72_72291 Standing on the global world map, Mariah Carey won the market led by Japan and Oceania, among which Japan's victory is undoubtedly epoch-making; Oasis dominates the UK, once again cementing their position as the number one rock band in the country; Glory swept the North American market to death, continuing the previous strong momentum as always, and continuing to open up areas that Nirvana had not been able to touch.

In this way, this seems to be a three-way competition, the United States, Japan, the United Kingdom, the three major global music battlefields, each of the three wins, regardless of the prestige, at least in terms of momentum, it is true, the record companies behind the three parties are also so promoted, EMI Records emphasizes the glory of the North American market, Sony Columbia Records praises the importance of the Japanese market, and Chuangzào Records shouts about the recovery of the British market. It's a matchup with no losers.

The Battle of the Century kicked off in this way, which is the most perfect start, highlighting the strong appeal and top influence of the three parties - each group of singers has strong strength, each other has huge market support, and they can all be said to be the top singers in the current market, worthy of being called the "Battle of the Century" by countless media!

But in fact, is there really no winner? Not really.

The difference between wins and losses in different markets directly leads to the differences in the final global market table. Obviously, this time Glory to Death achieved unparalleled brilliance, and not just single sales.

Glory to Death not only swept the sales frenzy in the entrenched North American market, but also overwhelmed the two competitors with a huge advantage; And the staggering power in the Japanese and British markets, which have never been advertised – especially in the UK, which lost to Oasis in less than 10,000 copies, is a clear indication of the global influence of Glory to Death.

Judging from the comprehensive table, Glory to Death is undoubtedly in full bloom in various countries and regions around the world, and it has also shown no inferior competitiveness in the "opponent's territory", declaring its strong sense of existence with a sweeping momentum.

Whether it is said that Glory to Death is taking advantage of the east wind of "Independence Day", or that Hugo's survival has attracted more attention to Glory to Death, it is undeniable that Glory to Death is stepping out of the North American market and expanding its footprint to the world. More importantly, "young volcanoes (young. voloes)" The single's word-of-mouth reached a whole new level, easily ahead of the two competitors, which was one of the big factors in the fact that the single achieved such a great result on a global scale.

In a commentary, the British professional music magazine "Q Magazine" said, "The song 'Sweetheart' obviously loses Maria's most moving sound quality, and at the same time loses her element of capturing the heart of women, it cannot be said that this transformation attempt is a failure, but it cannot be said to be a success."

'You know what I mean' is a big disappointment, it seems that Oasis has too much to express, but because of their limited ability, they end up falling apart, presenting a song full of boredom, anxiety, and eagerness, and behind the wanton lyrics is the ambition of Oasis, but unfortunately they have hit a bottleneck.

'Young Volcano' is not a completely new track, but after Hugo's arrangement, this single that has amazed countless people finally takes on its due form - excellent! Illustrious! Amazing! The bold use of the drum beat as the main theme, the spirit of the band is poured into the lyrics, and the majestic momentum is blowing in the face. After two years of silence, Glory to Death brings surprises once again, just as it did when 'Near Fame' was first introduced. ”

Listeners' support and feedback on music is one of the important messages at all times, and the evaluation of music by professional music critics is also part of the important information. Especially this time in the battle of the century, Glory to Death, Oasis and Maria all received rave reviews on the last album, and word-of-mouth and sales achieved an absolute win-win; So this time, the competition between the top three is not only about sales, but also about the quality of music - especially the Oasis Band and Glory to Death are the key three albums that test their strength, and the focus of attention focused on word-of-mouth is particularly hot, which is also an important reason why the Battle of the Century is so lively.

As the UK's top professional magazine, Q Magazine's views can be said to be very objective, especially for the Oasis band, even if it is the hope of the revival of local music, they do not blindly applaud - perhaps it is precisely because of the deep responsibility of love that the criticism is so harsh.

It has to be said that Britain has been looking forward to the revival of rock and roll for nearly 30 years, and every time a rock band comes out, they will exclaim the rise of British rock and roll again, and exclaim that the "Beatles" will appear again - as if every World Cup comes, they chant this time "the strongest national team ever". So, whenever these bands let professional critics down, they fell down faster than anyone else – because the bands lived up to all their hopes for rock, and their hopes grew with time.

There is a comparison to get the best out of it, and Q Magazine's admiration for Glory to Death is refreshing, and although they don't call Glory to Death "The Beatles Return", you can feel their appreciation for the band. It is rare for Q Magazine to be able to throw aside the shackles of national borders and recognize glory to death – and in the context of the battle of the century.

