Jay Chou's list of the year's hottest songs, 20 years or him
Jay Chou's list of the year's hottest songs, 20 years or him, look closely at the list, the top 10 have 9 of Jay Chou's works, look at the whole list of more than 50 of his songs, occupying half of the rivers and mountains. Jay Chou dominated the list of the year's hottest songs, 20 years or he
Jay Chou dominated the list of the year's hottest songs, 20 years or he 1Two days ago out of the news: Apple Apple Music announced the world's most played songs in various countries and regions of the world in 2021 TOP 100 list.
We found that in the 100 most played songs in mainland China, 54 of them are from the same singer, which is a sweep.
He is Jay Chou.
In the Top 10, Jay Chou accounted for 9 songs.
In the Top 20, Jay has 17 songs.
In the Top 30, Jay Chou has 26 songs.
In the Top 50, Jay accounted for 42 tracks.
Although there are many middle-aged fans of Jay Chou who still haven't learned how to chart data.
But Jay has earned these honors with his outstanding strength.
It's really not giving other Chinese singers a chance to live.
I don't mean to say Jay is bad.
At our age, who hasn't saved up for a new Jay Chou album?
What "Starry Night", what "Love before the West", what "Seven Miles", what "Simple Love", what "Confession Balloon", that's all my youthful native BGM too.
But I still double-checked it a few times to make sure that it's a list from the year 2021.
Think about it, when was the last time Jay released a new song?
It's still 2020's "mojito"
And of the 9 Jay Chou songs in the top10 on that list, the #1 song, "Seven Miles," was released in 2004, 17 years ago.
The youngest is "Waiting for You to Get Out of Class", also from three years ago.
The oldest, Simple Love, is 20 years old.
Who would have thought that after 20 years, the tools we use to listen to songs have changed from tape recorders to Walkman to CDs to MP3s for countless generations, but the songs played in them are still the same ones that Jay wrote 20 years ago, and are still earning money for him.
We have to recognize that, in fact, Apple Music's list is biased.
For example, many of us don't use the Apple Music app to listen to songs.
For example, on a certain cloud, a certain cool, and a certain q, which we use much more, Jay Chou's songs are either not copyrighted or cost money.
But Jay Chou's domination of the charts is not just on this one platform.
On QQ Music, Jay's songs are charged, but that doesn't stop him from dominating the charts.
For example, in this chart of "QQ Music's single-day listener rankings on October 1", Jay Chou has an absolute advantage, crushing the second place.
And it's important to realize that Jay's songs are paid songs in QQ Music, and you have to be a green diamond member to listen to them.
Paid can still storm free songs, who else?
So Jay Chou dominates the charts, with some platform bias.
But the more important reason is of course: Zhou Dong's songs are the most diao, Jay Chou's position in the Chinese music industry is unshakeable, and the only one who can beat Jay Chou is Jay Chou.
But then again, it's been 20 years, and there are no other good new songs in the Chinese music scene?
This question is too specialized and complex for many professionals to answer.
Let's talk about something we all know: how long has it been since you've heard any new music besides the "old classics"?
It's nonsense to declare that the new generation of Chinese music is a pill based on the fact that one or two platforms' playlists are full of old songs.
But it's also true that we haven't heard any new songs in a long time.
Listening to the song APP it used a few, but back and forth listening to just a few songs, like the singer is just so a few.
It's not that we don't want to listen to new songs, but we don't have a place where we can get to them.
In the past, when singers released new songs, they also played on TV to publicize their songs.
Now we don't know if they still play songs, because we don't even watch TV.
The radio is even more unheard of.
All of these avenues for us to passively hear new songs are basically blocked.
All that's left for me to sit down and seriously listen to a song is the barbershop`s stereo.
But the barbershop downstairs from my house still plays `have to love`, `sea and sky` and `my love` to this day.
Come to think of it, it seems like the only channel left for us to be exposed to new songs is to swipe short videos.
But the songs we've swiped on short videos are hard to explain. "
It's not that these songs are bad.
But there's something about listening to them that makes you feel like you're being mind controlled.
And they're just snippets of fire, even if I've searched for the whole song because I like the snippet, it just doesn't feel right to listen to the whole song.
There's a sense of loss as the Netflix filter suddenly shatters and disappears in front of you.
