"Rapid Rain", "Life After Death", and "Hot" became the top three in the North American year-end album sales charts in 1997, and these are the only three albums that have sold over 6 million.

Even if it is the top three at the end of the year, and there are only 6 million or more albums, the gap between them is huge. This is even more so that the single-year sales volume has passed the threshold of 10 million. No one can stop the rise of rock and roll.

After these three albums, Gas-Brooks, Wudang (wu.tang.clan), Lean-Lime, Celine Dion, Hansen, and Bragging Dad occupy the top of the year-end charts respectively. Ten.

Among them, Gas and Li An are both rural types, Wudang School, and Bragging Daddy are hip-hop representatives, Celine is popular, and Hansen's band is considered pop rock. It can be seen that the momentum of the rhythm and blues that has been rising in the past two years has gradually slowed down, while hip-hop and rock are rising strongly.

However, in fact, there are not as many authentic rock seats in the top ten, mainly because "Blurry Rain" dominates. Although the rise of other rock bands is fierce, they have not been able to create more threats after all. Strong list. But among the top 30, rock and roll occupies a full 12 seats, leading this year's rock and roll market with an absolutely strong posture.

In the same situation, it was fully reflected in the year-end singles list, and rock singles accounted for half of the country!

Elton-John’s "Candle in the Wind/Goodbye. The English Rose (candle.in.'97, the glorious "Navigation (, the bragging father’s "I will miss you (i'll. be... These three singles each achieved sales of more than 3 million yuan, which ushered in a full-scale explosion in the music market in 1997, which is also in history. For the first time, three singles sold more than 3 million copies in one year!

After that, "Unstoppable", the bragging father who ended the glory to the death singles' consecutive twenty-seventh week championship momentum, was in the third place, and the momentum was impressive.

Li'an-Lime's "How to Live (.. i., the "Long Road (. to the death of glory, "Waiting for the world to change (.change to the death of glory, "The Backstreet Boys" Don’t fool me(s)”, Robin’s “Show Cherish(.)”, u2’s “Discotheque (heque)” and other singles occupy the remaining top ten seats.

Among them, Glory to Death occupied three seats in one fell swoop and became the biggest winner. Coupled with the shortlisting of Robin and u2, rock occupies five seats in the top ten. This is also the most direct manifestation of the strong rise of rock and roll this year, making people feel the coming of the golden age of rock and roll.

but. To everyone's surprise, "Vailure" did not win this year's year-end singles sales chart again, which also made it so Glory to the death that regrettably missed "the year-end championship of the album and singles double chart for two consecutive years." Feat. Although it is said that "Navigation" has achieved 3.87 million sales throughout the year, although it is not as good as last year's 4 million level. But it is still enough to make this single go into the annals of history.

The single that defeated "Navigation" and broke the suspense came from the famous Elton John. His single "Candle in the Wind/Goodbye, Rose of England" successfully won the 1997 North American year-end singles chart. throne!

Speaking of "Candle in the Wind/Goodbye, Rose of England", one has to mention the single "Waiting for the World to Change".

In the second week of August, the fourth single "Waiting for the World to Change" in "Glorious To Death" was officially released, one step at a time without any publicity. In the third week of September, he climbed to the championship position and became the fourth single on the album. At the same time, it became the ninth single of the glory to the death. The results are outstanding.

However, it is a pity that "Waiting for the world to change" only stayed on the championship for a week, and then slipped to the runner-up position. Since then, it has been in the runner-up maintenance for a full nine weeks. It can be seen that this single has nothing to do with it. In the case of publicity, it is still loved, but it is a pity. He has always lacked a little explosiveness, and has not been able to stay in the championship position for more time.

And the single "Waiting for this world to change" is completely suppressed by the single "Candle in the Wind/Goodbye. The Rose of England"!

A year ago, "Young Volcano(s first won 1.07 million sales in a single week, shaking the entire North American market; afterwards, "Navigation" continued its efforts, with 1.93 million sales in a single week, shocking the world. It sets a new benchmark and makes everyone think that this is an impossible data to surpass. However, only a year later, Elton John achieved this feat!

