72_72291As one of the most important music markets in the world, Britain has shown unparalleled weight and strength in this battle of the century, especially the glory to death and the sales explosion of the Oasis band, which is close to the incredible historical record of "Do they know it's Christmas", clearly showing people the craze for rock and roll in this land, and Britain has a more boiling rock blood and a deeper rock soul than any corner of the world.

Even twenty years later, when rock 'n' roll has been relegated to the periphery of the world, the British still show their rock'n'roll wit and humour in every detail of life. "Shaun the zombie. of。 the。 dead)", "Pirate Radio (the. boat。 that。 rocked)", "Killers don't have holidays (in. Bruges)", "Seven Neuropathies (Seven. psychopaths)" and countless other movies, all of which show the rock spirit that has never disappeared in their bones.

This time too, all Britons pinned their hopes for a rock 'n' roll resurgence on the Battle of the Century—on Glory to Death and the Oasis, and the horrific spectacle remained forever on the land, slowly sinking deep into the heart of the earth and flowing slowly through the air.

Following Thursday's full-scale outbreak in the British Isles, Friday's craze has dropped a bit, but the afterglow is still shaking every corner of the land, and the sales of the Battle of the Century Iron Triangle have fallen in different ways, and the Oasis Band regained the single-day sales champion by a narrow margin, while Glory to Death is in second place by a slight margin, although Maria is still in third place, but the disadvantage is not obvious.

The battle of the century continues to erupt in an unstoppable manner!

Following the example of the U.S. market, after entering the weekend, "New Music Express" also temporarily did not announce the single-day sales list, keeping the suspense of this week's list to the end, which also made the whole weekend boiling, the British media from top to bottom were all very lively, and even the salesmen of the record store became the subjects of interviews, people only hope to get clues from these salesmen, to judge where this magnificent battle of the century will eventually go.

On September 30, following the US market, the British pop music charts were also officially announced under the watchful eye, unlike the billboard, this chart only refers to the number of sales, without the participation of any other factors, the competition is absolute hard power, which also makes the announcement of the British pop music charts full of excitement and excitement.

One million 830,000 sheets!

This was the number one single on the British pop charts in the fourth week of September 1996, compared to Billboard's number one track this week, "Young. voloes)" sold 1.07 million times, a 70 percent increase in sales, and the two are no longer on the same level at all, surpassing not only the United States, but also Japan, becoming the sales champion of all the charts in the world this week.

It's a miracle, an incredible miracle, a miracle that truly embodies the madness of the Battle of the Century, and the creator of this miracle is ...... Glory unto death!

The single "Young Volcano" sold 1.83 million copies in the UK with a devastating effect, which is not only the number one seller worldwide this week, but also the highest-selling single in the world since the 90s! And this achievement came from a rock single, which undoubtedly pushed the momentum of rock 'n' roll resurgence since Nirvana to the peak.

Although it is said that the number of weekly sales of "Young Volcano" was not able to surpass "Do they know it's Christmas?" It's only the runner-up in the weekly sales of a single in British music history, but it's unimaginable for glory to death, just look at the names behind the "young volcano": Queen, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones......

This is a moment that will go down in history. In a trance, people resounded the slogan of the "Times" two months ago, when Hugo arrived in England with the "Independence Day" crew to carry out propaganda: Hugo Lancaster invades Britain.

Now, this phrase has become a reality, an irreversible reality.

Relying on the strong support of British fans, "Young Volcano" exploded with amazing energy under the unfavorable conditions of playing away, and even eclipsed the American market, winning with an absolute advantage, firmly holding the final victory of the battle of the century in his hands.

Although the number one of the British pop charts this week was bagged to death, Oasis Band's table xiàn is still no slouch, with "You Know What I Mean" selling 1.67 million copies, clearly showing the support of the land, and it is also the best single by homegrown singer Xiàn in the last fifteen years.