But this is the only way to get to a new song, and it's being held back by big data algorithms.
Big data pushes more and more homogenized stuff based on our browsing habits and preferences, putting us in a cocoon of information that's completely different from everyone else.
Opening two people's short video apps is like entering two completely different worlds.
So the singer comes out with a new song and the fans go wild, but the passers-by have no idea.
If you don't believe me, please see, this is the 2020 microblogging evaluation of the Asian new song list top10
The songs in this, no matter which one to take out is a few billion dollars of data.
But how many have you heard?
I haven't heard any of them, anyway.
Of course, you could argue that this list is suspected of being watered down by fans.
But do you remember at the end of last year, there was a phenomenal song called The Shepherd of the Cocoto Sea?
Less than a week after the APP was launched, the number of hits broke 500 million, and it went straight to the stage of the Spring Festival Gala that year.
Do you know how shocked I was when I saw my dad, my mom, and my second aunt singing along with the intro to the end?
I was sandwiched between them singing and dancing be like:
"What the fuck? I've never heard this song before, why are you all singing it?!"
They were also quite shocked, and my second aunt didn't get it either. This song has been on their dance team for two months, and I'm a 10G surfer who's been surfing the web on my cell phone every day, so I've never heard of it!
Something that is wildly popular in a small circle can be completely foreign to people who aren't in that circle.
Big data has thus put us into our own cocoons of information to entertain ourselves.
So don't look at us every day with a cell phone, there are endless news gossip paragraphs.
But these do not make us become omniscient, but more closed eyes and ears.
The irony is that we're supposed to be on the Internet to gain insights and to see different points of view collide.
But because of the information cocoon, we are now just spinning in place, and the prejudices we hold about some things, instead of dissipating, have become more extreme.
That's why the internet is always full of confrontation and hostility these days, right?
Jay Chou dominated the list of the year's hottest songs, 20 years or he 2
Recently, Apple Music released the Top100 list of mainland hit songs in 2021.
To everyone's surprise, this list is almost "slaughtered" by Jay Chou's music.
From the list, the Top 10, except for a Justin Bieber's "Peaches", the rest of the 9 are Jay's songs, the top five are: "Seven Miles", "Sunny Day", "Nocturne", "rice" and "all the way to the north".
More than half of the songs in the TOP 100 are from Jay Chou.
It's worth noting that Jay's "Seven Miles of Fragrance" has been dominating Apple Music's domestic Hot 100 for quite some time now.
We have to let people sigh, Jay Chou is really a god forever!
On the one hand, Jay Chou's influence can be described as everlasting;
As a pioneer of Chinese pop music, Jay Chou's varied and distinctive style, fresh and not greasy lyrics, is really a lot of netizens in the mind of the "generation of youth"!
However, in recent years, Jay Chou's song release speed is really slow, the most recent new song or last year's release of "Mojito".
This year, Jay, after being urged by fans to "bombard" him with 200,000 "likes," threw out a 25-second intro music video for his new song and disappeared again.
In the absence of the latest news from Zhou Dong, his old partner, the "royal lyricist" Fang Wenshan became the object of the media's pursuit.
And Fong said he has written three songs, there are other in progress, the new album is expected to be launched next year.
Jay Chou dominated the list of the year's hottest songs, 20 years or he 3
2021, the year, the list of the hottest songs, fresh out of the oven!
top top 100, Jay Chou alone, accounted for 54 songs; top 10, alone 9. This is the first time that Jay Chou has been on the list of top 100 songs, and he is the only one who has 54 of them.
It is reported that the list is based on the number of users listening to the playback, the ranking. "Seven Miles" topped the list, and the top 10 songs can simply be said to be Zhou Dong's exclusive albums.
Take a look at the list and see what familiar songs are on it.
01, ranked the top 20 songs
Ranked in the top 20 songs, Jay Chou alone accounted for 17, there are 2 foreigners sung in English, in addition, the exchange of the rest of the life of J.J. Lin on the list of Chinese songs, can be described as a dazzling presence.
02, ranked 20 ~ 40 songs
This page is even more cattle, in addition to JJ Lin has a sadly not if, the rest of the clear is Jay Chou's name.
