Climbing the Peak 957 is inseparable
"&
It's the same U.S. music market, it's the same Billboard charts, but the album charts and singles charts can't be generalized, and the shapes and opponents on the entire chart are completely different, and the singles chart is more like a hundred flowers.
In particular, the promotion of singles is not very concerned in the first place, which also makes richer and more diverse music can be recognized on the charts, and music genres with a wide base of the masses, such as pop and country, can often achieve better results on the singles charts.
If you have to sum up the Billboard singles chart in the second half of 1994 in one sentence, it is "the two heroes who are inseparable from the boy and boy group in Glory to Death".
Apparently, "Bathing in the Morning Light" won thirteen consecutive championships, and even Nirvana was not able to stop its strength, and "Good Day" (beautifu1. "I want to continue this strong momentum. But this is not an easy task, because the radio VOD of the single will occupy a more important position.
In the simplest example, the single "Waiting" was only a movie interlude, and it was not even officially released by a record company, but thanks to the popularity of sales and the explosive power of radio on-demand, it won the top spot for three consecutive weeks, which is absolutely impossible on the album charts, because without the support of the record company, it means that sales are difficult to competitive.
Similarly, the proportion of radio on-demand on the singles chart will occupy a larger proportion, and the strength of glory to death on the album will no longer be so strong when it is spread over the on-demand rate of ten singles, on the contrary, the boy boy band has benefited from a broad mass base and can occupy a greater advantage, especially since they are fully promoting the title song and concentrating their firepower. In such a comparison, the first excellent "bathing in the morning light" of the whole album fell behind.
In the fourth week of August, "Beautiful Day" landed as the winner, "I'll be with you" climbed to second place, and "Waiting" was third.
In the first week of September, the competition really entered the white heat, although "Good Day" relied on a strong reputation to break out 300,000 sales again, which is simply an incredible number jù, especially after the fierce number jù in the second week of "Bathing in the Morning Light", but the radio on-demand rate was comprehensively surpassed by "I will be warm with you", and even the on-demand rate of "waiting" is even better, and the overall disadvantage is very obvious
American radio has always been the world, and the fresh and melodious ballad of "Waiting" is widely loved, and the catchy "I will be warm with you" is also the first choice of listeners, but the ultra-difficult rock songs such as "Beautiful Day" are obviously greatly restricted.
In this case, the competition for the Billboard singles chart has become more intense.
Although the sales volume of "I will warm up with you" fell to 180,000 this week, which is only a little more than half of the "Good Day", it is further approaching the "Good Day" thanks to the absolute leading table in terms of on-demand rate. As a result, although "Good Day" won the championship for the second consecutive year, the gap between the two was narrowed, which was a wonderful situation, and "Waiting" stayed firmly in the third place, maintaining the top three from the previous week.
In the following week, the sales of "A Beautiful Day" also fell back quickly, after all, the album sales continued to be at a high-energy level, and the explosive power of the single was naturally relatively inferior. The singles of the 90s did not have digital singles, so the overall sales were not at the same level as the digital singles of the 21st century, and it was common for singles in the 21st century to sell four or five million, but in the 90s, singles that completely relied on physical sales, and the sales of singles that could cross the million threshold were already very good.
The sales of "Good Day" fell to the 200,000 level on Monday, although it got 220,000 sales, but the sales of "I will warm up with you" climbed up, and it got 190,000 sales in one fell swoop, and the sales gap between the two is within reach.
"I'll Warm Up with You" has a 500,000 on-demand rate on radio this week, with a total of more than 100,000 on-demand views, once again topping the list of all singles, and the strong momentum continues unabated, which can be seen from the wide audience base. But what is surprising is that after the precipitation and brewing in the previous two weeks, the reputation of the absolute classic song "Beautiful Day" has also begun to gradually climb.
The reason why "Beautiful Day" can be called a classic is not only because the lyrics are magnificent, but also because the balance between business and art is very good. In other words, it's a song that can be enjoyed by both the elegant and the vulgar. What's more, the content of this song is actually in line with most people's mentality, from the trivial things of daily life to sudden enlightenment, which is applicable to almost anyone, which also makes this song more resonant, so it is not surprising that with the advancement of time and the spread of word-of-mouth, the increase in radio on-demand rates is not surprising.
