"This past weekend, the city of San Francisco had its biggest frenzy in a century and a half after the 'Gold Rush,' with more than 600,000 people from all over the country pouring into the San Francisco Peninsula to put the Golden Gate and Bay Bridge through the toughest test since they opened. You know, the total resident population of the San Francisco metropolitan area is only 530,000......"

"On November 1, 1996, San Francisco ushered in the bay city's first-ever 'Mardi Gras' – a carnival of glory to death. The Glory to Death rock band has made an indelible mark on the city of San Francisco in its own way, and in just one weekend, the frenzy can be felt in every corner of the city. Some people say it's because of the power of the Troika of Ultimate Showdown, but I think it's a moment of history that belongs to glory to death......"

“…… Everyone thought that the first four days of the past week would be enough to go down in history, and after countless historical records, it completely changed the world's perception of the American music market, including the Americans themselves, and burst out with endless energy, but it is clear that this historical change continues. In just three days, it once again changed the record set in the previous four days, making this week a unique ...... in history."

“…… The flooded streets made this past Halloween weekend extremely lively, which was obviously bad news for the 'Four Brothers', which was released last week, as all the audiences poured into the record store and completely occupied the streets, not to mention that almost everyone was focused on this ultimate showdown, and even those who wanted to get into the cinema became extremely difficult, and interestingly, the film was a ...... starring Brad Pitt."

“…… We should not be surprised that Hugo Lancaster personally appeared at the premiere of 'Romeo and Juliet' at the San Francisco cinema on the afternoon of November 1, because everyone knows that the film's two main actors - Leonardo DiCaprio and Charlize Theron - are Hugo's closest friends. This is obviously good news for Romeo and Julia. When the few remaining audiences choose to go to the cinema, their first choice is unquestionable......"

"The ultimate showdown has brought so many surprises, Monday's brilliance, Tuesday's outburst, Wednesday's comeback, Thursday's reversal...... Almost every day, we feel the shock of this history-changing showdown. However, it is clear that history is called history because we cannot predict its trajectory, and only time will prove its strength and grandeur. In the past weekend - Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, the smoke of the final showdown has filled the whole United States, and even erupted with energy comparable to Monday......"

“…… Even though we expected the weekend to be a time of exploding sales, the weekend that just ended still blew up in each of our brains. Until now, the dense scenes and noisy images of the crowded streets on weekends are still surging in my mind. ”

…… Not only San Francisco, but on the morning of November 4th, Monday, around half past eight, more than 1,500 radio morning programs across the United States were broadcasting similar, even identical, content, and almost every host was exclaiming, not that they were the same, but that in the face of the glory of the ultimate showdown, any language became incomparably small, except for amazement, or amazement!

People suddenly find that they always contradict what they have said before.

When the troika erupted with earth-shattering energy on October 28, everyone thought it was an unrepeatable Monday; But then, Tuesday's super stamina once again made everyone speechless, and the "unrepeatable Monday" was truly replicated, and people could only be surprised that "such brilliance has consumed all the energy of the entire music market"; But when it comes to weekends...... Everyone who makes a bold prediction will find that reality has slapped them in the face, because the three-day outbreak of the weekend even exceeded the so-called "unrepeatable" Monday, pushing the true meaning of this ultimate showdown to unsurpassed heights.

Therefore, even if they are radio hosts, even if they are lobbyists with lotus tongues, it is difficult for them to find the most suitable words to express their inner shock at this time. Perhaps, the most simple language is the most convincing: because the truth is often the most powerful.

Accompanied by David Reeves's words, at this moment, all the listeners who were listening to the radio became nervous, and the uncontrollable sense of depression came to their faces in an instant, making their breathing become rapid and compact, and even the palms holding the steering wheel were soaked with sweat, making people at a loss.

