Chapter 1626: The First Battle

72_72291The North American land in the fourth week of September is extremely lively, on the one hand, people are looking forward to the miracle of the "Independence Day" box office exceeding 500 million; On the one hand, people are closely watching each day of the battle of the century, and it has almost become a day of carnival for the people of the United States, even more exciting than the summer vacation. The media has ushered in the busiest period in the last five years!

Authoritative such as the "New York Times" and "Los Angeles Times", shrewd such as the "Chicago Tribune" and "San Francisco Chronicle", cunning such as "New York Post", "USA Today...... Every day, the sales figures of the Recording Industry Association of America are announced, and this battle of the century is refined into a daily competition, so that this week-long absolute evolution has evolved into a seven-day battle against each other, and little by little the heat wave of the battle of the century will be pushed to the peak!

On Monday, after a Glory to the Death victory, on Tuesday the flames of war were lit in all corners of North American soil.

In the course of a day, Mariah Kelly's fans exploded in North America, threatening to sweep away the shadow of Monday's failure, with a large number of fans rushing to buy the single "Sweetheart" in major cities, and Sony Columbia Records also stepped up its efforts to make a comeback - the first day of glory to death opened such a big gap, which is definitely not good news for them - so much so that more than 80 radio stations in the United States bombarded the propaganda on this day, and the DJs of major radio stations recommended it" The song "Sweetheart" has made a qualitative leap in the spread coverage area of the single.

They also made great efforts to achieve a comeback, as well as the Oasis band, their fans were menacing, and on this day they broke out with terrifying combat effectiveness, and even launched a fan gathering to listen to singles in 17 major cities such as New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Seattle, Houston, and Washington, mobilizing nearly 30,000 people before and after, which became the biggest topic of the day and occupied the newspaper pages of countless media.

Comparatively speaking, the glory to death that completed the sales explosion on the first day is a bit low-key, although the band still launched a busy radio promotion, and EMI records also contacted major media outlets to release a public relations draft, hyping up Monday's epic victory, but compared to the two competitors who did their best to burst energy, glory to death was undoubtedly stealing the limelight.

The Recording Industry Association of America then announced the sales figures for September 24, and the results were absolutely "reasonable but unexpected", Maria swept 140,000 sales on this day, which was already the second day of the single's release - and it was after the 300,000 sales on the first day, even words like "appalling" could not describe the turmoil in people's hearts at this moment, and finally Maria won the single-day sales championship on Tuesday under the cover of fans. In addition to raising her eyebrows, she also once again proved her status after the first day in the United States.

Although no one will forget the great cause of "apologizing" and "fantasizing", no one will forget the glory of "sweet day" breaking the historical record of 16 consecutive weeks.

Maria swept away the gloom of the first day's collapse and appeared on major programs to talk about the single "Sweetheart" and the hardships and hardships behind the transformation of the new album, officially declaring war on glory to the death: who will be the final champion of Billboard this week is not yet known!

In the face of Maria's phenomenal sales on the day after the release of the single, the glory to death "Young Volcano" (young. Voloes) only achieved 90,000 sales.

In fact, this number of sales is already incredible behind the 430,000 on the first day, and "Young Volcano" has broken the historical record to become the fastest single to sell 500,000 copies in the world, and the speed is incredible. However, in comparison with the single-day sales of 100,000 at the time of "Sweetheart", it still seems inferior after all.

But here's the interesting part, although the next-day publicity of Glory to Death was tepid, and almost all of the conversation was focused on Maria and the Oasis, but Glory to Death still dominated the runner-up spot in Tuesday's single-day sales. And the mighty Oasis Band is still in third place.

Although Oasis fans made a big move, Oasis fans were unable to compete with the two competitors due to the North American away game, and only sold 50,000 on Tuesday - which is an incredible result if it were placed at any other time of the year, because at a time when the number of weekly number one singles generally hovering around 100,000 in a single week, 50,000 sales in a single day is almost a counter-heaven number. It can also be seen that the speed of Oasis's expansion in North America is very terrifying, and the album "Bathing in the Morning Light" was released without the momentum of Oasis at this time - but the results were much inferior to the two competitors.

