"Maracana is Woodstock in the nineties."

Everyone knows what the phrase "New Yorker" really means. It naturally refers to the performance at the Maracana field in "storms and rains". That performance was sung from 1996 to 1997. Since then, The seeds of rock and roll are like dandelions, spread all over the world.

In 1969, Woodstock gathered 450,000 people. Those three days of peace and music left a deep mark in history; in 1996, Maracana gathered 700,000 people. Those two Tian's carnival and music have left a unique stroke in the yellowing history.

Even if people cannot predict the future, after experiencing Maracana’s enthusiasm, people can clearly feel that glory to death is silently affecting everyone with their own persistence, their own enthusiasm and their own will. people. This was the cry of the "New Yorker", the response of the major media, and the classic moment of historical change.

In fact, long before the arrival of Maracana, all of this had a foreboding. From the devastating victory of the war of the century to the grand victory of the ultimate showdown in the Normandy landing battle, the glory will be stepped on step by step. Looking at history on the shoulders of giants.

After the outbreak of 2.91 million sales in the first week, although the sales of "Hardstorm" fell by 51% in the following week, it still harvested 1.43 million sales. Such a strong performance is more than just a few. Unsurprisingly, he completed the championship of the Billboard Albums chart again, and further widened the gap between the glory to death and the two competitors.

The sales of 1.43 million in a single week in the second week is not only the champion of the previous week’s sales in music history, even if it is above all the weekly sales charts, this result is only lagging behind last Wednesday’s wagon creation. The score surpassed the data of the original soundtrack of the "Bodyguard" movie, ranking fourth in history. Such momentum is enough to make all words pale and weak.

"Butterfly" sales plummeted 68% in the first week of November, winning a weekly sales of 630,000. Although this sales data is still incredible, given that there are only a handful of albums in North America that have sold more than 500,000 in a single week, the weekly sales of 630,000 is undoubtedly very outstanding, which is enough to guarantee Maria's consecutive number. Hold the second place on the bulletin board in two weeks.

But it was only the runner-up. The sales volume of 130,000 yuan on a single Saturday is only a little more than 50% of the sales volume of 1.25 million yuan in a single week of "Blurry Rain." open. If the competition in the first week was still full of suspense, then all the suspense in the second week was stifled by the young volcanoes. The propaganda power of the "Blurry Rain" concert tour is seeping out bit by bit, with full stamina.

What's more frustrating is that because of glory to death dedicated to the tour, Maria and the Oasis band became entangled instead. Originally Maria didn’t think the Oasis could become a competitor at all, but this time Creative Records teamed up with Universal Music, and Tiexin intends to push the Oasis to the top. Not only was the propaganda battle between the two parties involved in a hard fight, but even the sales competition was irrelevant. .

"Stay at this moment" achieved a score of 600,000 with a 67% drop. Such data can be said to be against the sky, the gap with "Butterfly" is only within 30,000 sheets, which is the gap that can be overtaken at any time within a day, and under the strong propaganda momentum of Oasis Band, the decline control is very gratifying. This also proves once again that the Oasis band is so popular.

In the end, in the first week of November, "Stay Now" only ranked third with a slight disadvantage, but it left countless suspenses for next week's Billboard album chart, which was very tickling.

At the same time, on the singles chart in the first week of November, "Vailure ( also achieved great results, with a weekly sales of 1.01 million, which is still a weekly sales record in the North American music market. In the 1990s, when the annual sales volume was 2 million, it could easily make it into the top ten. This result was enough to make this single win the second consecutive week of double billboard championships for the second consecutive week of glory. People were speechless except for the powerful sigh of glory to death.

The competition for the two songs "Butterfly" and "Along with Me" has also entered a fierce competition this week. In the end, Maria relied on the advantage of the radio on-demand rate to occupy the runner-up, and the Oasis band regrettably ranked third again. But the gap between the two singles is already within reach, even more intense than the competition for the album, making audiences unable to resist the adrenaline rush.

Compared with Yiqi Juechen's "storm and rain", the fight between "butterfly" and "stay in this moment" is obviously more topical. In addition, glory to death never cooperates with interviews, so the focus of media coverage is gradually Transferred to Maria and Oasis.

Under the warming and uproar of the media, this "torn and force war" has continued to heat up and gradually evolved into a personal attack. In the end, the sales battle between the two sides was second. Maria and the Gallagher brothers of the Oasis band publicly scolded them in front of the media, and the words were vulgar and unpleasant, so it was so lively that the audience really saw an annual tear-off show.

