Topped the Billboard Album Chart for six consecutive weeks, Exceeded 200,000 sales for six consecutive weeks, Dominated the Hot Topic Chart for six consecutive weeks!

Even Kanye West, even Spitfire, even Taylor Swift, even Miss Gaga, even Rihanna, were not able to achieve such a feat in 2011, and even Bobby Dylan in the 90s was not able to achieve such market recognition.

In addition to Adele and Bruno Mars, Ranley Hall is the third on the hand.

However, "Don Quixote" is a folk album!

Such a contrast is enough to clearly feel the unparalleled and powerful influence of this album. On the Internet, in life, the bits and pieces about this album were passed on by word of mouth, and gradually began to spread:

Without George Slander's desperate gamble, the Don Quixote album would not have come out at all, because Lan Li believed that such an album would not be recognized in the contemporary music market, and in the process of making the album, George Strand and Herbert Jones were worried and debated about the album's tracks, and even abandoned two masterpieces.

Including a number of independent record companies, in the face of the "Don Quixote" album have retreated, and finally Studio Eleven took over, otherwise the album could not be released at all; after the official release, Studio Eleven's publicity budget was stretched, and it was completely impossible to carry out relevant publicity, so it is unbelievable that the album "Don Quixote" has not been officially sent to the station.

It is not a coincidence that the "Night of the Pioneer Village" was born on YouTube, but because the album "Don Quixote" was conceived and born there; more importantly, the pioneer village was the most important promoter of the whole album's production, production, and publicity, where a group of real Don Quixote people have always gathered, sticking to a piece of spiritual paradise.

……

With the advancement of time, March passed, April passed, spring went to summer.

The popularity of the album "Don Quixote" slowly precipitated, but did not disappear completely, little by little details added, slowly flowing in the long river of time, like a big wave sweeping sand, blindly following the trend of onlookers gradually left, while the loyal listeners who stuck to the spot found more and more details, the whole album became more and more complete, more and more vivid, more and more profound, so, more and more loved.

Gradually, people finally understood why this album was so special, why this album went from unknown to highly sought-after, seemingly without any context but so taken for granted, why the album was awarded by the Grammys, why the media considered the Grammys' choice to be an important reform of the industry, and why the audience who watched the "One Man Concert" became fans of the Blue Rites......

"Don Quixote" is never an instantly stunning album, it needs the precipitation of time and the polishing of the years, only by calming down and really listening attentively, can we peek into the soul and truth hidden behind the melody. The three gramophones of the Grammys only opened a door, and countless people poured in, but only a small number remained.

In just six weeks, "Don Quixote" has exploded with 1.53 million sales, and the cumulative sales since its release will cross the 2 million threshold.

Miracle, this is a real miracle, but on reflection, this is not a miracle, but a journey: in the increasingly fast-paced modern society, there are still so many Don Quixote, quietly, quietly waiting, waiting, persevering, until the appearance of "Don Quixote".

Even if I look back again after ten or twenty years, there is no station, no music video, no publicity, "Don Quixote" from conception to creation to distribution, to glory, and finally to the creation of classics, this journey, unhurried, not arrogant, not impatient, neither humble nor arrogant, in the washing and precipitation of time, opened up a path of its own.

Unique and irreplaceable.

In the fifth week of March, Bruce Springsteen's new solo album "Falling Hammer Crusher" landed at the top of the Billboard album chart, ending "Don Quixote's" six-game winning streak and breaking the "Don Quixote" and "21" blockade. However, the popularity of these two albums has not diminished, and they have only slipped to the second and third places accordingly.

After that, the competition on the Billboard album chart reopened, and the top of the chart changed almost every week, not because the competition was too fierce, but because the newly released albums were not competitive enough, and after a week, they began to weaken, which is the status quo of the entire market.

In the midst of this, the firmness of "21" and "Don Quixote" became more and more commendable.

After the fifth week of March, "21" stayed in the top three positions for thirteen weeks, and then unbelievably returned to the championship, only to stay for a week, and then fell back to the runner-up again, continuing to dominate the list, and there was no decline at all, and the follow-up explosiveness has completely made the language useless.

