On September 23rd, almost all over the world, regardless of time zone, country, race, or gender, are watching this battle of the century! If the sweep of thousands of troops on "Independence Day" shows domineering, its own posture of constantly breaking records is jaw-dropping and shocking; Then this battle of the century brings countless suspense, and the excitement and excitement caused by these suspense.
People are curious about where the final box office of "Independence Day" can be located, but now that all the suspense has been revealed, the only thing people need to know is the myth of when "Independence Day" will create a box office of 500 million in North America; Relatively speaking, this battle of the century has just begun, and it is impossible to predict the outcome at all, which makes everyone's curiosity completely explode.
Almost everyone is no exception, and there is a heated discussion about who will win the first round of the battle of the century.
The Oasis Band has made a big splash in the UK, and it has been full of good news; Mariah Carey, on the other hand, has garnered the majority of support on the East Coast, with her Excellency standing out; Glory to death is unrivaled on the West Coast, leading the way by a sweep.
This is a three-legged war, just like the most perfect result that people expect: the three collide strongly, but no one is left behind, on the contrary, it also stimulates the endless courage and energy of the entire market, completely detonating the frenzy of the music market, between the three you chase me, the victory or defeat is completely between the millimeters, and no one can judge the winner until the last moment.
This also makes the whole battle of the century full of countless suspense, Fox TV station opened a special program to report, rolling columns for the first time to update the information of the battle of the century, this move has been warmly sought after by countless audiences, the average number of viewers reached 4.3 million, the peak of the number of viewers even reached 6 million, so that the entire music market and TV stations are in an uproar.
The suspenseful battle of the century attracted the attention of more than 1,000 media outlets around the world, all of whom were closely watching the development of the competition, looking forward to the final result - looking forward to the final victory of the singers they supported, looking forward to the final moment of glory - and looking forward to a new history in the music market.
Before the sun set on September 23, the world's top record stores such as HMV Records, Taoer Records, and Viking Records have announced that their branches in London, Los Angeles, New York, Tokyo, Chicago and other cities have set their own sales records, and the chain effect caused by the battle of the century has gradually emerged, and the sales of major record stores have not only hit a new single-day high, but many of them have sold in just one day to heights that could not be reached in the previous week!
Thanks to the fact that many of the big downtown record stores were overwhelmed by the crowds, and many small, remote record stores also saw a sales spree, and even some small towns with only one record store sold thousands of singles in a single day - which is almost equivalent to their sales in a month, the global record market is booming.
It doesn't take long for the day to be over, and it's clear that the battle of the century has already set countless records, and that the trio of Glory to Death, Oasis and Maria have joined forces to lead the global music market to prosperity and open a new chapter in this magnificent new chapter.
Due to the time difference, Australia and New Zealand, which were the first to enter September 24, announced the results of the first day of the battle for the first time, and in this land of Oceania, where the music market is not prosperous, Maria was the first to win the first place!
The female singer, who has gradually risen to the top of the world's dolphin diva, has made a bold new attempt in the first single of the new album, "Sweetheart", finding a beautiful mix of rhythm and blues and hip-hop music, with a first-class melodic that is very recognizable, and Maria's familiar interpretation has received good feedback.
In Australia and New Zealand, where Maria's popularity and popularity are significantly higher than those of the two rock bands who never arrived on this land, it is a logical thing to triumph here. However, due to the weakness of the music market, Maria did not have a big advantage, selling more than 34,000 copies in a single day, only a few thousand copies ahead of the two competitors.
However, the Japanese market immediately after the announcement of the results gave Maria a renewed boost in confidence, because in this land, she has been enthusiastically followed like never before, and the explosive Japanese music market has made the song "Sweetheart" earn 330,000 sales on the first day, not only breaking the record held by Whitney Houston for single sales in Japan by a foreign artist, but also far ahead of the two rivals.
Glory to death "young volcano" (young. voloes)" sold 220,000 copies in Japan, and although the results are still good - this is the fourth highest single-day sales record for foreign singers in Japan, but it is still a long way from Maria; Oasis' "You Know What I Mean" sold 190,000 units, and it was still an excellent result in vertical comparison, ranking among the top 10 foreign singers in Japan, but lagging behind its two competitors in horizontal comparison.
Japan is currently the second largest music market in the world after the United States, and its market potential and explosiveness far exceed that of the United Kingdom. However, the real strength of the Japanese music market lies in the support of local singers, and although foreign singers have a good record here, they are not worth mentioning compared to local singers.
Even so, Maria's ability to capture the Japanese market is still a hearty victory!
Maria highlighted her huge appeal in the Asian and Oceania regions, which is also a direct reflection of the current global market with pop, rhythm and blues as the mainstream, although rock is vigorous in the United Kingdom and the United States, but compared to the madness that swept the world in the sixties, the current rock is far from having such a strong influence, and is non-mainstream alternative music in most regions.
From the East Coast to the West Coast, from the remote and desolate Arkansas to the Nevada, from the thriving North Dakota to the canyon-ridden Arizona, the flames of the War of the Century burned to every corner, making everyone deeply feel the great impetus of movies and music for people's spiritual life.
Even people who don't care about music will ridicule or ridicule the last two sentences, indicating that they have no interest in the battle of the century at all. But it turns out that they have also become part of the battle of the century!
At 8 a.m. on the 24th, the Recording Industry Association of America announced the final results of the first day of the Battle of the Century, and ABC's "Good Morning America," NBC's "Today," and Fox TV's "Good Day Live" all broadcast the results of the Battle of the Century for the first time -- and of course, countless radio stations across the United States also broadcast the results to people on their way to work.
"Glory unto death!"
"Glory unto death!"
"Glory unto death!"
Almost everyone is shouting the name, because this is the winner of the first round of the "Battle of the Century" on September 23, 1996!
In an instant, the name of Glory to Death sounded in countless cities across the United States, from TV stations to radio stations, from hosts to listeners, from bustling city centers to remote towns, a "Glory to Death" sounded chaotically, gathering into a shout, just like the momentum led by the "Young Volcano" when it first created the scene, showing an unparalleled strong appeal, shaking the entire North American continent, and strongly announcing the victory of glory to death. This trend of glory to death has been continuously continued.
In this battle of the century, the main battlefield of North America finally declared the victory with glory to death, ending the first day of the battle!
This is an unexpected but logical result, and although Glory to Death has not released an album for more than two years and has not had any activity for nearly a year and a half, it is still the most high-profile rock band on the entire North American continent. In the second half of last year, a song "apologize" suppressed Maria for eight weeks, leaving the diva singer so stunned that she couldn't even say the words to complain.
At that time, "Apology" was already the fourth single of the album "Bathing in the Morning Light", and Maria's "Fantasy" was the first single of the new album, and Maria was still suppressed to the point that she had nothing to say; And now, in the first round of singles, although people unexpectedly lost to Maria again at the hands of Glory to the Death, but if you think about it, it is reasonable.
The most terrifying thing is that Glory to Death sold 430,000 sales in one day in a devastating manner!
Four hundred and thirty thousand, what does that mean? This means that in North America, where singles sell more than one million and are expected to enter the top 20 at the end of the year, it only took one day for Glory to Death to burst out with energy infinitely close to gold records! This means that Glory to Death easily broke a lot of historical records, you must know that last year's "Wonderwall" created a zĂ o miracle, the first week sales were only 230,000, and now "Young Volcano" only took one day to achieve such a result! This means that the War of the Century has exploded with unprecedented energy in North America, giving new life to the music market!
Is this scene familiar? It is indeed somewhat familiar, reminiscent of "Independence Day", which was released on Independence Day
