In the North American music market on October 28, "Stay Now" sold for 470,000, "Butterfly" sold 500,000, and "Butterfly" swept 660,000. The Audio-Technica worked together to push the grand finale to the pinnacle, and it also pushed the music market frenzy since September to a new extreme, but everyone knows that this is just the beginning. The next three albums Only sales can determine their respective positions in history.

Does it continue to be strong? Still plummeting after exhaustion? Or is the trend stable and mediocre? No one can predict the subsequent development trend. In fact, the reason why the troika has made this ultimate showdown the focus of global attention is that the popularity, discussion, and topic of the three are among the same, no one can be sure that they will win, so After the strong outbreak on Monday, no one side of the Audio-Technica is left behind!

The following Tuesdays and Wednesdays continued the grand occasion of Monday, especially after many major record stores closed on Monday, those fans who had not even been able to enter the record store reluctantly chose to stay in the record store. , Waiting all night long, this made the North American continent on Tuesday still permeated a kind of fanaticism.

"Blurry Rain" once again handed over its phenomenal transcript on Tuesday, and sold more than 494,000 copies in a single day. This is not just a myth, it can be called a heaven-defying myth, even if it is The United States only watched the shining "Monday" through "sixty minutes" the night before. Seeing the brilliant report card on Tuesday, I still broke my jaw inevitably.

It is even no exaggeration to say that compared with the sales volume of 660,000 on the first day, "Blurry Rain" was able to get another sales volume of 490,000 the next day, which is even more amazing. Because multiple factors such as decline, impact, total number of fans, and market capacity must be considered.

However, the next day's results of "Butterfly" almost broke all inertia patterns. The results were not only better than the first day sales of "Stay at this moment", but also not inferior to the first day sales of "Butterfly". This achievement cannot be described even in terms of no matter how gorgeous or exaggerated it is. Only numbers-iron-like, ruthless, and will not lie numbers, to convey this shock.

With the support of two consecutive days of undisputed absolute strong performance, "Blurry Rain" has become the only album in the history of North American music-sales exceeded one million in just two days! The sales volume of 1.16 million in two days is easy to get the platinum certification in the bag!

Not only did “Bodyguard” become the second album in North American music history that sold more than one million in a single week after the original soundtrack of the “Bodyguard” movie, it also surpassed the original record of 1.06 million, becoming a single in history in one fell swoop. The highest-selling album of the week. The soundtrack of the "Bodyguard" movie took a full seven days to break through the million threshold, and the "Bodyguard" only took two days, and it also raised the record by a large margin.

Such a momentum is appalling.

Since then, no one will be able to break this achievement, even in the distant future 20 or 50 years later, there is no one who can approach this achievement at all, just like Michael Jackson’s "Thriller" has a sales of more than 100 million, and it will always be dusted in the annals of history, becoming "the miracle in the legend."

Because this is a result that requires the right time, the right place and the people and the joint action. The "Blurry Rain" appeared at the exact place at the exact time and achieved the most incredible results with an accurate posture. It can never be copied. The so-called "time makes heroes", that's probably it.

"Butterfly" was amidst the applause, and also showed Maria’s power as a queen. On Tuesday, it strongly grabbed more than 431,000 copies of sales. The small drop caused a cry of exclamation. "The performance was even better, and the subsequent explosive force that astounded the entire market tightly bit the front runner. Although the gap was further widened, they tried their best to not be farther behind.

"Butterfly" accumulated sales of 930,000 in two days, which is also a historical record that no one can surpass later. Just like "storms and rains", even they themselves cannot surpass the peak, because it is difficult for them to create a second war of the century, and it is difficult for them to usher in the second ultimate showdown.

The most incredible thing is that Oasis’ “Stay Now” actually grabbed 400,000 sales on Tuesday. Although the decline was slightly higher than Maria’s, the strong staying power made it impossible for anyone to ignore their presence. In every duel in the North American market, the Oasis band in the away game is obviously at a disadvantage, but in fact, apart from the two competitors, the Oasis band is creating history and setting records every time. No one can Deny the fact that they are thriving now.

Of course, as the music critics said, the overall quality of "Stay in This Moment" has fallen far behind. The influence of the rock band's third album has not yet played a role at this time. We must wait for the spread of the album to expand. The real impact is Oasis. The future of the band. However, at least at this time, thanks to the excellent performance of the first two albums, fans have cast a vote of confidence in Oasis, so "Stay at this moment" still showed the stamina to never admit defeat.

