Chapter 1696: Global Pomp

Similar to the U.S. market, the U.K. market is thrilling every day, tugging at the hearts of countless people, and the ups and downs of the battle are almost suffocating. But the final result was not too unexpected, the glory continued to be strong until death, and Shun lì won the championship; The Oasis band is highly sought after in the local area, and the table is brilliant; Maria was a little weaker and followed.

For the first time ever, the troika combined to sell 3.99 million albums – in fact, if you count the fractions, it was just over four million albums, making it the brightest week in British music history, with sales exceeding two million in a single week – for the first time ever, and reaching an incredible 4 million in one fell swoop, writing a glorious record that future generations must look up to. That's the most amazing part of all the British media.

1.66 million for "Storm", 1.31 million for "Stay at the moment", and 1.02 million for "Butterfly". Behind this seemingly simple set of numbers, hidden is the frenzy of the entire British market, in this land of madness for rock 'n' roll, the seeds of rock 'n' roll faith have not only taken root, but also germinated, and the table has produced energy comparable to that of the American market, becoming an indispensable piece of the puzzle for the global market.

From the United States to the United Kingdom, these two lands across the Atlantic Ocean are connected by a battle of the century, an ultimate showdown, and at the same time crazy for music, contributing to its life and death. The flames of this ultimate showdown are centered on these two lands and spread to all corners of the world.

Thanks to Maria's popularity, Butterfly still won the championship in 11 countries and regions, including Australia, New Zealand and Japan. The "Storm" benefited from Hugo's current strong appeal, riding the wind and waves to bring Germany, France, Italy, Argentina, Brazil, Singapore, China. Country. Fragrant. Hong Kong and other 34 countries and regions won the championship; "Stay Here" continued the popularity of Oasis Band, but it was hampered by the glory of its direct rivals at every turn, and in the end, it only won the championship in three remote music market regions of Poland, Turkey and Lithuania.

Regardless of the number, all three albums won the title and undoubtedly dominated the top three spots in 48 countries around the world this week - the rest of which have not yet been released.

The flames of the ultimate showdown are blooming in all corners of the globe, burning this fire in every inch of the land.

The three largest music markets in the world are the United States, the United Kingdom and Japan, of which the Japanese market is relatively special, their support for foreign singers is not even one-tenth of that of local singers, often local singers' weekly sales can explode two million, but foreign singers can have 200,000 sales in a single week is a huge victory. This time, thanks to the grand occasion of the final showdown, the Japanese market has exploded sales of 1.53 million for the troika, which can be called the largest in history.

It is precisely because of this that although Maria has won the Japanese market, the advantage on a global scale is very weak; On the contrary, it has stolen the glory of the American and British markets with absolute strength to the death, and has continued to expand its advantage. In the end, this week's sales battle in the global music market completely lost its suspense.

"Swift Rain" has achieved a total of 7.3 million sales in 48 countries and regions around the world, and has become the biggest winner in this ultimate showdown with the momentum of setting the highest weekly sales record in the world.

After the release of the album "Almost Famous" in 1993, the sales volume by the end of 1994 was only 6.55 million, and the sales of "Bathing in the Morning Light" after its release in 1994 were only 7.26 million by the end of the year. Not to mention, such an achievement is a height that many singers cannot reach in their lifetime.

In a music field where a gold record is celebrated, a platinum record is a success, and a platinum is a place in the music industry - or at least a masterpiece - the huge success of "near fame" and "morning light" has made Glory to Death an important part of American music history, and this time, "Storm" has achieved seven platinum sales worldwide in a single week.

In just seven days, in just one week, there are seven platinums!

Such a momentum can truly be said to have witnessed the moment of glory to the top.

Before the final showdown began, someone had been so bold to imagine that maybe there would be a group of singers who would achieve the greatest glory of their careers with such momentum, maybe this group of singers would be glorious to death, of course, just maybe. However, when the idea really became a reality, it set off a frenzy of ideas, making everyone dare not believe their eyes, not because of the glory to the top of the mountain, but because of the glory of "seven platinum a week", changing history!

Both Maria and Oasis had expected this outcome—their defeat would be the most powerful foil for the victors, and they would even sacrifice themselves to be the most gorgeous backdrop ever. But this is the reality, the greater the risk, the greater the disaster, and the greater the relative benefit.

