Dear Prophecy bands,

In order to get the best out of your record sales, please follow the instructions below:

1. Play at least one of the songs on a single for 30000-50000 people before sales day. Not more, not less.

2.Submit your records in time. I can order about 200k supply a day, with2 days of shipping. So if you submit the record 3 days before salesday, I can order 200k copies, 4 days = 400k, 7 days = 1M, 14 days =2.4M etc... Remember that sales day is not the release day (see 7)!

3.For Christmas sales, see the Popomundo calender. The sales day is onthe wednesday before Christmas (in the same week), so make sure to gofor a release before that particular wednesday.

4. If you have asingle and an album to submit, always submit the single first. Singlesneed more supply, just don't forget to submit the album as soon aspossible after the single has been released.

5. Rehearsingvideos will only make your songs peak faster and burn out like crazy.So at this moment, I'd advise against it, but keep an eye on thecommunity news. Videos are always released on tuesday.

6. Pleasesubmit your videos at last on the monday before sales day. Tuesdaymight be tricky, in case I can't come online for whatever reason.

7. Sales day always starts at 8:00 A.M. CET on the first wednesday after the release of your record.

8.Records released in the Christmas week, just missing out on Christmassales, sell poorly. So it's better to wait an extra week then.

9.If you submit something too late to order enough copies and you stillwant it released (obviously with lesser supply), send me a message. Thesame thing applies for releasing records before the fans are awaitingthem or post-Christmas releases.

10. Any questions? Just ask! :)

为了达到最好的销量，请参考下列指导:

1. 在30000-50000观众面前演出至少单曲中的一首，不要多，不要少。
2. 按时提交你的唱片。 我能每天订200k张，另外需要2天运送。所以如果你在销售日3天前提交唱片，我可以提供200k张，4天400k张，7天1m张，14天2.4m张。。。 注意销售日不是发行日。（参见第7条）
3. 关于圣诞节大卖，参见游戏的日历。 销售日是圣诞前的那个周三(同一周内)，所以确保在那个特别的星期三前发行。
4. 如果你想同时提交单曲和专辑，记得总是先提交单曲。 单曲需要更多的货源，不过记得在单曲发行后尽快提交专辑。
5. MTV只会让你的歌更快的攀至顶点然后下跌。 所以在此我反对MTV，不过请留心社区新闻的更新。 MTV总是在周二发行。
6. 请最迟在周一前提交你的MTV，周二的话会太仓促，以防万一我会有一些事情不能上线。
7. 每个销售日是在你发行唱片后的第一个周三的上午8点(CET时间)。
8. 如果错过了圣诞大卖，而接着发行一张唱片，会卖的很烂。 所以最好再多等一周。
9.如果你提交太迟以至于无法订购足够的CD，而你仍然希望发行（显然无法提供足够的货源），那么给我发一个消息。同样也记得发给我消息，如果你唱片中显示“你的歌迷在等候你的唱片”(光头:我用英文版的，所以这句话不知道中文版里具体怎么描述)， 或者错过了圣诞大卖的的发行。
(光头: 这几种情况会影响唱片的销售量)
10. 有任何问题，就问吧。
