In the fourth week of September of 72_722911996, this is the week that will go down in history, the first work in North American film history to exceed 500 million box office appeared, the first work in global film history to exceed 1 billion box office appeared, the first single in North America to sell more than 500,000 in a single week, and the first single in the world to sell 3 million in a single week......

The excitement and exuberance of the week had an immeasurable impact on the entertainment industry around the world, with a long reflex arc that lasted for two decades later.

After experiencing the thrill of the Battle of the Century in the fourth week of September, although the media still paid great attention to the follow-up development of the Battle of the Century, the enthusiasm of the general public was dissipating little by little, after all, all the energy of the Battle of the Century was concentrated in the first week, and it was difficult for the next competition to further generate suspense; What's more, people need to restock their energy for the upcoming final battle of the Century, the album war, and then join the carnival of a showdown that will definitely go down in history.

In the first week of October, the frenzy that has not completely dissipated can still be felt in the air, and this week's Billboard singles chart was announced for the first time, on the one hand, the next week's chart is still affected by the battle of the century, but on the other hand, it depends more on the quality and word-of-mouth of the single itself, which is not much different from the music and film market.

The final list can be said to be almost without any suspense.

"Young Volcano (young. Voloes)" relied on an incomparably strong reputation and popularity, easily swept the sales of 480,000 again, although this number jù plummeted by more than 50% from last week, but such a strong number of jù still made everyone's jaw dislogulate.

The 480,000 weekly sales are the best weekly results in the North American music market in the long history of music, except for the iron triangle of the battle of the century last week! And this is only the sales number of the "young volcano" in the second week, and the majesty of glory to death is simply impossible to open people's eyes, and they can only kneel on their knees and bow in worship.

The single "Young Volcano" easily completed the top spot on the Billboard singles chart without any suspense in the attitude of creating zào history, which also proves that Glory to Death is now an extraordinary status, following the first victory in the battle of the century, the momentum of Glory to Death has not decreased but risen, and it has gone higher and higher, stimulated by the news that the tour is about to kick off, the support of young volcanoes for this single has reached an unprecedented height, allowing the world to truly face up to the energy and enthusiasm of young volcanoes!

In fact, not only did the sales sweep, but in terms of radio on-demand rates, "Young Volcano" also surpassed its strongest competitor "Sweetheart" and achieved incredible dominance.

Last week, as the Battle of the Century had just kicked off, Audio-Technica's three singles were not dominant in terms of on-demand, and all three singles were ranked outside the top 20 - which is already a very good result for the newly released single; And this week, after the brewing and precipitation of the Battle of the Century, the on-demand rate of the three singles has begun to rise rapidly, including those listeners who have no intention of buying the singles at all, and are just curious about the Battle of the Century, and they have also been on demand on the radio.

Although "Young Volcano" has killed all sides in terms of sales, but in terms of radio on-demand rate, the weakness of the mass base led by the music genre makes it difficult for it to have an advantage in the face of "Sweetheart", and the development curve of the final radio on-demand rate also confirms this, "Sweetheart" has achieved a slight advantage from Monday to Thursday, always ahead of "Young Volcano", but in the last three days of the week, "Young Volcano" has gradually completed the counterattack by relying on strong word-of-mouth, and finally defeated a number of opponents, became the champion of this week's radio on-demand rate.

From sales to on-demand, "Young Volcano" has achieved an all-round lead, continuing the strong battle of the century.

Similarly, this week's runner-up on the Billboard singles chart killed the suspense early, with Mariah Carey's "Sweetheart" coming out on top for the second week in a row.

Although she fell behind in the confrontation with the "Young Volcano", Maria, as one of the most appealing female singers today, still made countless people shine with the results of "Sweetheart", which swept 220,000 sales the following week, and the excellence of the table is definitely worth celebrating, plus this week's radio on-demand rate is in third place - this week's runner-up is the popular Spanish dance song "Macarena", which is enough to ensure that "Sweetheart" beats all other competitors and occupies the runner-up position.

