Chapter 1871 1871 The first dynasty
People have just witnessed the strong recovery of rock and roll and have seen the prototype of the rock dynasty that belongs to the glory to death. This is incredible. From "Young Volcanoes" to "Sailing" to "Long.long.way.to.go", they have won the championship for twenty-four consecutive weeks. Such a miracle is also the only part of the long river of music history. In addition, the continuous championship momentum of the album "Storm and Storm", it can be said that in the past six months, the entire North American music market has only glory to death, only glory to death.
After successfully reaching the championship, the "Long Road" did not slow down its momentum. It then won the championship for three consecutive weeks, continuing its dominance of glory to death to twenty-seven weeks. Finally, it was pulled down by the hot single "Can't.no wave dy.hold.me.down" of the bragging father, and frozen the reunion on the set of numbers "Twenty-seven".
This also created a new history of a single singer or band dominate the singles chart for weeks in the history of Billboard North America. It was not until 2009 that someone approached this historical record. Black-eyed pea's two champion singles "Black.eyed.pea" and "I Have a Premonition (i.gotta.feeling)" jointly dominated the championship list for twenty-six weeks, but unfortunately, they failed to tie or even break the glory of glory to death, and only ranked second in history.
In the second week of April, the single bragging dad ended its 27-week rule over the singles rankings. The "Rolling Stone" was called the "cornerstone of the rock dynasty" by "Rolling Stone", which has always watched glory to death, completely lowered its proud head.
Even though "The Long Road" retreated from the championship throne, the three singles "Young Volcano", "Sailing" and "The Long Road" are still hovering in the top 20. Among them, "Young Volcano" ranked in the top 10 for 26 consecutive weeks, and also set a new record. The strong performance has completely lost language.
Three singles joined forces to win 27 weeks in a row, and one album dominated 37 weeks unshakable... This is the rock dynasty created by Honor until his death in the past six months. It was halfway through 1997. Although Hugo disappeared in front of the media after the "Storm and Storm" tour, he rarely communicated with the media even during the "Los Angeles Secret" crew, he was still active in the media for a long time in this way, moving towards his dream step by step.
People are discussing when the fourth single of "Storm and Rain" will be released and whether it will be able to top the top again after its release? People are discussing whether "Storm and Rain" will take another step after its 37-week consecutive championship, is this small step a big step for the historical giant?
Therefore, at the "Fine and Perfect" opening ceremony, the reporter almost lost his composure and couldn't wait to interview Hugo, wanting to learn about his thoughts from Hugo as soon as possible, and even ignored the two entertainment giants, James and Jack who were also present.
You can accuse the reporter of being impolite, but you can't get angry. Because even people who have nothing to do with music will inevitably develop curiosity: this is the real American prosperous era since 1984, and even "Independence Day" is slightly inferior to it. After all, the box office of "Independence Day" is only twenty weeks before and after, but "storm" has occupied the focus of attention for nine months, and the brewing of rock has started with "Don't Mind" in 1992. It is worth mentioning that "Don't Mind" also set a record at this time, ranking among the top 15 in history on the Billboard Album List for 271 consecutive weeks.
But even so, when the group of people from Honor to Death arrived at NBC TV station and were preparing to record tonight's "Tonight Show", they saw the audience at the door who had blocked the entire street, and they still felt that this was too incredible. Compared to the crowds at the concert, the shocking power of this situation is absolutely no less than that, because this is not a concert, it is just an ordinary street, a street with a sense of life, but at this time the street was beyond recognition.
More than 3,000 people completely blocked the four streets around. They raised their heads and the skyscrapers around were wrapped in transparent glass. The dense heads behind the glass completely filled their sights, as if the whole world was full of people. The terrible illusion made people feel an indescribable sense of suffocation, and the heat waves ignited the air. It seemed that the Big Apple City was about to be unable to bear it and exploded.
The off-road vehicle that Honor was riding in until death almost dashed through the crowd for thirty minutes before entering the underground parking lot. Even Neil couldn't help but sigh, "This seems to be even more crazy than Maracana."
Maracana, that epoch-making moment, kicked off the rock dynasty of 1997.
