Chapter 1119 1119 Best single
If someone told Glory to death, the song "wonderwall" would become one of their most well-known singles. They would probably be surprised and Hugo would even sneer. When he created this song, he was actually not satisfied because the lyrics were too weak and the melody was not very complete.
Similarly, countless professionals will also sneer, because from any perspective, "Beautiful Day" is the most perfect song in glory to death. This song is definitely enough to be among the top ten songs of the 1990s.
But history is so interesting, giving a completely different answer.
Among the countless statistics twenty years later, professionals and professional magazines like the song "A Beautiful Day". They believe that this song is the pinnacle of the early years of Glory to Death. From melody to lyrics, from momentum to emotion, the whole completion is very full. This song is also one of the indispensable representative works in the long music career of Glory to Death.
However, in the audience's voting statistics, "a wonderful day" not only won't be as good as the "blind wall", but also has no distinction between "don't worry about the past (don't look.back.in.anger)" and "lithium" (lithium)". The reason is that the audience is not considering the technical level, the creative level, but their own emotional factors.
In 1996, among the most popular songs voted by "Rolling Stone", a total of 170,000 viewers voted, "Miss Wall" won the first place; in 1997, among the most popular songs voted by Germany, Australia, and the United Kingdom, "Miss Wall" won the love of countless listeners and easily won the top; in 2000, "Q Magazine" conducted a "Most Popular Songs voting for the past decade" with 37,000 viewers, "Miss Wall" defeated the heroes and won the championship again; in 2010, the American Kiis Music Radio held a vote, and more than 800,000 people voted to choose the most popular songs, and "Miss Wall" won the championship incredibly.
This is a result that even I never expected to be glorious until my death.
Many people joked, "Don't be upset about the past" made the music scene recognize glory until death, "A Beautiful Day" made the music scene remember glory until death, and "The Wall" truly achieved glory until death. In this regard, Hugo could only joke, "Luckily, these are three songs." In fact, it was just a self-deprecating. Nirvana Band only remembered one song "Youthful Spirit" by people at the beginning, but in fact, "Don't mind" there were countless outstanding songs in the album, at least there were "three songs" to death.
In the first week of release, "Miss Wall" directly exploded with sales of 230,000 yuan, and was airlifted on the Billboard singles rankings in the second week of March. This result has already surprised countless people.
If Hugo had carefully studied the trend of the Billboard singles rankings in the second quarter of 1995, he would find a very interesting phenomenon: these few months are completely the pattern of your performance.
First, the single "Take.a.wave" of the queen Madonna dominated the championship for seven weeks, followed by "This.is.how.we.do.it" by R&B singer Montell Jordan won the championship for seven weeks, and then the classic song "Did you ever really love a woman" by Bryan Adams, and finally the strongly rising girl group TLC won the championship for seven weeks with "waterfalls".
This continued from the last week of February to the third week of August, and then it was not until it fell into a melee.
It can be said that this is really an interesting situation. From this, we can also see some clues in the 1995 single rankings: there is a lack of a blooming situation, and most of them are traditional big-name singers occupying the mainstream music market and the styles are traditional pop and rhythm and blues. Although Brian Adams is a rock singer, he is also a representative of traditional pop rock.
Of course, Hugo knew nothing about this pattern in history, so he naturally could not feel the huge changes in the entire traditional music market after his little butterfly flapped his wings on the 37th Grammy.
"Miss Wall" directly soared to 200,000 in its first week of release, and was aired to the Billboard Singles Chart, ranking just below Madonna, who won three consecutive championships this week. Such a result made everyone fall below glasses.
Nearly eight months have passed since the release of "Bathing in the Morning Light", and even more than a month has passed since the intensive listing of "shape.of.my.heart" has been played. It has been six months since the last official promotional album of Glory to Death. This means that Glory to Death has almost "disappeared" in the public eye for so long, it is really terrible that "Missing Wall" can achieve such results!
From this perspective, we can also see how wide the impact of the Grammy and the new contract this time is.
It is worth mentioning that although Madonna successfully completed three consecutive championships this week, the radio on-demand champion this week was actually "Miss Wall". This single led the "Miss Wall" with a huge advantage of two percentage points, and dominated the radio on-demand rate rankings. "Miss Wall" officially launched on the radio station for only four days.