"Stay at this moment" broke out 870,000 sales within two days. This data has also been eternally recorded in the annals of history following the ultimate showdown and the troika, not only creating a height that the Beatles can’t reach. It also really allowed the British rock and roll led by the Oasis band to pick up the momentum of recovery in the world. In the long course of time in the future, British rock will always be an important part of rock and roll, and it will last forever.

Judging from Tuesday’s single-day sales, Audio-Technica still has no compromises, and the sales dispute is getting more and more fierce, but what’s interesting is that although the performance of "Butterfly" and "Stay in the Moment" are still strong. The momentum is definitely not weak. 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. It collided with an unparalleled spark.

This also makes the following Wednesday's sales dispute full of suspense.

At other times, the excitement of the music market is calculated on a weekly basis, but it is obviously not suitable for the ultimate showdown. This must be paid attention to every day. Almost every day there will be new situations, changing with each passing day, full of excitement, and full of anticipation. Now, almost everyone is expecting that if Maria or Oasis can overturn the glory to death, then the excitement of this ultimate showdown will rise sharply!

Sure enough, there was a change in the sales market on Wednesday that surprised everyone.

In the limited market resources, the "hurricanes and rains" exploded with energy against the sky in the first two days. After entering the third day, there was a substantial drop, "only" handed over 200,000 sales. Of course, such sales are still extremely good results for any album, and they are still enough to compete with the weekly sales of "Bath in the Morning Light". Such a huge decline is a normal performance-the North American music market is not a bottomless pit, just Even the weekly sales volume of the "Bodyguard" soundtrack is only 1.06 million, and "Bodyguard" is already an exaggeration. However, compared with the craziness of the previous two days, even if the decline was expected, it still exceeded people's expectations. No matter how good the vertical comparison of "200,000" results is, it is difficult to conceal people's disappointment after continuous surprises.

Similarly, the two albums "Butterfly" and "Stay in the Moment" also ushered in a huge decline of more than 45%. Although the decline is considerable, the data in the first two days is really crazy, so Such a drop is completely expected. It can be said that Wednesday was the first decline that the entire North American market ushered in after two consecutive days of outbreak.

However, the overwhelming publicity of Maria and Oasis finally took effect. Compared with the glory of staying in San Francisco to prepare for the weekend concert tour this week, Maria and the Oasis are almost everywhere in the United States. , The propaganda war between the two sides has covered every corner of the media, from TV to radio, from newspapers to magazines, from civilian supermarkets to slum convenience stores, and their propaganda wars are everywhere. It's so lively, as if the ultimate match is not a troika, but Ssangyong grabbing the ball, occupying the focus advantage.

Relying on its home court advantage, "Butterfly" grabbed 230,000 sales on Wednesday. It performed exceptionally well, especially considering that this is still a single day sales, and it is the third day of the album's release. I was speechless; "Stay at this moment" did not give in. The Oasis band's strategy of grabbing the fans' attention was fully demonstrated. The sales volume of 220,000 created the lowest drop on Wednesday, which was truly announced with an extremely powerful momentum. My sense of existence in this ultimate showdown.

In the end, Wednesday's single-day sales rankings showed a very strange pattern: "butterfly", "stay in this moment", "storm and rain".

Glory to Death not only lost to Maria, but also lost to Oasis. Although this is only the victory of a single day's sales, and the gap is too weak, in the three-day total sales, Glory to Death still has a huge advantage and is far ahead, but it is not just a single-day sales victory. Negative has a deeper meaning:

This is the first time that Oasis has truly shown strong enough in this war of the century, proving that as a representative of emerging rock and roll forces, they embodies the future, they are ahead of glory to death, and conform to the times. It also proved that they have enough qualifications to become one of the troikas, and also have the ability to reverse the decline and win victory.

Of course, the most important thing is that Maria finally exaggerated and won the one-day sales championship on October 30th, standing up to prove her queen status. At the same time, "Butterfly" and "Stay at this moment" also carried such a momentum. Both brought their sales above the million threshold. In the history of North American music, albums that sold millions in a single week increased from "one" in an instant. It's the "fourth".

The troika went hand in hand, the final matchup increased the suspense, and everything started to become interesting.