"Candle in the Wind/Goodbye, Rose of England" is the single Elton-John rewrites his 1973 old work "Candle in the Wind" in commemoration of Princess Diana's unexpected death. It was to mourn her death. Created by Marilyn Monroe for many years. This time, because of Princess Diana's sudden death, Elton re-adapted the lyrics and released it again.

Just as the death of Princess Diana shocked the world, "Candle in the Wind/Goodbye, Rose of England" also shocked the world. This single sold for 3.5 million in a week. Zhang-an incredible 3.5 million copies. This achievement not only blasted the record set by the "voyage" last year, but also wrote an almost unsurpassed historical record.

The fact is indeed the case. In the long twenty years to come, no one will ever break the weekly sales of "Candle in the Wind/Goodbye, Roses of England". In fact, no one can break even the second-highest weekly sales record in the history of Voyage-it is extremely difficult to even get close, and the single's brilliance has been permanently fixed at this moment.

"Candle in the Wind/Goodbye, Rose of England" has not only created the history of one-week sales. And in less than two months, it sprinted towards ten million sales, and finally successfully broke through ten million days, becoming the first and only one in a long music scene. Singles whose internal sales exceeded 10 million, and the final sales of 11 million at the end of the year, make people only look up. This record is like the global sales volume of the album "Thriller" of 104 million, and even the courage to challenge can't breed.

"Waiting for the world to change" is under the suppression of such a devastating sales hegemon. It has been runner-up for ten consecutive weeks. In fact, the final year-end sales of this single are also approaching two million. This achievement is achieved in less than four months, and there is almost no publicity, it can be said to be very good, not to mention that it was created under the pressure of "Candle in the Wind/Goodbye. Roses of England" of.

It is precisely because of Elton John’s outstanding performance that the single "Voyage" sold close to four million, but it can only be regretted that it ranks runner-up. The title can be said to be in "Candle in the Wind/Goodbye, Rose of England" "All suspense was killed in just one week after the release.

But even so, the performance of Glory to Death is still very good. In addition to the "voyage", the "long road" has won 2.49 million sales, and the final sales of "Waiting for the world to change" is 100. Ninety-four thousand copies, although it can't be compared with Elton. But in the absence of any publicity, the album "Blurry Rain" has achieved such excellent results in its second year of release, and it is still enough to make the band dominate.

What's more terrifying is. Glory to Death dominated the global market for the second consecutive year.

"Blurry Rain" strongly won the year-end album sales championship in 31 countries and regions, including the United Kingdom. Although "Navigation" failed to win the year-end championship in the three major markets of the United Kingdom, the United States, and Japan, it still occupied The year-end singles sales champions in the other 26 countries and regions have continued their glory to death for two consecutive years.

"Blurry Rain" swept the sales of more than 1,100 copies in overseas markets, handed over 10 million sales for the second year in a row, and successfully won the year-end global album with more than 21 million sales worldwide. Top sales. In one breath, the cumulative sales of this album have reached 39.66 million, and 40 million sales are within reach.

Last year, "Blurry Rain" set an incredible sales record in just eight weeks of its release. At that time, people were discussing whether the final global sales of this album could exceed 40 million, and even sprint to 45 million, which is currently the runner-up in global sales history, the "dark side of the moon".

Now, only a year later Huge wind and rain" has handed in the answer sheet, ranking in the top ten of the historical sales list with a number of 39.66 million, and hanging high-profilely in the top ten. Nine!

There is no doubt that "Blurry Rain" will become the ninth album in history that has sold more than 40 million, and the 45 million sales of "Dark Side of the Moon" will no longer be an unattainable goal. . Perhaps, the sales volume of "Thriller" is unshakable at 104 million, but "Blurry Rain" is hopeful to become a work for one person and more than 10,000 people.

Even though Glory to Death has created countless records, people still have no way to imagine that this day has just arrived. After the album "Back to the Dark" in 1980, after seventeen years, people will truly feel it again. To the recovery of the golden age of rock and roll; even though the golden age has come again, people still can't believe that all this is true.

This powerful influence is the truest portrayal of glory to death today, and as the lead singer of the band, Hugo has made great contributions. This is why Hugo, as an actor and a singer, has enough to shake Hollywood, an important reason for the power of alarming Wall Street.

No one knows what height Hugo will reach next, and no one knows where history will go. But what is certain is that the glory of 1997 has left a gleaming stroke in the annals of history. (To be continued)
