Chapter 1285: The Momentum of Four Orders

While Hugo is a well-deserved leader in the day's additional influence, in April of this year, Michael Jackson became the center of the spotlight like no other, and the Chandlers' confession cleared Michael, putting an end to the farce of more than two decades ago.

Superstar Michael Jackson has released his new album "History" after successfully clearing his name, and the most expensive and largest campaign in history has run from May to September, announcing Michael's return with a bang.

In its first week of release, "History" broke the record for the album "Dangerous" with 600,000 sales, and easily landed on the Billboard top. But from this sales figure, we can still see the negative impact of the original incident, you know, the first week sales of "Bathing in the Morning Light" are impressively 700,000 level, and there is still a certain gap in the "history" of this achievement. Although everyone knows that Michael is innocent, and although people know that he wronged innocent people, the guilt, shame, regret, and persistence and hard-mouthedness of the reluctance to admit mistakes have all had an impact on album sales.

Fortunately, at least the grievances have been washed away, and that's a good thing. And that's been proven by the facts. The follow-up momentum of "History" is very courageous, which also cleverly coincides with the original "dangerous" sales curve.

"History" kicked off Michael's comeback journey with five consecutive titles on the US Billboard album charts, but the first single "Scream" failed to achieve a popular response, and the single still achieved brilliant sales, but the radio on-demand rate did not even squeeze into the top 10, so it missed the Billboard single title, and the best result was only the fourth place in the week.

The failure of "Scream" was taken seriously by Sony Records, and Tom Stryckler truly showed his outstanding abilities as an agent for the first time, and after negotiations, the second single "You're Not Alone" was officially released after just four weeks.

"You're Not Alone" quickly became popular with the masses due to its excellent quality, and its sales were gratifying, and the on-demand radio rate also soared, and it officially topped the Billboard singles chart five weeks after its release, and now the single has reached three consecutive titles. And this week, in the face of the menacing "apology", "You Are Not Alone" Although it is far behind in sales, it still relies on the strong on-demand rate of radio to complete the great cause of four consecutive championships!

At the same time, Michael's tour titled "History" is also in full swing.

The trajectory of history has been quietly changing, not only Michael has cleared his grievances, but also his health has not had major problems, which has made the "History" global tour unfold smoothly, and continue to make history; And the new album and single also achieved results that matched Michael's, and under Tom's pressure, Sony Records did not repeat the mistakes of the past.

So, the first week of September is really significant, not only with the participation of Michael and Glory to Death, but also the classic "Rose Kiss" and "Gangster Paradise", which also makes the Billboard competition more and more interesting.

In the following week, the radio on-demand with the "apology" began to gradually rise, and the glory to death competitiveness gradually began to gain momentum.

"Apology" won 190,000 sales this week, a drop from the first week's sales, but the decline was very gratifying, and more importantly, the radio on-demand rate exploded with huge energy, not only breaking directly into the top ten, but also reaching the third place in one fell swoop, which is really terrifying for a single that has only been released into its second week.

Whether it's a radio host, a young volcano, or other ordinary listeners, the wave of support for "apologies" is directly and vividly reflected in the number of on-demand radio views. Under this push, the competitiveness of "apologies" has also been further strengthened.

In the end, the top five in the second week of September were still familiar faces, the same five singles from last week, but with some changes.

"You're Not Alone" highlights Michael's imposing super popularity, which has completed five consecutive championships, while "Gangster Paradise" relied on its super popularity to resist the impact of competitors and continue to win the runner-up, which also achieved the first peak of Curio's singer's career; The sales of "Apology" fell slightly this week, but relying on the advantage of radio on-demand rate, it rose to the third place; "Rose Kiss" slipped to the palace army, but the gap with the former was not large, and the stamina was still strong; Waterfall held on to fifth place and nothing changed.

In the third week of September, the top five still did not change, the only difference was that "Gangster Paradise" ended the five consecutive championships of "You Are Not Alone", relying on the victory of radio on-demand ratings, and since then, "Gangster Paradise", "You Are Not Alone", "Apologies", "Rose Kiss", and "Waterfall" have ranked in the top five respectively.

But if professionals observe carefully, they will find that although "Gangster Paradise" and "You Are Not Alone" are exchanged, the gap is very small, and the "apology" that came later relies on the rise in radio on-demand rates to shorten the gap, infinitely close to the top two positions, and the gap between "King of Roses" and "Waterfall" is gradually widening.

Such a subtle change has one looking forward to next week's Billboard singles chart.