Although there are not many professional music magazines like "Q Magazine", there are many of them, and the establishment of the half-century-old music magazine "New Music Express" (new. musical。 express)" is relatively objective and has been recognized by many people.

"Oasis and Glory to Death are representatives of the new rock forces in Britain and the United States, and what they condense is the modern rock after the combination of old rock and new era musical elements, some people call it new metal rock, some people call it British rock, but more important than the name, the spirit of the two bands is condensed.

Oasis' new single 'You Know What I Mean' continues the band's gritty and gloomy style, and you can feel the gradual maturation of their style, retaining the best of both previous albums. But because the previous two albums were so amazing, the first wave of singles on the third album lacked some surprises. We can't call it a failure, we can only say that the higher the hope, the greater the disappointment, but we still can't deny the excellence of this single, and Oasis is still the most likely leader in the whole of Britain to carry the banner of rock renaissance.

The three albums of Glory to Death carried countless expectations, and this band, which perfectly combines classic rock technology and modern music style, was born on the shoulders of the times. As the first wave of singles, "Young Volcano" can undoubtedly see the ambition of glory to death, strong and powerful arrangement, meaningful lyrics, and majestic interpretation, glory to death does represent the direction of contemporary music, continuing the essence of traditional rock and roll, and integrating modern pop concepts, thus creating this excellent single, allowing people to see the prosperity of the Beatles when they were born in a trance again.

Comparatively speaking, the single 'Sweetheart', as the first wave of promotion of Maria's new album, lacks a bit of power, and you can vaguely feel the direction of Maria's transformation, but we need to grasp the pulse more through this album. However, as one of the best female singers today, Maria still shows her superb singing skills and excellent control, which is still undeniable.

This battle of the century has just begun, and the music market will use the most direct and ruthless number to give their choice, what we need to do is just wait and see. Because the real winner of this duel is always us. ”

"New Music Express" is still a bowl of water on the whole, without too much criticism, but you can still vaguely feel their admiration for glory to death. It can be seen from here that even the British cannot deny the rising momentum of glory to death.

Similarly, the independent American magazine Spinning made a similar view, "The mediocre 'sweetheart' is doing nothing, the technically crude 'Do You Know What I mean' is in a bottleneck, and the talented 'young volcano' is stunning the world." "Their attitude can be seen in the simple and clear comments.

As the most influential music magazine in North America and even in the world, "Rolling Stone" has no way to ignore the glory to death again this time. As anyone in the industry knows, "The Rolling Stones" has never been officially reported on Glory to Death and Hugo, whether it is a movie starring Hugo or a music that is Glory to Death. As the leader of mainstream magazines, "Rolling Stone" has always been stubborn and resistant to glory to death.

But this time, the "Rolling Stones" had no choice. Not only because of the War of the Century, but also because of the musical pride that was involved in Britain and the United States – and on a global scale.

"Glory to Death announced with the song 'Young Volcano' that they are still the biggest disruptors in the mainstream market at the moment, and as a representative of alternative rock, Glory to Death is using their outstanding performance xiàn to win more attention and win a place in the mainstream market." Young Volcano's excellent completion and excellent interpretation perfectly present this domineering and strong.

As the fastest rising band in recent years, Oasis shows their wanton and arrogant performance, with 'Do You Know What I Mean' lyrics are domineering, and the casual melody is filled with obscure melancholy and sadness, outlining the band in gray notes, which is impressive.

After becoming a diva, Maria still did not stop her pace of innovation, this time 'Sweetheart' boldly challenged the fusion of rhythm and blues, hip-hop, pop and other styles, and burst out with a different charm under Maria's interpretation. As the first wave of singles, she has managed to pique our interest in the whole album. ”

The music critics of "Rolling Stone" are really intriguing, and they still see Glory to Death as an intruder into the mainstream music market, an alien intruder. But they also have no way to deny the excellence of the music of Glory to the Death, and while pursuing the Oasis and Maria, "The Rolling Stones" also gave the Glory to the Death for the first time in history the affirmation that it should have belonged to them.

Whether it is Britain or the United States, it can be seen from the media commentary that even if everyone is affirming this battle of the century in the general direction, but quietly, glory to death has begun to stand out, even if it is only a small lead at present, it is enough to change the entire situation of this battle of the century!