This is the first time that the members of the Glory To Death band appeared collectively on the "Tonight Show". To be more precise, this is the first time that the band appeared collectively on the talk show. Before that, Honor had actually insisted on the tour route until death. Even if they participated in the show, most of them were radio programs and a few news interview programs. But this time, the media could not easily let Honor to die. Roger Fasson of Evergrande Records had been negotiating with Henry since the Grammy, which led to this "Tonight Show".
Under Hugo's introduction, the members simply greeted Jay Renault, but Jay was about to leave soon because the reporters waiting at the door could no longer hold back. After Jay left, the members of Glory to the Death walked out under the guidance of the staff. Hugo originally thought he would enter a standby room for interviews, but unexpectedly, he entered the studio directly. Hugo couldn't help but be stunned.
Neil looked carefully, was stunned, and whispered, "All these are reporters?" The tone seemed to say: Are these people crazy?
I saw more than 300 people sitting in the audience, but it seemed that none of these more than 300 people were listeners, but they were all reporters. In this situation, even the largest press conference was not so sensational, and there were still many staff members on both sides of the audience. The NBC TV crew even turned on the camera, hoping to record this historical moment.
This scene reminds people of Michael Jackson's "trembling" back then.
Hugo thought this was a bit ridiculous. He never dared to hope that his music works could be compared with Michael. Putting aside the sales record of "Trumping" of 104 million, the inspiration of this album to the entire music industry and the transformation of the entire pop music were unimaginable. But now... he really felt that powerful force that could not be stopped.
But in fact, aside from the historical status, the current sales data of "Storm and Rain" still has a big gap between the "Thunch" and the social impact. Hugo did not feel at all that "Storm and Rain" can be compared with "Thunch". Therefore, looking at the surging crowds in front of him, Hugo has an indescribable sense of play, which is a bit funny, a bit ridiculous, a bit flattered, and a little inexplicable.
Five members of Honor until death stood in front of the audience, each holding a large microphone in their hands, and then the interview session began. "If I remember correctly, this should be a brief interview, right?" Hugo's half-joking complaint made everyone chuckle, but the reporters became shameless and were unmoved at all.
Although it was an interview with a reporter, the content was actually not very innovative, and it was a few official questions over and over again. "Does Honor expect this album to create such a historical record?" "Do you think 'storm' can surpass 'tremor'?" "How are you feeling now?" "When will the next single be released?" "Will there be a tour plan next year?" ... etc., probably asking about your experience of breaking the record.
Neil and Alfonso answered almost all the questions today. They were able to deal with these official questions. Although some questions were still towards Hugo, there was no new idea. Hugo dealt with them easily and then gave the initiative to Neil and Alfonso. Despite this, the interview was originally scheduled to be conducted for only fifteen minutes, but it was still stretched for half an hour. The reporters were still unwilling to leave. NBC TV had to force evacuate, otherwise the "Tonight Show" would not start recording later.
The reporters actually know that it is difficult to dig out the explosive points of such short news interviews. They either look forward to making an appointment for an exclusive interview, or wait for a while for a "Tonight Show", hoping that the glory can burst into sparks with Jie until death.
Jay Renault is also a little nervous today. He is very familiar with Hugo. The two of them can be said to be friends. Today's interview should not be too concerned. But Jay knows that today's "Tonight Show" is not just a talk show, but it is also the focus of everyone's attention: Glory until death is likely to create history next week, and such moments do not appear every day.
So, Jay kept cooling his brain and waiting for the show to begin.
Listening to the sound of the director counting down from the earbuds, Jie took a deep breath, then lowered his eyes and tried to relax himself. Then he raised his head as the director stopped, and a familiar smile hung on the corner of his mouth, "Not long ago, my wife and I talked about a topic, saying what we can do in a minute. Believe me, this is a very stupid topic, but the two of us started chatting with enthusiasm. We found that a minute is actually much greater than we thought."
Jie freely changed a position and said easily, "Yesterday someone talked to me about similar topics, saying what we can do within thirty-seven weeks. I originally thought that thirty-seven weeks was very long, but when I thought about it carefully, I felt it was very short, because it was less than a year, only one-seventh of my life. But today, someone told us with practical actions that thirty-seven weeks is the length of history."
