Chapter 1119 1119 Best Single

If someone told Glory to die that "Wonderwall" would become one of their most well-known singles, they'd be stunned, and Hugo would be sneered when he wrote it. , In fact, I am not very satisfied, because the lyrics are too weak, and the melody completion is not high.

Similarly, countless professionals will scoff, because by any measure, "Beautiful. Day" is the most perfect song in glory to death, and this song is definitely enough to be among the top of the 90s. The ranks of ten songs.

But history is so interesting that it gives a very different answer.

In countless statistics twenty years later, professionals and professional magazines are more fond of the song "A Beautiful Day". They believe that this song is the pinnacle of Glory to Death's early creation, from the melody to the lyrics, from the momentum. In terms of emotion, the whole completion is very full, and this song is also one of the indispensable masterpieces in the long music career of Glory to Death.

However, in the audience's voting statistics, "Good Day" not only lost to "The Wall", but also "Don't. Look. Back. In. Anger", "Lithium (Lithium)" "Regardless of Xuanyuan. The reason is that the audience does not consider the technical and creative aspects, but their own emotional factors.

In 1996, in the "Rolling Stone" poll for the most popular songs, a total of 170,000 viewers voted, and "The Wall" won the first place; in 1997, seven countries including Germany, Australia, and the United Kingdom voted. Among the most popular songs of the year, "The Wall" won the love of countless listeners and easily won the title; Song Voting", "The Wall" won the championship again; in 2010, KIIS music radio station in the United States held a poll, more than 800,000 people voted for the most popular 100 songs, "The Wall" won the unbelievable champion.

This is a result that even Glory to death did not expect.

Many people joked that "Don't be troubled by the past" made the music world know Glory to Death, "A Beautiful Day" made the music world remember Glory to Death, and "Lost Wall" really achieved Glory to Death. In this regard, Hugo can only joke, "Fortunately, these are three songs." In fact, he is laughing at himself. Nirvana was only remembered by people for one song "Youth Mind", but in fact "don't mind" There are so many great tracks on that album, at least there are "Three Songs" to Death to Glory.

In the first week of its release, "Lost Wall" sold 230,000 directly, and it landed the runner-up position on the Billboard singles chart in the second week of March. This result has already surprised countless people.

If Hugo had ever carefully studied the trend of the Billboard singles chart in the second quarter of 1995, he would have found a very interesting phenomenon: these months have been completely the pattern of your singing and me debuting.

First, Madonna's single "Take. A. Bow" dominated the No. 1 spot for seven weeks, followed by R&B stalwart Montell. Jordan's "This." Is. How. We. Do. It)" won the title for seven consecutive weeks, followed by the classic song "Have. You ever really loved a woman" by Bryan. Adams. Ever. Really. Loved. A. Woman)" won the championship for five consecutive weeks, and finally the strong rising girl group TLC won the championship for seven consecutive weeks with "waterfalls".

This went on and on from the last week of February to the third week of August, before returning to the melee.

It can be said that this is indeed a very interesting situation, from which we can also see some clues of the singles chart in 1995: the lack of a blooming situation, most of the traditional big-name singers occupy the mainstream music market - and the style of music is also All are traditional pop and rhythm and blues, the only Brian Adams is a rock singer, but he is also a representative of traditional pop rock.

Of course, Hugo didn't know anything about this pattern in history, so he naturally couldn't feel it either. After his little butterfly flapped its wings for the 37th Grammy, the entire traditional music market's Huge change.

"The Wall" directly sold 200,000 sales in the first week of its release. It landed runner-up on the Billboard Singles Chart, just below Madonna, who had won three consecutive titles this week. .

It has been nearly eight months since the release of "Bath in the Morning Light", and even more than a month has passed since "Shape. Of. My. Heart" has been on the charts intensively. It has been six months since the album, which means that after Glory to Death has almost "disappeared" in the public eye for so long, it is really scary that "Lost Wall" can still achieve such a result!

From this side, we can also see how extensive the influence of the Grammys and the new contract this time is.

It is worth mentioning that although Madonna's "Curtain Call" successfully completed three consecutive championships this week, this week's radio on-demand champion was actually "The Wall". This single leads "Curtain Call" by a huge advantage of two percentage points. , dominated the radio on-demand rate rankings, and it was only four days after the official landing of "The Wall" on the radio station.

