Chapter 380 Worldwide Fame

To understand the hype around Moonlight, we have to go back a few hours earlier on that same day when the Track's Worldwide Charts was released.

As the most developed country in the world, the trending topics in Sakura Abode Country affected the world trending topics. After all, the most famous artists and trends came from it. So, what made success in it was likely to be famous around the world too.

The Sakura Abode Country was not called the Entertainment Country in vain.

When Moonlight topped the SA Charts the day before, it was not only the people from the Sakura Abode Country that were shocked by his feat. Everyone around the world also became shocked by his feat. Consequently, people from other countries listened to his album to understand why there was so much hype related to Moonlight in the Sakura Abode Country.

And when people from other countries heard his album, they loved it as everyone else did. They could not stop listening to the album, and the streams all around the world skyrocketed.

Each song of his album managed to hit at least 15 million streams all around the world, and 'Perfect' managed to hit staggering 20 million streams.

It is important to remember that the Track Streaming Service was a giant in the music industry. The service was present in 99% of the countries, which meant at least 1 billion active users all around the world. Sometimes the number of active users was even double that.

Just by these numbers, we can understand that Track was even bigger than Spotify.

With so many users, the 20 million streams in the 'Perfect' song seem little. But we have to consider the fact that it was a New Year Season, and no other artist managed to surpass the traditional New Year songs at this time of the year. Plus, the fact that it was the first time Moonlight appeared on the worldwide charts.

Without even saying that EVERY song of his album managed to get as many streams. In total, the ten songs of his album had 183 million streams.

His album had 183 million streams!

Just with this number, Moonlight broke the existing record of the most streamed album in one day!

He broke the record by such a large number that the previous record was only 100 million streams in one day. He surpassed the previous record by almost doubling the previous record!

And people all around the world expected that he would break the record again tomorrow!

Now the hype was not only in the Sakura Abode Country but all over the world. Moonlight topped the worldwide trending topics during the whole day!

And we have been talking only about the numbers from Track Worldwide Charts, but the numbers on the four music videos Theo released on Ruby were also staggering.

As soon as people heard about Moonlight, they would go to either the Track App or the Ruby App to search for him.

They would either want to hear his songs or watch his music videos.

After all, everyone was talking about his songs and his amazing music videos.

And without any surprise, the music videos went viral as well.

Each of Moonlight's music videos had an increase of more than 100 million views in the last 24 hours!

Especially the 'Believer' M/V which had an increase of 120 million views.

With these numbers, the four music videos entered the top 10 list of most viewed videos in 24 hours on Ruby.

There were so many records being broken that news channels reported throughout the entire day the records being broken, which added even more fuel to the hype.

There had never been such an artist before in the music industry.

Everyone was hungry for information about the person shaking the whole world with his music, but strangely there was no information about him. They didn't even know his face. Which made everyone hungry for information about Moonlight.

It was then that Destiny and Wonder Magazines released their interview with Arthur and the others. The two interviews went viral as soon as they were uploaded online.

Destiny's interview was more serious with pertinent questions. After all, it was a renowned magazine.

Like their contact with Moonlight and his demands.

Interviewer: 'What were Moonlight's demands for the music videos?'

Arthur: 'He mostly asked us to pay attention to the actors' performances to give life to his songs through their acting.'

Kanna: 'Yes, that was his most important request. We had to give life to his songs through what we filmed. And that was our goal in the entire duration of the shootings.'

Interviewer: 'I believe you guys heard his songs before anyone else. What was your reaction to them?'

Arthur: 'We were shocked that such a talented artist was unknown.'

Kate: 'I remember when he played Perfect for us. We were having a meeting in a coffee shop, and Moonlight played a song in the middle of the shop. And as soon as the song was played, everyone in the shop stopped to listen to it. Some people even cried. When the song ended, some people even asked for Moonlight's autograph and selfies with him.'

The other questions were like these.

But the interview posted by Wonder Magazine was much more focused on gossip around Moonlight.

Wonder Magazine Interviewer: 'Can you describe Moonlight's appearance?'

Arthur: 'It's difficult for us to answer that because the two times we saw him, he was wearing a mask that covered 80% of his face.'

Kanna: 'I would say he is a tall man around his mid-20s. And he has gray hair and red eyes.'

Interviewer: 'He never revealed his face to you guys?'

Arthur: 'No, he didn't.'

Interviewer: 'And what did you guys think of him?'

Arabella: 'He was kind and likable with us. I would say he had a nice personality. Just by his personality, I liked him. But the thing that attracted my attention the most was his red eyes. He did not hesitate in looking into our eyes. And his eyes were penetrating. It was like we were seeing two flaming red weels looking at us.'

Kate: 'I bet he is handsome.'

The interviewer and everyone else laughed at that moment.

Interviewer: 'Did he ask anything weird to you guys?'

Arthur: 'No, he was only demanding in his view of what the music videos should be.'

Kanna: 'Yeah, he was also knowledgeable about the filming settings. So, we had an easier job in following his wishes for the music videos.'

The interview continued as the interviewer asked other questions wanted to know about Moonlight.

When this interview was uploaded, it also went viral. Especially because everyone wanted to get gossip about Moonlight. And Wonder Magazine was known for its gossip news.

And these two interviews only added more fuel to the Moonlight hype.

The mysteriousness of Moonlight only increased when the public got to know that even the production crew who produced his music videos did not manage to see his real face.

And it was then that the Nancy Nicholson Show released the news that they would have Moonlight performing live that Monday night.

Everyone was counting the minutes to see Moonlight!

Would he appear wearing his mask again?
