Chapter 1630 1630 Wonderful
The war of the century originated in the North American market has erupted infinite energy in the land of Britain. Compared with the confrontation between Glory to Death and Maria in the North American market, it is obvious that the competition in Britain is much more fierce and hot. What is more rare is that the result of the British market is likely to become a key area that influences the outcome of the world.
As time goes by, sight around the world is gathering towards Britain bit by bit.
After the prosperity on Monday, Tuesday belonged to the Oasis Band, and Wednesday ushered in the outbreak of both Glory to Death and Maria, and the British market was completely boiling. On Thursday, the noisy scene took away countless people's breaths and truly ushered in the peak battle of the War of the Century!
The fans of the Oasis Band who are not willing to be outdone want to regain the initiative and show extremely strong glory to the death. The fans of the fans want to continue their glory. The fans of the Mariah Carey, who have extremely strong explosive power, want to win in chaos... Everyone, everything, exploded on this day.
Twenty years later, after Chris Martin appeared on the major performance stages around the world as the lead singer of Cool Play, he had seen countless big scenes and became a new representative force of British rock. But he still remembered that day clearly in his memory:
It was September 26, 1996, a normal Thursday. Early in the morning, countless young people from major cities took to the streets. There were hundreds of meters of long queues at the door of the HMV store. The teenagers with acne on their faces used their pocket money to buy a glory to death, or Oasis Band or Mariah Carey to support their idols. The grand occasion of the crowds even exceeded the opening of the Battle of the Century on September 23, almost putting the whole country in a state of fanaticism. This may be the most lively scene since the 1966 World Cup in England.
Close his eyes, Chris could still feel the scorching heat in the air, rushing towards him; the out-of-control screams and noisy discussions surrounded him from all directions; the blood in his body began to boil, and indescribable excitement and excitement were sprinting all over his body. At that time, he didn't understand what this emotion was, and it was hard to explain it. It was not until many years later that Chris understood: because on that day, he realized that he had become a member of the historical milestone and he stood at the scene of the historical moment.
It was like...it was like Woodstock, and every participant left an eternal mark in the depths of his soul.
In that year, Glory To Death and Oasis were the most popular opponents around the world, such as Manchester United and Arsenal in the Premier League, Real Madrid and Barcelona in La Liga, and the former Soviet Union and the United States during the Cold War. This was a brief and vigorous day in the history of world music, which shocked the music scene in the next twenty years.
"d.o.g,d.o.g! Oasis, oasis! Maria, Maria! d.o.g, oasis! d.o.g,d.o.g,d.o.g..." The continuous shouts were like echoes of the empty valley, echoing in the mind, like a moment preserved in the vacuum, and remained forever in the depths of the soul. Every time, as long as you close your eyes, the surging shouts would echo in your ears, "d.o.g,d.o.g..."
Chris seemed to have lost his mind, and he did roar at the top of his lungs, using every muscle and every cell in his body to convey the surging inside. The brilliant and wanton smile was permanently frozen in the long dragon at the door of the HMV flagship store on September 26, 1996, and it also became the starting point for the beginning of the dream of Cool Play Band.
Forty-three thousand pictures!
With a total of 430,000 copies of a single-day sales, the British Isles erupted on September 26, and it won the first single-day gold record sales worldwide for the "Young Volcanoes" and caused an uproar in the media in every corner of the world.
People once fantasized that the War of the Century would burst out with such terrifying energy, but they did not expect that the fourth day after the war had ushered in the real championship. After sweeping such strong sales in the first three days, the fourth day could also create a new sales high since the release of the single, and it increased by a level from 300,000 to 400,000. Even if it was described as shocking, it could not accurately express the shock in people at this moment.
The young British volcanoes truly detonated the volcano with their own practical actions, igniting sparks vigorously, igniting every corner of the British Empire land. This raging fire clearly illuminated the whole world, brought an unparalleled impact, and all languages lost their color.
What's even more terrifying is that it not only completes the explosion until death!
Oasis's "Do you know what I mean" actually exploded again with sales of 360,000 yuan on this day. This result far exceeded the data on the first day of the single release, and became the most outstanding local single in a week since the 1990s. If there is no glory to death, then Oasis is indeed rewriting the history of British music.
No one can ignore the premise of Oasis' sales of 360,000 yuan. It ushered in a strong outbreak in the first three days. Moreover, the quality of "Do you know what I mean" is far inferior to that of "Young Volcano". The saying "relying on reputation to drive sales" is completely untenable. What's more, this single is not worth mentioning compared to the excellence and success of Oasis' first two albums. This shows that on the fourth day of release, it still received 360,000 yuan, which was completely achieved by Oasis's own popularity.