In comparison, the endurance of "Don Quixote" is still congenitally insufficient, after giving up the championship, staying in the runner-up position for a full eight weeks, and also suppressing the "21" again for eight weeks, all the potential and energy are finally exhausted, directly fell out of the top three, slipped to fifth place in one go, and then continued to decline, hovering in the top ten rankings, temporarily slowing down the downward momentum.

Although it cannot be compared with the "21" against the sky, at least, "Don Quixote" stayed in the top five for 14 weeks, and after 14 weeks, he still stayed in the top 10, and there was no sign of an avalanche at all.

Regardless of the momentum, "Don Quixote" has become the highest-selling folk album of the 21st century, and the most widely known folk album since Bob Dylan. Such an achievement is enough to go down in history, and after that, every step of "Don Quixote" is refreshing its own record and creating its own history!

The strong explosion of "Don Quixote" album sales naturally promoted the performance of the singles, especially the performance of selling more than 200,000 for six consecutive weeks, which can be called a great miracle after the beginning of 2012!

In the third week of February, a week after the end of the Grammys, on the newly released Billboard singles chart, the entire album of "Don Quixote" 18 singles entered the chart!

At the same time, it also created a new history on Billboard: the singer with the most tracks on the charts at one time! The singer with the most tracks on the chart at the same time! Also, the singer with the longest interval between the album's release time and the single entering the chart!

Of course, of the eighteen singles, fifteen of them were in the range of 50th to 100th on the charts, and as many as nine of them were densely subdivided behind 75th, and a week later, more than 11 were directly out of the charts, and the remaining four longest tracks only stayed for four weeks.

Overall, the single results are not so shining, and the highest ranking is "Time", which is 53rd.

In addition, "Ophelia" re-entered the chart, falling out of the chart after hovering for 68 weeks on the Billboard singles chart, and the record of consecutive weeks on the chart came to an abrupt end, temporarily ranking fourth all-time.

It is worth mentioning that Adele's "Falling into the Abyss" failed to surpass "Ophelia", and finally froze above 64 weeks in a row, but this single has won the championship for seven weeks, which is naturally not comparable to "Ophelia".

After a lapse of two months, Ophelia entered the list again, temporarily ranking 57th.

"Cleopatra", on the other hand, has been unbelievably staying on the list, having slipped to 94th place last week and is about to be released, and this week with the help of the Grammys, it has regained to 66th place.

At this point, the single's number of weeks on the chart has reached 90 weeks, far surpassing the 76 weeks achieved by the original holder of the historical record, "I Am Yours", and establishing a history that is almost unsurpassed.

After that, "Cleopatra" stayed on the list for another three weeks, and officially came out on the list, setting the historical record of weeks on the list to 93 weeks, drawing a successful end to this history-making journey.

Of the eighteen singles, only three made it to the top 50.

"Beast", "Convinced", "Your bones".

The first is "Your Bones", this single has always had the spread and popularity since the "Ellen Show", but it has not been able to officially ignite and detonate, with this Grammy ceremony, Ellen DeJanis once again took the initiative to mention it in the show, so the digital audio source download data jumped rocket.

Without any publicity, it not only made it to the Billboard singles chart for the first time, but also reached 41st place with remarkable results.

The second is "Firmly Believed", accompanied by the hit of "Love is Crazy", the highest ranking of this single once came to second place, which is also the highest ranking record for folk songs since the millennium. But the endurance of the single was mediocre, and after reaching the peak of second place, it only stayed for three weeks, and then slowly, slowly all the way down.

A week before the Grammys, "Convinced" was provisionally ranked 37th on the list. Compared with the incredible ability of "Cleopatra" and "Ophelia" to be on the list, "Convinced" is only on the list for 15 weeks, and the stamina is really not on the same level.

This week, however, Firmly Believe re-entered the top 20 and returned to 14th place, performing well.

Finally, "The Beast", a single that never made it to the charts, thanks to the classic moment of the annual album acceptance speech, became an overnight hit, dominating the top spot on the iTunes instant download chart for five consecutive days, and the number of listens on Spotify also skyrocketed, which also made the single score soar to the fourth place on the Billboard singles chart.

A year ago, the best result of the millennium was only No. 6, and a year later, both "Convinced" and "The Beast" broke that height.

Just the album "Don Quixote", the record created and the brilliance of writing, are enough to go down in history!
