Two and Half Men - Reborn as Jake Harper

Chapter 112

It had been two days since Marshmello's album dropped. The morning sun was coming in through the windows, casting a soft light over everything.

That morning, I was at Carly's house. The four of us—me, Laura, Carly, and Sam—were sprawled out in the living room watching TV. Bella, Carly's dog, was resting her head in my lap.

On the TV, a street reporter was speaking with a bright smile: "Marshmello's album, Joytime, has already sold over 2.5 million copies, breaking several records and turning into a Multi-Platinum album in just two days"

The shot switched to a reporter standing next to a long line of buyers outside a music store.

"As you can see," she said, holding her mic and gesturing behind her, "even after two days, there are still lines forming to buy his album."

The camera then cut back to the studio, where the anchor turned to a seated commentator.

"It's clearly an immense phenomenon," the anchor said. "Tell us a bit more about the album, would you?"

The commentator nodded. "The Joytime album has 18 tracks, more than usual, including Friendzone and Titanium featuring Sia, I Need Your Love, Burn and Outside featuring Ellie Goulding, and On the Floor featuring J.Lo."

And he finished, "Happier, Alone, Faded, Hear Me Now, Waiting for Love, Summer, Blame, Wake me Up, The Nights, My Way, Fast Cars, and Are You with Me."

I thought to myself, The Nights (Avicii), My Way (Calvin Harris), Fast Car (Jonas Blue), and Are You with Me (Lost Frequencies)—those last four were used to promote the album.

The anchor then asked, "And are we still no closer to knowing who Marshmello really is?"