In fact, the billboard of the fourth week of September did not disappoint everyone! Because Mariah Carey's new studio album is about to be released, and the first wave of singles this week is officially here!

With the strong rise of Glory to Death, the matter between Glory to Death and Maria has long been no secret, although Henry Bloom is just an agent, but the dirty conspiracy hidden out of the spotlight has attracted the attention of many people, and so far the parties have not come forward to tell the story behind that paragraph, Henry is still low-key and abnormal, Maria is still dismissive, and Glory is still tight-lipped to death. However, this does not prevent people from putting Glory to Death and Maria in opposition.

While Glory to Death is the new hope for rock 'n' roll resurgence, and Maria is the new diva of rhythm and blues, there is no chance of a head-to-head confrontation between the two, but the media habitually places them together for comparison.

This time, Maria collided head-on with the glorious "apology", which was obviously Mars hitting the earth, which made countless people look forward to it.

Maria's new album debut single "Fantasy", which will be released in October, is an epoch-making song, this fast-paced pop song for the first time truly integrates rap into the pop genre, thus setting a new standard for rhythm and blues singers - songs need to be accompanied by rap parts, Beyonce, Rihanna (Rihanna) and other top superstars are represented in this, and a group of rap superstars have also been produced. For example, Pip Paul (Pitbull), Nicki Mina (Nicki). minaj) and so on.

It can be said that "fantasy" was one of the important weights in Maria's musical career to open up an era, and it is also a step that really put her on a par with Whitney Houston, this song not only made a huge breakthrough in musical style, but also played a pivotal role in the development of future rhythm and blues.

Similarly, "Apology" is a song that has had a profound impact on rock music arrangements, not to mention what it means to be the founder of New Metal Music. Therefore, the collision of "fantasy" and "apology" is undoubtedly expected, and the development and innovation of "fantasy" is not obvious in the face of "apology" - many music critics believe that Glory to Death integrates diverse elements such as rap, pop, and soul into rock and roll, which is the real pioneer, and "fantasy" can only be said to be an afterthought.

However, this still does not affect the super high evaluation of "Fantasy", and Mariah Kailin's super popularity at this time is also perfectly reflected, "Fantasy" grabbed 260,000 sales in one fell swoop in the first week, and when other singles have been exhausted, this sales obviously have the ability to sweep thousands of troops.

The previous "apology" won 250,000 sales in the first week and only ranked fourth, because the sales of the top three were still excellent, and the radio on-demand rate had the upper hand. But now it's different, the top five singles have been released for at least five weeks - "Apology" has also been released for three weeks, and the sales of these singles are not explosive, so naturally they can't win the 200,000 level again.

This is a matter of timing, and like the movie schedule, music albums and singles also have release schedules. Obviously, the "apology" schedule was not chosen, and there were wolves and tigers in front of them; And the schedule of "fantasy" is a perfect fit.

However, just when everyone thought that "Fantasy" would easily parachute the champion and become the first single of female singers to parachute to the championship, "Apology" suddenly rose up and made a strong effort, defeating "Fantasy" in one fell swoop and winning the championship in the fourth week of September! It was only then that people realized that the success of the first week of the "apology" was just the beginning.

Physical sales of "Apology" have been slowly declining over the past two weeks, but radio on-demand rates have soared, and last week it has become the radio on-demand rate champion, a sign that the market is preparing for a second wave of "apology".

Sure enough, in the fourth week of September, the sales of "Apology" broke through the 200,000 threshold again, and sold 220,000 sales in one fell swoop, and it was still able to deliver such an answer in the fourth week of release - and it was also the fourth single of "Bathing in the Morning Light", which is so incredible that many people can't believe it.

But the facts are already in front of us, "Apology" actually broke out with sales on a par with "Fantasy", and the on-demand rate of "Apology" is unbeatable, with an absolute advantage to complete the "Gangster Paradise", ranking first in the on-demand charts of major radio stations; As for "Fantasy", which was just released this week, it didn't even break into the top 50 on the on-demand chart. After the two numbers were superimposed, "Apology" won the top spot on the Billboard charts.

This not only achieved the fourth number one single of the album "Bathing in the Morning Light", but also won all four consecutive singles, which is once again admirable - this time even more impressive to the proud Maria.

Stepping on the shoulders of the "fantasy" of 260,000 brilliant sales records, forcing the uncrowned kings to hold their heads high, the "apology" pushed the chaos, ugliness, entanglements, and shame of the entire August to the peak!

This is indeed a moment worthy of going down in history.
