If you look at the history of the US Billboard, there are countless works that have been aired on the top of the album rankings in the first week, and many artists can even aired on the top of the album rankings in the first week of their first album release; however, there are only a handful of works that have been aired on the top of the single rankings in the first week.

The reason is the difference between the nature of the album and the single. Americans are used to buying albums. The first week is the explosion of album sales. After that, sales gradually showed a decreasing trend, so many albums can be airborne the Billboard champion in the first week; but the singles are different. People are more accustomed to hearing singles from the radio station, and then choosing their favorite singles and buying them one after another. Therefore, many singles are on the chart for several weeks, or even more than ten weeks later. This is a very normal phenomenon. For example, "Makarena", which was popular in the United States not long ago, only reached the Billboard singles rankings after being released thirty-three weeks ago.

Therefore, there are so many albums that have been airborne champions, but the singles that have been airborne champions have only five songs as of 1996. The "Beautiful Day" of glory to death, Michael Jackson's "You Are Not Alone", Whitney Houston's "Exhausted", Mariah Carey and Boy Man's "Sweet Day" of glory to death, and the "Young Volcanoes (Induced G.volcanoes)" of glory to death.

Now, the number of singles that have created this history to "Six". The outstanding "Sailing" has won a warm response from the entire market under the catalysis of the ultimate showdown. Relying on the strong performance of creating a new historical record, it has been parachuted to the championship throne in the fifth week of October 1996.

What is even more incredible is that among the six airborne champion singles, Glory has occupied a full three seats until his death.

Faced with the 1.93 million "sailing" single week, the "Young Volcano" record of 1.07 million per week not long ago was completely crushed. At this moment, people's spirits have been numb. Even if there are many historical records, all this will not surprise people. But even so, the data of "1.93 million" still scared many people and started to hiccup.

Compared with the pace of "Sailing" making history, Maria and the Oasis Band are not outdone. The single "Butterfly" also swept 1.69 million in sales within a week, creating an unparalleled historical record. Following the death of glory, it landed on the runner-up of this week's Billboard singles ranking; the last "Accompanied Me" burst out with sales data of 1.64 million, and regretfully ranked third with a slight advantage. This result is undoubtedly still a historical coordinate, writing the best results of a foreign singer in the United States.

Compared with the huge difference in the album rankings, the gap in the single rankings is obviously within reach. Even the gap between "butterfly" and "sailing" is not so exaggerated that it is still believed that this is a distance that can be surpassed. Not to mention that the sales difference between "butterfly" and "accompanied me" is less than 50,000 copies. From this aspect, we can also see the intensity of the ultimate showdown, which is completely a hand-to-hand combat with bayonets.

However, no matter how excellent the performance of "butterfly" and "accompanied me" still became a foil, witnessing the unstoppable sales driving force of "sail", and also became a direct witness to the glorious data of "sail" forever engraved in history.

It is hard to imagine that in ten years, the Billboard singles rankings that can successfully win the championship with an average sales of 200,000 per week will have any single that can create the miracle of "sailing", "butterfly" and "accompanying me". In fact, although there are countless singles in Japan that sell over one million per week, and one will appear almost every once in a while; in the United States, it has never appeared again after 1996.

This shows the glory created by the three singles "Sailing", "Butterfly" and "Walking with Me".

Therefore, there is almost no doubt that the top three Billboard singles this week are ranked. Even if the radio on-demand rate in the first week of release cannot compete with other singles, the huge sales advantage is enough to change the entire ranking.

With the end of the five consecutive championships of "Young Volcanoes" in the fifth week of October, the Billboard singles rankings underwent earth-shaking changes. "Sailing", "Butterfly" and "Accompanying Me" ranked in the top three with huge advantages, while "Young Volcanoes", which had previously won the championship for five weeks, directly retreated to fourth place.

This is not an unexpected result. Although the "Young Volcano" was completely suppressed by the strong momentum of the ultimate showdown in sales and had no room for breathing, on the radio on-demand rate ranking, the "Young Volcano" still led the way with a two percentage point advantage, continuing its sweeping momentum.

