Chapter 800 800 first single

Although no big-name singers released new albums in May and June, people did not expect that the fierce competition on the Billboard singles chart would be the four-person and the Glory to the Death.

Just like in the past ten weeks, Aisi Base and R. Kelly fought hard, the four-person "I swear" and the glorious "Don't be upset about the past (don't.look.back.in.anger)" also did not give in. Both were newcomers who released their first album in December 1993, both groups that proposed changes to the current mainstream music style of the market. Both were brand new singles just released in April. These two groups with great fate also wrote the most memorable story in 1994.

In the fourth week of May, there was no change in the top five members of the Billboard singles rankings, and they were still "I swear", "Don't be upset about the past", "label", "I will remember" and "lithium". The only changes were that "label" and "I will remember" changed positions.

But it is worth mentioning that "Don't be upset about the past" won 112,000 sales this week, which is the sales champion of this week. However, it was still because of the disadvantage of radio on-demand rate, and lost to "I swear", which is regrettable. According to the Billboard statistics staff, the results of the champion and runner-up this week were almost the same, and the champion narrowly won, which also triggered heated discussions among people.

Of course, what is more important is that since the release of "Don't be upset about the past", sales in a single week have exceeded the threshold of 100,000 for the first time.

Under such circumstances, people are more looking forward to the next development of the Billboard singles rankings, so a very rare phenomenon has emerged. Many radio programs have focused their attention on the Billboard rankings in the first week of June, which has caused extremely heated discussions, which is something that no one expected.

The reason for this situation is mainly because of the huge attention that "Don't be upset about the past" attracted after the "Stage 2" and has fermented a stronger and far-reaching influence on the entire North American continent as time goes by. Glory has further risen to death with this song, especially the death of Cote Copper has a strong stimulating effect on this situation.

"I Swear" that competes with "Don't be upset about the past", is also a very special existence. Relying on a refreshing interpretation, the tenderness and charm of the love song are brought to the extreme. The quartz cover version has even caused wider discussions than the original John Michael Montgomery, so many people think that this song is the quartz original singer.

Therefore, the competition between these two singles has also become a temporary topic in the music circle. Many radio hosts believe that this can also be regarded as a kind of musical change. "I swear" is a reinterpretation of the performance method of country music adding rhythm and blues, and "Don't be upset about the past" represents the subversion and innovation of the entire rock classic style by glory to death. The achievements of these two singles are actually a feature of the gradual diversification of the music market.

Under the gaze of the public, the rankings of the Billboard singles in the first week of June were released, which surprised everyone that the rankings of the top five this week completely replicated the order of last week, and even made people wonder if Billboard had forgotten to change the list, but there were still some changes and new faces from the sixth to tenth place, which also confirmed that this list was indeed the first week of June.

This means that the "Don't be upset about the past" with a sales high of 130,000 this week was still unable to create a new history. It can only regretfully witness the strong three consecutive championships of "I swear" and swallow the bitter fruits sourly.

"I swear" withstood the powerful impact from glory to death for two consecutive weeks, and successfully completed three consecutive championships, becoming the biggest winner in the first week of June. The four-person publicity offensive was even more like a tide.

Unlike the glory that disappeared completely after the "Four Second Stage" until death, the promotion of the four-person unit is very intensive. They can be seen in major TV programs, major radio stations, and major cities across the United States. The intensive publicity also further pushes the breadth and depth of the publicity of "I swear" to a new height, which also makes the four-person unit the most popular singer since May.

Although the promotion of the four-person one is like a bombing, the Glory to the Death without any public activity still attracted a lot of attention. In mid-April, the media first revealed that Glory to the Death is practicing for a new tour that will kick off in May.

Then "Us Weekly" broke the news. Honor was recording his second album in the Los Angeles studio at the time of death. Unfortunately, the news was not officially recognized. Henry Bloom was also ambiguous in the phone interview and did not give a definite answer. However, people remembered that EDA Records mentioned before that Honor will release its second album track during this tour, and the authenticity of this revelation from "Us Weekly" immediately rose infinitely.

