Single — Music Guide
Records
There are two types of records in the game on which you record and release your songs. Singles and albums should be among your high priorities as an artist, both for advancing your career and for earning money from music. Singles and albums differ in many respects, so we will examine them under separate headings.
Single
A single consists of two songs. For maximum efficiency, it should be released every 28 days. Once 27 days have passed since the previous record’s release, you can release your single without suffering any loss. Records released early both sell less and contribute less to your power boost. The selling price of one single is $3.5. Ask for it at all music stores.
The single’s quality score is determined by the average quality and recording quality of the two songs. The song you place first is called the first song or the a-side. This song can enter the radio charts much more easily than the second song. Therefore, the first song is the one whose popularity you will raise and which you will take to the top of the charts, and from which you will also get greater efficiency on stage thanks to this high popularity.
The second song should be used as a balancing song for sales; it is also known as the b-side. In single sales, the system takes the popularity–fame difference into account. When a song’s fame starts to rise above 16%, its daily popularity decreases start to become noticeable. You need to keep your second song right at this boundary. A new song with fame of 15–16 will also have popularity of around 16–17. When making this fine popularity calculation, you should also take into account the popularity increase that will come from the release party. After keeping and saving your second song at these levels for 7–8 weeks, you can put it to use by playing it at your concerts.
The highest quality level for a single is earth-shaking. To reach this quality, both songs used must be chosen from HIT songs, and at least one of the performance or production scores in the recording quality section must be revolutionary. Sometimes even this may not be enough. When choosing your songs, do not neglect to place the higher-quality song first. I will discuss how the musical subgenres of songs on a single should be selected in the music genre popularity section.
The factors affecting single sales are:
- Song quality
- Recording quality
- Balance of the popularity–fame difference
- City fame
- Market shares
- Single release timing (28-day interval)
