Chapter 1630 is wonderful
72_72291 originated in the North American market of the century of the war, but in the land of the United Kingdom erupted infinite energy, compared to the glory to death and Maria in the North American market showdown, obviously the British competition is much fiercer, more rare is that the result of the British market is likely to become the key area that determines the victory or defeat in the world.
As time progressed, the eyes of the world were converging on the United Kingdom.
After Monday's boom, Tuesday belonged to the Oasis band, and Wednesday ushered in the explosion of both Glory to Death and Maria, and the British market was completely boiling. On Thursday, the noisy scene took the breath of countless people, and it truly ushered in the pinnacle battle of the battle of the century!
Not to be outdone, the fans of the band Oasis want to regain the initiative and show an incomparably strong glory to the death, the fans want to continue the glory, and the follow-up Mariah Carey fans want to win in the chaos...... Everyone, all of them, erupted on this day.
Until 20 years later, Chris Martin appeared on the global stage as the lead singer of Coldplay, he has seen countless big scenes and become the new representative of British rock, but he still remembers that day vividly:
It was September 26, 1996, a normal Thursday. Early in the morning, countless young people in major cities took to the streets, hundreds of meters of long queues lined up in front of HMV stores, and teenagers with pimples on their faces used their pocket money to buy a Glory to Death or Oasis or Mariah Carey to support their idols, and the grand scene of thousands of empty alleys even exceeded the opening match of the Battle of the Century on September 23, and almost the entire country fell into a frenzy, which was perhaps the most lively scene since England's World Cup victory in 1966.
With his eyes closed, Chris could still feel the scorching heat in the air; Out-of-control screams and noisy chattering surrounded him on all sides; The blood in the body began to boil, and the indescribable excitement and excitement rushed through the body. At that time, he didn't understand what this kind of love was all about, and he couldn't explain it. It wasn't until years later that Chris understood: because on that day, he realized that he was one of the milestones in history, and he was standing on the scene of a historical moment.
It's like...... Just like Woodstock, every participant has left an eternal imprint on the soul of each participant.
In that year, Honor to Death and Oasis were some of the most high-profile rivals around the world, as were Manchester United and Arsenal in the Premier League, Real Madrid and Barcelona in La Liga, and the former Soviet Union and the United States during the Cold War. It was a short but vigorous day in the history of world music, which shook the music scene for the next two decades.
“d。 o。 g,d。 o。 g! Oasis, Oasis! Maria, Maria! d。 o。 G, Oasis! d。 o。 g,d。 o。 g,d。 o。 g...... "The incessant shouting echoes in my mind like an echo of the hollow, as if it were a moment preserved in a vacuum, forever preserved in the depths of my soul, and every time, as long as I close my eyes, the surging shout will echo in my ears," d. o。 g,d。 o。 g……”
Chris seemed to have lost his mind - no, he did lose his mind - and roared hoarsely, using every muscle and cell of his body to convey the surging of his heart, and that bright and wanton smile was forever fixed in the long queue at the door of the HMV flagship store on Oxford Street on September 26, 1996, and also became the www.biquge.info of Coldplay's dream to begin.
430,000 sheets!
With a daily sales of 430,000 copies, the British Isles erupted with endless energy on September 26. voloes)" got the world's first single-day gold record sales, leaving the media in all corners of the world in an uproar.
People had imagined that the Battle of the Century would erupt with such terrifying energy, but they didn't expect that it would be the fourth day after the start of the war to usher in the real *, and after such a strong sales in the first three days, the fourth day would be able to set a new sales record since the release of the zào single - and it was a full step up from 300,000 to 400,000, even if it is described as shocking, it is impossible to accurately express the shock in people's hearts at this time.
The young volcanoes in Britain really detonated the volcano with their own practical actions, and ignited one spark after another, igniting every corner of the land of the British Empire.
What's even more terrifying is that it's not just glory to death that completes the outbreak!
Oasis' "Do You Know What I Mean" sold 360,000 on this day, far exceeding the number of singles on the first day of release, and became the best-selling homegrown single in a single week since the 90s – if not to death, then Oasis is indeed rewriting the history of British music.
