On October 28, in the North American music market, "Stay Here" sold 470,000, "Butterfly" won 500,000, and "Storm" swept 660,000. Together, Audio-Technica has pushed the grand showdown to the pinnacle and the music market frenzy since September to a whole new extreme, but everyone knows that this is only the beginning, and it will be the sales of these three albums that will determine their place in history.

Is it a continuation of strength? Or is it exhaustion and plunge? Or is it a steady, mediocre trend? No one can predict what will happen next. In fact, the reason why the troika was able to make this ultimate showdown the focus of global attention is because the popularity, discussion, and topic degree between the three are among the best, and no one can be sure that they will win, so after Monday's strong outbreak, no side in the Iron Triangle is left behind!

The following Tuesday and Wednesday still continued the pomp and circumstance of Monday, especially after the closure of many major record stores on Monday, those fans who were not even able to enter the record store reluctantly chose to stay in the record store and waited all night, which made the North American continent still permeated with a frenzy on Tuesday.

"Stormy" once again handed over a phenomenal report card on Tuesday, selling more than 494,000 copies in a single day, which is not only a myth, but can be called an anti-heaven myth, even if the whole United States watched the shocking "Monday" for "60 minutes" the night before, and saw the brilliant report card of Tuesday, it was inevitable that my jaw would fall.

It is even more amazing to say that compared with the sales of 660,000 on the first day, "Storm" was able to achieve sales of 490,000 again on the next day, which is even more amazing. Because multiple factors such as decline, impact, total number of followers, and market capacity must be taken into account.

However, the next day of "Stormy" can almost be said to have broken all the inertia patterns, and the results were not only better than the first-day sales of "Stay Here", but also comparable to the first-day sales of "Butterfly", which cannot be described even with the most gorgeous and exaggerated rhetoric. Only the numbers—iron-clad, cold, non-lying—convey the shock.

Backed by two consecutive days of indisputably strong performance, "Torrent" became the only album in the history of North American music - selling more than a million in just two days! The sales volume in two days was 1.16 million, and it was easy to get the platinum certification!

"Storm" has not only become the second album in North American music history to sell more than one million in a single week after the "Bodyguard" movie soundtrack, but also has surpassed the original record of 1.06 million, becoming the highest single-week selling album in history in one fell swoop. It took seven days for the soundtrack of the "Bodyguard" movie to break the million threshold, and "Storm" only took two days, and it also improved the record by a large margin.

Such a momentum is appalling.

No one has been able to break this achievement ever since, even in the distant future of 20 or 50 years from now, and even those who can approach this achievement do not exist at all, just like Michael Jackson's "shuddering" sales of more than 100 million, which will forever be sealed in the annals of history and become "that legendary miracle".

Because this is a result that requires the right time, place, and people. "Storm" appeared in the right place at the right time, and achieved the most incredible results with the right attitude. Never reproducible. The so-called "times create heroes", this is probably the case.

"Butterfly" in the midst of the applause, but also showed the power of Maria's diva, on Tuesday strong snatching more than 431,000 sales, the small drop caused an exclamation, even better than the "Storm" watch Xiàn, with the surprise of the entire market follow-up explosive force tightly biting the leader, although the gap was further widened, but did its best not to be left behind.

"Butterfly" accumulated 930,000 sales in two days, which is also a historical record that no one has been able to surpass since then. It's like a "storm", even if they themselves can't overcome the peak, because it will be difficult for them to create a second battle of the century, and it will be difficult for them to usher in a second ultimate showdown.

The most incredible thing is that the Oasis Band's "stay in the moment" actually grabbed 400,000 sales on Tuesday, although the decline was slightly higher than Maria's, but the strong momentum made it impossible for anyone to ignore their savings. In every matchup in the North American market, the Oasis band playing away from home is obviously the underdog, but in fact, regardless of the two rivals, the Oasis band is setting a new record every time, and no one can deny the fact that they are now in full swing.

Of course, as the critics said, the overall quality of "Stay Now" has fallen far behind, and the influence of the third album of the rock band has not yet played a role at this time, and it is necessary to wait for the further expansion of the spread of the album, and the real impact is the future of the Oasis band. However, at least at this time, thanks to the excellence of the first two albums, fans have voted a vote of confidence in the Oasis band, so "Stay Here" still shows that he will not admit defeat.

