72_72291 first-day sales - and even the first-week sales competition is the topic heat, popularity, fan support, and sales explosion, this fact is known to everyone. Because professional music critics and fan feedback need a period of precipitation and fermentation before they can gradually play a role, these comments determine the durability of sales; And the sales of the first day and the first week need to be explosive.

This is also the reason why Maria and the Oasis band have a very grand promotion on the first day, Sony Columbia Records and Creative Records are well aware that the first week of sales is a momentum, and they may not be able to compete with the talented glory to death in absolute strength, but relying on the support of Maria and Oasis Band, they can still seize the commanding heights.

The reason why the Battle of the Century has become the "Battle of the Century", the biggest showdown before entering the 21st century, is because Maria, the Oasis Band, and the current careers of Glory to Death are all in full swing, and the fan support is comparable, and the popularity and discussion are on par. Therefore, in the sales showdown between the first day and the first week, anyone in the troika has the qualifications and ability to win, and no one is weak.

This is also evidenced by the sales figures on the morning of the 28th, with Maria taking the first place, and Glory to Death getting into a bitter battle with the Oasis.

The first batch of music reviews from the professional media praised the "storm" of glory to death, but even the "first batch of music reviews" really affects the market trend and the choice of music fans, and it still takes time to precipitate. Therefore, the sales battle on the afternoon of the 28th is still full of countless suspense.

However, it is worth mentioning that the noon sun on the 28th has not yet had time to rise overhead, and the secrets of the "Stormy" album have been spread among the surging fans, one is that the "B-side" of the album is full of surprises, although only a small number of people have received the exact news, but the news that B-side chose to record in an outdoor recording studio has spread among reporters, causing an uproar; The second is that there was a special surprise at the end of the album, but unfortunately the news about the "hidden tracks" is still tight, and no news has been leaked, but it has stimulated more curiosity.

EMI Records' press conference for the launch of the new album was actually a last resort, on the one hand, they did intend to replace the promotional itinerary with a concert tour, because they believed in the ability of the concert scene to be glorious to death; On the one hand, it is because of the hot reaction of the concert market, which makes them slightly unprepared. As a result, before the press conference of Glory to Death in San Francisco was held, the news about the "Storm" had already exploded.

The mysterious atmosphere surrounding the album "Storm" not only did not disappear with the album's release, on the contrary, it became more and more intense, this "three albums" that condensed countless focuses were originally highly anticipated, and now the secrets are revealed little by little, which makes fans itch and can't wait to buy the album as soon as possible, to be able to open this Pandora's box as soon as possible, and see for yourself what kind of work will be dedicated after two years of glory to death.

The San Francisco Chronicle's comment on the morning of the 28th was correct: the album of "Tempest" can be purchased at any time, but the tickets for the "Tempest" world tour, if you miss it, you will no longer have them.

Although on the 28th, only San Francisco, Portland and Seattle sold concert tickets; But enthusiastic fans have appeared in major cities, asking EMI Records and Live Republic to sell concert tickets in advance. There was a lot of unstoppable stance - and in fact they did, and in the end, the live-state quickly agreed to the fans' request, and the tickets were sold out in just a few hours.

Therefore, the young volcanoes who regathered at the gates of the major record stores after snapping up tickets quickly added another fire to the lively scene of the city. This also caused an unparalleled heat wave in the afternoon sales frenzy, even far exceeding the morning madness, making this Monday at work lively, and even the white-collar workers sitting in the office have no way to rest easy.

Even the major financial and securities elites on Wall Street couldn't help but open their mouths when they saw the exaggerated queue on the street outside the window, and they couldn't believe that a small "album" could cause such a scene -- the so-called "ultimate showdown" could not be compared with a transaction of tens of millions of dollars a second for them, and could only be regarded as a child's play -- but now it seems that the commercial value and economic benefits contained in the entertainment industry are far beyond imagination, and they are also a little shocked. When they met in the pantry, they also had a rare gossip and discussion.

