72_72291In the long history of music in North American music, single sales have never been able to compete with records, but even so, there are only two albums that have sold more than one million in a single week in history, one is the soundtrack of the same name sung by Whitney Houston for the movie "Bodyguard" in 1993, and the other is the album "Showdown" by the grunge band Pearl Sauce in the same year.

The Japanese music market currently has more than 2 million albums sold in a single week, which can be counted in detail - although it is not much, but unlike the Japanese market, the American market is less explosive and more of a lasting blockbuster. "Westside Story. side。 Story)" movie soundtrack held the top spot on the Billboard album charts for a full year from 1962 to 1963.

Therefore, in the North American market, there are not as many albums that sell more than 500,000 in a single week, and as for singles, they are even rarer. Prior to this, no single in North America had surpassed the 500,000 mark in a single week, and Whitney's theme song "Burn Out" for "Stay Until You Wake Up" was the current weekly sales champion, with 410,000 sales in a single week when it was released last November.

Now, however, history has been turned upside down. A battle of the century that was unparalleled in the world completely rewrote the history of the music market, just as the "Independence Day" was born and changed the history of the film market.

"Young Volcano (young. "It took only two days to become the first single in North American music history to sell more than half a million in a single week, and in a week it raised the bar to over 1 million, which is almost impossible to surpass."

Following the opening of a new chapter in the film market, a new era in the music market has also slowly begun, and the impact of "Young Volcano" in a single week will not be inferior to the power of "Independence Day" in a single week box office exceeding 100 million, setting off a storm in the entire North American market.

As a new record-setter, Glory to Death reached the top in King's Landing!

In the face of Hugo's power, everyone has lost the ability to speak, although people have always been clear that Hugo has achieved brilliant achievements in both singers and actors, but at this moment - "Independence Day" has just broken 500 million, "Young Volcano" has just broken 1 million - people deeply feel the absolute dominance of this superstar, almost the whole summer, from July to September, Hugo swept the North American market with a devastating attitude, destroying people's ideas and refreshing the historical record.

At this time, even compared to Vivien Leigh and Clark Gable, who starred in "Gone with the Wind" that changed the history of movies, even compared to Steven Spielberg, who was born with "Jaws", even compared to Michael Jackson, who handed over 100 million sales with "Thriller", and even compared to George Lucas, who filmed "Star Wars" and created a cultural genre...... It's definitely not inferior!

All of them are as David Geffen expected, after winning Monday's single-day sales title, Glory to Death has shown an unrivaled momentum, not only because Hugo is now in full swing, but also because the spiritual core of the band has invisibly changed history and affected society, which is an unstoppable force of the wheel of history.

Although it is said that Tuesday's champion was pulled out by Maria's teeth, in fact, the glory to death strength has maintained a frequency from beginning to end, unlike Maria and the Oasis band, who both focused on one day to burst out in a terrifying way, and then began to exhaust. Maria and the Oasis Band are drinking to quench their thirst and explode their potential in advance, but glory to death is not, their abilities have reached enough heights to continue on and on.

Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Glory to death every day of the single-day sales always lead, riding the dust, with an absolute advantage to win the first battle of the century. On Monday, just like Normandy in World War II, when it was conquered by glory to the death, the subsequent victory was like a bamboo. Because Monday epitomizes the strong momentum of Glory to Death in North America - and even the power of the world, even against Maria, even against the Oasis Band, Glory to Death has a appeal that opponents can't match.

One hundred and seventy thousand, a number that never lies, gives the most intuitive, effective and vivid answer, which is the epitome of the current Glory to Death influence on the entire North American market.

But it is undeniable that the reason why the battle of the century is so exciting, and the reason why the sales of Glory to Death can break one million in the first week, is because the competitors are strong enough, and the three-legged momentum is matched with enough topic effect, which has exploded such an incredible sales number.

This was not only a victory of glory to death, but also a victory for Maria and the Oasis, but a victory for the entire North American music market.

In the first battle of the battle of the century, Maria showed strong combat effectiveness, and even showed the potential for hegemony several times, allowing people to once again appreciate the power of "Sweet Day" sweeping sixteen weeks, although the overall quality of the single "Sweetheart" did not bring surprises, but relying on Maria's appeal, it still sold 790,000 copies!

