If you look at the history of the American Billboard, there are countless works that have landed at the top of the album charts in the first week, and even many artists can reach the top of the album charts in the first week of their first album release; However, there are only a handful of works that landed at the top of the singles chart in the first week.

The reason for this is the difference in the nature of albums and singles, Americans are used to buying albums, the first week is the explosion of album sales, and then the sales gradually show a decreasing trend, so many albums can be airborne in the first week of Billboard champions; But singles are different, people are more accustomed to hearing singles from the radio, and then choosing their favorite singles, and buying them one after another, so many singles are on the charts for weeks, or even ten weeks before they enter the top ten, which is very normal, such as "Macarena", which was popular all over the United States not long ago, and this song climbed to the top of the Billboard singles chart after 33 weeks of release.

As a result, there are so many albums of Airborne Champions, but as of 1996, there were only five singles of Airborne Champions. "Beautiful. day)", Michael Jackson's "You're Not Alone", Whitney Houston's "Burnout", Mariah Carey and the boy-man duo's "Sweet Day", and the glory to death "Young Volcano" (Young. voloes）”。

Now, Glory to Death has increased the number of singles that made Zào's history to "Six", and the excellence of "Sail" has won an enthusiastic response from the entire market, catalyzed by the ultimate showdown, and it has parachuted into the top spot in the fifth week of October 1996 thanks to the strong performance of Xiàn, which set a new historical record.

What's even more incredible is that among the six current airborne champion singles, Glory to Death occupies a full three seats.

In the face of the "sailing" single-week record of 1.93 million, the "Young Volcano" record of 1.07 million in a single week not long ago was completely crushed, and at this moment people's spirits have become numb - even if more historical records appear, this qiē will not make people feel surprised, but even so, the number of "1.93 million" still makes many people so frightened that they begin to hiccup.

Compared with the pace of "Sailing" to make Zào history, Maria and Oasis also showed no weakness, and the single "Butterfly" also swept 1.69 million sales in a week, also setting an unparalleled record for Zào, following behind the glory to death, airborne to the runner-up of this week's Billboard singles chart; The final "Walk with Me" broke out with a sales figure of 1.64 million, and unfortunately ranked third by only a narrow margin, which is undoubtedly still a historical coordinate, writing the best result of a foreign singer in the United States.

Compared with the huge difference in the album charts, the gap in the singles charts is obviously within reach, even the gap between "Butterfly" and "Sailing" is not exaggerated to the point of being incredible, and it still makes people believe that this is a distance that can be surpassed. Not to mention the difference in sales between "Butterfly" and "Walk with Me" is less than 50,000 copies, and from this side, it can also be seen that the fierce Cheng dù of the ultimate duel is completely a hand-to-hand combat with bayonets.

However, no matter how excellent the expressions of "Butterfly" and "Walk with Me" are, they still become a foil, witnessing the unstoppable sales pull of "Sailing", and at the same time, they have also become direct witnesses to the glorious number of "Sailing" that will be forever engraved in the annals of history.

It's hard to imagine that in ten years' time, with an average of 200,000 sales a week, it will be able to hit the Billboard singles chart, and any single will be able to create the miracle of "sailing", "butterfly" and "walking with me". In fact, although in Japan, there are countless singles that sell more than one million in a single week, and one appears almost every once in a while; But in the United States, after 1996, it has not been seen again.

The brilliance of the three singles "Sailing", "Butterfly" and "Walk with Me" can be seen from this.

So, the top three spots on the Billboard singles chart this week are almost unquestionable, and even if the on-demand radio ratings in the first week of release can't compete with other singles, the huge sales advantage is still enough to change the entire chart.

With the "voyage" came to an end to the "young volcano" (young. voloes)", the Billboard singles chart in the fifth week of October has undergone a seismic change, "Sailing", "Butterfly", and "Walk with Me" have a huge advantage in the top three, while "Young Volcano", which had won the first five consecutive weeks, has directly retreated to fourth place.

This is not an unexpected result, although the "Young Volcano" was completely suppressed by the strong momentum of the ultimate showdown in terms of sales, and there was no breathing room at all, but in the radio on-demand rate rankings, the "Young Volcano" still led by two percentage points, extending its sweeping momentum.

In fact, thanks to the strong appeal of this week's final showdown, the sales of all three singles, "Young Volcano", "Sweetheart", and "Do You Know What I Mean", have picked up, increasing the influence of the troika to the maximum.

