Chapter 1628: Sweeping Thousands of Armies
72_72291 In the fourth week of September, the North American Billboard charts were in full swing, and the band Glory to Death, Maria and Oasis joined forces to explode with 2.37 million single sales, setting a new record in the North American music market without suspense, and the sales volume of the top three contributed by jù reached nearly 80% of the total sales this week!
Eighty percent, the entire North American market was on the spot, and three groups of singers swept into the fourth week of September, becoming the only focus of the week, with such a strong momentum, thousands of people collectively witnessed the glorious moment of glory to death to the top of this week's Billboard singles chart!
The other singles of the week were not worth mentioning the competitiveness of the other singles due to the devastating stance of the Battle of the Century, when the Spanish single "Macarena" (MAA), which had been the top spot for 14 consecutive weeks, plummeted to fourth place.
As the most successful Spanish duet group worldwide, the Man by the River (los. del。 Rio) has achieved incredible results with this brand new album "Macarena", which has already achieved over 10 million sales worldwide, making it the best-selling Latin record in music history at the moment!
The title song of the album's namesake, "Macarena", has been a hit since its release, winning the hearts of countless listeners with its upbeat melody and seething rhythm, and this dance music frenzy is sweeping the United States and the United Kingdom, becoming an essential track for weddings, clubs, and balls.
The song "Macarena" has been at the top of the Billboard singles chart for 14 weeks, equaling the previous "I'll Love You Forever" and "Good Day" zào records, and the momentum is jaw-dropping. Unfortunately, Macarena encountered a once-in-a-century battle of the century, and the dream of a fifteen-game winning streak held by Wonderwall was shattered.
Under the glory of "Macarena", which won 14 consecutive championships, the prestige of the Battle of the Century was even stronger.
After it, Donna Louise (Donna. Lewis), Celine Dion, Keith Sweet (Keith). sweat) and other popular singles, which had achieved good results in the previous weeks, topping the top five of the charts, but all disappeared completely this week and became a foil. In particular, the unlucky Celine chose to release the first single of her new album - a cover track - "It's Again" in the first week of September. all。 bae。 now)", but it hit the battle of the century, and it could only be a bitter fruit, and the arc of sales growth suddenly died.
It's fair to say that the top three singers of the War of the Century have taken the entire Billboard singles chart by storm, turning the final charts in the fourth week of September upside down.
Similar to the North American Billboard, the British pop charts also showed a downward trend, with the battle of the century swept 70% of the weekly sales, and it can almost be said that the entire market cannot accommodate other artists except the battle of the century. The Man by the River, Donna Louise, who had previously excelled in the British pop charts, bitterly retreated to the middle of the charts.
However, unlike the North American market, the two-person turn of Glory to Death and Maria, the British market is the home of the Oasis Band, although the support rate of the Oasis Band in the local area has not reached the height of a monopoly, but it is incomparable to the two groups of "American singers" of Glory to Death and Maria, which makes the shape of the battle change dramatically - this time it is the Glory to the Death Carrying the Oasis Band!
After the Oasis Band won the single-day sales championship by a narrow margin on Monday, the whole UK cheered, but also felt a strong sense of crisis, because the impact of Glory to the Death on the Oasis Band is really unimaginable, and the slight gap between the two makes the Oasis Band not look like the side with the lead singer advantage at all. What's more, compared to the American market, the glory to death left the Oasis Band behind, the British market's support for the Oasis Band is not explosive.
Against this backdrop, on Tuesday, September 24, the British Oasis Band fan base exploded in full force, and they are making every effort to show their support for the Oasis. What's even more remarkable is that not only Oasis fans, but also so many local British rock lovers have flocked to record stores to show their support for Oasis - or, more accurately, for the British band.
Because, this is the pride and self-esteem of British rock.
In the world of rock and roll, British rock has always been a genre that cannot be ignored, even if there are various rock bands in the United States, but the rock heritage on this land of Britain is difficult for others to achieve.
