On October 28th, ten major cities in the United States mobilized more than one million people to besiege the record store. Time can buy the album of his idol-Glory to Death or Oasis or Mariah Carey. This is a set of real data, not an exaggeration or estimation: in fact, according to incomplete statistics, the four major cities, including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Houston, are on this day from 9 to 12 in the morning. During this period, a total of 1.23 million people were mobilized!

This is only one morning on the 28th. This is only the situation in ten major cities in the United States. This is just the tip of the iceberg in the world. But just in this way, you can see what the ultimate showdown is triggered. The knock-on effect.

To make a data comparison, on September 23, the opening day of the first battle of the War of the Century, the "Iron Triangle" jointly contributed 1.09 million sales in the North American music market, breaking countless historical records, and a huge momentum. Unveiled the matchup that lasted for a month since then.

Today, in just one morning, the top ten cities have already mobilized 1.23 million people. Even if everyone only buys one album, it is obvious that such a grand occasion has far exceeded September 23. day. Everyone thought that the first battle was a sensation enough, but the final battle was again jaw-dropping!

In the face of such a frenzy of the ultimate battle, even the Recording Industry Association of America came out to join in the fun, and announced the sales statistics for the three hours from 9 am to 12 am at 1 pm. This is undoubtedly unprecedented. Because in the age when computer networking has not yet formed, the sales feedback information in many remote areas is not too timely, and the official statistics of the Recording Industry Association of America will inevitably be delayed. Therefore, at this time, the Recording Industry Association focuses more on weekly sales statistics. . But this time, even the Recording Industry Association cannot be an exception to join this global carnival.

"From 9 am to 12 am on October 28th, the sales statistics of record shops in 31 cities across the United States ended. The market estimated that a total of 730,000 copies were sold. Among them, Glory To Death, Maria -The albums of Kelly and Oasis accounted for 98% of sales. This not only created a new record of sales speed in the history of North American music, but also created a new record of sales per minute, and also created a global scale A new record of sales. The specific statistical data will be further counted and confirmed, and we will announce the results as soon as possible."

The Recording Industry Association of America released this official report through major TV stations and major radio stations, which shocked everyone: no one can be an exception!

Let’s first make a vertical comparison of a set of data. At present, the highest record holder of a single weekly album sales record for North American music is the soundtrack of the movie "Bodyguard" released by Whitney Houston in 1993. This album swept 1.06 million in a week. The sales volume is proud of the crowd. In fact, this is the only album in the North American music market that has sold more than one million in a single week as of 1996.

The Pearl Sauce "due" is also generally considered to be an album that sold more than one million in the first week, but the Recording Industry Association of America did not give certification later, because the "over one million in the first week" included pre-sale sales, but in actual statistics , Regrettably, sales in the first week did not pass the million threshold. However, the popularity of pearl sauce in the United States is still extremely strong, and the sales volume of the "Duel" has also reached tens of millions.

If you expand the scope of the entire history to 2014, which Hugo is familiar with, there will be a total of 18 albums that sold more than one million in a single week in North America. Most of them are concentrated between 1998 and 2002, among which are the highest in history. It’s the "No Reward (... released by Super Boy in 2000. This album sold 2.41 million copies within a week, not only creating a new history, but also the only one in the history of North American music. Some albums have sold over two million in a single week.

Let’s make a horizontal comparison of data. Not long ago, the battle for singles of the War of the Century was created like a smashing bamboo. The "Young Volcano (. achieved 430,000 sales in a single day, shocking North America, and the troika contributed hand in hand. The single-day sales of 1.090 million have also been considered by countless experts, "This is a record that cannot be broken in 20 years!"

In short, in the North American music market, whether it is an album or a single, a single day sales of more than 100,000 are already rare, and a single day sales of more than 150,000 are rare.

Now, the final showdown has only started for three hours, and the Audio-Technica has exploded nearly 720,000 sales! what does this mean? Even if it is divided into three equal parts, each singer has gained 240,000 sales. This is not a "single-day" sales, but a "half-day" sales!

How can the North American market not be a sensation, how can it not boil, how can it not explode!

After the data came out, the hotlines of the major radio stations were quickly blown up, and the most inquired among them was not the sales issue, but "we heard it right?" The listeners who came to verify the accurate numbers made the major radio stations rushed, almost over Eighty percent of the listeners thought that their signal was wrong, and the numbers on the radio were wrong.

