How many reporters can imagine that when they were hyping the Glory to Death against Mariah Carey against the Oasis in the Battle of the Century, they would really set off a "end-of-the-century glory"; how many experts can imagine that rock and roll against the pop After the strong rise of the structure, they will really experience the miracle of the re-emergence of rock and roll; how many listeners can imagine that they lined up at the door of the record shop day and night just to support their idols, they will really become a part of the moment of making history .

How many people can imagine that the "storm and rain" really set off a storm, not only the music market, but also the entire history.

"Blurry Rain" swept 8.3 million sales in eight weeks, and only seven weeks later, "Blurry Rain" officially crossed the 10 million threshold in North America. To be precise, it is ninety-nine days! Although the total sales volume of "Blurry Rain" is still far from all records, this does not affect the album becoming the first album in the music history to exceed 10 million sales within a hundred days. .

Because the sales of "Blurry Rain" were so crazy, the Recording Industry Association of America had to hold a special meeting, and then the term "diamond sales" was officially born. In the United States, gold records are 500,000, platinum records are one million, and a few platinum records are millions of sales. Now, a new term has been added: diamond records, which is also a special award for sales of over 10 million. The album became the supreme glory.

"Blurry Rain" has become the first diamond record in the history of North American music! A whole new era has been opened.

Of course, there are currently as many as 103 diamond records in the long history of North American music. Among them, the Beatles own five diamond records in North America and are proud of the crowd; the highest-selling singers are the Eagles and Michael Jackson. The collection of the Eagles released in 1976 sold 29 million copies in the United States, and Michael's "Thriller" also included 29 million, which no one can surpass so far.

Glory to Death still has a long way to go to catch up with these records, but so far all three albums have become diamond records, which also created a historical record, and the "storm" was only ninety-nine days. Within the sales volume exceeded the 10 million threshold, which made all the media exclaimed: Is "Blurry Rain" going to become the third album in North American history that has sold more than 25 million?

After the battle of the century and the ultimate showdown, the Grammys ended with a glorious victory, the music market was boiling, and the curtain just started at this time.

In the fifth week of March, "Blurry Rain" defeated the southern rapper Scarface ()'s new album "Untouchable (, and won the Billboard album chart for the 21st consecutive time. In one fell swoop, it surpassed Elvis Presley's "Blue Hawaii (blue. and Whitney Houston's "Bodyguard" movie soundtrack, and tied for ninth on the historical list.

In the first week of April, "Blurry Rain" defeated the original soundtrack of "Slam Dunk in the Sky" again, completing the 22nd week of reelect and surpassing it. Hammer's album "Hammers, please don't hurt them (please.hammer,'t.hurt.'em released in 1990, ranked eighth alone.

Subsequently, "Blurry Rain" unstoppably surpassed the original soundtrack of "Saturday Night Fever" and "Purple Rain". The number of consecutive championship weeks has accumulated to twenty-five weeks without showing any signs of decline. Riding the wind and waves to continue to advance, finally in the fourth week of May drew a national exclamation:

After defeating the first album "Hot ( of the Spice Girls group to claim the top spot on the Billboard Albums Chart this week, "Blurry Rain" officially stood on the shoulders of giants, bringing his consecutive championship weeks to thirty weeks!

This time, no one will miss it, because history has been ceremoniously released in front of you, even if you stop here, the glory to death has already written history, and the "storm and rain" has become a thing of the past. In the past 30 years, the most successful album second only to "Thriller", this does not need to be discussed too much. Whether it is a 30-week consecutive championship or a cumulative sales of up to 13 million, it is enough to go down in the annals of history. Rock is strong. The rise has unstoppably enveloped the entire North American continent.

But people are looking forward to it, looking forward to the glory to death to further rewrite history, to further create brilliance, and to truly substitute this carnival into*. The fanatical support of the people also made "Blurry Rain" not disappointing. Everyone knows the next thing: "Blurry Rain" successfully defeated Hansen's album "Nothing to Know (") in the second week of July. of., leaving his name on the Billboard Albums Chart for the thirty-seventh consecutive time, tying the number of weeks of winning for "Thriller" and ranking second in history.

Now, the only thing left in front of "Blurry Rain" is the original soundtrack of the "West Side Story" movie.

