Although due to the involvement of Maria and Glory to Death, since the North American music market is inherently the center of the world, most of the eyes are focused on the North American continent; But as a global music powerhouse, the British Isles are self-evident, and this time, the storm of the final showdown is raging in the United Kingdom, and the miracle of creating a zào even exceeds that of North America, which is the most important country.

A month earlier, in the Battle of the Century, the three singles had far-outsold the United States in the UK and amazed the world. Therefore, this time the ultimate showdown landed in the UK, and naturally it also attracted the attention of all the media at home and from all over the world.

As it turned out, they were not disappointed. This land that was born because of rock, crazy because of rock, and died because of rock 'n' roll, completely unleashed the passion for music in the heart, completely detonated sales, and the Atlantic Ocean between the two continents seemed to be boiling because of this unparalleled frenzy.

"Sailing" became the first single in British history to sell more than 2 million in a single week, surpassing "Do They Know It's Christmas", and became the first work to create a zào with 2.11 million sales in a single week, which caused a sensation in almost every corner of the British Isles. Not only because the results are too shocking, but also because the record is actually a foreign band.

The British people have always been very proud of the fact that the British culture is much older and richer than the United States. Taking rock as an example, the British people have always had supreme expectations and confidence in British rock, even in the darkest times, they have not given up their insistence on rock and roll, and they dream that one day, British rock can regain the glory of the seventies and shake the spiritual field of the world again. This is also a big reason why the British have always been so tolerant and revered by the Oasis - they saw in the Oasis the possibility of recreating the Beatles.

But now, Glory to Death has been born, not only in the United States, but also in the United Kingdom, the home of the British Isles, setting zào record after record, and stepping on the shoulders of the local darling, the local Oasis of Hope. The words of the Times once again made the front page headlines of major newspapers and magazines, "Hugo Lancaster invades Britain!" ”

Under the leadership of Hugo, the glory conquered the arrogant and black-bellied Britons to death, and the weekly sales of 2.11 million won an irreplaceable place in the long river of history.

Although the sales volume of 1.86 million in a single week, "Walk with Me" surpassed the record set by "Young Volcano" not long ago, and it is keeping up with the pace of "sailing" and striding to catch up with history. But in the end, he was still constrained by his own quality, and he was not able to take a step closer, not only failed to bite the glory to death, but also failed to break the shackles of two million, making "Sailing" the only song in the 100-year history of British music to sell more than two million in a single week.

Ironic, but funny.

There are many reasons why "Butterfly" sold 1.55 million singles at its peak, far more than its rivals in the United States, but it comes down to the British mania for rock and roll – which is very different from the United States. No wonder "Q Magazine" shouted, "The seeds of rock 'n' roll faith have sprouted and grown in the British Isles!" ”

Despite this, the weekly sales of "Butterfly" still squeezed into the top 10 of British music history, and the table Xiàn is still excellent, not only ranking third on the British pop charts this week, but also setting Maria's own best result, which is also on the road of history.

In the end, although the UK pop charts are slightly different from the US Billboard, the general direction shows a similar trajectory. The hurricane of the ultimate showdown swept through every corner of the world indiscriminately, setting off the most brilliant, sensational and grand carnival since the 70s, allowing the influence of music to penetrate into the corners of people's lives.

Also similar to the album charts, the single "Sailing" won the title in 27 countries and regions around the world, "Butterfly" dominated in 15 countries and regions, and "Walk with Me" won the title in 6 countries and regions. After all, the competitive landscape of singles is still different from albums.

In the end, "Voyage" achieved 6.19 million sales worldwide, reaching six platinums in just one week, which undoubtedly became the best number in history, carrying the supreme glory of the first single in history to sell more than 6 million in a single week, and crowning the champion of the global singles sales chart this week. Following major markets such as the United States and the United Kingdom, Glory to Death has also completed the feat of topping the album and singles charts around the world, taking advantage of the east wind of the ultimate showdown to bring its strength to the extreme.

