Chapter 93
“Chairman, those two songs from Solflare Entertainment have entered the top fifty on the download chart,” the staff member reported.
“Go on, get out of here. Top fifty is a world away from the top three. Our songs are number one; it’s natural for there to be others behind us p>
“But p>
“No buts. Leave p>
What kind of name was Solflare anyway? It sounded like some second-rate company. Did Mercer Vision Entertainment really need to worry about a puny little company like that? The employee had no sense, couldn’t he see they were busy? The victory party was a roaring success. They drank their fill, ate heartily, and indulged their sense of superiority. That night, they all slept more soundly and comfortably than they had in a long time.
But Solflare Entertainment’s two songs weren’t resting.
A pair of songs created by an unknown singer, a new composer, and two other artists who weren’t exactly A-listers had completely upended the online world.
Despite the lack of a major promotional push and their inconspicuous placement on the Nightglow Music platform, the lyrics and melodies struck a deep chord with listeners.
A soul as gifted as mine
Was meant for a life of light.
So why, after twenty-odd years,
Am I still just a face in the crowd?
The song’s opening immediately drew people in. Just a few short lines were enough to captivate the heart and soul.
It was as if all their long-suppressed frustrations had vanished in an instant.
“Someone as cowardly as me p>
“Who always holds back in everything p>
“How could I have once, for someone else,” “Thought of throwing all caution to the wind p>
As the song reached its climax,
listeners felt themselves tremble et Every line struck the net
sensitive
nerves and the softest parts of their hearts.
In that moment, they forgot everything, their minds filled only with the lyrics p>
After hearing it, everyone’s first instinct was to share it-either directly on their Instagram or in their group chats.
And it was all happening organically.
More and more people discovered the songs, until that night, they exploded in popularity.
In just one night, the two songs had, with an unstoppable momentum, skyrocketed into the top ten on every chart in an unbelievable fashion.
Most notably, on the highly prestigious download chart, they had botely surpassed Mercer Vision Entertainment’s “You in the Sunset Glow” and “Little Bee,” claiming the first and second spots.
The next morning, Mira woke up and had just turned on her phone when she was startled by over a dozen missed calls.
Had something gone wrong?
Mira called back.
“It’s a hit! It’s a hit! A massive hit!” Kieran’s frantic voice came through the phone.
“What’s a hit?” Mira hadn’t caught on yet.
“The songs! Our two songs p>
“Chairman, we didn’t sleep at all last
night. We… we… kept watching.
They’ve already shot up to the
number one and
No spots on the
main download chart!” The second voice belonged to the newly
appointed music director, Callum.
Mira remembered him as a very level-headed person. Why did he sound so incoherent?
“Callum, you didn’t have to stay up all night. I’m not paying you overtime, you know,” Mira teased.
“No overtime pay needed, none at all! We’re just thrilled that our songs are making a fortune p>
They were new to their roles and eager to prove themselves, so their excitement was understandable.
“Alright. I’ll make sure you both get a hefty bonus and commission at the end of the month p>
“Besides the download chart, they’re in the top five on the other eight charts too,” Callum added, so excited he could barely speak.
