Chapter 645 645 Sales Soaring

The colorful world of Vanity Fair always makes people lose their direction, which made Hugo lose confidence for a while, not only because he witnessed the process of others losing themselves, but also because he almost lost it several times. But fortunately, there is always hope waiting at the corner of life, and his partners who are glorious to death persevere with their beliefs.

This is the true glory to death. Hugo, Neil, Fokin, Pedro, and Alfonso formed a community. They are partners who fight side by side. The road to fame and fortune is always full of countless ups and downs, and the road to dreams is full of thorns, so they must stand firmly by each other in order to gain the strength to continue.

Glory rejects Grammys to death, not because other rock bands think that Grammys are too commercial and Glory does not exclude business until death. On the contrary, Hugo knew very clearly that art without commercial support will soon die out. Although Grammys are commercial, it is precisely because of its wide influence that many unknown outstanding musicians have taken to the big stage and also allowed many ordinary people to appreciate the charm of music. Therefore, there is no need to condemn Grammys' business, even after the Grammys declined in the 21st century.

Glory rejects Grammys until death because they do not receive their corresponding respect, just like Nirvana's "Don't Mind" deserves to win the 34th Grammy Best Alternative Music Album Award. This is the correct sequence. Therefore, Glory will not compromise until death because this is an unacceptable compromise. Such compromise is equivalent to self-denial from glory until death, and is equivalent to denying one's own musical value.

Therefore, glory made a choice until death, just like the band's rock spirit, either glory or death. This time, they chose to give up the glory of the Grammy and insist on the glory belonging to the band.

Perhaps, glory will pay a heavy price for this until death, maybe it will always miss the Grammy’s Newcomer of the Year Award, maybe it will never get the Grammy’s direct eyes like Nirvana and Pearl Sauce, or even the band will disappear into the music industry like a meteor... But this is life. At the fork in the road, you must make a choice, and then you must go on without looking back. Only by sticking to yourself can you not lose yourself.

Nathan looked at the five members of Honor to Death who suddenly started playing. Even the serious expression of Fujin smiled. He suddenly felt that this scene looked really warm and harmonious. Although Honor to Death had been in front of everyone for more than half a year, it had been since July, but perhaps until now, everyone has really begun to gradually understand the charm of this band.

Nathan just laughed like this. He felt that it was not a big deal not to attend the Grammy. This is true. There are countless big names in history who are unwilling to attend the Grammy. Even the Oscars have refused to attend. Whether Woody Allen and Malone Brando have ever attended the awards.

"I think, I probably know why Neil is the captain." Nathan smiled and broke everyone's joy, causing all five to look at him, "because he is the only one who is willing to take care of trivial matters."

"Hahahaha..." Pedro applauded first and expressed his support for Nathan with practical actions, while Neil sat next to him with a black line.

"Although it would be more appropriate to play 'don't.look.back.in.anger' at this time, as the lyrics say, 'Please don't waste your youth in rock bands, they will only make you sink day by day', this is the greatest charm of the Glory to Death band; but I want to play another song from Glory to Death now, 'lithium', not because it is the third song on the on-demand chart this week, and because this song can clearly see the stubbornness and wantonness of Glory to Death bands, so let's enjoy this song together, brought from Glory to Death, 'lithium'."

Nathan skillfully introduced the song "Lithium" began to ring in front of every listener who listened to the kiis radio. "I am so happy because today, I have found my friends, and they are in my head..." Hugo's textured voice flowed out in front of countless radios like mercury.

Although the album "Almost Fame" has been released for nearly seven weeks, they are still a new band and their awareness still needs to be improved. Today, Honor To Death on Kiis Radio discussed the recent hot topic: Is the band really not attending the Grammy Awards? It undoubtedly made more listeners truly realize the band.