Not to mention the audience, even the backstreet boy sitting in the live broadcast room, as well as David himself, felt so nervous that he couldn't breathe, and the sound of his heart hitting his chest became so clear at this moment, ridiculous and funny, "Believe me, my hands are shaking at the moment, because my heart is beating so hard that my whole body is trembling slightly, and I finally know Ed Simpson's mood now." ”

David's ridicule made countless people in front of the radio chuckle, and Ed's nervousness and excitement spread through the live broadcast of "Sixty Minutes" on Monday night, and it has since become a joke. Almost everyone was laughing at Ed's nervousness, and as the press spokesperson of the Recording Industry Association of America, he actually had stage fright and became everyone's after-dinner conversation. Ed is very open to this, and he admits that "in the face of historical moments, I can't control my feelings." Now, David is also feeling Ed's feelings.

"Wow, wow, God, what the hell ......" David's out-of-control voice made the members of the Backstreet Boys in the live broadcast room exclaim, "What's wrong, what's wrong?" Not only them, but many of the people who were driving to work at this time were frightened and shouted, "What's wrong? What's wrong? ”

David hurriedly closed his mouth tightly, which avoided the disaster of his direct foul words, but he still stared at the card in his hand with wide eyes and disbelief, and his hands trembled violently. It's hard to believe how exaggerated it is that David, who has worked in the radio station for nearly ten years, lost his temper and even caused the accident of the live broadcast, even if people have huge expectations for the outcome of the ultimate showdown, they still can't suppress the curiosity and excitement surging in their hearts.

Immediately, David realized that he was now in the live broadcast, and he had no way to carry out the show with his mouth closed, so he quickly cleared his throat, "I'm sorry, I lost my temper just now." Compared to Ed, my watch is so bad that I think you can start mimicking my gaffe tomorrow. ”

is worthy of being a veteran of the show, although he is still a little flustered, David still basically controlled the situation, and eased the atmosphere in a ridiculous way, "I thought of the time to announce the results......" In fact, David was a little hesitant, because he didn't know in what order to announce the answer first, but after just a short thought, David said straight - he didn't have much room to think during the live broadcast, "In the fifth week of October, Mariah Carey, Oasis and Death to Glory released a new album at the same time, and the top showdown was launched, but the result was not a complete collapse, and the troika showed unparalleled competitiveness and delivered perfect results. However, this is a duel after all, and one side will win in the end, so the winner is ......"

David paused, "Oasis Band? ”

As soon as this voice came out, countless fans of the band Oasis all over the United States began to cheer, but then they heard David's slightly raised tail note, and they realized that this was not the announcement of the results, but just David was creating suspense. But the love has been released, and it is not easy to calm down, they can only clench their fists tightly, looking forward to the final result.

Luckily, David didn't keep them waiting too long, "Oasis' album 'Stay Now' sold a total of one million million this Monday. ”

After the answer was announced, everyone was stunned, stunned by the number "1,830,000", because it was just too incredible. It is hard to imagine that in the nineties, when the British rock wave led by the Beatles was completely declining, the Oasis Band actually created a new peak of British rock - a level that the Beatles, Queen, and Rolling Stones were not able to achieve.

At this moment, everyone's brains have stopped working, and they can't even think about whether the achievement of "1.83 million" is enough to surpass the two albums "Butterfly" and "Storm", and whether it is enough to dominate the North American music market in the fifth week of October.

David's gaffe just now is insignificant at this moment, and even the most senior professionals are difficult to maintain a normal heart when they see such results. Just as "Independence Day" awakened people's confidence in the potential of the North American film market, the brilliance and strength of the final showdown gave people a clear understanding of the potential of the North American music market, which is great news for the entire music industry.

At this moment, everyone discarded prejudices and differences, and applauded the value of the Zào created by the ultimate showdown, even if the Oasis Band had a bad record, even if it was provocative, even if it was controversial, but the brilliant achievement of "staying in the moment" still left a strong mark on the long history of music, even if the shackles of the three albums became their last glory - but at least they once reached the pinnacle of no one before and since, which is enough to remember for a lifetime.

"Stay in the moment" has achieved far beyond expectations, even beyond imagination, but what about "butterflies" and "storms"?