This is definitely something that no one could think of before the start of the War of the Century-after all, people still hoped that Maria could join forces with the Oasis to fight glory to death.

The ultimate showdown has added a lot of fun, and the announcement of the bulletin board list every week has become the focus of attention.

Under the attention of the whole world, Glory to death will continue his strength to the end, with two consecutive championships, three consecutive championships, four consecutive championships...seven consecutive championships. Everyone is focusing on Maria and Oasis in the "storm". In the band, he unknowingly completed the seven consecutive championships with absolute advantage. Even more frightening is that in the last week of 1996, the single-week sales of "Blurry Rain" exceeded 300,000 again, and it won 3700,000 sales in one go. The posture of swallowing mountains and rivers could not find any opponents. Unsurprisingly, he won eight consecutive championships in his bag, finishing 1996 and welcoming 1997.

During these eight weeks, "Blurry Rain" faced Van Hellen’s Best Collection (best.of..1), The Beatles Collection Three (), Snoopy-Doggou (..) Challenges from works such as the second album "Dog. Dad (the. and Bush's second album "Blade Suitcase (., especially the two of The Beatles and Snoopy-Doggo In the first week of the album’s release, an amazing sales momentum broke out, but the last laugh was "storms"!

It can be said that the eight consecutive championships of the "storm" not only defeated the other two competitors of the troika, but also defeated a group of powerful challengers, and the final victory was well deserved. This is the most direct manifestation from the sales data.

In just eight weeks, "Blurry Rain" achieved sales of 8.3 million. This is not only the fastest-selling album in music history, but also the first North American music history that sold more than 8 years in that year. Millions of albums. In a horizontal comparison, "Bath of Morning Light" was released in August of that year, and the final year-end sales volume was 7.26 million. However, "Blurry Rain" was released at the end of October and achieved 8% in just eight weeks. With over one million sales data, even EMI Records has been shocked by such a momentum.

Undoubtedly, the "storm and rain" is the king, with incomparable absolute strength set off a frenzy at the end of the year, causing the entire music market to burst out with endless energy.

In the face of the absolute strength of "Butterfly" and "Remain in This Moment", the duel between "Butterfly" and "Remain in This Moment" was inextricably killed. In the second week of November, "Remain in This Moment" completed the overtake, although the "Butterfly" was tight. In the following week, he returned to the runner-up position, but in the fourth week of November, "Stay Now" took the runner-up position again.

Although the highest position they can strive for is the runner-up, which sounds a bit bleak, but the fact is not the case. The two albums "Butterfly" and "Stay in the Moment" are constantly refreshing their own records, rewriting history, and achieving it. The true pinnacle of Maria and Oasis' musical career. It may not be as Glory to Death, but there is no doubt that Maria and Oasis have also benefited a lot from the War of the Century and achieved an unimaginable breakthrough in their careers.

During the period, the Beatles and Snoopy-Doggo each defeated other competitors in one week, ranking runner-up, just behind the "hurt and rain", but other than that, "butterfly." And "Stay at this moment" held the runner-up and third place very firmly. In the end, "Butterfly" slightly led the runner-up in four weeks. Although "Stay at this moment" only gained the runner-up for two weeks, the gap was not as big as imagined.

In the last week of 1996, the Billboard album rankings were still dominated by "Butterfly", "Butterfly" ranked runner-up, and "Stay Now" followed closely behind. Undoubtedly, the band's "Tragedy Kingdom" and Celine Dion's "Falling in Love" are fortunate to be the last two members of the top five.

The brilliant competition in 1996 came to an end. The Glory to Death, the Iron Triangle duel between Maria and Oasis lighted up the music market in the second half of the year and set off a sales storm. This war of the century really detonated the market, not only It was a single singer who achieved outstanding results, but the troika went hand in hand, driving the prosperity of the entire market. The total album sales for the year increased by an incredible 19% compared with last year, setting a new record in music history. Everyone realizes that there is still more energy waiting to be tapped in the music market that people recognize, making the war of the century truly worthy of the name "the highest peak before the end of the century."

In the competition for the year-end album sales charts, Glory To Death won the championship with an absolute advantage. This is also their first year-end sales champion since Glory To Death turned out to be theirs. This once again filled the rain. If there is a gap in your career! The power of the king is unstoppable!