With 4.77 million sales, Butterfly was the runner-up on the global charts in the fifth week of October, further propelling Maria to solidify her strong influence as a global diva and lay the foundation for future success. "Walk With Me" achieved 4.6 million copies worldwide, narrowly reaching No. 3 on the global singles chart this week, but unlike Maria, this single became the last glimpse of Oasis' success.

The ultimate duel is a double-edged sword, magnifying the advantages tenfold or hundredfold, and magnifying the weaknesses tenfold or hundredfold. Behind the incomparably brilliant achievements of the album "Stay Now" and the countless histories of Zào, the criticism and accusations of music critics on this album have also expanded to a wider scope, and the shortcomings of the single "Walk with Me" have also been magnified several times, and with the precipitation of time, the negative impact has exploded strongly, becoming the last peak of the Oasis band's decline.

From albums to singles, glory to death is not just as simple as landing on the throne of the champion, "Stormy" North America 2.91 million, global sales of 7.3 million, "sailing" North America 1.93 million, global sales of 6.19 million, dominating the album and singles double chart champion is not a suspenseful thing, more importantly, this achievement of glory to death has created a number that future generations will never be able to surpass, and even became the final peak of the United States, the United Kingdom, and the global music market- It is also an insurmountable peak.

Needless to say, the final showdown is in full swing, and even the remote Indian Ocean seems to be boiling because of this duel, and the momentum created by the troika of Glory to Death, Maria and the Oasis Band is not only the focus of attention for this new album and new single, but more importantly, their careers have been greatly improved, among which Glory to Death is the most.

Under the absolute strength of "Storm", Glory to Death has completely replaced Nirvana Band and become the pillar of today's American rock, and it has led the new metal rock to create a new world. Under such influence, the recognition of glory to death has skyrocketed, and the sales of "almost famous" and "bathed in the morning light" have also ushered in a recovery again, only in North America, the two albums not only returned to the Billboard album chart, but also ranked in the top 50, creating a small miracle.

"Bathing in the Morning Light" has already crossed the 10 million mark in album sales last year, and it has been widely sought after on the wave of music market innovation - you must know that this album is also regarded as one of the 20 best albums so far in the 90s. At the end of 1996, the album sales of "Bathing in the Morning Light" reached more than 17.2 million copies, and in the blink of an eye, the 20 million moat seemed not so far away.

What's even more commendable is "almost famous", this glorious to death debut, although the overall quality is not as good as the band's second and third albums, but at that time, glory to death still relied on this album to come out, and the quality of the album is definitely not to be underestimated. This time, many people knew Glory to Death through "Stormy Rain", so they were also interested in "almost famous", and the sales of this album increased even more than "Bathing in the Morning Light".

Before the end of 1996, the sales of "almost famous" also crossed the 10 million threshold, and finally settled around 11.6 million, becoming the second 10 million album to be glorious to death.

This is a huge achievement for Glory to Death - because almost everyone can be sure that the final sales of "Storm" will inevitably cross the 10 million threshold, so the sales of "Near Fame" will increase significantly, which means that Glory to Death will become the owner of three 10 million selling albums.

The focus is not just on the three albums that sold 10 million, but also on all the albums that have been released to the present day: starting with their debut film, each album has reached 10 million sales, which is the first time in the entire history of music. No musician has ever reached such heights, no one! This is also another proof of the strong influence of Glory to Death today, and it also proves the influence of the music genre represented by Glory to Death on the future.

This is already the case even in North America, not to mention the global market where there is still a lot of room for growth, and it is conceivable that the two albums "Almost Famous" and "Bathing in the Morning Light" will also receive more and more attention around the world.

The success of a "stormy storm" has set off turbulent waves behind it, and the extensive and far-reaching influence is simply impossible to estimate. After winning the first week of the Ultimate Showdown, Honor to Death represents the new metal rock that has finally truly proven its market position - music that combines the technical thickness of traditional rock with the emotional innovation of new metal rock is quietly becoming the mainstream trend of the entire market.

The trajectory of music history, thanks to the strong expression of glory to death, is quietly changing. This time, no one could predict what the future would hold, including Hugo.