03. Songs ranked 40-60
On this page, Jay Chou is on the list of 11 songs, JJ Lin is on the list of one song, and the rest of the songs are English songs, which are still occupying half of the list.
04, ranked 60 ~ 80 songs
This page of Chinese songs, in addition to Jay Chou, JJ Lin, Eason Chan also has 4 songs on the list, but also saw Wu Qingfeng, Deng Ziqi's name, finally there is fresh blood.
05, ranked 80 ~ 100 songs
This page, finally have a "hundred flowers" feeling, is no longer Jay Chou alone dominated the list. But it's also basically pop songs from a decade or so ago, with only Huang Xiaoyun's "Star Ocean" as a new song this year.
Overall, it seems that Jay's songs, alone, occupy more than 50 songs, really occupying half of the mountain!
I remember back in the day, when Jay's songs first came out, the adults at the time, always abhorred. As soon as they heard the TV station, playing Jay Chou's songs all over the street, they couldn't help but spit out the words, the words were not clear, it was too hard to hear, such a song, how did it catch fire?
They don't understand why we like Jay Chou's songs, just like we can't understand that they always listen to the songs sung by Han Baoyi, Long Piao Piao, and Gao Shengmei, it's the same.
The older generation, like grandma, grandma generation, is still obsessed with opera and mountain songs. Each generation's favorite songs are symbols of an era and, of course, an unbridgeable divide.
Jay Chou does have a lot of songs that are so fast that you can't hear the words, like "Nocturne", "Listen to Your Mother", "The Seventh Chapter of the Night", "Materia Medica", "Peninsula Iron Box", "Nyonya", and so on, all of which are in the form of rap+lyrics and the chorus part, without looking at the lyrics, is really not understandable to listen to, and to imitate it is also very difficult to imitate it, but the melody can be heard in the heart of the people. In the past, they used to copy down the lyrics and listen to the song while reading the lyrics. By the time the song got to the lyrical part, everyone could sing along. Years have passed, and every time I see "Nocturne", I will also unconsciously hum "Play Chopin's Nocturne for you, in honor of my dead love, while I play the piano for you incognito, under the moonlight."
In fact, Jay Chou also has a lot of lyrically strong ancient style slow songs: like "Porcelain", "Thousand Miles Away", "Chrysanthemum Terrace", "East Wind Broken", "Hair Like Snow", "The End of the World", "Red Dust Inn", "Smoke and Fireworks", and other classic ancient style songs, the meaning of the beautiful, will be the Chinese style of the most carried forward.
In addition, there are a lot of popular, expressing the contemporary love category of the lyrical slow songs: like "trajectory", "dandelion agreement", "can not say the secret", "love me do not go", "said happy it", "broken strings", "Confession Balloon" and so on. There are both sweet and fresh songs, as well as sad and despondent songs of lost love. There is always a song that depicts our emotions at different times, and you won't get tired of listening to it over and over again.
Seriously taste, these lyrics, are very meaningful, far from the popularity of today's mouth songs, so can be popular for so many years, are justified.
I didn't realize that after 20 years, the songs we listen to the most are still the old ones from 10 years ago. Today's Chinese music scene, is it really declining? What do you think?
Jay Chou dominated the list of the year's hottest songs, 20 years or he 4
Recently, Apple Music launched the 2021 annual top100 list of popular songs in mainland China, it is reported that the list is based on the number of users listening to the song playback rankings.
Looking closely at the list, 9 of the top 10 are Jay Chou's works, and looking at the whole list, there are more than 50 of his songs, taking up half of the list.
Other singers like JJ Lin, Eason Chan, and Gigi Sun have been on the list many times, but these are the oldest singers on the list, and there are very few new singers on the list.
In 2000, Jay Chou came out of nowhere, and after his debut, the Chinese music industry was full of talent, with one high-quality work after another, and we all thought that this was the beginning of the Chinese music industry's prosperity, but we didn't realize that it was the peak.
In recent years, there are only a handful of good works on the market, and a few of the heavenly kings and queens have rarely released new works, and the Chinese music scene is full of mouth-watering songs by lovebirds, which almost no one will listen to except for their fans.
From Jay Chou's debut counted more than 20 years, and now the most popular listeners are still the original batch of singer's works, to say that their works are too classic or now the song is too bad?