Back in 1978, at the end of the seventies, there were still many miracles, but since then, the British music market has been in a slump and has been languishing. Although British rock and roll led by Goatskin, Stone Rose, and Smith in the late 80s had a strong revival, it was not able to bring about a Nirvana-style explosion until the emergence of Stain and Oasis - which is the fundamental reason why the "British Rock Battle" between these two bands attracted so much attention last year.

Now, following last year's victory over the Stained Band, Oasis has built on their efforts to not only be the protagonists of the battle of the century, but also to change the decadence and slump of the British music market for almost half a year. After bursting out with all his energy, he finally lost to Glory to death, which is a pity, but Hugo, who is in full swing, now seems to be invincible, and the glory to death represented by Hugo is precisely what is shown is the future of rock and roll. Therefore, there is no shame in losing to glory to death.

Relatively speaking, Maria's appeal in the British market was slightly inferior after all, although she struggled to catch up in the second half of the week, but her explosiveness and durability could not compete with two strong opponents, and finally "Sweetheart" won 1.23 million sales in the UK.

What is certain is that Maria is still making history in the UK, relying on the unparalleled appeal of the battle of the century, so that "Sweetheart" exploded into sky-high sales, becoming one of the few in the history of music with a single week sales of more than one million. But it is also certain that pop and rhythm and blues are still not mainstream in the UK, and the soul of rock and folk has always flowed in the blood of the British.

This is also the biggest difference between the United Kingdom and the United States, or rather, the biggest difference between Europe and the United States.

When Wall Street, with the core idea of gold yuanism, profit first, and business first, eroded movies and music little by little, the United States chose to embrace it with an open mind, and Hollywood's commercial prosperity became more and more developed, gradually becoming the center of the center on a global scale, but behind the commercial brilliance, there was a lack of art, and when it entered the second decade of the 21st century, both film and music encountered a huge bottleneck - with the increase in sales and box office, followed by the gradual decline in quality.

Although after the 21st century, the European film and music market has lagged far behind the United States, which makes the creation of art extremely difficult, even if the three major European film festivals have to start to compromise with Hollywood, but in their bones, they have always adhered to the persistence of art, which has also made European films and music always maintain high quality - but it is also high and low.

This is not a criticism, nor is it a comparison, nor is there any superiority or inferiority, which is the inevitable result of culture and history. But in any case, this time the Battle of the Century was a huge success on a global scale.

The U.S. market ended in a glorious victory, with Maria and the Oasis Band coming in second and third, respectively; The British market also saw glory to death, with Oasis and Maria not far behind. But in the Japanese market and the Oceania market, Mariah Carey has an unparalleled advantage, maintaining her advantage to the end with a sweeping posture, and forming a balance with Glory to Death on a global scale, while the rock force represented by Glory to Death and Oasis, although it has achieved good results in Oceania, has not been able to write brilliant in Japan.

Finally, the first battle of the Battle of the Century in the fourth week of September officially came to an end.

"Young Volcano" swept the top of the singles charts in 28 countries and regions around the world in a week, and finally won 3.89 million sales, King's Landing is unstoppable!

In second place is the "diva" Maria, although the United States has an advantage, but the British fiasco has squandered almost all the advantages, people originally thought that Maria would lag behind the Oasis band in the global market, but in the end, relying on the absolute advantage of the Japanese market, Maria's single "Sweetheart" still swept the global market sales of 3.22 million, successfully occupied the top position in this battle of the century.

"You know what I mean" is hanging the tail of the car, but for other singles, it is still a high-flying flower. Oasis' single unfortunately didn't sell more than 3 million worldwide, but the 2.84 million sales figure is still the best result achieved by a British singer since 1978 – a true recreation of the Beatles' glory.

The battle of the century, as everyone expected, ended in glory; But it is beyond everyone's expectations, with the best and most sensational results in the past 15 years to shake the global music market, the appeal of the Iron Triangle is not only their own energy, but also the development trend and direction of the future music market.
