The first day's sales-and even the first week's sales competition are topic heat, popularity, fan support, and sales explosion. Everyone knows this fact. Because professional music critics and fan feedback need a period of precipitation and fermentation before they can gradually take effect. These comments and opinions determine the durability of sales; and the sales on the first day and the first week require explosive power.

This is also the reason why Maria and the Oasis band had so much publicity on the first day. Both Sony Columbia Records and Creative Records knew that what they sold in the first week was a momentum. They may not be able to compete with the brilliant glory to death in terms of absolute strength, but Relying on Maria and Oasis’ own support rate, they can still seize the commanding heights.

The reason why the War of the Century has become the "War of the Century", the greatest duel before entering the 21st century, is because Maria, Oasis, and Glory To Death’s current careers are in full swing, with similar fan support and high popularity. The discussion enthusiasm goes hand in hand. Therefore, on the first day and the first week of the sales showdown, everyone in the troika has the qualifications and ability to win, and no one is weak.

The sales data on the morning of the 28th also proved this point. Maria won the top spot, and Glory to Death was in a tough battle with the Oasis.

The first batch of music critics by professional media praised the "hurricanes and rains" of glory to death, but even the "first batch of music critics" really affect the market trend and affect the choices of music fans, it still takes time to settle. Therefore, the sales dispute on the afternoon of the 28th is still full of countless suspense.

However, it is worth mentioning that the noon sun on the 28th has not had time to rise above the head. The secrets of the album "Hurricane and Showers" have spread among the turbulent fans. One is the album's "b". "Mian" was full of surprises. Although only a small number of people got the exact news, the news that the b-side chose to record in the outdoor studio was spread among reporters and caused an uproar; the second is that there was an uproar at the end of the album. I was particularly pleasantly surprised, but unfortunately the news about the "hidden tracks" was still strict, and no news was leaked, but it aroused more curiosity.

EMI’s new album press conference is actually a last resort. On the one hand, they are indeed planning to use concert tours instead of publicity schedules, because they believe in the glorious live performance of the concert; on the other hand, it’s because of the concert market. The hot reaction made them slightly underprepared. As a result, before the press conference of Glory to Death in San Francisco was held, the news about "hurricanes and rains" had already exploded.

The mysterious atmosphere surrounding the album "Blurry Rain" not only did not disappear with the release of the album, but on the contrary, it has become more and more intense. This "third album" with countless focuses was originally expected, and now The secret is revealed bit by bit, and it makes the fans feel unbearable. They can’t wait to buy the album early, and can open this Pandora’s box as soon as possible to see for themselves what will be given after two years of glory to death. Kind of works.

The San Francisco Chronicle’s comment on the morning of the 28th is right: the album of "Blurry Rain" is available for purchase at any time, but the tickets for the "Blurry Rain" world tour concert can be missed if you miss it. Yes.

Although on the 28th, only San Francisco, Portland, and Seattle started selling concert tickets; however, enthusiastic fans appeared in major cities and asked EMI Records and the live country to sell concert tickets in advance. Meeting tickets. There was a posture of not giving up to the goal-in fact, they also achieved the goal. In the end, the country quickly agreed to the fans' request, and the tickets on sale were sold out in just a few hours.

Therefore, the young volcanoes who gathered at the entrance of the major record shops after the tickets were snapped up quickly added fire to the bustling scene of the city. This also made the sales frenzy in the afternoon set off an unparalleled heat wave, even far exceeding the madness in the morning, making this Monday at work become very lively, even the white-collar workers sitting in the office have no way to relax.

Even the major financial and securities elites on Wall Street couldn't help but open their mouths when they saw the exaggerated long queue on the street outside the window. They couldn't believe that a small "one album" would actually cause such a scene-the so-called " For them, the "ultimate showdown" cannot be compared with a transaction of tens of millions of dollars per second. It can only be regarded as a child's house-but now it seems that the commercial value and economic benefits of the entertainment industry far exceed Imagine that they were also a little shocked, and they also had a rare gossip discussion when they met in the pantry.

After twelve o’clock in the afternoon, the craze continued until nine o’clock in the middle of the night. The major record shops closed one after another, and they were selling wildly for nine hours. However, the turbulent queue at the door still did not get any relief, and there were still many. People still haven't been able to buy their favorite albums the first time.