This is the current power of Oasis Band in the UK.
The explosion of Glory to Death and Oasis completely made the glory of the US market a supporting role, and the main battlefield of the Battle of the Century instantly moved to the UK. People expected the confrontation between these two rock bands, but they did not expect that the Oasis, on the premise that the home court had already performed extraordinaryly, created history with a stronger attitude in the away game, and no one could predict the direction of this showdown.
If this is the case, then the quality of the Battle of the Century will definitely weaken a lot. Maria, as the Iron Triangle, is not to be outdone. "Sweetheart" really burst out all her energy on this day and won 310,000 in one go! A full 310,000! Although the data cannot compare to Glory until death, the gap with Oasis is not very obvious, which once again proves that Maria's current status as a queen of diva is comparable to that of Whitney Houston.
Maria swept away the haze of the previous three days and proved her popularity and strength with a sales of 310,000 yuan per day. She fought back against people's complaints about Maria, regaining her competitiveness in the British market, which also brought the intensity of the War of the Century to a higher level.
The intensity of the British war zone is far beyond people's imagination. "430,000 vs 360,000 vs 310,000", the answer to the first day of the century war in the United States has pushed this lively show to a new height again. Almost all media were shocked: When did the British market have such a strong appeal? When did Honor have such a huge fan base in the UK until its death?
Everyone knows a fact that the United States, Japan and the United Kingdom are the three most important music markets in the world, but among them, the United States is the leader; although Japan is very repulsive to foreign music, the sales ability of local musicians is not inferior to that of the United States. In many cases, in the global sales competition, the United States and Japan can be regarded as a two-dragon snatcher. The United Kingdom can firmly rank third, but rarely can truly join the top competition.
Even the peak rock bands such as the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, and the Queen were able to have such a strong influence around the world because they were sought after in the United States, rather than because they were recognized locally in the United Kingdom.
However, in this battle of the century, the excellent performance of the British market outperformed the American market. In addition to the first-day sales, in the following days, the sales of British singles continued to soar. Its instant explosive power allowed people to clearly see the huge enthusiasm hidden deep in this land that was crazy because of rock.
In fact, people only know one thing but not the other. If we are in terms of average level and overall strength, then the UK is naturally not as good as the United States and Japan; but if we are in terms of instant explosive power and the best level in history, then the UK does have the ability to challenge Japan, especially the single sales.
The first single with sales exceeding 500,000 per week appeared in the US market until this year, which was only this week. However, the single with sales exceeding one million per week has double digits so far in the UK.
As of September 1996, the champion of the single-week single sales rankings of the British music market was the single "Do they know it's Christmas now?" released in 1984. The single was recorded by Miz Youre (Miss.ure) and Bob Gildof). It invited dozens of celebrities to form the band.aid band, a charitable fundraising song written by the Ethelbian famine from 1983 to 1985.
This single was released on Christmas Eve in 1984. It achieved sales of nearly two million in a single week, with a final sales of up to 3.7 million. This is not only the most outstanding single in British music history, but also the most top-selling single in the world.
In addition, Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" (Bohemian Rhapsody), Paul McCartney's single "Mull.of.kintyre" (Mull.of.kintyre)" (Mull.of.kintyre) from the movie "Grea" (Grea" ("You're What I Want" ("The.one.that.i.want)" ("Boney.m)' ("Babylon" ("Babylon" ("Babylon" ("Babylon" ("Babylon" ("Babylon" ("Babylon" ("Babylon" ("Babylon" ("Babylon" ("Babylon" ("Babylon" ("Babylon" ("Babylon" ("Babylon" ("Babylon" ("Babylon" ("Babylon" ("Babylon" ("Babylon" ("Babylon" ("Babylon" ("Babylon" ("Babylon" ("Babylon" ("Babylon" ("Babylon" ("Babylon" ("Babylon" ("Babylon" ("Babylon" ("Babylon" ("Babylon" ("Babylon" ("Babylon") ("She Loves.kintyre)" ("Babylon" ("Babylon" ("Babylon" ("Babylon" ("Babylon" ("Babylon") ("She Loves.inducing)" ("Babylon)" ("Babylon" ("Babylon" ("Babylon" ("Babylon" ("Babylon") ("She Loves.inducing)" ("Babylon" ("Babylon") ("Babylon" ("Baby
It can be said that the land of Britain has also shown its glory, and its explosive power in a short period of time is no less than that of Japan. Judging from the current form, after the War of the Century rewritten the history of the United States, it also caused storms in the British market, and the history of Britain will be rewrited next!