In fact, thanks to the strong appeal of this week's final showdown, the sales of these three singles, "Young Volcano", "Sweetheart", and "Do you know what I mean" have all recovered, increasing the influence of the three troika to the greatest extent.

Among them, "Young Volcano" took advantage of the opportunity to win 180,000 sales, and coupled with the excellent performance of the radio on-demand rate, it still suppressed other competitors without any breathing. It can be said that if it weren't for the ultimate showdown that the eruption would have been at hand, the "Young Volcano"'s six consecutive championships were at hand, or even seven consecutive championships, and eight consecutive championships were hopeless. Considering the powerful momentum of this single, it was even more so.

But this is the reality. He ended the "Young Volcano" championship momentum by himself until his death, and defeated two powerful competitors with a sweeping posture, becoming the final winner of the first week of the final showdown.

The courage, calmness, and casualness of glory to death are enough to be admired!

More importantly, among the top five, Honor has two seats to die this week, which not only proves the sweeping momentum of Honor to die in North America, but also continues the outstanding performance since "almost famous" again; and considering that such a result happened when the ultimate showdown attracted the focus of the entire market, the two singles ranked in the top five, which is also an important recognition of Honor to die in the entire music market.

People have expected outstanding performances of glory to death, but few people dare to predict the mythical performance of glory to death so boldly.

Behind the "Young Volcano", the fifth place this week is still the ever-lasting "Macarena". This Spanish song that became popular in major nightclubs across the United States. If it weren't for the Battle of the Century, the ultimate showdown would be no big problem. At this time, even in the face of the strong performance of the ultimate showdown in the instantaneous killing of the market, "Macarena" is still high, which can be seen.

Although Celine's single "Re-owned" failed early due to the head-on collision of the Battle of the Century, thanks to the excellent quality of the single, the subsequent development momentum was very good. She ranked sixth this week. Although the ranking has declined, her overall results are still basically the same and have not been destroyed by the momentum of the ultimate showdown. Being able to achieve such results is a huge affirmation of the "Re-owned" that was born at the wrong time.

Maria's "Sweetheart" dropped from sixth place last week to seventh place. Although it fell one place, in fact, considering that the top three have replaced, "Sweetheart" actually declined openly and secretly. In particular, the entire album of "Butterfly" has been praised by music critics. Considering Maria's status as a queen in North America, it is not surprising that "Sweetheart"'s sales have rebounded.

However, it is obvious that Maria's overall momentum is still not comparable to Glory until death. "Young Volcano" ranked fourth and still leads all the singles released last week; but "Sweetheart" only ranked seventh, and finally lost.

As for Oasis, it was even less confident. "Do you know what I mean?" Although the sales rebounded with the momentum of the final showdown, and the amplitude was not small, it finally unfortunately fell out of the top ten and ranked 10th this week. From 11th to 10th, there was only one position difference, but the real effect was very different.

Among the top ten, Glory To Death and Maria each occupied two seats, but Oasis, one of the three troikas, only had one seat, and the signs of falling behind became increasingly obvious. From the Battle of the Century to the ultimate showdown, Oasis and Glory To Death showdown had almost no chance, and were completely destroyed in all aspects.

On the Billboard Singles chart in the fifth week of October, Donna Louise, Blackstreet, and Case Sweet's singles occupied the last three seats in the top ten, becoming the last member of the Billboard Rankings that have been recorded in history.

Of course, there is no doubt that the three troikas of the ultimate showdown are the absolute protagonists in the fifth week of October. From the album chart to the single chart, it has achieved a sweep, and all other works have become foils. But being able to occupy the top ten in this historic week is also a supreme honor for singers, because quietly, they have become one of the names recorded in history.

The final list of the North American Billboard's double charts was confirmed. After "Bathing in the Morning Light", Honor once again won the album and singles championship again. "Storm" and "Sailing" joined hands to top; Mariah Carey relied on the album "Butterfly" and the single with the same title, both ranked second, proving her high popularity in North America. Although the overall momentum of the Oasis Band is not only slightly inferior, "Stay at this moment" and "Accompany me" not only ranked third in the two charts, but also achieved a high level that other competitors could not reach, and their results are still worthy of commendation.
