Chapter 1285 1285 Four Singles

While Hugo is the worthy leader of today's additional influence, in April of this year, Michael Jackson became a unique center of focus, and the Chandler family's confession returned Michael's innocence, adding to the reality of the farce more than 20 months ago. Draw an end.

Uranus superstar Michael Jackson, after successfully clearing his grievances, released his new album "History", the most expensive and largest publicity campaign in history, which lasted from May to September, announcing Michael's return.

"History" broke the record for the album "Dangerous" with 600,000 sales in its first week of release, easily landing at number one on Billboard. However, from this sales figure, we can still see the negative impact of the incident. You must know that the first week sales of "Bath in the Morning Light" were astonishingly 700,000, and there is still a certain gap between the "historical" results. Although everyone knew that Michael was innocent and that he had wronged an innocent person, his inner guilt, shame, regret, as well as his unwillingness to admit his mistakes, and his stubbornness had all had an impact on album sales.

Fortunately, at least the grievances were washed away, which is a good thing. Facts have also proved this. The follow-up momentum of "history" is very brave, which also neatly overlaps with the original "dangerous" sales curve.

"History" kicked off Michael's comeback with five consecutive No. 1s on the U.S. Billboard Albums Chart, but the lead single "Scream" failed to get a popular response, and the single still won Brilliant sales, but the radio on-demand rate was not even able to squeeze into the top ten, so it missed the Billboard singles championship, and the best result was only the fourth place in a week.

The failure of "Scream" was taken seriously by Sony Records, and Tom Strickler's first real demonstration of his outstanding ability as a manager was negotiated for the second single "You Are Not Alone" It was officially released just four weeks later.

"You're Not Alone" quickly gained popularity due to its excellent quality. In addition to its gratifying sales, the radio demand rate also rose rapidly. It officially topped the Billboard singles chart five weeks after its release. Won three consecutive championships. In the face of the menacing "apology" this week, although "You Are Not Alone" is far behind in sales, it still relies on the strong radio on-demand rate to complete the four consecutive championships!

Meanwhile, Michael's tour titled "History" is in full swing.

The trajectory of history has quietly changed. Not only has Michael cleared his grievances, but his health has not suffered major problems. This has allowed the "History" global tour to unfold smoothly and continues to make history; while new albums and singles They also achieved results that matched Michael's. Under Tom's oppression, Sony Records did not repeat the same mistakes.

So, the first week of September is really meaningful, not only with the participation of Michael and Glory to Death, but also the classic "Kiss of the Rose" and "Gangster Paradise", which also makes the Billboard competition even more interesting.

In the following week, the on-demand radio stations accompanied by "Apologize" gradually began to rise, and the competitiveness of Glory to Death gradually began to show its power.

"Apologize" won 190,000 sales this week, which is a little lower than the sales data in the first week, but the decline is very gratifying. More importantly, the radio on-demand rate has exploded with great energy, not only directly breaking into the top ten name, and came to third place in one fell swoop, which is terrifying for a single that was only released into its second week.

Whether it is a radio host, a young volcano, or other ordinary listeners, the upsurge of support for "apology" is directly and vividly reflected in the data on the radio's on-demand rate. Under such promotion, the competitiveness of "apology" has also been further developed.

In the end, the top five for the second week of September were the same familiar faces, the same five singles from last week, but with some changes in their rankings.

"You're not alone" showed Michael's high popularity, and successfully completed five consecutive championships, while "Gangster Paradise" relied on its high popularity to withstand the impact of competitors and continued to win the runner-up, which also made Kuo a success. The first peak of Leo's singer career; "Apologize"'s sales this week fell slightly, but relying on the advantage of radio on-demand rate, it rose to the third place; "Kiss of the Rose" slipped to the third place, but the gap with the former is not the same. Big, the stamina is still strong; "Waterfall" sticks to the fifth place without any change.

In the third week of September, the top five remained unchanged. The only difference was that "Gangster Paradise" ended the five consecutive championships of "You're Not Alone" and relied on the victory of the radio on-demand rate to win the championship. Since then, "Gangster Paradise", "You're Not Alone", "Apologize", "Kiss of the Rose", and "Waterfall" were among the top five.

However, if professionals observe carefully, they will find that although the ranks of "gangster paradise" and "you are not alone" are exchanged, the gap is very small, and the "apology" that comes after is more dependent on the increase of radio on-demand rate to shorten the gap. Infinitely close to the top two positions, the gap between "King of Roses" and "Waterfall" has gradually widened.

Such a subtle change has people looking forward to next week's Billboard singles chart.

