Chapter 1689 1689 Troika

On October 28, the North American music market, "Stay Now" sold 470,000, "Butterfly" won 500,000, and "Storm" swept 660,000. The Iron Triangle worked together to push the grand occasion of the ultimate showdown to the peak, and even pushed the music market fanaticism since September to a new extreme. But everyone knows that this is just the beginning, and the sales of these three albums can determine their respective status in history.

Should we continue to have a strong position? Or will we plummet? Or will the trend be stable and mediocre? No one can predict the subsequent development trend. In fact, the reason why the three troikas can make this ultimate showdown the focus of global attention is because the popularity, discussion and topic between the three are equally matched, and no one can be sure that they will win. Therefore, after the strong outbreak on Monday, no side fell behind in the Iron Triangle!

Tuesday and Wednesday followed, and Monday's grand occasion continued. Especially after many major record stores opened on Monday, fans who were not even able to enter the record store reluctantly chose to stay in the record store and waited all night long, which made the North American mainland still filled with a fanatic atmosphere on Tuesday.

"Storm and Storm" once again handed in a phenomenal report card on Tuesday, with sales of more than 494,000 copies per day. This is no longer just a myth, it can be called a heaven-defying myth. Even though the whole United States only watched the "Monday" that shook ancient and modern times through "Sixty Minutes" the night before, seeing the brilliant report card on Tuesday, it inevitably broke its chin.

It is no exaggeration to say that compared to the sales volume of 660,000 on the first day, the "storm" can actually earn 490,000 again the next day, which is even more amazing. Because multiple factors such as the decline, impact, total fans, and market capacity must be taken into account.

However, the next day's score of "storm" can almost be said to break all inertia patterns. The score is not only better than the first day of "staying here", but also not inferior to the first day of "Butterfly". This score cannot be described even with the most gorgeous and exaggerated words. Only numbers that are as iron as numbers, cruel and ruthless, and cannot lie, convey this shock.

Supported by the undisputed absolute strong performance for two consecutive days, "Storm" has become the only album in North American music history. The sales exceeded one million in just two days! The sales volume in two days is 1.16 million, and it is easy to get the platinum certification!

"Storm of Storm" not only became the second album in North American music history with a single week sales of over one million after the original soundtrack of "Body Guard" movie, but also exceeded the original record of 1.06 million, and became the highest sales album in history in one fell swoop. The soundtrack of "Body Guard" movie took seven days to break through the million threshold. "Storm of Storm" only took two days, and also raised the record a lot.

Such a momentum is terrifying.

No one can break this achievement from then on, even the distant future in twenty or fifty years later, is the case. Even those who can approach this achievement do not exist at all. Just like Michael Jackson's "trembling" sales of more than 100 million yuan, it will always be sealed in history and become "the legendary miracle."

Because this is a result that requires the right time, place, and people and the joint action. The "storm" appears in the exact location at the exact time, and achieves the most incredible results with an accurate posture. It can never be copied. The so-called "heroes created in the times" are probably like this.

The "butterfly" also showed the power of Maria's queen. On Tuesday, it grabbed more than 431,000 sales, and the small drop caused a burst of exclamation, even better than the "storm". It stunned the leader with the subsequent explosive power that stunned the entire market. Although the gap was further widened, it tried its best to not be further left.

"Butterfly" accumulated sales of 930,000 in two days, which is also a historical record that no one can surpass later. Just like "storm", even they themselves cannot overcome the peak, because it is difficult for them to create the second battle of the century and the second ultimate showdown.

The most incredible thing is that Oasis's "stays at this moment" actually grabbed 400,000 sales on Tuesday. Although the decline was slightly higher than Maria, its strong momentum made no one possible to ignore their existence. In every showdown in the North American market, Oasis, which played away, was obviously at a disadvantage, but in fact, not to mention the two competitors, Oasis is setting history and setting new records every time, and no one can deny the fact that they are at their peak now.

Of course, as the music critic said, the overall quality of "Stay Now" has fallen behind greatly. The influence of the three rock bands has not yet played a role. After the album's dissemination is further expanded, it is the future of Oasis. However, at least at this time, thanks to the excellence of the first two albums, fans have voted confidence to Oasis, so "Stay Now" still shows the stamina of never giving up.

