Due to the characteristics of the American market, the album has always been selling for a long time, so it is not surprising that "Bathing in the Morning Light" performed well this year. After all, the second, third and fourth singles of this album almost ran through the whole year, and declared a powerful sense of glory to death with a mighty momentum.

However, the "almost famous" that has been on the market for two years is still driving incredible sales this year, which makes people have to applaud.

Although compared to the feat of "bathing in the morning light" that easily exceeded 10 million sales, as a first-time test work of Honor, the sales of "almost famous" did not show such a devastating attitude, this year it still delivered sales data of 2.21 million, and the accumulated sales reached 8.76 million, which was a long distance from the threshold of 10 million. It would be more difficult to exceed this level. But even so, the sales certification of "almost famous" eight platinum still amazed the entire North American market.

The first album, Eight Platinum Certification, and the second album, Twelve Platinum Certification, is enough to make Glory to Death comparable to Nirvana Band, Pearl Sauce. Even compared to Whitney Houston, who was in a prestigious 1990s, Maria Carey is on par with the Band.

Simply put, the current Glory to Death is the focus of attention, and every move will cause a chain reaction. This momentum is no less than Hugo, an actor, who is a actor, who calls the wind and rain in Hollywood. The two albums have achieved a total sales of 7.54 million in sales throughout the year, which is almost the same as the total sales of Michael Jackson's "History" of the album "History" of the championship album, which is also a direct proof of the direct data that Glory to Death to Death to Death to the Top in 1995.

The top four album sales rankings of this year are Michael Jackson, Mariah Carey, Alanis Mollyset and Glory To Death, followed by the new album "The.woman.in.me" that created a sensational effect. After this album received waves of praise, it sold 4.66 million copies of the album in one go, successfully entering the top five of the year-end sales rankings.

After that, the original soundtrack of the movie "Stay Wake Up" recorded by Whitney Houston for the movie "Stay Wake Up" sold 4.13 million in just under three months, allowing everyone to witness the unparalleled powerful appeal of the queen singer. Although the box office of the movie "Stay Wake Up" was very bad, and the global box office was only 83 million, and even fell behind "before sunrise", the original soundtrack of the movie "Stay Wake Up" sang by Whitney was still enthusiastically sought after, which is the super high popularity of the queen.

The indie rock band Mannheim Steamroller is very alternative and avant-garde. Their music types include alternative rock, avant-garde electronics and new metal rock, and even alternative styles such as gospel and pure music. The alternative rock album "Christmas.in.the.aire" released this time continues their consistent personality, including electronic rock and Christmas carols, but interestingly, this album was not released during the Christmas season, but chose to be launched in September.

However, this "Ayer's Christmas" has been recognized by the market. It took advantage of the wave of new metal rock and won 3.74 million in sales in one fell swoop, ranking seventh on the year-end list.

The last three seats in the top ten are respectively occupied by the original soundtrack of the "Poems of the Wind" movie, the Bush BH's album "Sixteen-Year-Old Diamond (Private xteen.stone)" and the original soundtrack of the "Dangerous Games" movie. In addition to the top ten, Tim McGraw's album "All.i.want", these eleven albums are all the works that have exceeded the three million threshold throughout the year.

Among them, the Bush band, which emerged from the UK, attracted a lot of attention. They were bands from the UK but chose to make their official debut in the United States. The album "Sixteen-Year Diamond" was released at the end of 1993. The Bush band is a typical imitator of Nirvana. Their grunge is the representative music of the post-Nirvana era followers. This kind of music has a good foundation among fans, but it is not worth mentioning in the eyes of professional film critics and senior rockers. It is completely a vulgar commercial replica. Many professionals believe that this is just a real grunge music created by record companies to fill the demand for grunge in the music market.

Despite this, the Bush band won applause among young people. After more than a year of long brewing and preparation, thanks to the large amount of publicity on the mtv channel, it finally ushered in a big explosion in 1995. Four singles in the album ranked among the top 100 in the Billboard singles, with remarkable results.

Looking at the top ten albums in the year-end album rankings, Alanis, Glory to Death, Mannheim Road Roller, and the four Bush rock bands supported half of the sky. The first three were all representatives of new metal rock, and finally they were grunge. Such a momentum was a situation that they could not even imagine in the previous few years.

