Anyone knows how to make an album debut with +1m copies on USA?
First you have to make sure in the edtior that the max for album sales is more than 1M (in the country info), and make sure to have a lot of promo (& hype) before the release (usually a few days/weeks before), and the week during the release.

Hey,
I saw that there's a hype bar for singles/albums, so I wanted to suggest some features that could have some impact on singles hype.
- Single announcement:
Mostly for brand new singles from an unreleased album. The artist will announce a new single throughout social medias, TV, radio or magazines.
This feature will most likely give majority of the hype for a single.
- Single cover announcement:
Also via social media. The cover has an impact on people thoughts on the single (good or bad). Therefore, will change the hype according to the reactions (but the hype will most likely go up).
- Single release date announcement:
Important for first day/first week sales, since people should know when the artist will release the single.
- Features announcement:
If the single has a feature, it will boost a bit the hype.
- Music video:
Once an artist releases a music video for a single, the hype goes up.
*all of these features should have a small impact on the albums hype as well. *All of the features should have an impact on sales too.
---------------------
The same goes for albums as well (album announcement, album cover announcement, TRACKLIST announcement, features, and a release date)
--------------------
Some more features:
- Promo singles.
- Deluxe/reissue albums.
- Remixes for existing songs.
- Pre orders, will boost hype as well.
- Teasers for music videos and songs.

Radio influences charting yes but there is no radio chart but there will be some really extensive updates coming for radio in the future and maybe podcasts stuff too.
Get suggesting your ideas in the suggestion forum I read them all even if I dont reply. Its the first place I look for new ideas.
I'm SO happy to hear that radio will impact the charts in some way, does it give the singles more longevity? (more realistic?)
-
That could be a really cool idea, I would love to see it in the future!
(It will add so much realism too)
-
I didn't think about it breaking the game. In this case, it's very tricky to make the sales as realistic as posible.
There are songs selling over 1 million copies in a week in the US (rarely), and setting the max to 1M will make it very common for songs to sell 1 million copies so that's unfortunate, unless there's a way to make it very rare.
I really hope that streaming will make it more realistic.
-
I asked before if it's possible to add more characters other then dashes, but Mark said that it may not work.

That's maybe why any of the albums or singles in my game couldn't reach higher certifications in some of the countries.
I think that when version 1.3 will come out, the sales will be more realistic.
By the way, what will happen if you set the max sales to 9999999 in every country? Are the sales gonna be really high and not realistic?
-
The database hates those characters im afraid.
Oh ok, good to know.
Thank you for answering :)
-
Hey,
When I change the name of the song or the name of the album, it's only possible to change it to regular characters (A-Z, 0-9), so I wanted to ask if it's possible to add more characters like: ! , . ? + & ect.
Thank you very much.
-
I can yes, ive increased to 50 for 1.3
Great, thank you!
-
Hello,
lately I've been editing the database in the game, but I noticed I've hit the limit of 20 award shows & festivals, so I'm wondering if it's possible to increase the limit to 50 or even without any limits if possible.
Thank you.
-
Not correct.
Im at work at the moment so cant do much right now but still on my radar.
Last nights patch extended how long a release can last until being back catalogued
That's great, thank you very much!
-
Knowing the code way too personally :D this still seems super odd.
Here is an example, the single was in top 10 (in North America) and sold 328K sells in it's last week, and got placed into back-catalogue.
I attached some screenshots, but I don't really think they can help somehow.
-
It cannot possibly have been selling so many after so long. was it rereleased?
The feature is there for performance reasons its pretty much the only reason it would kill the game speed so I needed to cap releases for rhe whole game.
No, I was actually doing promo all the time.
-
When I'm re releasing an album that sold a lot, the re release sells are really bad, why is this happening?
-
After playing the game for a while, the back catalogue was a huge problem for me.
Some of the singels were selling like 200,000 sales a week and they were in top 10 on the charts but the singles still got placed into back catalogue after about 100 days.
Is there any way to somehow remove or "edit" that feature? (Like if the single sells lower then X sales a week)
-
Hello,
after the new patch, when I go to charts > continent/worldwide charts > worldwide single chart > all time chart, the game crashes.
I tried to load the game a few times and to it again, but it still crashes.
I wonder if the problem is only in game, so let me know if you come across this problem too.
Thank you for the help.
-
Hello,
after the new patch (which fixed the bug with ordering stock), I still can't order new stock.
First it was fine, but then the problem came back.
K-pop realism

Yeah I think a kpop system could be very cool but it's also "complicated" and it requeires a bit of research (for those who aren't familiar with it). The game is still isn't complete and there are some core problems (like tours and awards so I think that should be sort out first).
But I would really love to see kpop in this game with music shows & music shows wins, seperate awards shows, hourly/daily charts, fan meeting events, kpop festivals, and maybe even a training system?