It's a battle of the century! The reason why all the sales exploded with such a huge energy was because of the endless sparks from the collision of the three parties, but it was clear that there was a life-and-death struggle between Maria and Glory to the death, but the Oasis Band was still a little short of breath after all.

Tuesday's final single-day sales seats were, Maria, Glory to Death, and Oasis.

Although the Oasis band were at the bottom of the table for two consecutive days, it was a miracle that they were able to achieve such success in the North American market, and it was indeed the most spectacular victory in the last three decades since the Beatles. Therefore, people will look forward to the Oasis band's achievements in the UK, and the British pop music charts are the decisive weight for the Oasis band's dominance.

However, the competition in the North American market continues continuously, and the fans of the three parties of the Battle of the Century are already competing at this time, and the posture of each other is losing control little by little, although they will not roll up their sleeves and release a large-scale brawl, but the momentum of holding their breath and wanting to compete is reflected in the sensation and shock of the single sales market.

Unprecedentedly, the North American singles sales market has exploded beyond the record market.

On Wednesday, Glory to Death rebounded strongly and regained the single-day sales champion, with Maria and Oasis in second and third place, respectively; On Thursday, Glory to the Death swept through the ranks to win the championship for the first time in the battle of the century, with Maria narrowly relegated to second place, and Oasis was hit but still not left behind.

On Friday, the glory to death was like a bamboo, and the single-day sales were three consecutive championships! The Oasis Band completed a counterattack on this day, and the sales ushered in the biggest explosion after the release of the single, surpassing Maria and occupying the runner-up in single-day sales.

It seems that things are going according to the script that David Geffen had predicted: after Glory to Death gained the upper hand, he was in a state of power that no other competitor could match. But here's what's interesting, Maria and the Oasis band didn't fall all the way, they still showed unparalleled competitiveness, biting this duel to the death, not letting the suspense disappear early, and what's more, the Oasis band also completed an incredible counterattack in the North American market.

So what's next? Will Maria's fans have another outburst over the weekend? Do the supporters of Oasis still have the energy to face the weekend's showdown? Have the young volcanoes who died of glory have reached their limits?

At such a critical moment, the Recording Industry Association of America announced that the weekend sales figures would not be announced, and would be announced on Monday along with the final Billboard charts.

With an uproar, the whole of North America became a sensation, apparently complaining about such an appetizing move by the Recording Industry Association of America, and even the major TV programs began to ridicule one after another: The Recording Industry Association is angry!

But it is undeniable that this move by the Recording Industry Association of America is wise, because while preserving the suspense, it also gradually pushes the battle of the century to the boiling point, and throughout the weekend, there is a sense of tension in the air, as if there is a possibility of a complete outburst of control at any time, so that every ordinary person has become a participant in this prosperous era.

September 30th, it's a Monday, not just the last day of September, but also the moment when Billboard announces the week's lists. Under the watchful eye of the public, Billboard revealed the final results of the first battle of the Battle of the Century!

The Billboard singles chart leader in the fourth week of September belongs to ...... Glory unto death!

The indie band, who are back with a new single after two years, not only brought the new metal rock into the limelight, but also turned the entire North American market upside down! Following the album that amazed countless people two years ago, Glory to Death announced its triumphant return with the song "Young Volcano", which pushed the expectations of the band's three albums to the peak overnight.

"Young Volcano" became the sixth number one single from Glory to Death, and was also the band's follow-up to "Beautiful. day)" after the second single to reach the airborne champion throne, which also made Glory to Death surpass Michael Jackson and Mariah Carey, becoming the singer with the most airborne champion singles in North American music history.

But that's not the most successful part of Glory to Death, what's even more terrifying is that "Young Volcano" swept 1.07 million sales this week, which is the first single in North American history to exceed 1 million sales in a single week!

At present, in the entire North American music market, the yardstick for measuring the sales of a single is 1 million, and the number of singles that can reach this height in a year generally does not exceed 30. That's the current state of the North American music market – albums are selling far ahead of singles.

But the "Young Volcano" managed to sell millions of dollars in just one week, which is not only a terrible number, but also an almost unsurpassable number, even if it is glorious to death. With such a terrible momentum, the landing of "Normandy" was completed with glory to death!
