72_72291 In the second week of October, the world witnessed the glorious death of the "young volcano" (young. voloes)" easily completed the triple crown!
The single, which marked the official on-stage of the young volcanoes, achieved a complete victory in both sales and radio on-demand ratings, and successfully continued the strong first week of the Battle of the Century for the third consecutive week.
Although the sales of Maria's "Sweetheart" have declined significantly this week, the decline has flattened out, and it still sticks to the runner-up position; The same is true of "Do you know what I mean", although the radio on-demand rate has never been able to rank among the top ten, and the mass base in North America still has a huge disadvantage, but relying on the strength of sales, it still stayed in the third place position for three consecutive weeks.
After the vigorous end of the battle of the century, people continued to feel the grandeur and power of this duel for two consecutive weeks, and it can be said that there is still no suspense in this week's billboard charts, but the sales of "Young Volcano" for three consecutive weeks still made many people stunned - after all, the overall quality of this song is still not as good as "Beautiful." day)", of course, the similarly inferior quality of "Wonderwall" has now become the most iconic track of Glory to Death, which also shows that the word of mouth of music critics and sales figures can be linked, but not necessarily linked.
However, the most eye-catching news in the second week of October is not the Billboard list, but the heavyweight news that came out this week.
EMI Records took the lead, and after Glory to Death easily completed a three-in-a-row title, they announced that Glory to Death's third full-length album "Storm" will be released on October 28th!
As soon as this news was announced, it set off an uproar in an instant. Because of the long-awaited glory to death, a brand new album is finally about to be released.
Since "bathing in the morning light", people have been looking forward to the follow-up action of Glory to Death, this band that has brought turbulence in the history of North American music seems to be the most topical existence in the current market, and the threshold of three albums that any rock band must face is about to fall on Glory to Death, whether they will break the spell and continue the power of new metal rock; Or is it trapped by his own ability limitations, Jiang Lang is exhausted, and the previous upward momentum comes to an abrupt end? This has become a question that everyone is curious about.
Since the Battle of the Century, "Young Volcano" has achieved incredible success, but this single was announced two years ago, not a new track, and there is still no news about the third album of Glory to Death, which undoubtedly makes people full of countless speculations about this album, until today, the album is finally gently unveiled.
Two details were immediately noticed, the name "Tempest" is the same name as the world tour that is about to kick off with Glory to Death; Moreover, the tour will kick off on the 25th of this month, and the album will be officially released on the 28th three days later, so it is clear that there is an inseparable bond between this tour and the album.
Many people are reminded of the information revealed by the live country at the press conference, and the title and subtitle of the tour are not arbitrary, which obviously has a special meaning for glory to death, and it is also related to the content of the concert.
The names of the previous two albums of Glory to Death are not taken randomly, "almost famous" represents the vague state of cheering after the band has just started, before touching the spotlight, one step forward is glory, one step back is latent, this kind of middle ground haze and confusion, hidden in the depths of the excitement and hesitation, vividly showed.
"Bathing in the morning light" vividly shows the band taking a big step and standing in the early morning sun, the kind of excitement, excitement, happiness mixed with some apprehension, people can't help but reach out to embrace the warmth of the sun.
In fact, these two albums show the process of a band from unknown to under the spotlight, if you look at it according to the original itinerary, the current third album should be "Climbing to the Peak" or "Under the Spotlight" or "In the Sky", but no one expected that after the second album, the glory to death has soared to the sky, directly reaching an unimaginable new height, which makes the band members a little overwhelmed.
Right now...... The third album is coming, "Stormy".
One immediately understood why Glory to Death insisted on using the name, not only for the name of the band's third album, but also as the name of the band's world tour, because "Tempest" is about the situation that Glory to Death has faced in the past two years, and it is a real and direct representation of that qiē.
Everyone knows that the three albums are crucial for the rock band, for glory to death, and this album will be very important to maintain the heights that the band can achieve in the future. And Glory to Death did not shy away from this, truly showing their internal chaos, worries, fears, hesitations, confusion, and intricacies, which was like a storm, leaving the band disoriented and overwhelmed.