But there is nothing wrong with this. The Recording Industry Association of America itself was shocked to the point. After checking the sales data in major regions three times before and after, the final conclusion was that the data did not contain any errors.

bought nearly 720,000 copies in three hours! This is the power of the ultimate battle. It just kicked off on the 28th, and it has refreshed history with an unstoppable attitude. The troika has set a benchmark that is almost insurmountable, even for those who have no interest in music. People couldn't help but cast their sights over, even those who knew nothing about music were vaguely aware that this was a duel between unprecedented and unknown people.

The shock is still not over. Among the approximately 720,000 copies, what is the Iron Triangle's single performance? Who has the upper hand? Is it glory to death to continue to be strong, or Maria to turn over strongly, or Oasis to reverse the disadvantage... …The ultimate duel, the ultimate duel, in the final analysis, is still a duel. Compared with the record-breaking number of "seventy-two", people are more curious about who broke the record and who made the history-more importantly, Who is taking the lead in this stunning showdown that has been a whole century!

The Recording Industry Association of America knows this clearly. In fact, they are more curious than anyone, because they know more clearly what all this means: they are witnessing the birth of history! Therefore, the Recording Industry Association of America announced the three-hour leader in the morning at the first time, which is surprisingly--

Mariah Carey!

The album "Butterfly" sold 300,000 copies in three hours. It not only broke the record of sales speed in North American music history without any suspense, but also became the first album in history to sell an average of ten per hour. Million albums. Three hundred thousand! A full 300,000 sheets! And this is only a "half-day" sales, so even "horrible" results cannot describe the inner shock.

The sales speed of "Butterfly" was the highest on the morning of October 28, and it became Maria's first transcript after she reached the top of the queen's throne, and consolidated her title of queen with an absolutely eye-catching posture. Even in terms of sales volume, Maria finally caught up with her lifetime rival-Whitney Houston. From performance to popularity to word of mouth, she is on par with Whitney. It can be said that under the stimulation of the ultimate showdown, this album burst out with amazing energy, making Maria's career truly reach its peak.

more importantly! Maria created this achievement by overpowering Glory to Death and the Oasis Band. Although it was only a short-term advantage of three hours, no one would ignore the excellence of this achievement, and no one would forget the first place in the Battle of the Century more than a month ago. During the war, the battle between the dragons and the tigers, and Glory to Death reached the summit on the shoulders of two competitors. Now, Maria has also copied this miracle, the results are even better, more brilliant and even more incredible!

Sony Columbia Records can hardly wait. After the Recording Industry Association of America released the data, it created a huge momentum in the Chicago propaganda scene. Maria, who was on the stage for publicity, appeared on the stage. The big screen behind the stage showed the number "300,000", a long string of dazzling zeros, which made the whole scene boil, and there was a "five" on the desktop. Maria picked up a small hammer and personally smashed the ice sculpture of 100,000", expressing her vision to break through the shackles of 500,000.

The news of the press conference was transmitted to all corners of the United States via radio waves in just 30 minutes, and "Windy City" Chicago caused a frenzy because of Maria's arrival.

The lead in the morning made Maria exhale. Even the tiredness of the long journey and tireless trips could not stop her good mood. The bright smile made the undulating skyline of Chicago blurred. Maria was even on the scene with the audience for an unprecedented time. Shake hands and take a picture together-this is absolutely impossible in Maria's press conference This shows Maria's joy.

Maria took a temporary lead on the morning of the 28th. This was an unexpected but reasonable result. Unexpectedly, it was because the glory was so powerful that it was almost impossible to challenge, whether it was the destruction of the "young volcano" or the world. In the ticketing frenzy of the tour, Maria was even more defeated in the face of glory to death; logically because Maria is a popular queen in the United States, the popular music style is almost irreversible than the rock music style, not to mention Sony Columbia. The overwhelming propaganda offensive of the record is full of confidence.

Even if it is only a temporary lead, it also means that Maria has seized the opportunity to win. This time, it is obviously Maria that landed in Normandy.

If Maria’s lead is reasonable, then the Oasis Band and Glory to Death’s sales battle are in a bitter battle, and everyone is shocked. Oasis’ "Stay at the Moment" won less than 210,000 sales. , Glory to the death of "Blurry Rain" won the sales volume of more than 210,000, and the sales gap between the two was only less than 3,000, which vividly explained the difference between the two.

This is definitely a situation that no one had expected. Could it be said that... the glory of not carrying out any publicity to death is really a trip to overconfidence-that is, arrogance -?
