Xu Ran, one of the country's top singers.
Had just released a new song today, available since noon. And it was already in second place on the Penguin Music download chart.
The difference to the first place was minimal, just a few hundred downloads behind.
With this trend, it was only a matter of minutes until it reached the top of the list.
His manager had already contacted the marketing team. As soon as it reached first place, news about his new song would spread throughout the internet the next day.
"It should already be at the top, right?"
He took a sip of water, checked Penguin Music, and saw that his new song was still in second place.
He was stunned for a moment and checked the number of downloads for the new song: 163,000!
He quickly realized that the third place below him was the original number one.
"What the hell is going on?"
"I've surpassed him already, why am I still in second place?"
With doubts, he raised his eyelids and saw the number one song.
"'Tomorrow Will Be Better,' with 31 million?"
"Singer: Chen Yang. Who is this guy?"
Xu Ran looked confused. Where did this song come from?
Who is Chen Yang?
After a brief moment of confusion, Xu Ran snorted heavily.
He was a star in the music industry and at the peak of his popularity. How could he not have heard of Chen Yang?
He didn't need to ask, this could only be a big hoax!
31 million downloads? How dare he challenge him?
He grabbed his phone and dialed his manager's number: "Sister Huang, get in touch with Penguin Music. There's a big phony trying to undermine me!"
However, upon hearing Sister Huang sigh on the other end of the line, he realized something was wrong.
"You're talking about the song 'Tomorrow Will Be Better,' right?"
"Yes, that's it! Sister Huang, you heard it too?"
"He's not a phony."
"What? It can't be!" Xu Ran was stunned.
"Just listen to it and then tell me. Unfortunately... You released a new song at the same time this song exploded. It's just bad luck."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Ran was still a bit stunned.
'What do you mean by "I'm unlucky"?'
'I've never heard of this Chen Yang. Who is he?'
"Moreover, Sister Huang said he's not a scammer."
"Is this song really better than my new song?"
"But over 30 million downloads... Isn't that a bit exaggerated?"
He clicked on the song with some incredulity.
A few minutes later, Xu Ran was stunned: "This song... is so good!"
But even though it sounds good, the number of downloads is a bit exaggerated, right?
He checked online and wondered who this person was.
After a few minutes, Xu Ran was stunned.
This is actually a national anthem!
