When 72_72291 announced the sales figures of "Stay Here", there was an uproar; When the sales results of "Butterfly" were announced, they screamed again and again; But when the results of the "Storm" sales were announced, the whole United States was silent.

There was not a sound at all, and everyone was destroyed by the surging shock, and their brains could not function at all, and they could only freeze in place like fools, unable to respond. Quiet, only quiet, the silent but clear set off the storm of the entire North American continent at this moment.

Stormy winds, King's Landing.

Everyone in the room where the Oasis was was stunned, even Liam, who was angry, and Knorr, who was full of disdain, were completely stunned, and their shocks were clearly written on their faces; There was a dead silence in the room where Maria was, there were more than forty people gathered, but it was like an empty room with no one in it, and even the noise of the television was very clear.

The candles on the cake on the table are still flickering, the bubbles of champagne are still bubbling in the hand, and the whole room is decorated with latte art and paper scraps all over the floor...... The incomparable excitement was still rolling in the air, showing the fiery atmosphere just now, but the people who should really be partying seemed to be still, stiffened in place, like puppets, caught in the vortex of time and space stagnation.

Extreme bustle to extreme quiet, wonderful paradise to quiet hell, just a second away.

There was no sound in the "Sixty Minutes" live broadcast room, no one even held his dislocated chin, Mike, who was sitting next to Ed, had a slight stiff face, and a crack appeared in the calm composure between his eyebrows, and then it got bigger and bigger. Mike is 80 years old this year, he has interviewed the top leaders of the world, witnessed countless ups and downs, dealing with big scenes has become accustomed to him, he can always rely on his calm atmosphere to control the scene, but at this moment, even if Mike is fully mentally prepared, it is still difficult to hide his shock.

Mike, who had walked through the wind and waves, quickly concealed his surprise and surprise, it was only a fleeting thing, he smiled and took the cardstock in Ed's hand, the warm humidity on the piece of paper made him feel the surge in Ed's heart, "I don't think you were exaggerating just now. ”

Although Mike had already concealed his feelings, he couldn't help but glance at the set of numbers on the card in his hand twice, even if he saw it with his own eyes, he still couldn't believe that such a light piece of paper carried the highest achievement in the North American music market in a hundred years. More than 668,000 copies were sold in a single day, which is a height that 60% of singers can't even reach in their lifetime, but "Stormy" only took one day.

The results of the Oasis band were expected, and Maria's results were excellent but not out of line, but they were glorious to death...... This is a myth.

"'Stormy,' I think, is the most appropriate word for this moment." Mike summed it up simply, the simplest words, but all the shock and magic are included. The three episodes of glory to death live up to their name.

Ed also let out a long breath, the burning heat in his heart was still surging, but it was no longer heavy and impossible to breathe, "As I said, we all thought that the number jù was wrong, but after many verifications, the number told us that this qiē was real. ”

"The numbers never lie, I think, we live in a moment where history was made." Mike said with a smile that he had regained his composure, put the last cardstock away, and turned his head to look at the camera lens, "Charles Dickens. dis) once wrote, 'It's the best of times, it's the worst of times; This is a time of faith, this is a time of doubt. I think that's the best way to sum up 1996. ”

Everyone knows the ultimate showdown, everyone knows that the sales on the 28th will create a miracle, everyone knows that there are no weak people in the troika, everyone knows that this showdown is bound to break the historical record, everyone knows that this is an important moment in writing history, everyone knows that the sales volume is bound to bring shock, everyone knows that the glory is like death in the sky...... But no one guessed such an outcome.

Maria's "Butterfly" sold 500,000 copies, and the Oasis Band's "Stay Now" exploded with 470,000 sales, which is already an irreproducible miracle in the history of North American music, but the "storm" of glory to death still turned this "miracle" into a "myth" and became the most brilliant and magnificent page in the long history!

In the morning sales showdown on the 28th, Maria took the lead with an absolutely strong attitude, and the average sales rate of 100,000 albums per hour is estimated to be a benchmark that can never be broken, while the Oasis Band and Glory to the Death are in a bitter battle, and the Oasis Band's unexpected good battle and the unexpected weakness of the Glory to the Death make the balance of victory and defeat unbalanced.