But now, relying on the preparation of generations of rock musicians, we finally reached our peak in the new metal rock led by glory to death.

Although there are no official events for Glory to Death this year, whether it is the album rankings or single rankings, you can feel the powerful influence of Glory to Death. In addition to Glory to Death, other rock forces have also begun to catch up, especially in the album market, the pattern of blooming flowers has finally been formed. This is the real arrival of the rock era!

However, as new metal rock enters the music market, the situation has begun to change. New metal rock originally incorporates diversified elements such as hip-hop, rap, pop, and electronics on the basis of original rock, making rock more popular while maintaining the unique spirit of rock bands. However, more and more new metal rocks only change their style to cater to the market, making arrangements simpler, chords become rougher, and the decline in music quality is also very obvious.

Grunge imitation bands led by Bush are emerging one after another, and the quality is uneven. Now they are influenced by new metal rock. Bush and other imitation bands have also begun to incorporate electronics, allowing their music to gradually deviate from the category of simple grunge and simple new metal rock, and have become a kind of rock that is not like a rock. Many people call it commercial rock, which is a kind of saliva music.

It can be said that while rock is integrating into the mainstream market, it is also receiving the impact of uneven quality. In the long run, it will inevitably enter a new round of decline. In fact, not only rock, but every music, including countryside, pop, and rhythm and blues, is like this. It will decline when it reaches a peak. After it develops to a peak, commercial demand begins to destroy the purity of music. Maybe the music sells better, but the quality of music is even worse.

This is true as it entered the 21st century. The quality of all music genres has generally declined sharply, until 2014. Not to mention the prosperity of music events before the 1990s, even signs of recovery cannot be seen.

Therefore, when the rock era truly awakens again, it is only after taking the first step. How to make rock rainbows continue, avoid the vicious cycle of decline in the 1970s, and allow rock to maintain vigorous vitality like other music genres. This is the goal that has a long way to go.

What role will Glory play on this road until death? It is really exciting. Perhaps the third album that the band has not appeared for a long time can see some clues.

But no matter what, four seats in the top ten albums in the year-end album chart belong to rock. This is a huge victory. This is the most direct reaction of the market to the rock recovery situation: everyone opened their arms and warmly welcomed the resurrected rock!

In addition to rock and roll, the movie soundtrack occupies three seats. The results of these three works "Wait until the dream is awake", "Poem in the Wind" and "Dangerous Games" are not top-notch. It is completely different from the situation of the "Lion King" movie soundtrack last year. The box office of "Wait until the dream is awake" and "Dangerous Games" can even be said to be bad, and the reputation is unmatched.

But the original soundtrack of the movie showed such a strong appeal. Whitney who "waits until he wakes up" and Curio of "Dangerous Games" also ranked among the top ten in the year-end singles rankings. This shows that the way of combining music and movies was very popular in the 1990s, and excellent works emerged one after another, whether it was music or movie soundtrack. This situation became increasingly rare in the 21st century, which is really a pity.

The three remaining seats in the top ten are Michael's popularity, Maria's R&B, and Shania's Country, of course, Tim, who ranks 11th, is also a representative of the countryside.

It can be said that the album rankings also show the same trend as the single rankings. Rock, pop and rhythm and blues are the most popular music genres in the music market today. Although the countryside, with a long history and deep-rooted mass base, has a slightly weaker momentum, it still steadily occupies its own camp and always has a sky.

This is 1995. In all aspects, it seems to be inferior to last year's year, but it has become a year that continues countless glory in the past few years. In this year, stars shine, Tom Hanks and Jim Carrey top the box office superstar... Michael reappears his glory, and rock forces have emerged... Among them, Hugo is still a force that cannot be ignored. With his huge influence, he is officially crowned the superstar crown.

Since the Golden Raspberry Awards in 1992, Hugo has brought countless surprises every year. So what will happen next? Can "Death Prison Walk", "Seven Deadly Sins" and "Before Sunrise" win some awards ceremony, giving a perfect end to 1995? And where will the box office battle between "Doomsday" and "Ace Commissioner" go? Will the third album of glory to death break the shackles or will it end?

When the first ray of sunrise in 1996 came, people suddenly felt excited, and the curtain of the new year kicked off with the grand selection of children's actors in the "apocalypse", continuing the craze of 20 million clubs at the end of last year!