After 12 o'clock in the afternoon, this craze lasted until 9 o'clock in the evening, and the major record stores closed one after another, and the sales were crazy for nine hours, but the surging queue at the door still did not get any relief, and many people still did not be able to buy their favorite albums in the first place.

According to incomplete statistics, more than 1.23 million people lined up at the door of the record store within three hours in the morning; In the afternoon, more than 1.8 million people in the top 10 cities in the United States joined the queues.

Once again, Fox TV produced a round-the-clock news program, and they conducted a sample survey on the spot, interviewing more than 300 fans in all major cities, and the results showed that the proportion of young volcanoes in major cities such as New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Houston exceeded 40 percent, while Maria and Oasis had the same fans, with some cities having more Maria and some more urban Oasis bands.

Clearly, as the San Francisco Chronicle predicted, young volcanoes are catching up. However, the question is: will they be able to buy the albums they support on the record store today?

Looking at the winding waiting line outside the door, some record store owners even wondered if they should simply open all night, but in the end, because the plan was too hasty, worried that there would be problems in the middle of the night, or it could not be implemented, the record stores still closed their doors one after another. As a result, many latecomers stayed at the door of the record store, ready to stay here all night, and when the door opened the next day, they entered the store as soon as they snapped up.

This is the real ultimate showdown, even the first battle of the battle of the century is far from the momentum, the weight and weight of the album have been vividly displayed, and the fierce competition between the iron triangle has reached unprecedented heights. Such a grand occasion is not only unique in the history of music, but it is foreseeable that it may not be seen in the music market in the future.

The Recording Industry Association of America (RTA) rushed to work overnight that night to start counting the numbers of the major record stores, and the "morning sales record" announced at noon actually triggered such a shocking effect, and now that the all-day sales on October 28 are about to be announced, that is, the victory or defeat of the first stage of the final showdown, the staff of the Recording Industry Association of America are beginning to get excited.

Ed Simpson (ed.) Simpson was a little nervous at this time, the envelope he was holding in his hand was actually trembling slightly, revealing the excitement and excitement in his heart, he was the media spokesman of the Recording Industry Association of America, and facing the media could be said to be his daily life, there was no need to be nervous at all, but at this moment, he was actually nervous.

Because Ed knew exactly the weight of the envelope in his hand, this was the moment that changed history, and he and all the people around the world were witnessing this miraculous moment, witnessing the creation of music history. Now, Ed finally understands the nervousness of the Oscar presenters, not because they are inexperienced, but because they know what the envelope in their hands means.

"Let's have please, Ed Simpson!" Moderator: Mike Wallace Wallace's voice came, followed by a not-loud but neat applause, and Ed instantly felt all eyes focused on him, which not only did not make him relax, but his muscles tightened more and more.

Here is "sixty minutes (60. minutes)". It is not only the longest-running program in the history of American television in prime time, but also ranked in the top 10 in terms of ratings for 22 consecutive years, and has even become the most-watched TV program in the United States five times, and has always been the most broadcast-time program in the United States, and is also one of the most Emmy-winning programs.

As a news program, the height reached by "Sixty Minutes" can definitely be said to be unprecedented and unprecedented.

In fact, "60 Minutes" is a program starring a group of elderly people, and the average age of the group is generally between 35 and 45 years old, so they all have a lot of experience in journalism before entering the column, and they are all very good news reporters, otherwise they would not be qualified for the work of this column, which is already a tradition of "60 minutes".

So, there's no doubt that the news events that can be covered in "60 minutes" are no small feat -- and they are topics that have attracted the attention of the American middle class and young adults.

The "60 Minutes" program is divided into three parts, each of which is a story, which is interviewed by a reporter and told in series. Occasionally, "60 Minutes" will also cover major entertainment events, such as the Grammys, Oscars and other events, but not any entertainment turmoil can enter the "60 Minutes" method - this is prime time, not morning news.

The Battle of the Century had not been taken seriously by the "Sixty Minutes" before, but this time it was different, and the sensation of the final showdown was far beyond imagination, and the fact that more than two million people were mobilized across the United States on the 28th alone was enough to shock the "Sixty Minutes".

So, they invited Ed to be a special guest on the second story of tonight's show