In the starry sixties, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Queen, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin. zeppelin, these bands have truly changed an era, and their influence has spread from the sixties to the second decade of the twenty-first century, and their impact and influence on culture can still be clearly felt.
In the 90s, the Smith, the Stone Roses, Goatskin, Radioheads, Tainted and other leading figures appeared in this land that has accumulated countless history, and they changed the composition of the mainstream music market, bringing the supreme glory of British rock to this era of spiritual scarcity, and had an immeasurable and powerful impact on the direction of music in the next two decades.
The glorious history of the UK is filled with infinite pride, not only in music, but also in the self-esteem of the British, who have a blind belief and belief in their music: the belief that music can change the world, the belief that Britain has the best music in the world, and the belief that their magnificent history will continue to continue.
This is also the reason why every time there is a high-quality rock band, all the British media will hype it up - as if the sun never set on the empire, as if it were the birthplace of modern football, as if the 1966 World Cup will always be remembered, the glory of the past is flowing in the bones of the British, they are eager to have such a victory again, they are eager to relive this glory, they are eager to prove their faith.
Now, the Oasis is the hope of the British, one of the most influential bands since the Beatles, and has won the love of Americans even across the Atlantic. The British longed for the Oasis Band to shoulder the banner of rock 'n' roll revival and lead British rock to its glory.
Although the Gallagher brothers of the Oasis are utterly football hooligans, many true rock fans have a lot of criticism about them; But it is undeniable that the Oasis was able to become an important part of the battle of the century, and this in itself is a testament to the global influence of the Oasis today, which is enough for the British to abandon all prejudices and stand behind the Oasis.
So, on Tuesday, not only the fans of the Oasis, but also thousands of British rock lovers joined in this battle of the century, making the British record market reproduce the glory of the 60s and 70s, far surpassing last year's "British rock battle" between Oasis and Tain, and becoming one of the most popular events for everyone in the UK.
After the Oasis Band and Glory to Death both exploded 300,000 singles on Monday, on Tuesday, the Oasis Band once again brazenly wrote history, the day after the release of the single, they made persistent efforts to achieve 250,000 sales, and achieved 560,000 sales in just two days of release.
As the British Isles sparked a frenzy of support for the Oasis, Glory to Death and Maria were naturally a trade-off situation," said the young Volcano. voloes)" and "Sweetheart" both saw a huge dive in sales on this day, and the Oasis Band watched the gap widen rapidly as they continued to win the single-day sales championship.
"Young Volcano" sold 140,000 copies the day after its release in the UK, while "Sweetheart" sold only 80,000 copies on the same day.
Objectively speaking, this is still an incredible achievement, especially for the two groups of singers who lack publicity in the UK, it is really rare to be able to achieve such an efficient number on the second day after the first day of release. This makes one wonder of the sales trajectory that Oasis has achieved in North America.
But also compared to the situation of the Oasis Band in North America, on the land of England, Glory to Death, Maria lost both in the next day's duel with the Oasis Band, even if they took advantage of the momentum of the Battle of the Century to achieve a proud sales number, but in front of the Oasis Band's 210,000 daily sales, it is still not worth mentioning.
It can be said that Oasis relied on the home advantage to win back a city, and if Oasis can maintain this momentum in the next few days of the week, then the British market will still be rock-solid for Oasis Band. This made all the British media boil, and all the media, led by the "Times", were celebrating the victory of the Oasis Band for two consecutive days, two hearty victories in a row, which really gave them hope that British rock would once again stand on the world stage.
This is also one of the important meanings of the battle of the century, which is not only a duel between three groups of singers, but also a duel between different music genres, or between different countries, and this duel is bound to have an endless impact on the future from any point of view.
The battle of the century, on the 23rd, swept out the sales of 800,000 in the British market; On the 24th, it swept 450,000 copies in the British market, and spread the influence of this duel to every corner of the world with a sweeping momentum