Everyone is speculating whether Oasis can replicate last year's miracle of reversing the Stained Band, winning the album battle after a fiasco in the battle for singles; Everyone is also speculating whether Maria will be able to wash away her shame, completely reverse the situation of repeated suppression in the face of glory to death, and relive the beautiful moment of "Sweet Day" on the singles chart.

But on the afternoon of the 28th, the situation changed abruptly, the young volcanoes who woke up from the rose bowl carnival, the young volcanoes who returned from the ticket offices of the major concerts, and the young volcanoes who learned from their friends that the "storm" hid countless surprises, swept the major record stores in the United States with an unstoppable momentum, and sounded the horn of counterattack in the lazy and brilliant sunshine of North America.

During the nine-hour business hours in the afternoon, the sales speed of "Butterfly" slowed down rapidly, although the sales of more than 200,000 yuan seemed to be the best in history, but compared with the madness of the morning, there was a decline; The sales performance of "stay at this moment" was basically the same as in the morning, but due to the elongation of the time line, the sales increase was difficult to match, and the slowdown was also very obvious; The "Storm" sold more than 400,000 copies, and the average hourly sales rate is still not comparable to Maria's miracle in the morning, but the frenzy of the young volcano can still be seen.

In the end, "Tempest" sold 668,659 copies in a single day, and this set of numbers will go down in history with the name of glory to death, becoming an eternal glory in the annals of North American music history, which no one can surpass. Not only did the album reach the gold record in one day, but it is also likely to set a new record for the fastest platinum album in Zào's history.

The shock of the sales record of "Butterfly" is great, and the waves created by the sales number of "Storm" are so turbulent. Although the sales of "Storm" are "only" 160,000 more than "Butterfly", it seems that the gap is not too big, but many albums do not necessarily sell 160,000 in a week, not to mention that this is the difference between the sales of two albums in one day. In one afternoon, the "Storm" not only made up for the gap in the morning, but also exceeded 160,000, which was enough to make everyone speechless.

The Oasis band made history; Maria broke the history of the band Oasis and wrote her own history; Glory to death destroyed Maria's history and imprinted their history. Sixty-six thousand six hundred and fifty-nine, this set of numbers will become the most shocking group of numbers in the North American music market in the next ten or even twenty years.

Glory to death trampled the two competitors under their feet with absolute strength, so that they didn't even have time to resist The idea came out, and they were directly snuffed out in the cradle. Such a disparity in sales figures, there is no comparison at all, and the absolute strength of the table makes the "historical achievements" of the two competitors the most wonderful, powerful and saddest foil, and it shows more and more the incredibleness of the achievement of glory to death.

From 470,000 to 500,000, and then to 660,000, a small step of glory to death is a big step for the giants of the entire history, making the "ultimate showdown" truly the most glorious moment before the turn of the century.

Stormy and rainy, just like the title of the album of glory to death, this album set off the craziest, fiercest and most ferocious storm in North America in a hundred years of history, turning the entire North American continent upside down, destroying everyone's brain in a devastating manner - the so-called experience, the so-called theory, the so-called thought, etc., are not counted, and no reference can be used to predict today's results, not even Michael Jackson's "shudder".

What's even more terrifying is that this storm has just begun.

This reminds people of the duel more than a month ago, when it is strong, it is strong, and the troika of the battle of the century is like this, under the stimulation of the collision of each other's strengths, they burst out with unprecedented energy, and they have handed over their own best and created the answer sheet of history, so that the entire music market is changing, so lively. And Glory to Death is even more under the persecution of the opponent, bursting out of infinite potential, completely releasing the energy of the young volcano.

It's a battle where there are no losers, whether it's Oasis, Maria, or Glory to Death, they all make their own history. In the head-to-head duel, no one was crushed, but handed in the perfect answer sheet to make the battle of the century climb to the top. This duel is wonderful, and it is the three parties who work together to break out, which contributes to the battle of the century.

But just because there are no losers doesn't mean there aren't winners. It is precisely because of the wonder of the battle of the century that the victory of glory to death seems all the more incredible. However, everyone is well aware that this is only the first day, and the final showdown has just begun!

What follows is the continuation of the strong in the glory to death, along the lines of the "young volcano" (young. voloes)" once again bagged the victory; Or did the young volcano run out of explosive power on the first day, giving Maria and Oasis a chance to overtake and emerge victorious in the first week's sales?

The sweetest laugh is the last laugh, this is the iron law
