Chapter 1626 1626 The first battle
North American land in the fourth week of September seemed extremely lively. On the one hand, people were looking forward to the miracle of "Independence Day" box office exceeding 500 million; on the other hand, people were closely watching the direction of the War of the Century every day, which almost became a carnival for the people across the United States, and even more exciting than the summer vacation time. The media ushered in the busiest period in the past five years!
Authoritatives such as the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, the smartest as the Chicago Tribune, the San Francisco Chronicle, the cunning as the New York Post, and the USA Today... Every day, the sales data of the American Recording Industry Association are released, refining this battle of the century to every day's competition, making this one-week-long absolute evolution into seven days of fighting, pushing the heat wave of the battle of the century to the peak bit by bit!
After winning strongly until death on Monday, war was ignited in every corner of North American land on Tuesday.
During this day, Maria Kelly's fans completed a big explosion in North America, with great momentum to sweep away the shadow of Monday's failure. A large number of fans flocked to buy the single "Sweetheart". Sony Columbia Records also increased their strength to win back the gap between being glorious and dead on the first day of the city. This is definitely not good news for them so that more than 80 radio stations in the United States carried out intensive bombing and publicity on this day. DJs from major radio stations have recommended the song "Sweetheart", which has made the single's spread coverage qualitative leap.
The Oasis Band also made great efforts to overtake, and their fans came in full force and burst out with terrifying combat power on this day. They even launched a campaign to gather fans to listen to singles in 17 major cities including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Seattle, Houston, Washington, and other fans gathered together to listen to singles, mobilizing nearly 30,000 people, becoming the biggest topic of the day and occupying the newspapers and magazines of countless media.
Relatively speaking, it seemed a bit low-key when completing the sales explosion on the first day. Although the band still carried out busy radio promotions, EDA Records also contacted major media to release public relations drafts, promoting Monday's epic victory, but compared to the two competitors who tried their best to explode their energy, Glory to death was undoubtedly stolen by the limelight.
The American Recording Industry Association immediately released the sales data for September 24th, and the result was absolutely "reasonable but unexpected". Maria swept out 140,000 sales on this day. This is the second day of the single release and the data after the sales of 300,000 on the first day. Even the words "shocking" cannot describe the storm in people's hearts at this moment. In the end, Maria won the single-day sales championship on Tuesday under the cover of fans. While showing her awesomeness, she once again proved her status as the first day in the United States.
Although no one will forget the great cause of "apology" overwhelming "fantasy", no one will forget the glory of "sweet day" breaking the historical record of 16 weeks of championships.
Maria swept away the gloom of the first day's failure, appeared on major shows in a high-profile manner and talked about the hardships and bitterness of the transformation behind the new album, and officially declared war on glory to death: it is unknown who the final champion of the Billboard this week will be!
Faced with Maria's phenomenal sales the day after the single was released, the glorious "Young Volcanoes" only received 90,000 sales.
In fact, this sales data is already incredible behind the outbreak of 430,000 on the first day. "Young Volcano" has broken the historical record and became the fastest single selling 500,000 copies worldwide. The incredible speed made everyone look at it. However, compared with the 100,000-level single sales volume of "Sweetheart" at this time, it still looks inferior.
But the interesting thing is here. Although the publicity of Glory to Death the next day seemed tepid, almost all the topic effects were concentrated on Maria and the Oasis Band, Glory to Death still stubbornly occupied the runner-up of Tuesday's single-day sales. The massive Oasis Band still ranks third.
Although the fans of Oasis Band have acted in a huge event, the support group of Oasis Band has never been able to compete with the two competitors due to the away game in North America. On Tuesday, only 50,000 sales were handed in. If this result is placed in any other time period of the year, it would be a very incredible result, because under the current data where the weekly singles of the week are generally around 100,000, a single-day sales of 50,000 are almost a terrifying data. This also shows that Oasis Band's expansion speed in North America is very terrifying. When Honor released the album "Bathing in Morning Light" until his death, it was not as popular as the Oasis Band at this time, but the results were much worse than those of the two competitors.