Therefore, even though the glory has completely dived to death, and even if the exposure rate of the four-person group has soared, the Billboard singles rankings, "Don't be upset about the past" is still constantly breaking its own records.

In the second week of June, "Don't be upset about the past" won another 148,000 sales in a single week. Although it still witnessed the four consecutive championships of "I swear" with great regret, it still allowed people to see the increasingly wider fan base of glory until death.

You should know that "I swear" is a romantic love song that both men, women, and young and old like, while "Don't be upset about the past" is an alternative rock with a weird taste. It is really a situation that no one expected for these two singles to fight so hard to separate.

However, this week, the top five Billboard singles rankings finally changed dramatically. In addition to the top three once again being consistent, new faces appeared in the fourth and fifth places. Jenny Jackson's "When and Where/Never Stop (any.time, any.place/and.on.and.on)" came to the palace position, and the new hip-hop male singer Warren.g (warren.g) rose to fifth place with a song "regulate).

At this time, people think that the competition between "I swear" and "Don't be upset about the past" will continue to be so entangled. The former's publicity offensive is higher than the other, while the latter is still unknown, and even radio programs are not participated. Therefore, no matter how high the popularity of glory is, it is difficult to resist the strength of "I swear" in the single contest. The previous four consecutive entanglements are the best proof.

But with the arrival of midsummer, major radio stations across the United States witnessed the birth of history in the third week of June.

"Don't be upset about the past" won 170,000 sales this week, ranking first among all singles again. Although he still lost to his competitors in terms of on-demand radio rate, he relied on his huge sales advantage to win the Billboard singles rankings in the third week of June!

This means that "Don't be upset about the past" has ended the four consecutive championships of "I Swear" and has also become the first champion single that has been honored to death. It is also the feat of winning both albums and singles after "Almost Fame" won the album rankings in January.

First, the album achieved impressive sales, and then the single successfully topped the championship, which marked that it became a well-known band in the sense of Glory to Death. Previously, the debate in professional music magazines had a result: even if the dispute over Glory to Death in the future will not subside, the band did launch a second rock change in three years after 1991.

This week, when it was later became the days when the popularity of glory reached its peak, because the strength of "don't be upset about the past" just opened the first floodgate this week.

In the third week of June, "I Swear" witnessed the top of "Don't be upset about the past" in the roaring promotion of four people in one, which was really embarrassing. With the release of the movie, "I Will Remember", the single "I Will Remember", which still gained countless popularity without any publicity, once again held the third place position, allowing people to see Madonna's supreme popularity.

The reversal of "Don't be upset about the past" means that Hugo, a little butterfly, has changed history again. The eleven consecutive championships of "I Swear" ended up tragically in the fourth consecutive championships, and the romantic love song "I Swear" that caused a storm across the United States has also become the best stepping stone for glory to reach the top until death, and the best witness of all the historical rewriting.

In the fourth week of June, "Don't be upset about the past" ushered in a small ****. The sales of 163,000 not only ranked first in all singles sales again, but also surpassed "I swear" in the radio on-demand rate for the first time, winning the radio on-demand rate championship this week.

In other words, "Don't be upset about the past" has achieved a comprehensive overturn to the vigorous publicity "I swear" which is also the best testimony of the popularity of glory to death.

Of course, atlantic.records, the distribution company of the four-person album, would not think so. They emphasized that although Honor did not conduct television and radio promotion activities, Honor's second tour in the United States started in mid-May, is the best publicity for rock bands. "Don't be upset about the past" started in the third week of May, which is actually the credit for the Honor's tour.

However, these are just small details that add to the cake. "Don't be upset about the past" not only won the championship in the Billboard singles chart in the fourth week of June, but also achieved a comprehensive overtake on "I Swear". This is an indisputable fact. Two weeks ago, the four-person unit, which was also incredible because of completing four consecutive championships, was ranked second for two consecutive weeks, but the entire momentum was completely suppressed by Honor until death.