Glory is controversial because their music breaks the shackles of rock, and is criticized for its commerciality and popularization. Maybe they don’t sneer at business, sneer at Grammys like other rock bands, and talk nonsense. Maybe they don’t express themselves in shocking dress like other rock bands, maybe they are not as cynical and fierce as other rock bands, but in fact, the rock spirit in Glory’s bones has never been corrupted. They are definitely an authentic rock band.

When Kiis Radio ended, the awareness of Honor to Death climbed to a new height again, especially in the recent wave of "confrontation with the Grammy", Honor to Death has once again become a topic of the people at the forefront. This is undoubtedly a very important work for the promotion of singles and albums, and even triggered speculations that a small number of media believe that the band is maliciously hyping, but these speculations are harmless and still cannot stop the single "Lithium" from rising rapidly on the Billboard singles rankings.

The day after the Kiis radio program was broadcast, the daily sales of "Lithium" reached 15,000 copies, which also created the highest sales after the release of the single, and finally achieved 90,000 sales in a week, climbing to the fifth place in the Billboard singles ranking this week, and everyone's performance shines.

The competition for the Billboard singles rankings in the third week of January was very fierce. Brian Adams, Sting and Rod Stewart joined forces to create an interlude for the movie "The.three.mketeers" for the movie "all.for.love" won the championship for three weeks at the beginning of its release in November 1993. After nearly two months of precipitation, it rose again this week and counterattacked to the championship throne.

Mariah Carey's classic track "Hero" has been the runner-up after winning the championship for four weeks. This single is also known as the most memorable single in Maria's music career, and has achieved unimaginable achievements.

Donnie Blyston's latest single, "Breathe.again", which is a powerful alternative to the Newcomer of the Year, still performed very well, and has been in the third place for many consecutive weeks. Jenny Jackson's single "Breathe again" released late last year still maintained its performance in the palace.

"Lithium" that is glorious to death is behind these four singles, occupying the fifth place this week, and its performance is very impressive. From this we can see the importance of radio program promotion.

In the following week, the sales of "Lithium" climbed up again, achieving sales of 120,000 in a single week, further reaching the fourth place in the Billboard rankings, only one step away from the top three. After staying in the fourth place for two weeks, Lithium achieved a major breakthrough and rose to the third place with sales of 140,000 in a single week, which further spread the popularity of Honor to the United States.

During this period, the competition on the Billboard singles rankings has been relatively weak. After "Only Love" completed three consecutive championships; Celine Dion covered the 1984 classic song "The.power.of.love", which pushed the song to a new height, won the championship all over the world, and sang the song.

Subsequently, the electronic dance single "The.private gn" from Sweden's national treasure-level popular group Ace.of.ba, and the single "Bump.n'.g day" from Chicago's R&B King R.Kelly took turns to dominate. After four consecutive championships of "label", "Crack Friction" won four consecutive championships, and then "label" counterattacked two consecutive championships. The championship battle between the two continued until late May.

Among them, the performance of "Lithium" has always been very steady. The sales of this single has always been stable at around 100,000. In the last three weeks of February and the first two weeks of March, they have been ranked third for five consecutive weeks. Unfortunately, they lack some explosive power, so they have not been able to go further. But even so, achieving the third place in five consecutive weeks is the greatest affirmation of the single "Lithium".

After the decline in the third place position, the stamina of "Lithium" has not been greatly weakened, especially with the absence of Honor until death after the end of the Grammy, Nirvana's band returned empty-handed again, which also awakened people's remembrance and injustice for the golden age of 1993. It is also worth the sales of "Lithium" singles that have been very stable, and they remained in the top five until late May.

Before May ended, the cumulative sales of "Lithium" singles had already crossed the threshold of one million. In addition to being certified by the American Recording Industry Association, it also increased its sales to 1.3 million, which is likely to occupy a position in the year-end single sales rankings in 1994.

The single "Lithium" still achieved such gratifying results without sufficient audience accumulation and publicity, which is a rare victory; but what is even more rare is that the widespread dissemination of "Lithium" has driven the recognition of the album's "almost famous", which triggered an amazing development curve after the album's sales entered 1994.