According to incomplete statistics, more than 1.23 million people lined up at the door of the record store within three hours in the morning. Not only did this set of data not decrease in the afternoon, on the contrary, there was an upward trend, including the floating crowd. Within nine hours in the afternoon, as many as 1.8 million people in the ten largest cities in the United States joined the long queue at the scene.

Fox Television once again produced live news programs all-weather. They conducted a sample survey on the spot. They interviewed more than 300 fans in major cities. The results showed that young volcanoes live in major cities such as New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Houston. The ratio is more than 40%, and Maria and Oasis’ fans are about the same. Some cities have more Maria and some cities have more Oasis.

Obviously, as expected by the San Francisco Chronicle, young volcanoes are catching up from behind. However, the question is: can they enter the record store and buy the albums they support today?

Looking at the winding waiting line outside the door, some record shop owners even wondered if they could just open overnight. But in the end, the plan was too rushed and worried that problems would occur in the middle of the night, and they still could not be implemented. The record shop still They closed their doors and ceased business. As a result, many late-arriving fans stayed at the door of the record shop, preparing to stay here all night, and when the door opened the next day, they would enter the store for panic buying as soon as possible.

This is the real ultimate showdown. Even the first battle of the War of the Century is far less powerful. The heaviness and weight of the album has been vividly demonstrated, and the fierce competition between the Audio-Technica has reached unprecedented heights. Such a grand occasion is not only unique in music history, it is foreseeable that it may not be seen in the future music market.

The Recording Industry Association of America rushed to work that night and began to count the data of major record shops. The "Morning Sales Record" announced at noon actually triggered such a shocking effect. I have personally felt the huge influence of this ultimate showdown, and now it is about to Announced all-day sales on October 28th-the first stage of the ultimate showdown. The staff of the Recording Industry Association of America began to get excited.

Ed Simpson (ed.) was a little nervous at this time. The envelope he was holding was trembling slightly, revealing his inner excitement and excitement. He is a media spokesperson for the Recording Industry Association of America, facing the media completely. It can be said that he does not need to be nervous at all in his daily life, but at this moment, he is actually nervous.

Because Ed knows the weight of the envelope in his hand, this is the moment to change history. He and everyone in the world are witnessing this miraculous moment and witnessing the creation of music history with their own eyes. Now, Ed has finally realized the nervousness of the award-giving guests at the Oscars ceremony, not because they are not experienced enough, but because they know what the envelope in their hands really means.

"Let's have it, Ed Simpson!" The voice of the host Mike Wallace (.) came, and then there was not loud but neat applause. Ed could feel all the eyes in an instant. They all concentrated towards themselves, not only did this not relax him, but the muscles all over his body became more and more tense.

This is the live broadcast of "Sixty Minutes (60.. "Sixty minutes" produced and broadcasted by cbs TV station can be said without exaggeration. It is the most important program in the United States. It is not only the longest broadcast program in the history of American TV prime files, but also 20 consecutive programs. It ranked among the top ten in ratings for two years, and even became the highest-rated TV program in the United States five times. It has always been the prime time with the highest broadcast rate in the United States, and it is also one of the most Emmy-winning programs.

As a news program, the height reached by "Sixty Minutes" is absolutely unprecedented.

In fact 60 minutes" is a program led by a group of elderly people. The average age of the production team is generally between 35 and 45. Therefore, they have had quite a wealth of news before entering the column. They are all excellent journalists with professional experience, otherwise they will not be able to do the work of this column. This is already a tradition of "sixty minutes".

Therefore, there is no doubt that news events that can be reported in "sixty minutes" are definitely not trivial - and they are topics that have attracted the attention of the American middle class and young adults.

The "Sixty Minutes" program is divided into three parts, and each part is a story, which is interviewed by reporters and tells the whole story in series. Occasionally, "Sixty Minutes" will also report on major entertainment events, such as Grammys, Oscars and other events have also appeared, but not any turbulence in the entertainment industry can enter the "sixty minutes" concept-this is prime time. , Not the morning news.

Previously, the War of the Century had not received the attention of "Sixty Minutes", but this time it was different. The sensation of the final showdown was far beyond imagination. On the 28th alone, more than two hundred people in the United States were mobilized. This fact of tens of thousands of people is enough to shock the "sixty minutes".

Therefore, they invited Ed to be a special guest for the second story of the show tonight.
