In the past, to see how popular a singer is, it may depend on the song’s pop chart performance or album sales. And the main point is to look at the number of fans on social platforms or the number of MV plays. Recently, some netizens checked Youtube’s music data analysis tool and found that Yan Mingxi (Gigi), who was originally from TVB’s “Legend of Sound Dreams”, among the MV viewers of his songs, many came from overseas, suggesting that he was suspected of “watering”!
According to netizens’ clues, the number of MVs of Gigi’s songs on Youtube has totaled 2.44 million in the past 28 days. In terms of countries/regions, Hong Kong has the most 970,000 times, but the second and third are actually less Chinese. India (153,000) and Turkey (121,000), with another 120,000 from Ukraine and 105,000 from Russia.
In the same way, the editor compares MIRROR (No. 1) and Hins Cheung (No. 5), which occupy the top ten most broadcasts of Hong Kong music works on YouTube (in the past 28 days). For the MV including MIRROR’s group song and members’ personal works, most of the viewers on Youtube are Hong Kong users, followed by Macau. The MIRROR MV has all hits from India, but it only ranks 9th in terms of times (94,600). Based on the number of MIRROR-related works played in 28 days, the viewing rate of Indian audiences accounts for about 0.5%. The viewing rates of Hins Cheung and Yan Mingxi in India are about 2.66% and 6.2% respectively.
Looking at the distribution of the cities where the audience is located, MIRROR’s MVs outside of Hong Kong and Macau are mostly from places where Chinese people live, such as Sydney, Australia, London, England, Markham, Canada, Toronto and Vancouver. Xuan Zai is more popular in Southeast Asia (Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Taipei, Johor Bahru). In contrast, among Yan Mingxi MV viewers, Hong Kong still accounts for the most (964,000 views), followed by Macau (34,600 views), Istanbul, Turkey and Peru in third and fourth place. Lima, among the top 10 players are Kiev, Ukraine, Bogota, Colombia, etc., which are different from MIRROR and Xuanzai.
Some netizens “highly praised” Gigi’s song “Out of the World”, and some people suspected that the MV watching digital was flooded. However, from the analysis of netizens’ messages, we can also find out how many “Indian listeners” Gigi has:
1. There are not many users who rely on VPN to go over the wall to the Indian version of youtube to register as a paid member, because the fees are flat compared to Hong Kong or other regions, and if they want to enjoy the ad-free broadcasting benefits of paid members, they also have to use Indian IP to go over the wall and use Indian IP first. . So the clicks from “India” and “Ukraine” are not necessarily a local audience.
2. Since the mainland cannot watch Youtube, or there are TVB viewers along the coast of South China who want to watch the MV of Yan Mingxi on Youtube, they have to go over the wall. However, due to the cooperation between TVB and mainland video platforms in recent years, mainland users should be able to see it without turning over the wall, so the possibility is relatively small.
