How many journalists can imagine that when they were hyping up the battle of the century against Mariah Carey vs. Oasis, they would really set off a "end-of-the-century glory"; How many experts can imagine that after the strong rise of rock and roll against the popular pattern, they will really experience the miracle of rock 'n' roll's re-emergence; How many listeners can imagine that they would be part of the history-making moment when they lined up day and night in front of the record store just to support their idols.

How many people can imagine that "Storm" really set off a storm, not only in the music market, but also in the entire history.

"Storm" swept 8.3 million sales in eight weeks, and only seven weeks later, "Storm" North American sales officially crossed the 10 million threshold. Ninety-nine days, to be exact! Although the total sales of "Storm" are still a long way from the records, this does not prevent the album from becoming the first album in music history to sell more than 10 million in 100 days.

Because the sales of "Storm" were so crazy that the Recording Industry Association of America had to hold a special meeting, and then the term "diamond sales" was officially born. In the U.S., gold records are 500,000, platinum records are 1 million, and a few platinums are millions of sales, and now, a new term has been added: diamond records, which is also a special award for albums that have sold more than 10 million copies, and has become the crowning glory.

"Tempest" became the first diamond record in the history of North American music! A new era has begun.

Of course, there are as many as one hundred and three diamond records in the long history of North American music, of which the Beatles has five diamond records in North America, and is proud of the crowd; The best-selling singers were the Eagles and Michael Jackson, the Eagles' 1976 compilations sold 29 million copies in the United States, and Michael's "Thriller" also included 29 million, which no one has been able to surpass to this day.

There is still a long way to go to catch up with these records, but so far, all three albums have become diamond records, which is also a historical record, and "Tempest" has exceeded the 10 million threshold in just 99 days, which makes all the media exclaim: Is "Tempest" going to become the third album in North American history to exceed 25 million sales?

After the battle of the century and the ultimate showdown came to an end, and the Grammys ended with a glorious victory to the death, the boiling of the music market has just begun.

In the fifth week of March, "Tempest" defeated Southern rapper Scarface's new album "Untouchable" to top the Billboard album chart for the twenty-first consecutive time, surpassing Elvis Pressley's "Blue." Hawaii)" and Whitney Houston's "Bodyguard" movie soundtrack, tied for ninth place on the all-time list.

In the first week of April, "Storm" defeated the "Space Slam Dunk" movie soundtrack again, completing the 22nd consecutive week of promotion, surpassing the MC. Hammer's 1990 album "Hammer, Please Don't Hurt Them (Please. Hammer，Don’t。 Hurt。 'Em)", which was in eighth place alone.

Subsequently, "Storm" unstoppably surpassed the "Saturday Night Fever" movie soundtrack and the "Purple Rain" movie soundtrack, and the number of consecutive championship weeks accumulated all the way to 25 weeks, and did not show any decline at all, and continued to move forward with the wind and waves, and finally attracted the exclamation of the whole United States in the fourth week of May:

After beating out the Spice Girls' debut album "Spice" to top this week's Billboard albums chart, "Tempest" officially stands on the shoulders of giants, bringing his winning streak to 30 weeks!

This time, no one will miss it, because history has ******** been grandly released in front of their eyes, and even if it stops here, glory to death has already written history, "Storm" has become the most successful album in the past thirty years, second only to "Thriller", which does not need to be discussed too much, whether it is 30 consecutive weeks of success, or up to 13 million cumulative sales, it is enough to go down in history, and the strong rise of rock has inexorably enveloped the entire North American continent.

But people are looking forward to it, expecting that Glory to Death can further rewrite history, be able to create further brilliance, and truly bring this carnival to a climax. The enthusiastic support of the people did not disappoint "Tempest", and the rest is known to all: "Tempest" successfully defeated Hansen's album "Middle" in the second week of July. Of。 Nowhere)", leaving his name on the top spot on the Billboard album chart for the thirty-seventh consecutive time, tying "Thriller" for the number of weeks he won the album and ranking second all-time.

Now, only the "West Side Story" movie soundtrack is left in front of "Storm".

