Chapter 1681: 1681 Afternoon Outbreak
The first-day sales volume and even the first-week sales volume are the hot topic, popularity, fan support, and sales explosion. Everyone knows this fact. Because professional music reviews and fan feedback take a period of precipitation and fermentation before they can gradually play a role. These comments and opinions determine the durability of sales; and on the first day, sales in the first week require explosive power.
This is also the reason why Maria and Oasis are extremely popular on the first day. Sony Columbia Records and Creative Records clearly know that the first week of the sale is a momentum. They may not be able to compete with the talented glory to the death in absolute strength, but relying on Maria and Oasis's own support rate, they can still seize the commanding heights.
The reason why the War of Century became the "War of Century" and entered the grandest showdown before the 21st century is that Maria, Oasis and Glory are at its peak until its death. The fans support is comparable, and the popularity and heat of discussion are even at the same time. Therefore, in the sales showdown on the first day and the first week, anyone has the qualification and ability to win, and no one is the weak.
The sales data on the morning of the 28th also proved this. Maria won the lead, and Glory was in a tough battle with the Oasis Band until her death.
The first batch of music reviews from professional media praised the "storm" of glory to death, but even the "first batch of music reviews" really affect the market trend and the choice of music fans, it still takes time to settle down. Therefore, the sales competition on the afternoon of the 28th is still full of countless suspense.
However, it is worth mentioning that before the sun could rise above the head on the 28th, the secret about the "Storm" album had already spread among the surging fans. One is that the "B side" of the album was full of surprises. Although only a small number of people got the exact news, the news that the B side chose to record in the outdoor recording studio spread among reporters, causing an uproar; the other is that there was a special surprise at the end of the album. Unfortunately, the news about the "Hidden track" was still tight, and no news leaked, but it aroused more curiosity.
The press conference for launching a new album by EDA Records was actually a last resort. On the one hand, they did plan to use a tour instead of the promotional itinerary because they believed in the concert live ability of Honor to the Death; on the other hand, they were slightly underprepared because of the hot reaction of the concert market. As a result, before the press conference for Honor to the Death to the Death to the Death to the Death to the Death, the news about "storm" had already exploded.
The mysterious aura surrounding the album "Storm" not only did not disappear with the album's release, but became increasingly strong. This "three albums" that have gathered countless focuses were already very much anticipated. Now that the secrets are revealed bit by bit, it makes fans feel itchy. They wish they could buy the album early, so they could open this Pandora's box as soon as possible, and see for themselves what kind of work they would offer after two years of Glory's death.
The San Francisco Chronicle's comment on the morning of the 28th is right: "Storm" albums are available for purchase at any time, but tickets to the "Storm" world tour will no longer be available if you miss it.
Although on the 28th, only San Francisco, Portland and Seattle launched concert tickets; however, enthusiastic fans appeared in major cities, asking EDA Records and Live Country to release concert tickets in advance. In fact, they achieved their goals. In the end, Live Country quickly agreed to the fans' request, and the tickets for the sale were sold were sold out within just a few hours.
Therefore, after the tickets were purchased, the young volcanoes gathered at the entrance of major record stores quickly added a fire to the bustling scene of the city. This also caused the afternoon sales frenzy to set off an unparalleled wave of heat, even far exceeding the madness of the morning, making this Monday at work very lively. Even the white-collar workers sitting in the office could not feel at ease.
Even the major financial and securities elites on Wall Street couldn't help but open their mouths when they saw the exaggerated queues on the street outside the window. They couldn't believe that the small "album" would actually cause such a scene. The so-called "ultimate showdown" could not be compared to a transaction of tens of millions of dollars per second. They could only be regarded as playing house for children. But now it seems that the commercial value and economic benefits contained in the entertainment industry are far beyond imagination, which shocked them a little, and they also rarely gossip and discuss it when they met in the tea room.
After twelve o'clock at noon, the craze continued until late at night at 9 o'clock in the evening. The major record stores closed one after another, and sold them continuously for nine hours. However, the long queues at the door were still not relieved at all, and many people still failed to buy their favorite albums as soon as possible.