In fact, the bulletin board for the fourth week of September did not disappoint! Because Maria - Carey's new studio album is about to be released, and this week's first wave of singles is officially here!

With the strong rise of Glory to Death, the matter between Glory to Death and Maria is no longer a secret. Henry Bloom is just an agent, but the dirty conspiracy hidden from the spotlight is not a secret. It has attracted the attention of many people. So far, none of the parties involved have come forward to tell the story behind it. Henry is still low-key and unusual, Maria is still dismissive, and glory is still tight-lipped to the death. However, this does not prevent people from putting Glory to Death and Maria on the opposite side.

Although there is no chance of a head-to-head confrontation between the two who say that Glory to the Dead is the new hope for rock's revival and Maria is the new star of R&B, the media habitually put them together for comparison.

This time, Maria had another head-on collision with the "apology" to the death of glory. Obviously, Mars hit the earth, which made countless people look forward to it.

"Fantasy", the first single from Maria's upcoming new album, which will be released in October, is an epoch-making song, the fast-paced pop song that truly integrates rap into the pop genre for the first time. , thus creating a new standard for rhythm and blues singers - songs need to be matched with rap parts, and top stars such as Beyonce and Rihanna are represented here, and a group of rap emperors have also emerged. Superstars, such as Pitbull, Nicki Minaj and so on.

It can be said that "Fantasy" is one of the important weights that opened up the era in Maria's music career, and it is also a step that makes her truly comparable to Whitney Houston. This song has not only made a huge breakthrough in musical style, but also It also played a pivotal role in the development of rhythm and blues in the future.

Likewise, "Apologize" is a song that had a profound impact on rock music composition, not to mention what it means to die as the founder of new metal music. Therefore, the collision between "fantasy" and "apology" is undoubtedly expected, and the pioneering and innovation of "fantasy" is insignificant in the face of "apology" - many music critics think that glory is to death Incorporating diverse elements such as rap, pop, and soul into rock is the real pioneer. "Fantasy" can only be said to be an afterthought.

However, this still does not affect the super high evaluation of "Fantasy", and the super popularity of Maria Kaelin at this time is also perfectly reflected. "Fantasy" grabbed 260,000 sales in one fell swoop in the first week. Under the circumstance that other singles have been exhausted, this sales volume is obviously capable of sweeping thousands of troops.

Before "Apology" won 250,000 sales in the first week, it could only rank fourth. This is because the sales of the top three are still outstanding, and the radio on-demand rate has the upper hand. But now it's different. Now the top five singles have been released for at least five weeks - "Apology" has also been released for three weeks. The sales of these singles are not explosive, and naturally they can't get 200,000 again. level grades.

It's a matter of timing. Like movie schedules, music albums and singles also have release schedules. Obviously, the "apology" schedule has not been selected, there are wolves in front and tigers behind; and the schedule of "fantasy" is a perfect fit.

However, just when everyone thought that "Fantasy" would easily be parachuted into the championship and become the first single for a female singer to be parachuted into the championship, "Apologize" suddenly emerged and made a strong force, defeating "Fantasy" in one fell swoop and won the September Week 4 Champions! At this time, people realized that the first week of "apology" was just the beginning.

In the past two weeks, the physical sales of "apology" have been slowly declining, but the radio on-demand rate has been soaring. It has become the champion of radio on-demand rate last week. All these signs show that the market is "apology". The second wave of explosive charge.

Sure enough, in the fourth week of September, the sales volume of "Apologize" broke through the 200,000 threshold again, and sold 220,000 sales in a frenzy. In the fourth week of its release, it was still able to hand over such an answer -- and it was still "bathing in the morning light". "'s fourth single, which was so incredible that many people couldn't believe it.

But the facts are already in front of us. "Apologize" actually broke out sales data comparable to "Fantasy", and "Apologize"'s radio on-demand rate is unparalleled, and it has completely exploded "Gangster Paradise" with an absolute advantage. It tops the on-demand charts of major radio stations; as for "Fantasy", which was just released this week, it did not even break into the top 50 on-demand charts. After the two data were superimposed, "Apologize" successfully won the championship of the Billboard rankings.

This not only achieved the great achievement of the fourth No. 1 single of the album "Bath in the Morning Light", but also won all four consecutive singles. Such power is once again admirable - this time, it convinced the arrogant Maria.

Stepping on the shoulders of the 260,000 brilliant sales record of "Fantasy", forcing the high heads of the uncrowned kings, "Apologize" pushed the chaos, ugliness, entanglement, and shame throughout August to the peak!

This is indeed a moment worth going down in history.