No one can ignore the premise of Oasis Band's 360,000 sales, the first three days have ushered in a strong outbreak, and the quality of "Do You Know What I Mean" is far less than that of "Young Volcano", and the argument of "relying on word-of-mouth to drive sales" is completely untenable, not to mention that this single is not worth mentioning compared to the excellence and success of Oasis' first two albums. This shows that the fourth day of release still ushered in 360,000 sales, which was completely completed by the popularity of the Oasis band itself.
This is the current prestige of Oasis in the UK.
The explosion of Glory to Death and Oasis completely reduced the glory of the American market to a supporting role, and the main battlefield of the battle of the century instantly shifted to the United Kingdom. People expected the confrontation between these two rock bands, but they didn't expect that under the premise that the Oasis band had already played beyond the norm at home, the glory of the away battle to death created history with a stronger attitude, and no one could predict the direction of this matchup.
If it is just like this, then the success of the battle of the century is bound to weaken a lot, and Maria, as the iron triangle, is not to be outdone, "Sweetheart" really burst out all the energy on this day, and won 310,000 sales in one go! That's 310,000! While the number of jù is not comparable to the glory to death, the gap with the Oasis is not very obvious, which proves once again that Maria is now a diva, and her global influence is comparable to that of Whitney Houston.
Maria swept away the gloom of the first three days, proved her popularity and strength with a single-day sales of 310,000, and fought back against people's complaints about Maria, regaining Maria's competitiveness in the British market, which also made the fierce Cheng dù of the battle of the century go to a new level.
The fierce course of the British theater of war was far beyond people's imagination, "430,000 vs 360,000 vs 310,000", so the results of the first day of the Battle of the Century in the United States pushed this lively duel to a new level, and almost all the media were shocked: When did the British market have such a strong appeal? When did Glory to Death have such a huge fan base in the UK again?
Everyone knows the fact that the United States, Japan and the United Kingdom are the three most important music markets in the world, but among them, the United States is the leader; Although Japan is very reluctant to foreign music, the sales ability of local musicians is not inferior to that of the United States, and many times, in the global sales competition, the United States and Japan can be regarded as Ssangyong to grab the pearl, and the United Kingdom can be firmly in third place, but it is rare to really join the top competition.
Even the pinnacle rock bands such as the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, and Queen were able to have such a strong global influence more because they were sought after in the United States than because they received much recognition in the United Kingdom.
In addition to the first-day sales, in the following days, the sales of British singles continued to soar, and its instant explosiveness made people clearly see the huge enthusiasm hidden in the bones of this land that is crazy because of rock and roll.
In fact, people only know one thing but do not know the other, if we talk about the average level and overall strength, then Britain is naturally inferior to the United States and Japan; But if you talk about instant explosiveness, there is still the best level in history, then the UK does have the strength to compete with Japan, especially the sales of singles.
It wasn't until this year that the first single to sell more than half a million in a single week in the US market - that is, this week, but the UK has already sold more than 1 million singles in the double digits.
As of September 1996, the number one singles weekly sales chart in the UK music market was the 1984 single "Do They Know It's Christmas?" they。 know。 it’s。 Christmas)", the single was written by Midge. ure) and Bob Gildorf (Bob. geldof) led the recording, and invited dozens of celebrities to form a band. AIDS, a charity song written for the Ethiopian famine of 1983-1985.
Released on Christmas Eve in 1984, the single sold nearly 2 million copies in a single week and eventually sold 3.7 million copies, making it not only the best-selling single in British music history to date, but also the top-selling single worldwide.
In addition to this, Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" (Bohemian. rhapsody", Paul McCartney's single "Drunk Cold Night" (Mull) by the wings band, which formed after the breakup of the Beatles. of。 kintyre", "You're what I want" from the movie "Grease". the。 ohat。 i。 want)", Boney. m) sung the disco dance "Babylon (rivers. of。 Babylon)", the Beatles' "She loves you (she. loves。 You)" and so on, all of which achieved more than a million sales in the first week of release.
It can be said that Britain has also shown its glory in the past, and its explosive power in a short period of time is not inferior to that of Japan. Judging from the current form, after the War of the Century rewrote the history of the United States, it also set off a storm in the British market, and the next step is to rewrite the history of Britain!