In addition, the album "Bathing in the Morning Light" also has four other songs that made it to the top 50 of this week's radio on-demand rate. Even Nirvana's "Youth Heart" appeared on the radio rankings again after two years. within the top 100 on the list. What makes people laugh and cry is that many listeners actually think that "Youth Mind" is a song of glory to death, and they don't even know who the original singer is. Obviously, these listeners have no interest in rock or even music. When I heard this song, I thought it was good.

This is also a profile of the Grammy's huge influence.

If the achievements of "Lost Wall" only stop there, then it can't be said that it has changed the market structure, let alone achieved glory to death. Obviously, the results of the first week of release are just the beginning of the "Wall of Mystery" glory.

For two consecutive weeks, "Lost Wall" grabbed sales of 180,000 and 170,000 respectively, and continued to dominate the radio on-demand championship, but it was still inferior to Madonna's "curtain call". It has also become the witness of the "curtain call" five consecutive championships.

At this time, although the results of "Lost in the Wall" were very good, they were only "good", and some media began to scoff at the achievements of Glory to Death. There have never been many reports, so this time it was just a joke. "Last year, the glory of winning many battles to the death is obviously still too immature when facing the real Madonna, the queen of the world."

In fact, the "New York Post" is not wrong, although last year was glorious to death, the four people who fought with them were newcomers, and the boy-man group relied on "two boys, two men". The album is really among the top, and Madonna is definitely not the same level of singers. The current queen who won countless popularity with "Like. A. Virgin" in 1984, even Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey are absolute juniors in front of her. Madonna's popularity has not diminished to this day, and she is still the most popular female singer in the world.

The song "Curtain Call" created countless topics during the filming of the music video. Madonna herself arrived in the small town of Ronda in Spain, but the bullfight attracted protests from environmentalists and caused a lot of uproar. After the single was released, it won the championship with the momentum of sweeping thousands of troops, and the five consecutive championships were well deserved.

Therefore, the "New York Post" is ridiculing that Glory to Death has too little qualifications, and the foundation of popularity is not solid enough. Everything seems to be clouds and bubbles. All it takes is a gust of wind, and maybe there's nothing left.

However, the "Wall of Confusion" ushered in a blowout: the Oscars once again came to a lively end. Hugo, who did not participate in any publicity, once again ushered in a high exposure rate, and the super popularity and excellent word of mouth accumulated by "The Wall" in the previous three weeks has finally ushered in a good opportunity to explode.

In the fifth week of March, the sales of "Lost Wall" achieved an astonishing increase and achieved 510,000 sales in one breath, which not only created the highest single-week sales since 1995, but also won the radio station again. The title of the number one on-demand rate easily ended the five consecutive championships of "Curtain Call" and successfully topped the Billboard Singles Chart this week!

"The Wall" ushered in a full-scale explosion in the fourth week after its release. The sales volume of 100,000 in a single Friday is in the top three in any year. Such an outstanding result is not only a single single before the death of glory. Songs have not achieved, and other singers who have achieved such achievements can be counted on one hand. Just this week's brilliance is enough to make everyone admire the popularity of Glory to Death.

What's more, it was Madonna who was defeated by Glory to Death.

In addition, the powerful explosion of "The Wall" has also led to the sales of other singles of "Bath in the Morning Light", and "Beautiful Day" and "Shape. Of. My. Heart" also both returned to the top ten. , again repeating the feat of Glory to Die's top ten in the singles chart with three spots.

Unbelievably, "The Wall" took only four weeks to bring its cumulative sales to 1,090,000, which also surpassed "A Beautiful Day" and became the fastest single to reach platinum certification. This also gave people an initial glimpse of the endless style of this song that made the top band of glory to death.

The major record companies could not help but sigh, EMI Records really has a good hand, and the new album of Glory to Death has not yet had a charter, and EMI Records has already made a lot of money.

Aside from "The Wall", there were other points of discussion this week, with the names of three alternative rock bands Green Day, Sound Garden, and Nine Inch Nails appearing in the top 20 of the Billboard singles chart. , this is an unprecedented situation!
