**Chapter 068: I Have Three Songs Over Ten Million Downloads, Does No One Care?**
Qin Xuerong drove Wang Qian to his doorstep, gave him a sweet smile, waved him goodbye, and only then drove away once he was inside.
As the car left the community, Qin Xuerong was still humming the song "To Xuerong," looking very happy.
Jiang Yu, with her arms crossed, leaned back in her seat, glanced at the happy Qin Xuerong, then looked out the window and softly said, "Sister Xuehong arrives tomorrow, right?"
Qin Xuerong's smile instantly froze, then slowly faded away, and she stopped humming. She replied softly, "Yes, tomorrow night."
Murong Yue's eyes widened, "Why is Sister Xuehong coming? Does she have a signing event? Is she releasing a new work?"
Qin Xuerong said, "I don't know, I didn't ask."
Jiang Yu looked at Qin Xuerong and laughed, "Did you tell Sister Xuehong about Wang Qian?"
Qin Xuerong stayed silent and continued driving.
...
When Wang Qian got home, he habitually started running hot water for a bath.
Lying in the hot water, he held his laptop and went online.
There were two main topics of discussion on the internet.
First, the tenth season of "The Voice" was about to premiere, and everyone was talking about the contestants and the mentors!
Wang Qian was currently the only highly popular contestant revealed.
So, most people were discussing his appearance tonight.
"Already sitting in front of the TV, waiting for 'The Voice' to start. Will the boss's opening be amazing?"
"I heard the boss has been eliminated!"
"Nonsense, if he was eliminated, would the show promote someone who's only appeared once?"
"I just want to know who the four mentors are this season. Will any from last season stay? I really like Li Kang and hope he stays."
"I heard Wang Jingyu is going to be a mentor, she was my idol when I was a kid, can't wait."
"If they could get Mr. Cui as a mentor, that would be awesome! My bedroom was full of his posters when I was a kid."
...
Besides "The Voice," the other big entertainment news was Li Qingyao's new song surpassing ten million downloads.
The news was everywhere.
Anyone online could see the headlines about Li Qingyao's new song hitting ten million downloads.
Casual listeners were drawn in by the hype, boosting the song's numbers even more.
...
Wang Qian, without an agency to fully capitalize on the popularity from "The Voice," saw the public's attention gradually shift away from him throughout the day.
People began focusing on other aspects of the show.
This was partly guided by the show’s producers and partly by the agents of other contestants or mentors.
Such a big show couldn't focus all its resources on just one person.
Getting a solo cover feature was already a huge opportunity.
Wang Qian checked his Weibo; over the course of the day, his followers had increased by another 500,000, reaching over 3.6 million. The growth rate was slowing, but the benefits were already significant.
He noted that there were still over half an hour until the show started.
Relaxing online, he planned to finish his bath and then watch TV.
Entering the Tengfei Music website, he looked at the new song monthly chart.
Li Qingyao was still number one. In just one day, her streaming data skyrocketed by tens of millions, reaching an impressive 150 million. Downloads also surged, breaking through 12 million, an increase of over 2 million in a day, making it the highest data for a new song in recent years.
However.
Wang Qian's six songs also saw significant increases, though not as much as Li Qingyao's.
But Wang Qian had three songs that surpassed ten million downloads.
Isn't that even more shocking?
Unfortunately!
No media coverage.
Wang Qian chuckled to himself and carefully examined the data.
Second, "Not So Simple," Qianqian Gentleman, streams 25,863,580, downloads 10,360,620.
Third, "Ordinary Road," Qianqian Gentleman, streams 23,904,600, downloads 10,172,415.
Fourth, "Once You," Qianqian Gentleman, streams 21,235,341, downloads 10,003,100.
Fifth, "I Believe," Qianqian Gentleman, streams 19,153,689, downloads 7,030,498.
Sixth, "Alive," Qianqian Gentleman, streams 18,002,245, downloads 6,005,610.
Seventh, "Those Flowers," Qianqian Gentleman, streams 10,809,090, downloads 3,807,231.
Each of these would be an absolute blockbuster in the music industry!
But...
Strangely.
Wang Qian's simultaneous achievement of having six songs in the top ten of the new song chart and three songs with over ten million downloads went unreported by major media outlets and influential bloggers.
It was as if...
This achievement didn't exist.
Only a few small, lesser-known media outlets covered it briefly.
Additionally, Wang Qian's fans and supporters were celebrating among themselves.
But others!
No one seemed to care.
They were all focused on "The Voice."
On Li Qingyao's new song surpassing ten million downloads.
On other big-name celebrities' activities...
No one cared that Wang Qian had accomplished something unprecedented in Chinese pop music.
And, looking at the potential.
Wang Qian believed that "I Believe," currently in fifth place, could also surpass ten million downloads this month.
By the end of the month, he would likely have at least four songs with over ten million downloads each.
This data...
Since the formalization of digital music downloads, no one had achieved this.
Neither the superstars of ten years ago nor today's idols.
No one had done it.
Wang Qian, who had spent over ten years in the entertainment industry in his previous life, knew that it wasn't just about not spending money on promotion. Such a significant news story would still be covered by media outlets to attract attention, even without paid promotion.
After all, this kind of news is really big and can draw people in, which is the most important thing.
But no one did.
Wang Qian knew there was a web of forces around him, deliberately preventing him from getting more exposure.
A sense of pressure and constraint was growing inside him.
But there was nothing he could do about it now.
He could only celebrate on his own Weibo, sharing the news with his supporters and thanking them for their support.
"Three songs have now surpassed ten million downloads each, thanks to you all for the surprise. I really appreciate your support. I think no one has done this before, right?"
A short message!
Conveying confidence and a sense of helpless rebellion.
No one has done it before...
Why isn't such a groundbreaking achievement making headlines?
Ha!
Wang Qian clicked send and immediately saw many fans responding.
"The boss's achievements are truly terrifying. I only noticed Tengfei Music's charts after downloading the boss's songs and saw that he's dominating everyone else. Amazing!"
"Why isn't the boss's incredible feat making headlines?"
"That Li Qingyao's first place is laughable. The song is average, but the hype is enormous. 150 million streams, but only 12 million downloads? What's so impressive? Look at the boss's data! If the boss had 150 million streams, he'd have at least 50 million downloads..."
"Support the boss, take down Li Qingyao."
"Boss, looking forward to seeing you on TV."
"Boss, are you singing a new song on the show?"
...
Seeing the support from his fans, Wang Qian felt much more relaxed.
Rankings are just numbers.
Loyal fans are what truly matter.
But, taking down Li Qingyao?
It seems he might have already done that many times.
He quietly liked that comment!
Then, he put on a bathrobe, sat on the sofa in the living room, and turned on the TV.
Waiting!
Bzzzz...
The phone vibrated.
Wang Qian glanced at it, slightly surprised.
It was Sun Jing calling.