But this qiē is a shame for Maria, not only because this week's sales are only 220,000, a plummeting of 70%, although it is necessary to count the abnormal eruption of the battle of the century, but after comparing the decline of "Young Volcano", it proves that the listener reputation of "Sweetheart" is far less than expected.

At the same time, because the gap between "Sweetheart" and "Young Volcano" has actually widened, in the face of the powerful impact of glory to death, Maria can almost be said to be powerless, and she is completely defeated, even worse than when "Fantasy" lost to "Apologize" a year ago, the battle of the century intensified, exaggerated, and refined the gap between singers, so that Maria was defeated, even if "Sweetheart" was excellent, it was only reduced to a supporting role of "Young Volcano", which was for Maria, is absolutely unacceptable.

Maria recently appeared on various programs in order to promote "Sweetheart" and also to promote her new album, and it can be seen from her words and deeds that she is determined to win the final battle of the upcoming Battle of the Century, not only will she not compromise lightly, but also has strong confidence in defeating Glory to death.

Indeed, albums and singles are two different things, and some people can succeed in singles, but album sales have always been tepid, and Katy Perry is one of the typical representatives. Some people's single lists are really average, but album sales are always able to create zào miracles, such as Pearl Sauce and Nirvana.

As the most appealing pop music representative singer in the current market, although the album pull power of rock forces cannot be underestimated, Maria still has a huge advantage against Glory to Death. At this time, people realized that although the Glory to Death and Maria competition lasted for a long time, the two singers never went head-to-head on the album, which made people look forward to the next development of the Century!

Oasis' "You Know What I Mean" was in third place on the Billboard singles chart this week, so there is not much suspense about the answer, but this single also fell by more than 70 percent, and Maria is definitely a difficult brother, and finally achieved 130,000 weekly sales, although they easily defeated other competitors and firmly held the third place, but the gap between them and Glory to Death became wider and wider.

In this rock battle in North America, Glory to Death killed the Oasis band with an absolute advantage, which may not represent that the current advantage of new metal rock has completely leaned towards Glory to Death, nor can it represent the difference between the status of Glory to Death and Oasis Band; But it can definitely represent the huge influence of glory to death in North America today, and has become the most appealing and discursive rock band after Nirvana.

The Oasis band can be said to have lost face and lost their lizi in this duel, allowing them to "escape" back to London in a hurry, but this is only relative to their duel with glory to death, in fact, if compared to the Oasis band themselves, this battle of the century has really established their status as the leading British rock - although the Oasis band's single sales were further widened by glory to death the next week, the gap between them and Maria is rapidly narrowing.

It can be seen that the football hooliganism style of the Oasis band still did not stop the development of neo-metal rock towards more and more simplistic and more common, and it is one thing to lose to glory to death, but the direction of the development of rock and roll that they themselves represent is another, and the results of "You Know What I Mean" still achieved in the following week were still brilliant, which is the best proof of this. It is foreseeable that after the showdown of singles, the showdown of albums will push the differences and contradictions of the future development of new metal rock to the peak.

There is still no change in the top three of the list in the first week of October, and "Macarena", which firmly holds the runner-up position in the radio on-demand rate this week, although the popularity is still high, still occupies the third place due to the disadvantage in sales.

To be more precise, due to the end of the typhoon of the battle of the century, the entire market seems to be unstable, and among the top 10, there is only the original 10th place "where. do。 you。 GO)" moved up to seventh place, and the boy electronic dance music group No Mercy (no. Mercy) sang a song that came out last year, taking over the banner of electronic dance music after the decline of disco, and the rise rate is amazing.

Other than that, all the members of the top 10 have not changed, and the long influence of the Battle of the Century can also be felt from this small detail, and even after the first week of competition is over, the dominance of the Iron Triangle continues. At this time, people are even more curious about how long such dominance can last, when will the Iron Triangle start to fall behind, and when will the final album battle of the battle of the century be staged?

In the second week of October, "Young Volcano" once again swept 290,000 sales - the third week's sales number was still the highest weekly sales of the best single "Wonderwall" to date.

This brings to mind "Independence Day".

"Young Volcano" easily won the Billboard singles chart three times in a row, and it seems that the aftermath of the battle of the century will not fade anytime soon
