Theo's Bedroom, Pedrarruna Manor, Elffire City.
"Sylph, show me today's news related to Moonlight." Theo asked as he lay down on his bed and relaxed his body.
"Yes, master!" Sylph replied as she commanded the TV to show the news.
"Oh, I maintained the top 3?" Theo mumbled as he read the first piece of news.
He looked at the video of a girl speaking about the last news in the music industry, "Hey, guys! I'm Kahona and you're watching the Daily Music News." She smiled at the camera as she said that.
"Today is December 31st, and since this program was created, the news we showed on this date was extremely similar. With traditional New Year songs dominating the charts. But not this year!" She exclaimed enthusiastically.
"Finally, someone appeared to dethrone them! And this someone is named Moonlight! A rookie artist that was unknown to the public until last week. We've been reporting news on Moonlight since he became a hit last Saturday when he appeared on the AVA Top Hits TV show."
"If you guys remember well, Moonlight dominated the Top 10 on the Sakura Abode Country on Sunday, and on the next day, Monday, he dominated the Worldwide Top 10 on the Track Charts. He still dominated the charts until yesterday, when he occupied all 10 positions of the Top 10. But what everyone was questioning was if he would be able to hold off the sharp increase of streams that all the traditional new songs receive next to the New Year Celebrations."
"We all know that the New Year is the biggest holiday on the planet, so would Moonlight be able to dethrone them on this date?"
"It's December 31st, and I can say that although Moonlight is not dominating the Worldwide Top 10 Charts, he still dominates the Top 3! The Top 3 is composed of three of his songs!" She smiled excitedly.
The screen showed the charts, and Theo was able to see today's charts.
Perfect [Moonlight] = 55.5 million streams;
bad guy [Moonlight] = 52.7 million streams;
Save Your Tears [Moonlight (feat. Tsukuyomi)] = 51.1 million streams;
Sea's Lullaby [Sakura Orchestra] = 48.1 million streams.
Sea's Lullaby managed to squeeze into the Top 10, but it was the only song that managed to do it. Even the lowest-streamed song from Moonlight still managed to receive more than 44 million streams.
Sea's Lullaby was the most famous song that was played in the New Year. It was no surprise that she was able to receive so many streams. But Theo was genuinely surprised that only one song managed to squeeze into the Top 10.
"The famous Sea's Lullaby managed to get fourth place in the charts. But even then, the song did not manage to surpass Moonlight's Top 3 songs. As these songs managed to break the record once more this morning."
"Perfect managed to surpass yesterday's record of the most streamed song in 24 hours with an increase of four hundred thousand streams when compared with yesterday."
"Moonlight broke several records today. The first one was the record of the most streamed album in 24 hours. The record belonged to Moonlight himself when yesterday his album 'Earth to Azure' manage to receive 485 million streams. Today Moonlight broke his own record, his album managed to receive 498.6 million streams in the last 24 hours!" The woman spoke with an excited voice.
Theo sighed when he heard the number, even though he made peace with the money and fame he was receiving, he still thought that the whole situation was crazy.
Just imagining his 10 songs being played over 486 million times all over the world was a crazy thought!
Millions of people were consuming his songs!
"Another record broken by Moonlight was the most streamed album in its debut week. In the last 7 days, the 'Earth to Azure' Album was streamed over 1.6 billion times! Shattering the last record that was held by Yanosuba with her album 'Kumo' with 926 million streams in its debut week."
"The specialists predict that Moonlight will debut on the top of the Pyramids Hot Charts next Saturday."
"Moonlight came to shatter all of our knowledge about rookie artists as no other rookie managed to get even close to the numbers that Moonlight is receiving. He shattered all the old records held by acclaimed and famous artists."
"And the crazy amount of streams isn't exclusive to the Track Streaming Service. Moonlight's four music videos posted on the Ruby are breaking records left and right. In the last 24 hours, the four music videos showed an increase in the number of views they received. The four of them already surpassed the amount of 400 million views since they were posted. If they keep these numbers, they will be able to break the record for the fastest music video to reach 1 billion views."
"With all these numbers, we can say for sure that the whole world is infected with the Moonlight Fever! But the most amazing thing is that until now we don't know anything about Moonlight! Who could..." The woman continued with the program as Theo smiled as he heard the news.
He was happy that the amazing songs from his past life were making so much success here. Even though he expected that they would like them, he had no idea that they would become so crazy about it.
This amount of success far surpassed what these songs achieved on Earth. But that was because Track had a much wider reach when compared with Spotify and other streaming services from Earth. Plus, the population on Azure Star was more than double Earth's.
Nevertheless, that did not erase the amount of success they received was staggering.
Theo was happy that he already had clear plans on what to do with the money he would receive from Moonlight's earnings. He couldn't wait to start his gaming company. It was the perfect addition to his Anime Studio and Publishing House.
Theo picked up his phone and started browsing other news as he waited for the party to start.
He was relaxing his body before he had to get up and host the party.
The New Year Celebration was happening at his house and he wanted to be a good host to his guests.
He wanted to throw the best New Year's party of their lives tonight!
'Hmm, I haven't started packing my luggage for tomorrow's trip... I guess I'll have to do that before sleeping later.' Theo said to himself.
Differently from the others, he had a busy day since he woke up, so he did not have any time to pack his bags.
Theo continued relaxing until he saw that there were only 5 minutes before the clock hit 10 PM.
"I guess I should start the preparations." He smiled as he stood up from his bed.
It was time for the party to start!