According to incomplete statistics, more than 1.23 million people lined up at the door of the record store within three hours in the morning; and this set of data not only did not decrease in the afternoon, but on the contrary, there was an upward trend, including the mobile population. Within nine hours in the afternoon, more than 1.8 million people joined the queues on the scene in the top ten cities in the United States.
Fox TV once again produced a live news program live broadcast on the spot. They conducted a sample survey and interviewed more than 300 fans in major cities. The results show that the proportion of young volcanoes in major cities such as New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston exceeded 40%, while the fans of Maria and Oasis are comparable. Some cities have more Maria and some have more Oasis.
Obviously, as the San Francisco Chronicle expected, young volcanoes are coming from behind. But the question is: Can they enter the record store and buy their own supported albums within today?
Looking at the winding waiting team outside the door, some record shop owners even thought about whether they would just open all night. But in the end, because the plan was too hasty, they were worried that there would be problems in the middle of the night and still could not be executed. The record shop still closed and stopped business. So many late-arriving fans stayed at the door of the record shop, preparing to stay here all night. When the door opened the next day, they immediately entered the store to rush for purchases.
This is the real ultimate showdown. Even the first battle of the century is far less than that, the album's weight and weight are fully demonstrated, and the fierce competition between the iron triangles has reached an unprecedented height. Such a grand occasion is not only unique in music history, but it can be foreseeable that it may not be seen in the future music market.
The American Recording Industry Association rushed to work overnight that night to start counting the data of major record stores. The "morning sales record" released at noon actually triggered such a shocking effect. I have personally felt the huge influence of this ultimate showdown. Now that the full-day sales volume on October 28th is about to be announced, the winner of the first phase of the final showdown, the staff of the American Recording Industry Association have begun to be excited.
Ed Simpson (ed.pseudompson) was a little nervous at this time. The envelope he held in his hand was trembling slightly, revealing his inner excitement and excitement. He is the media spokesperson of the American Recording Industry Association. Facing the media can be said to be his daily life, and there is no need to be nervous at all, but at this moment, he is actually nervous.
Because Ed clearly knows the weight of the envelope in his hand, this is the moment of changing history. He and everyone in the world are witnessing this miracle moment and witnessing the creation of music history with their own eyes. Now, Ed finally realized the nervousness of the award presenters at the Oscars. It’s not that they don’t have enough experience, but because they know what the envelope in their hand means.
"Let's invite, Ed Simpson!" The voice of host Mike Wallace (Ke. Wallace) came, and then there was a not-sounding but neat applause from the scene. Ed instantly felt all his eyes focus on him. This not only did not relax him, but his muscles became tense more and more.
This is the live broadcast of "Sixty Minutes (60. Fans Nutes). "Sixty Minutes" produced and broadcast by CBS TV is no exaggeration to say that it is the most important program in the United States. It is not only the longest broadcast program in the history of American TV's prime time, but also ranks among the top ten in the ratings for 22 consecutive years. It has even become the highest ratings in the United States five times, and has always ranked high in the prime time with the highest broadcast rate in the United States, and is also one of the most Emmy Awards awards.
As a news program, the height reached by "Sixty Minutes" can definitely be said to be unprecedented and unparalleled.
In fact, "Sixty Minutes" is a program led by a group of elderly people. The average age of the production team is generally between 35 and 45 years old. Therefore, they have had quite rich experience in journalism before entering the column and are all very outstanding journalists. Otherwise, they would not be able to do the job of this column. This is already a tradition of "Sixty Minutes".
Therefore, there is no doubt that the news events that can be reported in "sixty minutes" are absolutely extraordinary and have attracted the attention of the American middle class and young and middle-aged people.
The program "Sixty Minutes" is divided into three parts, each part is a story, which is interviewed by a reporter and tells the whole story in a series. Occasionally, "Sixty Minutes" will also report major entertainment events, such as Grammys, Oscars and other activities, but not any turmoil in the entertainment industry can enter the "Sixty Minutes" eye. This is a prime time, not morning news.
The previous century battle was not valued by the "Sixty Minutes", but this time it was different. The sensation of the ultimate showdown was far beyond imagination. The fact that more than two million people in the United States on the 28th day alone was enough to shock the "Sixty Minutes".
