Chapter 1121 1121 Fifteen Consecutive Championships
In the second week of June, the direction of the Billboard singles chart attracted countless eyes, and people were wondering whether "Wonderwall" continued its glory or "Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman" completed its inversion. attack.
The rise of glory to death is too legendary, even more magnificent than Hugo's acting career of the past three years, two albums in two years, and two singles with double-digit championship weeks in one year. The song has set off an unprecedented bloody storm in the entire music market, which reminds people of the scene when rock and roll first hit the traditional music market 30 years ago.
When everyone was comparing Glory to the Dead with Nirvana, they suddenly discovered that before they knew it, Glory to the Dead had reached a height that was unattainable for rock and roll in the past two decades. The Heads are on a par - though not the Beatles at their peak.
It can be said that one small step in glory to death is one giant leap for the whole alternative rock. From "Beautiful. Day" to "The Wall," Glory to Die's glory on the billboards is vital to the entire music market.
Therefore, the weekly trend of "Lost Wall" has touched the hearts of countless people.
After the Billboard Singles Chart was released in the second week of June, the Los Angeles Times ran the headline, "Eleven! Glory to Brian Adams!"
"The Wall" once again narrowly beat "Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman", further increasing his consecutive championship weeks to eleven. This result almost makes the whole alternative rock circle celebrate with bullets, whether they like to die for glory, whether they still despise it to die for glory, whether they mock the kitsch and business of Die for Glory, but they have no way to deny one thing: The Glory to Death success proved to everyone that their dreams can support their own survival.
Unless you are willing to just treat the band as a hobby, don't expect to rely on the band to support yourself. Otherwise, no one can ignore the achievement of Glory to Death. It was as if no one could deny the power of Nirvana at first.
Facing the menacing Brian, Glory to the Dead performed exceptionally well this time, completing the suppression for three consecutive weeks. He was stunned that the king of the wind and the rain was only one line away from the championship, but he still could not achieve this surpassing. This is really true. Helpless.
Although the "New York Post" still insists that the singles chart has always been unpredictable, a single called "Red Red Wine (Red. Red. Wine)" in 1988 won the number one after 25 weeks on the chart. A feat, this is also the record for the longest time since Billboard entered the charts to win the number one, but in addition, there are not a few singles that won the number one after entering the chart for more than 20 weeks, and it is impossible to count on one hand. Therefore, Brian still hopes to rely on his strong appeal to complete the transcendence in the next few weeks.
However, the "New York Post" statement is lacking in confidence, because everyone knows that "The Wall" has won the championship for 11 consecutive weeks. The later it is, the more difficult it is to win the championship. Stop winning the championship. Therefore, "Have you ever really loved someone" is not a feat even if it has surpassed it later.
On the contrary, in the tenth and eleventh weeks after its release, "The Wall" withstood the impact of "Have you ever really loved someone?" in the second and third weeks of its release. This is the real Powerful data. More importantly, Brian Adams is a top singer who is enough to compete with Madonna, and even the "New York Post" has no way to pick on the frontal victory this time.
Now, the entire music market is paying attention to the sales trend of "The Wall". In order to support this single to create history, many rock fans even took the initiative to go to the record store to buy "The Wall", just hoping to become a record maker. As a member, it continued the strong momentum of alternative rock after the Grammys.
In the third week of June, "Lost Wall" once again withstood the pressure and completed the 12th consecutive championship! "Have You Ever Really Loved Someone?" regretted Juya again. It was released for four weeks. It was the third place in the first week, and the momentum was fierce.
In the fourth week of June, "The Wall" struggled to complete the thirteenth consecutive championship with an incredible radio on-demand rate!
According to the feedback from the staff of the bulletin board points statistics, this week, "Have You Ever Really Loved Someone?" has surpassed its opponents in terms of sales. After three months of hot sales, the sales of "Lost Wall" have shown a significant downward trend this week. After all, the cumulative sales of this single have passed the threshold of 2 million, and the decline in momentum is inevitable.
For reference, "Beautiful. Day" last year's year-end total sales of 2.66 million, this achievement was created in nearly five months. After a horizontal comparison, the sales data of "The Wall" in the same period is far ahead of the single that is regarded as an absolute classic by countless music critics.
Although the physical sales of "The Wall" was overtaken by its opponents this week, the advantage of "The Wall" is almost unshakable in terms of radio on-demand rate. This single has become the most popular on-demand single on the US radio station. The on-demand rate of every time slot of the day remains high, and even a rural radio station received a request for on-demand "bewildering wall", making the host dumbfounded.
In the end, "The Wall" won the title with a very slight advantage, and it was only one step away from the fourteen consecutive championships of "A Beautiful Day" and "I Will Always Love You". The gap between the "one-week champion" is like a moat.
This time, not only the "New York Post", but more than half of the media have already lamented that the possibility of "The Wall" setting a new historical record has become less and less likely, not only because of the strength of competitors and "The Wall" "The decline of its own momentum is also due to the terrible and difficult historical records. Everyone knows that even ten consecutive championships is extremely difficult, let alone "fourteen weeks".
Although the media are not optimistic about the prospects of "The Wall" next week, it is generally believed that the opportunity of Brian Adams has come, and the next week may be a good opportunity to change the dynasty. Except for Brian, he has already climbed to the third runner-up position unknowingly. The boy-boy group's latest single, "Water. Runs. Dry," is also a big threat, as are the Jackson siblings, who debuted at No. 5 this week - Michael and Janet Jackson for the film "William" The theme song "Scream/Childhood" sung by "Free. Willy. 2" is also a strong contender for the championship.
But the media was still amazed at the thirteen consecutive championships of "Lost Wall". At the time of the album's release, "The Wall" was the last song on the track list and barely caught anyone's attention, but it's a miracle that it's making such a big splash now.
In the first week of July, the Billboard singles chart was once again in the spotlight, and when people were looking at the number one spot, "The Wall" was in sight again, which was almost Countless people were shocked.