In just one week, 790,000 copies were sold, even if it was an album sale, it was enough to make people smile, let alone a single. "Sweetheart" not only became the second single in music history to sell more than 500,000 in a single week in a single week, but also made her surpass her strong rival Whitney in one fell swoop and become the most popular female singer in the North American market, and truly has the ability to compete with Whitney.

At the same time, the popularity of "Sweetheart" also pushed the combination of pop with rhythm and blues and hip-hop to new heights, officially marking the acceptance of this new experiment in the American music market. Since then, Rhythm & Blues has really hit the mainstream, opening up a whole new genre that has since sprung up including Mary Blige, Destiny, and Alicia Case. keys) and many other excellent female singers.

However, although the sales of 790,000 copies of "Sweetheart" are appalling, compared with the weekly sales of 1.07 million copies of "Young Volcano", it is suddenly overshadowed. It was only on Monday that the gap between "Sweetheart" and "Young Volcano" was still within reach, and Maria even completed a counterattack on Tuesday, but who could have predicted that in the end there would be such a big difference in the weekly sales of the two singles.

The "Young Volcano" can be said to have completely exploded its competitors without any suspense, and the sales gap of about 280,000 is a gap that can never be crossed for the North American music market - many singles do not sell 280,000 sales in a whole week, and almost all singles that can get such results can win the championship along with Lì, and this is only the gap between the two singles.

It is really appalling, and vividly interprets the phrase "there is a gap when there is a comparison".

As for the Oasis band playing away, the weakness of the overall momentum can be seen from their sales trajectory, in addition to the Monday when the energy was concentrated on the explosion, and the Thursday when all the forces were concentrated to achieve the counterattack, for most of the past week, the Oasis band was in a state of hard catch-up, and the original three-legged stand that people hoped for was more like the two-person turn of Glory to Death and Maria.

Of course, it would be unfair to say that. "You Know What I Mean" sold 510,000 copies in one week, which is not only the best performance of a foreign artist in the U.S. market at the moment, but also surpasses most American singers, becoming the third single in history to sell more than 500,000 in a single week. This achievement alone is enough to justify the name of the Oasis Band.

The reason why the battle of the century is cruel is because the three competitors are strong, and the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, which is an eternal law. This is vividly reflected in the Oasis band, although it has achieved a record 510,000 weekly sales records, far behind the competitors from the UK such as Goatskin Band, Radiohead, Shen Yun Band, and Tainted Band, and even touched the height that the Beatles have not been able to reach before, and it deserves to be called "the greatest band after the Beatles" by the British media; But even so, in front of Maria, in front of glory to death, the Oasis Band still ushered in a fiasco, a fiasco without any room for quibble.

"You know what I mean" is 280,000 fewer than "Sweetheart", such a gap - still can't be bridged, let alone compared to "Young Volcano": "Do You Know What I Mean" doesn't even reach half of the sales of "Young Volcano".

This is a massacre, a massacre without a doubt.

The Gallagher brothers of the Oasis have been shouting, defiant, rampant, and bouncing before, but all their previous actions look so ridiculous and pathetic today, like juggling clowns, full of ugliness. The cursing and foul language of the Gallagher brothers at the beginning have now become evidence that they are unbearable, and can only make them feel ashamed.

However, the tenacity of the band Oasis still far exceeded expectations, as many have said, this is the best result achieved by a foreign singer in North America, and this number alone is enough to prove the current popularity of the band Oasis; Maria's strength made this duel even more exciting, although the suspense did not remain until the last moment, but the victory of glory to death was definitely not easy to come by.

It is precisely because of the excellent performance of the three parties that this battle of the century has become so beautiful. Whether it is the glory of winning the championship to the death, the regrettable defeat of Maria, or the lack of succession of the Oasis Band, this is a war that decides the winner, but there is no loser.

Now that the Normandy landings are a thing of the past, the long journey has just begun, and the next two and third weeks are ...... There are also three official albums of singers who will continue this battle of the century until the final winner is truly decided.

However, before the end of the Normandy landings, in addition to the North American market, there were also showdowns in other parts of the world, and the winner of the first battle was also decided!