"Stay Here" exploded with 870,000 copies sold in two days, a number that went down in history forever with the ultimate showdown and the troika, not only setting a new height that the Beatles could not achieve, but also truly reviving British rock led by Oasis around the world. For a long time to come, British rock will always be an important part of rock and roll, and it will continue to flourish.

Judging from Tuesday's single-day sales, Audio-Technica is still unyielding, and the sales battle is getting hotter and hotter, but the interesting thing is that although the "Storm" table is still strong, the momentum of "Butterfly" and "Stay at the moment" is definitely not weak, and the single-day sales gap between the three has been sharply narrowed, and at the same time, it is above the level of 400,000 sales in a single day, colliding with an unparalleled spark.

This also makes the ensuing Wednesday sales battle full of suspense.

Other times the buzz of the music market is measured in weeks, but obviously not for the ultimate showdown, which must be watched every day, and new situations appear almost every day, changing with each passing day, full of excitement and at the same time full of anticipation. Now, almost everyone is looking forward to the fact that if Maria or Oasis can overturn glory to death, then the excitement of this ultimate showdown will skyrocket!

Sure enough, Wednesday's sales market showed a change that stunned everyone.

In the limited market resources, the "storm" broke out in the first two days of the energy against the sky, and after entering the third day, there was a sharp decline, "only" handed over 200,000 sales. Of course, such sales are still an incomparably outstanding result for any album, and it is still enough to compete with the weekly sales of "Bathing in the Morning Light", and it is normal for such a huge decline to occur - the North American music market is not a bottomless pit, and even the weekly sales of the "Bodyguard" soundtrack are only 1.06 million, and "Storm" is already an exaggeration. But compared with the madness of the previous two days, even if today's decline is expected, it still exceeds people's expectations, and no matter how good the longitudinal comparison of the results of "200,000" is, it is difficult to hide people's disappointment after continuous surprises.

Similarly, the two albums "Butterfly" and "Stay Here" also saw huge drops of more than 45 percent, which was quite impressive, but because the numbers in the first two days were so crazy, the drop was completely expected. It can be said that Wednesday ushered in the first pullback after two consecutive days of outbreaks in the entire North American market.

However, the overwhelming publicity of Maria and the Oasis band finally worked, compared to the glory of staying in San Francisco to prepare for this week's weekend tour, Maria and the Oasis band are almost everywhere in the United States, and the propaganda war between the two sides covers every corner of the media, from television to radio, from newspapers to magazines, from civilian supermarkets to slum convenience stores, the propaganda war between the two sides is everywhere, and they are not looking at each other. It's as if the ultimate showdown is not a troika, but a double dragon grabbing the pearl, taking advantage of the focus.

"Butterfly" relied on the home field advantage to grab 230,000 sales on Wednesday, which was exceptionally good, especially considering that this was still a single-day sale, and it was the third day of the album's release, and the results were so good that people were speechless; "Stay in the moment" did not back down, and the Oasis band's strategy of seizing the attention of fans was vividly brought into play, with 220,000 sales hitting the lowest drop on Wednesday, and truly declaring their sense of existence in this ultimate showdown with an extremely strong momentum.

In the end, Wednesday's single-day sales chart showed an extremely strange pattern: "Butterfly", "Stay Here", "Storm".

Glory to death was lost not only to Maria, but also to the Oasis band. Although this is only the victory or defeat of single-day sales, and the gap is too weak, in the total sales of three days, Glory to death still has a huge advantage, far ahead, but this is not only the victory or defeat of single-day sales, but also has a more profound meaning:

This is the first time that the Oasis Band has truly shown themselves strong enough in this battle of the century, proving that as representatives of the emerging rock forces, they are condensed in the future, and they are ahead of glory to death and follow the trend of the times; It also proves that they are qualified enough to be one of the troika, and they also have the ability to turn the tide and win.

Of course, the most important thing is that Maria finally raised her eyebrows and won the single-day sales championship on October 30, straightening her waist and proving her status as a diva. At the same time, "Butterfly" and "Stay Here" also carried such momentum, both bringing their sales beyond the million threshold, and the number of albums selling one million in a single week in North American music history increased from "one" to "four" in the blink of an eye.

The troika goes hand in hand, and the outcome of the ultimate showdown adds to the suspense, and all the qiē starts to get interesting.
