twitter, hoping that everyone would support her new album.
As a result, fans ridiculed him, saying that he didn''t want to see Taylor''s albums continue to sell well and was worried about being defeated by Taylor on the album chart, so he used Selena''s new album to suppress Taylor.
This is a world full of love, so people who like my songs must be more than Taylor. The success of my album in sales also represents the victory of ‘love’. Everyone who has love in their hearts is a winner.
Link retorted that it was all false news. If he only chatted with women and talked about work, it would be considered a scandal. He might not even have the right to talk to women in the future. He hoped that everyone would not believe the rumors and not spread them. Rumors would only stop with the wise.
It was also posted that during his concert in China, many scandals were exposed by the Chinese media, claiming that he had affairs with many Chinese female stars, including Chris Liu, Jennifer Shu, Zhou Xun, Wang Fei, He Chaolian, Elaine Tsai, Female celebrities such as Alice Lee and Jun Ji-hyun.
Fans teased him for saying nice things, but they still couldn''t hide the fact that he was a scumbag.
?Link refuted this statement.
Since this song is a duet between Link and Selena, it is also considered to be a song he wrote to Taylor after their breakup.
Seeing that Link and Taylor, a pair of crazy men and women, both supported Selena, fans said that Selena was the final winner.
said that among the 18 songs in his third album "The Woman I Love", each one says "I love you", and each one represents the most sincere love.
?Some people took the opportunity to call on everyone to continue to support Taylor, defeat him as a scumbag, and let justice defeat evil.
?Taylor also retweeted Selena’s tweet announcing the new album.
The lead single "We don''t talk any more" also topped the singles chart this week.
With the promotion of the two, Selena''s new album "A Year Without Rain" sold 148,000 copies this week, narrowly winning the sales championship.
In the end it was Taylor who came to the rescue.
? And each of the 14 songs in Taylor''s third album "LastKiss" is written with resentment and "I don''t love you."
Taylor’s fans said that he was asking for it because he didn’t cherish Taylor before.
?Selena also posted a cute smiling face on Twitter in time, saying, "It doesn''t matter whether you love or not, cuteness is the most important."
This single topped the singles chart and was considered a victory for the three of them.
Of course, many fans continue to criticize him for being a "scumbag with good songs" and "a scumbag with deep love", saying that he was kicked out and released many good songs in a row, like a treasure chest, and suggested that Ivaca and his scandals His girlfriend kicked him and asked him to write more good songs.

Who has won the most awards and who has the most influence on the European and American music circles this year. singer.
The MTV Recording Awards this year will be held in mid-September, and Link needs to go back during the concert.
?In addition, Ivaca also mentioned that Ariana Grande has signed up for Link Music and asked him what his plans are.
Link thought for a while and said that they would be treated the same as Charlie Puth. They would be allowed to learn composition in the recording studio first. With Graeme, David Kahn, and Mars as their professional musicians, they should be able to learn something. I won’t consider releasing an album until a year or two later.
Ivaca suggested that they go to "American Idol" to gain some fame and performance experience.
?Link thinks this arrangement is not bad.
??He also asked about the new albums of Lana Del Rey and Mars.
?The two of them released their last album nearly a year ago and are also preparing for their second album. Link is busy holding concerts and preparing for his fourth album, so there are no new songs for them.
?However, he can help check the songs during song production and suggest some modifications to avoid detours.
After making the call, he took two gifts for two Japanese teachers to the apartment on the 30th floor of Jianghai Building and rang the doorbell twice.
In fact, he had the key to the smart lock of the apartment, but out of courtesy, he pressed the doorbell first to give the people in the house some time to prepare.
He waited for two minutes but no one came to open the door. He was about to call to ask about the situation when the door opened from the inside, revealing a fresh and refined face. He held the door and nodded at him.
“How nice of you, Mr. Baker, I kept you waiting for so long.”
“How generous are you, Teacher Yui!”
?Link returned the greeting and walked through the door with the gift.