This is a battle of the century! The reason why all sales burst out with such huge energy is because the three parties collided with each other to create endless sparks, but obviously there was a life-and-death battle between Maria and Glory to death, but the Oasis Band was still a little short of breath after all.
The final single-day sales seats on Tuesday were Maria, Glory to Death, and Oasis.
Although Oasis is the last two consecutive days of reverence, it is a miracle that they can achieve such glory in the North American market. This is indeed the most magnificent victory in the past thirty years since the Beatles. Therefore, people will look forward to Oasis's achievements in the UK, and the British pop music rankings are the decisive weight for Oasis to become the king.
However, the competition in the North American market continued continuously. Fans of the three parties of the War of Century were already angry at this time. Their attitude of leaving each other was losing control bit by bit. Although they would not roll up their sleeves and release a large-scale fight, the momentum of holding their breath and trying to compete was concentratedly reflected in the sensation and shock of the single sales market.
As unprecedented as ever, the explosive power of the North American singles market has surpassed the record market.
On Wednesday, Honor rebounded strongly until his death and regained the single-day sales championship. Maria and Oasis ranked second and third. On Thursday, Honor swept through thousands of troops to death and won the single-day sales championship for the first time in this battle of the century. Maria ranked second with a slight gap. Although the Oasis was hit hard, it still did not fall behind.
On Friday, Honor was unstoppable and had three consecutive daily sales championships! Oasis completed a counterattack on this day, and sales ushered in the biggest explosion after the release of the single, surpassing Maria and occupying the runner-up of single sales. Maria did not change it in one breath and directly slipped to third place.
It seems that things are developing according to the script that David Geffen expected: after Honor gained an advantage until his death, he made a big move and showed a powerful momentum that other competitors could not match. But the interesting thing is here. Maria and the Oasis did not make a fortune. They still showed unparalleled competitiveness and firmly grasped the showdown, without letting the suspense disappear early, and even more so, the Oasis also completed an incredible counterattack in the North American market.
So what next? Will Maria fans have an eruption again on the weekend? Will Oasis supporters still have the energy to usher in the final battle on the weekend? Have the young volcanoes with glory to death reached their limit?
At such a critical moment, the American Recording Industry Association announced that the weekend sales data display will not be announced and will be announced together with the Billboard final list on Monday.
With a loud bang, the whole of North America was sensational. Obviously, he complained about the American Recording Industry Association's such a sensational act. Even major TV programs began to tease each other: The Recording Industry Association angrily showed its presence!
But it is undeniable that this move by the American Recording Industry Association was wise, because while retaining the suspense, it also gradually pushed the battle of the century to a boiling point. Throughout the weekend, the air was filled with a sense of tension, and it seemed that there was a possibility of losing control and a complete outbreak at any time, making every ordinary person a participant in this prosperous era.
September 30th is a Monday, not only the last day of September, but also the time when the Billboard announces the major lists of this week. Under the gaze of the public, the Billboard reveals the final results of the First Battle of the Century!
The Billboard Singles Ranking Rankings in the fourth week of September belongs to... Glory to death!
This independent band, which has been back with a new single after two years, not only brought new metal rock into people's sight, but also made the entire North American market earth-shaking! Following the album that stunned countless people two years ago, Honor To Death announced its triumphant return with a song "Young Volcano", which pushed the band's expectations for the third volume to the peak overnight.
"Young Volcano" became the sixth single of the championship to death, and it was also the band's second single to airborne championship after "Beautiful Day". This also made Glory surpass Michael Jackson and Mariah Carey to die, becoming the singer with the most airborne championship singles in North American music history.
But this is not the most successful place in Honor until death. What’s even more terrifying is that “Young Volcano” swept 1.07 million in sales this week, which is the first single in North American history to exceed one million in sales in a single week!
At present, in the entire North American music market, the measure of whether a single is excellent or not is one million. Generally, there are no more than thirty singles that can reach this level throughout the year. This is the current situation in the North American music market. Album sales are far ahead of singles.
But the "Young Volcano" created millions of sales in just one week. This is not only a terrible data, but also an almost insurmountable data, even if it is glorious to death. With such a terrible momentum, glorious to death completed the landing of "Normandy"!
Chapter completed!