Such a calm attitude, such an honest attitude, such a ridiculous attitude, and not shy away from facing the topics that people focus on, Glory to Death once again brought surprises to everyone, obviously, for the three series, Glory to Death himself also mixed many ideas.
It's just that what people are curious about is what happened after "Storm", and what happened to the third album born under the "Storm"? It's a mess, a disaster, a blank, and completely reduced to cannon fodder; Or brave the obstacles, break through the storm, and embrace the new world in front of us - and whether this new world is gradually reduced to mediocrity, or is it a new world that continues to innovate......
People have no answers, so they can only look for it in the album "Stormy Rain", and they can only look for it in the tour of "Stormy Rain". At present, there is only one song "Young Volcano", which makes it impossible for people to make any judgment at all, and it is obvious that EMI Records has premeditated this, and the choice of "Young Volcano" as the title song of the first wave is meaningful.
At this moment, people really understood what the words of the live country at the press conference meant, just like the subtitles of this world tour: "Sunshine", "Thunder and Lightning", "D". o。 g", obviously, "sunshine" is the glory of the past three years; "Thunder and lightning" is the difficulty we are facing now; And "d. o。 g" is for the future.
As we all know, "d. o。 "G" is an abbreviation for Glory to Death, but as the name of the band suggests, "Glory or Death", this is a multiple-choice question and a question sentence, and no one can judge the outcome. can only wait for Glory to die to give an answer in person.
This is the real glory to death, not according to common sense, according to their own pace and rhythm, out of a road that no one else can predict, from "almost famous" to "bathing in the morning light", and then to "stormy", what kind of answer will this glory to death bring?
Just the name of the album is already making people excited.
What's even more exciting is that less than 24 hours after EMI Records announced the news, Sony Columbia Records announced that Mariah Carey's sixth studio album "Butterfly" will be officially released on October 28.
The twenty-eighth day of the tenth month is the same day as the glorious unto death.
In fact, Maria's new album was originally released in mid-November, and many people in the circle have confirmed the news, but now it has been released three weeks in advance, and the purpose is really obvious - obviously Maria wants to fight to the death with glory and divide the final victory.
Not only because of Maria's personal grudge with Glory to the Death, from the standpoint of Sony Columbia Records, although Maria lost the battle of the century, the sales stimulation effect on the single is immeasurable, and the revenue of the single "Sweetheart" has reached a record high. So, for the company, it doesn't matter if Maria loses to Glory to the Death again, as long as the profit is high enough - not to mention, it is still unknown who will die in Maria's album showdown with Glory to Death!
This is naturally very good for the media, because it marks the beginning of the final battle of the century.
Then, twenty-four hours later, Creative Records also released the official news that the third album of the band Oasis "Stay Here (BE. here。 now)" will also be released on October 28th!
Obviously, for the Oasis band, they will not compromise and are not willing to compromise, and a fight to the death with glory is their only option. Although the Oasis failed miserably in the singles showdown, no one dares to underestimate the energy of the Oasis band, because no one will forget how last year's "British rock" battle ended up: Taint won the singles battle, but Oasis won the album battle.
Everyone knows that a single is just one single, but an album is ten - and more, and what people really care about is always the album, and no matter how good the single is, it can't replace the album's place in history. Historically, when people measure success, the first benchmark has always been an album, not a single.
So, the first battle of the Battle of the Century can only be regarded as an outpost battle, and the real highlight is here!
The news has been officially confirmed, the last piece of the puzzle of the Iron Triangle has been completed, and the final battle of the Battle of the Century has been confirmed "D-Day", Monday, October 28! This sensational collision of top singers around the world will usher in the final decisive moment, whether it is glory to death, or Oasis Band, or Maria, they all have the belief that this war will be won, and it will also be the ultimate battle that will truly change the music landscape.
The aftermath of the Battle of the Century is still lingering, and people have begun to count down to the final showdown of the War of the Century, "D-Day". Are you ready?