Among them, "Young Volcano" took advantage of the situation to win 180,000 sales, coupled with the excellent performance of the radio on-demand rate, it still suppressed other competitors without respite. It can be said that if the final showdown had not chosen to erupt at this time, the six consecutive titles of "Young Volcano" were within reach, and even the seventh and eighth consecutive championships were not without hope - especially considering the strong momentum of this single.

But that's the reality, as Glory to Death ended "Young Volcano's" winning streak and repelled two formidable rivals with a sweeping streak to become the eventual winner of the first week of the Ultimate Showdown.

The courage of glory to death, this calmness, and this casualness are admirable!

What's more, there are two seats in the top five this week, which not only proves the sweeping momentum of Glory to Death in North America today, but also continues the excellent performance since "almost famous"; And considering that such a result still occurred on the premise that the ultimate showdown attracted the attention of the entire market, the two singles both ranked in the top five, which is an important affirmation of glory to death in the entire music market.

People have expected the glorious table of glory to death, but few people dare to predict the mythical table of glory to death so boldly.

Behind the "Young Volcano", this week's fifth place is still the long-standing "Macarena", a Spanish song that has become popular in major nightclubs across the United States, if it is not for the battle of the century and the ultimate showdown, I am afraid that it will not be too much of a problem to win more than ten consecutive weeks. At this time, even in the face of the strong performance of the ultimate showdown seckill market, "Macarena" is still high, which can be seen.

Although Celine's single "Re-possession" was defeated early because of the head-on impact on the Battle of the Century, thanks to the good quality of the single, the follow-up development momentum is also very good, ranking sixth this week, although the ranking has declined, but the overall result is basically the same, and it has not been destroyed by the momentum of the ultimate showdown. To be able to achieve such results is already a huge affirmation for the "re-possession" that was born at the wrong time.

Maria's "sweetheart" slipped from sixth place last week to seventh place, although it was a drop of one place, but in fact, considering that the top three have all been replaced, "sweetheart" is actually a bright and dark rise. In particular, "Butterfly" was praised by music critics throughout the album, and considering Maria's status as a diva in North America, it is not surprising that sales of "Sweetheart" have picked up.

However, it is clear that Maria's overall momentum is still not comparable to that of Glory to Death, with "Young Volcano" coming in at number four, still leading all singles released before last week; But "Sweetheart" only ranked seventh, and still lost a chip after all.

As for the Oasis band, they are even more unconfident, although "Do you know what I mean" has seen a rebound in sales through the momentum of the ultimate showdown, and the magnitude is not small, but in the end it still regrettably fell out of the top 10, ranking 11th this week. From 11th to 10th place, there is only one difference in position, but the real effect is very different.

Among the top 10 spots, Glory to Death and Maria each occupy two seats, but Oasis, one of the troikas, has only one seat, and the signs of falling behind are becoming more and more obvious. From the Battle of the Century to the Ultimate Showdown, the Oasis Band's showdown with Glory to the Death has almost no chance, and every aspect is completely blown up.

On top of the Billboard singles chart in the fifth week of October, Donna Louise, Blackstreet, and Keith Sweet occupied the last three remaining spots in the top 10, becoming the last members of the Billboard charts that went down in history this week.

Of course, there is no doubt that the troika of the ultimate showdown is the absolute protagonist of the fifth week of October, from the album chart to the singles chart, it has been swept across the board, and the other qiē works have been reduced to a foil. But to be able to occupy the top 10 positions in this historic week is also a great honor for the singers, because quietly they have also become one of the names recorded in the annals of history.

The final list of the North American Billboard double charts was determined, and Glory to Death once again won the album and singles double charts after "Bathing in the Morning Light", and "Storm" and "Sailing" reached the top together; Mariah Carey relied on the album "Butterfly" and the single of the same name, both of which ranked second, proving her super popularity in North America; Although the overall momentum of the Oasis Band is not only slightly inferior, but "Stay Now" and "Walk with Me" not only ranked third on the double charts, but also achieved a height that other competitors could not achieve, and the results are still worthy of praise.

Similar to the album's global momentum, not only in the North American market, but also in the global battle, the UK continues to attract full attention as a battleground. Not surprisingly, the history of British music has also changed with this ultimate showdown.