In addition, the album "Bath in the Morning Light" also has four other songs that have entered the top 50 radio on-demand rates this week. Even Nirvana's "Youthful Spirit" has appeared in the 100 radio rankings again after two years. What makes people laugh and cry is that many listeners actually think that "Youthful Spirit" is a song that is glorious to death, and they don't know who the original singer is. Obviously, these listeners have no interest in rock or even music. They just think it's good when they hear this song on Grammys.
This is also a profile of the great influence of Grammys.
If the achievements of "Miss Wall" only stop here, it cannot be said to have changed the market structure, let alone achieved glory to death. Obviously, the results of the first week of release are just the beginning of the glory of "Miss Wall".
After two consecutive weeks, "Miss Wall" grabbed 180,000 and 170,000 sales respectively, and dominated the radio on-demand championships, but it was still inferior to Madonna's "curtain" and completed his three consecutive runner-up championships, while also becoming a witness to the "curtain-off" five consecutive championships.
At this time, although the results of "Miss Wall" were very good, they were just "good". Some media began to sneer at the results of glory to death. The "New York Post" likes to join in the fun the most, but they have never reported much about music, so this time they just made fun of it. "The Glory, which has won many battles last year, was obviously too immature when facing the real queen Madonna."
In fact, the "New York Post" is not wrong. Although the glory was so powerful last year, the four-person who fought with them was a newcomer. The boy-man combination relied on the album "Two Boys, Two Men" to truly reach the top, while Madonna is definitely not a singer of the same level. This current queen who won countless popularity with "like.a.virgin" in 1984, even Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey are absolute juniors in front of her. Madonna is still popular and is still the first place in the world's most popular female singer.
The song "Calendar" created countless topics during the filming of the music video. Madonna personally arrived in the Spanish town of Ronda, but it attracted protests from environmentalists due to bullfighting, which caused a lot of controversy. After the single was released, she won the championship with a momentum of sweeping thousands of troops, and deserved the title for five consecutive championships.
Therefore, the "New York Post" is mocking the fact that glory is too shallow and the popularity foundation is not solid enough. Everything seems to be clouds and bubbles. On the surface, it looks like layers of mountains, but in fact it is vulnerable. Just a gust of wind blows, and maybe nothing is left.
However, the "Miwall" immediately ushered in a blowout: the Oscars ceremony ended again. Hugo, who did not participate in any publicity, once again ushered in a high exposure rate, and the super high popularity and good reputation accumulated by the "Miwall" in the previous three weeks finally ushered in a good opportunity to explode.
In the fifth week of March, the sales of "Miss Wall" showed an amazing increase, winning 510,000 sales in one go, not only creating the highest single sales in a single week since 1995, but also once again won the championship of radio on-demand rate, easily ending the "chapel" five consecutive championships and successfully topped the Billboard Singles Rankings this week!
"Miss Wall" ushered in a full-scale explosion in the fourth week after its release. Sales of 500,000 per week are among the top three in any year. Such outstanding results are not only not achieved by any single before Glory until death, but also other singers who have created such results can count with one hand. Just this week's glory is enough to make everyone admire the popularity of Glory until death.
What's more, Madonna defeated her glory to death.
In addition, the powerful explosion of "Miss Wall" also led to the sales of other singles "Bath in the Morning Light". "A Beautiful Day" and "Shape.of.my.heart" also returned to the top ten, recreating the feat of glory to death and having three seats in the top ten singles rankings.
Incredibly, "Miss Wall" took only four weeks to bring its accumulated sales to 1.09 million, which also exceeded "A Beautiful Day" and became the single that achieved the fastest platinum certification in the sales volume of Honor to Dead. This also allowed people to see the endless style of this song that achieved the top band of Honor to Dead.
Major record companies couldn't help but sigh that EDA Records really held a good hand. The new album of Honor to the Death has not yet had a charter, and EDA Records has made another success.
In addition to "Miscellaneous Wall", there are other topics worth discussing this week. Among the top 20 Billboard singles, Green Day, Sound Garden, and Nine Inch Nails, the names of three alternative rock bands, were unprecedented!
