This is almost the true portrayal of the final matchup in the fifth week of October. One historical record after another is like a paper, and it is refreshed like a bamboo. With the unreachable sky moats being realized one by one, the shock is like waves, uninterrupted.

The three albums "Butterfly", "Butterfly" and "Stay in the Moment" collided with dazzling sparks, illuminating the music market all over the world and creating a historical moment with no one before, even after twenty years. People looked back on October 28th, 1996 and the whole week after that, they were still amazed.

I sighed that the splendor of the music market is gone, sighed that the potential of the music market is like a shooting star, and has never seen it again since it once shined infinitely, sighed that the top singers of the golden age are in a wonderful match, sighed Looking at the wonderful time when the world can be changed with music, I sigh that the worst and best time has been left in the long river of history forever...

Corresponding to the album, the three groups of singers also simultaneously released the second single of their respective albums. No one will forget how much energy this war of the century erupted a month ago. The three singles "Young Volcano(., "Sweetheart" and "Do you know what I mean" have joined hands to create a new history. One month later, the entire North American music market is still turbulent.

Now, the second single hits again, and it is accompanied by the powerful momentum of the ultimate showdown, opening up another battlefield, making people once again feel the **** war of the troika bayonet.

It’s no accident that the second single of the album "Blurry Rain" chose "Navigation (. This song has been enthusiastically sought after by countless music critics, and the "New Yorker" even commented on this song as 90 The number one of the greatest single since the decade, surpassed countless classics.

In the comments, the "New Yorker" believes that "Only on theoretical knowledge such as arrangement and technology, it is clear that'navigation' is not the pinnacle of rock and roll, or even the best work that glorifies himself to death; on lyrics, emotions, etc. Connotation of knowledge, "Navigation" is still not a unique work, even the Oasis band has a better performance.

However, the reason why this song can be named'great' is because we can feel the resonance of this song: every musical note, every lyrics, even every punctuation mark, contains vicissitudes, majesty, Stubborn, brave, and passionate emotions, under the interpretation of Hugo-Lancaster, vividly show the journey of glory to death; in a deeper way, the ups and downs of rock and roll in half a century , Rise and fall, glory and disgrace are fully displayed. Close your eyes and listen carefully, and the seeds of rock and roll faith begin to break free from the shackles of the hard rocks and the vast land, and shoot out tenaciously little by little.

So magnificent and magnificent, making the soul tremble. "

Although this is just a statement from the "New Yorker", it is undeniable that "Navigation" has caused an uproar and extensive discussion among music critics and audiences, especially the audience who participated in the Glory to Death Tour. Feeling the courage and charm of this song on the spot, it shocked the soul. The powerful momentum made "Navigation" temporarily surpassed the two songs of "Good Day (.Day and "Magic Wall (, and became the most well-known masterpiece of Glory to Death.

"Butterfly" chose the song "Butterfly" on the same list as the second single, which is also an expected choice. This single is generally considered to be the most complete work in the entire album. Gorgeous incarnation of sweetness, this ballad of the same name has become the core track of the entire album. The beauty of the melody is almost incomparable. Every time you hear it, there is a sense of transcendence. Maria will take advantage of her music. And the changeable floral accent is integrated into the performance, which can be regarded as the best display of her peak singing skills."

The comments from "Rolling Stones" gave this single the highest praise, and it was only natural for Maria to choose this song as the second single.

The album "Stay in the Moment" has been criticized by music critics. It is difficult to sort out the thoughts in the mixed reviews, and it also makes it impossible to predict which work Oasis will choose as the second single. Finally they chose "Stand. By. Me". This choice has been supported by many music critics.

The song "Walk with Me" is considered by many to be the most oasis-style song in the entire album. "Beautiful and gloomy guitar strings, with emotional lyrics, a touch of melancholy and sadness in the melody. Flowing, although Liam's singing is rough and simple, it has a chemical reaction with the melody: the youthful simplicity in his heart will never fade and disappear."

This is a comment from "Q Magazine". Although many people also think that "Walk with Me" is nothing new, many sections are very similar to the previous songs of Oasis, and it is inevitable that there is suspicion of repeating myself; but it is undeniable that this The song has awakened the emotional resonance of many people, which is also the biggest weight for the Oasis Band to achieve today.

Choosing this song as the second single was praised by music critics as a "wise choice".

On October 28th, when the main battlefield album battle of the ultimate showdown kicked off, another battlefield for the single showdown was also in full swing. Although the album duel has attracted too many eyes and almost robbed 80% of the attention, the confrontation between the three singles is definitely not inferior.

Only on the 28th, the sales of the three singles "Voying", "Butterfly" and "Along with Me" broke the North American single-day sales record set by "Young Volcano" not long ago. Qi broke the 500,000 threshold and rewritten the highest record in North American music history with the ultra-high specifications of a single-day gold record.

Faced with such a strong performance of the three singles, there is no doubt that the billboard singles chart this week is bound to be shuffled.

Prior to this, "Young Volcano" achieved five consecutive championships, "Sweetheart" slipped to sixth place after four consecutive years, and "Do you know what I mean" after three consecutive weeks of third place slipped to the fifth week Tenth place. Now, the five consecutive championships of the "Young Volcano" are destined to be ended, but the question is: who will be the terminator?

The answer is: glory to death.

Only glory to death can end the glory of glory to death, and only glory to death can end the sweep of their singles nonchalantly, and only glory to death can declare their unparalleled sense of existence in such a powerful way.

In a single day on Monday, "Voyage" swept the sales of 610,000 copies in one go, and joined hands with the album "Blurry Rain" to conquer Normandy, achieving the great miracle of both landings. The sales easily surpassed the 570,000 copies of "Butterfly" and 5.1 million copies of "Go with Me".

From a simple data comparison, it can be seen that, unlike the competition of album smoke, the singles' duel is obviously more intense and the gap is narrower, and driven by the ultimate duel, the sales of the accompanying singles have soared. In the end, whoever wins No one can judge, the suspense far exceeds the album battlefield.

But from the sales curve of the album "Blurry Rain", it can be seen that the powerful appeal of glory to death is now no competitor. The enthusiasm of the young volcanoes burst out with shocking energy, and more importantly, Compared with the special meaning of "young volcano", "Navigation" has not only received more extensive praise for its overall quality, but also has a wider range of applications.

Not only did it easily create a new history in the North American music market, but it also joined hands with "Rapid Storm". "Together they erected a monument to look up to.

Even in the not-too-distant future, digital audio sources officially enter the stage of history and become a new force in single sales, but it is definitely not an easy task for any single's one-week sales to surpass the glory of "Navigation". . Just like the weekly sales volume of 2.91 million copies of "Blurry Rain", the weekly sales volume of 1.93 million copies of "Navigation" has also become a much talked-about legend is always inscribed.

Even time cannot annihilate this history. On the contrary With the precipitation of time, this period of history will only become more and more miraculous, making people wonder and wonder, curious about the glory and turbulence of that period, and lament the benchmark set by glory to death.

Undoubtedly, "Vailure" reached the top of the Billboard Singles Chart in the fifth week of October, ended the five-week period of "Young Volcano", and achieved hegemony in conjunction with "Rapid Rain", not only easy airborne. The throne of champions replicated the miracle of "bathing in the morning light"; at the same time, it was the second time after the glory to death appeared in the public eye, it dominated the singles and album double charts at the same time, tying the Beatles and Maria-Kelly. Create a record, smile proudly.