Thirty-seven weeks, a full thirty-seven weeks of the dynasty, more than nine months of brilliance, the "storms and rains" firmly controlled the entire music market, and even more terrifying, the 37th week of the "storms and rains" "One week's sales still handed over 180,000 data, so good that all languages ​​have lost their color.

More realistic and ironic is that "Stay at this moment" was completely out of the chart as early as early April, and the Oasis band disappeared again, returning to London griefly, concentrating on recuperation, even though the Oasis band brought about the revival of British rock Hope is gone, but at this point in time, even the British media themselves cannot shift the focus from glory to death.

At this time, although "Butterfly" is still on the list, it has fallen out of the top 50 and does not have any competitiveness and comparability at all. If it’s just an ordinary album, then it’s not uncommon to see how many albums hit the charts in the past 37 weeks, but the point is that these three albums are the same. It was issued by Zhou, and it was also the vigorous Iron Triangle of the War of the Century.

How sensational the War of the Century was, how ironic the current list is.

With the strong momentum of winning the championship for 37 consecutive weeks, the cumulative North American sales of "Blurry Rain" has crossed the 14 million threshold, and it seems that 20 million sales are already aspirational. This has caused the North American music industry to break apart. Almost everyone is eagerly discussing whether "Blurry Rain" can win the championship again next week, whether it can break the "tremor" record, and whether it can break through the shackles of the forty-week championship. How high did it impact the "West Side Story"?

The history of the album chart is shaking, and the history of the singles chart has changed.

No one will forget that in the past two years, "Magic Wall ( and "Sweet Day" have fought each other. First, "Magic Wall" won 15 consecutive weeks, and then "Sweet Day" won sixteen consecutive weeks, almost in just half a year. In time, the record of the Billboard singles chart is constantly being refreshed. This is also the testimony of Mariah Carey's ascent to the top of the queen!

However, less than a year after "Sweet Day" created the historical record, history was changed again. After the single "Voyage ( cut off the five consecutive championships of "Young Volcano (., Strongly ended the journey of 1996 with eight consecutive championships. After entering 1997, the sweeping trend of "Navigation" has hardly diminished. It has occupied the radio single-day on-demand ranking champion for 66 consecutive days, creating In a new history, the high rate of on-demand radio has made "Navigation" a top spot on the singles chart.

In the third week of February, "Navigation" defeated the spice group "wannabe" and tied the 16-week consecutive championship record of "Sweet Day"; then in the first week of March, it was the second consecutive time. Overcoming the hot single of the Spice Girls, it strongly accumulated the number of consecutive championship weeks to 17 weeks, and once again wrote new history.

The 17-week consecutive championships of "Voyage" not only re-engraved the historical record of the consecutive weeks of the billboard singles with the name of glory to death, but also gave glory to the death of three consecutive ten-week singles, "A Good Day (.Day, "Magic Wall" and "Navigation" are also the only glories in the long history of music. This is the ironclad proof of the rock dynasty.

Immediately afterwards, "Navigation" defeated "Want to Be" for the third consecutive week, and accumulated his consecutive championship weeks to 18 weeks. Just as everyone was wondering whether "Navigation" could reach the incredible height of 20 consecutive weeks. , The third single of the album "Blurry Rain", "The Long Road (...way..., has quietly ranked among the top ten, and joined forces with "Young Volcano" and "Voyage" in the top ten. Occupies three seats.

"A Long Road" was the third single of this album when it was released very low-key. EMI Records officially released this single after the Grammy Awards ceremony. There is no music video or deliberate promotion. It just released this single. The name of the song is meaningful, so that real young volcanoes can do it. Savor the meaning carefully.

Since "The Long Road" did not carry out a strong publicity, nor did it perform on the night of the Grammy Awards, the first week of release was very low-key, just making it into the top 100 for the 91st place.

In the following two weeks, the sales of "The Long Road" did not explode quickly, but rose steadily in the radio on-demand rankings. By the time people noticed this single, it had unknowingly ranked among the top ten, and occupied the high position of sixth, which really exceeded many people's expectations.

In the third week of March, "The Long Road" jumped directly to the championship, squeezing "Navigation" to the runner-up position, ending the incredible record of "Navigation" for 18 consecutive weeks, and will be honored to death since the third in September last year. The momentum of occupying the billboard singles chart from the beginning of the week continued for twenty-four weeks!

From "young volcano" to "sailing" to "long road", the glorious rock dynasty has gradually taken shape.