It's just that Maria and the Oasis band tried their best to launch a propaganda war, running non-stop in North America, but in the end they still fell short, losing to the glory of "carefree and honest stay in San Francisco" to death, this tone is really aggrieved, as if when they were studying, after studying hard, they watched their competitors eat and sleep, easily won the first place, and they were unbeatable, and they couldn't fight at all. That kind of shame, that kind of depression, that kind of entanglement, gnaws at the heart.

Especially for the Oasis band, losing face, losing the inside, even the British Isles lost, there was no room for anything, they were completely forced into a corner, waiting only for glory to die before humiliation. But what's even more disgusting is that Glory to Death doesn't move at all, as if they had never taken the Oasis fight, and after they left San Francisco, they rushed to the next stop on the tour, not only did they not say anything about the Oasis band's downfall, but they didn't even say anything about the incredible first week of the final showdown, as if the qiē was taken for granted and not worth mentioning. Such a weighty gesture made the Oasis band feel an unprecedented sense of shame.

But what can they do? Fighting with the mouth will only make them look more wolf-like, and closing their mouths will only hurt them to death, this dilemma is truly unforgettable.

In the end, the "National Enquirer" broke the grapevine, the Oasis band fell apart, and the team simply divided into three groups and rushed to the next trip, the Gallagher brothers went separately, and the rest of the team set off separately, and the whole team was on the verge of collapse, but they could not choose to "collapse" at this time. Because the final showdown has only just begun its first week. It's ironic.

In fact, although Maria and Oasis suffered a crushing defeat to glory, they still made their own history this week, and this peak was also the peak of their respective careers, which has never been replicated, let alone surpassed, in their subsequent acting careers.

Maria's "Butterfly" has stolen 5.17 million sales worldwide, and although the 5 platinum results are far behind the glory of "Storm", it is still the runner-up in the current weekly sales in global music history. With the strength of the pop genre, Maria has been clutching glory to death in many parts of the world, and has also written a thrilling history, which has also made the excitement of the ultimate showdown skyrocket, creating the Beatles, Michael Jackson, the Rolling Stones, and many others have not been able to reach the heights.

There is no doubt that with the 5.17 million sales of "Butterfly", Maria truly surpassed Whitney, which also became a watershed moment in the North American music market: Whitney gradually began to decline, and by the end of the nineties it had almost disappeared, and finally her career plummeted; Maria, on the other hand, maintained her steady momentum, starting her own diva era in the second half of the nineties and continuing her career into the first decade of the twenty-first century.

The Oasis Band's "Stay Now" is also not weak, with global sales of 4.96 million copies, and a closer look shows that their results are not much behind Maria, especially in terms of global scope and total sales, which is almost within reach. This is not only due to the explosion in the UK, but also due to the huge popularity of Oasis in Europe and Asia, which has led to the resurgence of LinkedIn Lun'n' roll and bites its opponents.

Twenty years later, it will be discovered that the Oasis marked a complete revival of British rock, they inherited the mantle of the Beatles, drew the world's attention to the British Isles again, and "Stay Here" was the true pinnacle of Oasis in the throes of their careers - in terms of sales, compared to the album "(What is the story) Morning Glory", which received numerous acclaims. The Oasis band has caused a strong response almost worldwide, and it has truly opened the curtain on the return of British rock to the public eye.

But behind such a strong position, it is also a portrayal of the decline of British rock, because the Oasis band has rough technology, self-repetition, weak creative ability, and even fell into the shortcomings of plagiarism, which can be seen at a glance after historical precipitation. Such an Oasis band, but shouldering the heavy responsibility of the revival of British rock, has to be said to be a sad status quo.

After Oasis, Goatskin, Taint, Radiohead, and Shen Yun supported British rock, followed by Muse, Coldplay, and Starsailor. This qiē all happened after the album "Stay in the Moment".

It can be said that whether it is the glory of the victorious, absolutely strong, and sweeping thousands of armies to death, or the regrettable defeat and helplessness, Maria and the Oasis Band are the winners in this ultimate showdown, because they have written their own peaks, compiled their own history, and truly changed the course of music history.

This is living history.