"Stay Now" exploded in 870,000 sales in two days. This data has been eternally recorded in history with the ultimate showdown and the three troikas. It not only created a height that the Beatles could not reach, but also truly made British rock led by Oasis raise its recovery momentum around the world. In the long river of the future, British rock has always been an important part of rock and will last forever.

Judging from the single-day sales on Tuesday, the Iron Triangle still has no concessions, and the sales competition is getting stronger and stronger. But what is interesting is that although the "storm" performance is still strong, the momentum of "butterflies" and "stay at this moment" is definitely not weak. The daily sales gap between the three has been sharply narrowed, and at the same time, it is above the sales level of 400,000 per day, creating an unparalleled spark.

This also made the sales competition that followed Wednesday full of suspense.

Other times, the lively music market is calculated in weekly terms, but it is obviously not applicable to the ultimate showdown. This must be paid attention to every day. New situations appear almost every day, changing with each passing day, full of excitement, and also full of expectation. Now, almost everyone is looking forward to that if Maria or the Oasis can overturn glory to death, then the excitement of this ultimate showdown will rise sharply!

Sure enough, there was a change in the sales market on Wednesday that surprised everyone.

Among the limited market resources, "Storm Rain" burst out with energy that was against the sky two days ago, and after entering the third day, it fell sharply, "only" handed over 200,000 sales. Of course, such sales are still extremely outstanding for any album, and it is still enough to compete with the weekly sales of "Bathing in the morning light". Such a huge drop is normal. The North American music market is not a bottomless pit. Even the "Body Guard" soundtrack's sales in one week were only 1.06 million. "Storm Rain" is an exaggeration. But compared with the crazyness in the previous two days, today's decline is still beyond people's expectations. No matter how outstanding the vertical comparison of the "200,000" results is, it is hard to hide people's disappointment after continuous surprises.

Similarly, the two albums "Butterfly" and "Stay Now" also ushered in a huge drop of more than 45%. Although the decline was quite considerable, because the data in the previous two days was too crazy, such a drop was completely expected. It can be said that Wednesday was the first decline after two consecutive days of explosion in the North American market.

However, the overwhelming publicity momentum of Maria and Oasis finally played a role. Compared to the glory to death of staying in San Francisco to prepare for this weekend's weekend concert, Maria and Oasis were almost everywhere in every corner of the United States. The propaganda wars on both sides covered every corner of the media, from TV to radio, newspapers to magazines, civilian supermarkets to slum convenience stores. The propaganda wars on both sides are everywhere, and they are far apart from each other, and they are fighting for each other, as if the ultimate showdown is not a troika, but a two dragon snatching the pearl, occupying the focus advantage.

Relying on home court advantages, "Butterfly" grabbed 230,000 sales on Wednesday, and performed extremely well, especially considering that this is still a single-day sales and the third day of the album's release, the outstanding performance has made people speechless; "staying at this moment" has not given up, Oasis's strategy of seizing fans' attention was fully utilized, and the sales of 220,000 created the lowest drop on Wednesday, and with an extremely powerful momentum, it truly declared its presence in this ultimate showdown.

Finally, Wednesday's single-day sales rankings showed an extremely strange pattern: "butterfly", "stay at this moment", and "storm".

Honor not only lost to Maria, but also to Oasis. Although this is just the winner of the single-day sales, and the gap is too small. Among the three-day total sales, Honor still has a huge advantage and is far ahead, but this is not only the winner of the single-day sales, but also has a deeper significance:

This is the first time that Oasis Band has truly shown strong enough in this battle of the century, proving that as a representative of emerging rock forces, they are embodied in the future, leading to glory until death, and following the trend of the times; it also proves that they are qualified to be one of the three troikas, and have the ability to reverse the decline and win.

Of course, the most important thing is that Maria finally stood out and won the single-day sales championship on October 30th, and straightened her back and proved her status as a queen. At the same time, "Butterfly" and "Stay Now" also carried such a momentum, both bringing their sales to the threshold of one million. In the blink of an eye, the album with a sales of one million per week increased from "one" to "four".