Thirty-seven weeks, a full thirty-seven weeks of dynasty, more than nine months of glory, the strong "Storm" firmly controlled the entire music market, and what is even more terrifying is that the 37th week of "Storm" still handed over 180,000 sales in a single week, so good that all languages have lost their color.

Even more ironic is that "Stay Here" was completely out of the charts as early as early April, and the band Oasis disappeared once again, returning to London to recuperate, even though the band brought hope for the revival of British rock, but at this point in time, even the British media themselves could not take the focus away from glory to death.

At this time, although "Butterfly" still remained on the list, it had fallen out of the top 50 and was not competitive and comparable at all. It's not uncommon if it's just an average album — "Storm" has seen how many albums go in and out of the charts over the past 37 weeks, but the point is, all three albums were released in the same week, and it's a booming Triangle of the Century.

How sensational the battle of the century was, how ironic the current list is.

With the strong momentum of winning the championship for 37 consecutive weeks, the cumulative sales of "Storm" North America have crossed the threshold of 14 million, and it seems that 20 million sales are already aspiring. This has caused the North American music industry to fall apart, and almost everyone is eagerly discussing whether "Storm" can win the championship again next week, whether it can break the "shudder" record, and whether it can break the shackles of the 40-week championship and hit the height of "West Side Story"?

The album charts are shaking the world, and the singles charts have changed the dynasty.

No one will forget the battle between "Wonderwall" and "Sweet Day" in the past two years, first "Wonderwall" for 15 consecutive weeks, followed by "Sweet Day" for 16 consecutive weeks, and almost in just half a year, the record of the Billboard singles chart has been constantly broken, which is also a witness to Mariah Carey's ascension to the throne of the diva!

However, less than a year after "Sweet Day" set history, history was changed once again, and the single "Sail" truncated "Young. Volcanoes)" ended its 1996 journey with eight consecutive titles, and after entering 1997, the sweep of "Voyage" barely abated, and it made new history by dominating the single-day on-demand charts for 66 consecutive days.

"Sailing" first defeated the hot girls' "Wannabe" in the third week of February, tying the 16-week winning streak of "Sweet Day"; Then, in the first week of March, they defeated the hit single of the Spice Girls for the second time in a row, and strongly accumulated the number of consecutive weeks to seventeen weeks, writing a new history again.

"Sailing's seventeen-week winning streak not only re-engraved the name of Glory to Death on the history of Billboard singles, but also gave Glory to Death three 10-week consecutive singles, "Beautiful. Day)", "Lost Wall" and "Sailing", which is also the only glory in the long history of music. This is the ironclad proof of the rock dynasty.

Immediately afterward, "Sailing" defeated "Want to Be" for the third week in a row, bringing his winning streak to eighteen weeks, and just as everyone was wondering if "Sailing" could reach the incredible heights of twenty consecutive weeks, the album's third single "Long. Long。 Way。 To。 Go)" has quietly made it into the top 10, joining forces with "Young Volcano" and "Sailing" to occupy three spots in the top 10.

"The Long Road", the third single from the album "Glory to Death", was released in a very low-key manner. EMI Records officially released the single after the Grammy Awards, without a music video or deliberate promotion, just the release of the single, with a meaningful name for the real young volcanoes.

Because "The Long Road" didn't make a big splash or perform on the night of the Grammys, it was very low-key in its first week of release, just ranking in the top 100 and 91 in the first week.

In the following two weeks, the sales of "Long Road" did not explode quickly, but steadily rose in the radio on-demand charts. By the time people noticed this single, it had already unwittingly entered the top 10 and occupied a high position in sixth place, which really surprised many people.

In the third week of March, "The Long Road" jumped straight to the top of the championship, squeezed "Voyage" into second place, ended "Voyage's" incredible record of 18 consecutive weeks, and extended the momentum of glory to death that began in the third week of September last year to dominate the Billboard singles chart for 24 weeks!

From "Young Volcano" to "Sailing" to "Long Road", a glorious and deathly rock dynasty has gradually taken shape.