This week, the radio on-demand rate of "Beautiful Day" attracted a flashpoint, soaring to four percentage points, with more than 85,000 on-demand, almost double the previous week, not only surpassing "waiting", but also infinitely narrowing the gap with "I will be warm with you".
In such a situation, after careful statistics, in the end, "Good Day" narrowly defeated "I Will Warm Up with You", and achieved three consecutive championships by an extremely narrow margin, but in fact, the top three of this week's Billboard singles chart are still standing still, and "Waiting" is still stuck in the third position.
The triple crown of "Beautiful Day" should be expected, but many media still had an accident, not because the single was not worthy of this achievement, but because the rock and roll match, the winning rate is too low, not to mention that the radio on-demand rate of "I will be warm with you" also proves that this single is absolutely strong today. As a result, "Beautiful Day" still stubbornly completed three consecutive titles, which also proves that this single is indeed an absolute classic, as the critics say
However, from another point of view, the gap between "a good day" and "I will be warm with you" is getting closer and closer week by week, which is also a normal situation, as everyone thinks, although "a good day" is regarded as an absolute classic by countless music critics, but in the face of the huge audience base of "I will be warm with you", after all, it is still an obvious disadvantage.
As a result, everyone naturally began to wonder how long the "good day" could last? And when will the first victory of "I Will Be with You" arrive? How long can the tenacity of "waiting" last? The competition for the champion, runner-up and third place is inextricably linked, and it is much more exciting than the showdown at the top of the Billboard album charts.
Is "a good day" a classic? Not for the time being. Because the love of music critics has not been widely recognized by the public, the art of high and low music can be regarded as a masterpiece, but if there is no public willing to appreciate it, it is still not a classic.
While "Good Day" completed three consecutive championships, the cumulative sales have reached 850,000, although this result is very good, but compared to the power of "Bathing in the Morning Light" on the Billboard album chart, it is still two grades behind. And the eyeing "I will be warm with you" may turn the tables at any time, which also puts a huge question mark on whether "A Beautiful Day" can create a classic.
But it turns out that the reason why music critics think that "A Good Day" is a perfect balance between business and art is not empty words. The success of "Bathing in the Morning Light" on the album charts is also a reflection of the strong appeal of glory to death
With the increase in the on-demand rate of the "Beautiful Day" radio in the second week of September, it is not surprising that the sales and on-demand rates of the "Beautiful Day" in the third week of September have further increased.
"A Good Day" won 250,000 sales, and after completing a slight increase in sales figures, the radio on-demand rate came to a big jump, with a total of 110,000 on-demand this Monday, accounting for five percentage points of the radio on-demand rate, which is also the first time since the release of "A Beautiful Day" for four weeks that the radio on-demand rate of "I will be warm with you" has been tied.
This week, "I Will Warm Up with You" has a total of 115,000 on-demand, although it is a little more than "Good Day", but the share is the same as 5 percentage points, and the gap between the two has been further narrowed.
However, the sales of "I will warm up with you" are not as strong as "Good Day", and the sales wave of "Bathing in the Morning Light" still has a positive impact on the single, and "I Will Warm Up with You" only has 180,000 sales this week, although the decline is very weak, but compared to the climbing momentum of "Good Day", this is not good news.
So, when the third week of September ended, people found that the gap between "I will be warm with you" and "good day" has been widened, it turned out that the last week was the time when "I will be warm with you" was the closest to the championship, and missed the opportunity last week, and it seems to be becoming more and more difficult for "I will be warm with you" to win the championship for "I will be warm with you".
"Good Day" completed four consecutive championships, "I will be warm with you" completed four consecutive runners-up, and "waited" for four consecutive weeks of third place.
This situation has made countless media feel interested, and they have seen the strong singles that won the championship for a long time, but there are no three strong singles that have won the top three, which is really an interesting situation, and people can't help but start to discuss with great interest: Is it a "good day" that is the first to fall behind and fall from the championship? Or did someone in the top three fail to stand up to it first and was broken by other singles? Or is it that the Iron Triangle collapses together, and there is a new strong player who directly wins the championship and wins strongly? (To be continued (Dian Dian Chinese Paper) provides.)
