Before the sunset on September 23rd, the world's top record stores such as HMV Records, Taoer Records, and Virgin Records have successively announced that they have branches in London, Los Angeles, New York, Tokyo, Chicago and other cities. , have refreshed their own sales records, and the chain effect caused by the battle of the century has gradually emerged. The sales of major record stores have not only reached a single-day high, but many of them have sold in just one day. The week before Unattainable heights!

Thanks to many large record stores in the city center being surrounded by surging crowds, many small record stores located in remote areas have also ushered in a sales frenzy, and even only one record store in some small towns is in a single day. Thousands of singles have been sold - which is almost equivalent to their sales in a month, and the global record market is showing a thriving scene.

There is no need to wait until the end of the day, people can already confirm early: the battle of the century has already created countless records, and the three of glory to death, Oasis and Maria have joined forces to drive the prosperity of the global music market. A magnificent new chapter.

Due to the time difference, Australia and New Zealand, who took the lead in entering September 24th, announced the first day of the battle. On the land of Oceania, where the music market is not considered prosperous, Maria, who is powerful in the end, took the lead!

This female singer, who has gradually reached the top of the global dolphin sound queen, made a bold new attempt in the first single "Sweetheart" of the new album, and found a beautiful mix of rhythm and blues and hip-hop music, with first-class fluency. The melody is very recognizable, and with Maria's familiar interpretation, it has received good feedback.

In Australia and New Zealand, Maria's popularity and recognition are significantly higher than those of two rock bands that never arrived in the land, and it's a natural progression to win here. However, due to the sluggishness of the music market, Maria's advantage was not large. She sold more than 34,000 copies in a single day, only a few thousand copies ahead of the two competitors.

However, the Japanese market that announced the results immediately gave Maria a boost of confidence, because on this land, she has received unprecedented enthusiasm. The explosive Japanese music market made the song "Sweetheart" harvest on the first day. With 330,000 sales, it not only broke Whitney-Houston's record of foreign singers' single sales in Japan, but also far ahead of the two competitors.

"Young. Volcanoes", which is so glorious to death, sold 220,000 copies in Japan, and although the results are still good - this is the fourth place in the single-day sales record of foreign singers in Japan, but it is still being sold by foreign singers. Maria threw a long distance; and Oasis Band's "Do You Know What I Mean" scored 190,000 sales, and the vertical comparison is still an excellent record, ranking among the top ten foreign singers in Japan, but horizontally. The comparison is behind the two competitors.

Japan is currently the second largest music market in the world after the United States, and its market potential and explosiveness far exceed those of the United Kingdom. In particular, Japan's short-term explosiveness is so outstanding that even the United States cannot compete. However, the real strength of the Japanese music market lies in supporting local singers. Although foreign singers have a good record here, they are not worth mentioning compared to local singers.

Even so, Maria's ability to grab the Japanese market is still a hearty victory!

The Asian region and Oceania region that were first announced in the early stage, Maria highlighted her huge appeal, which is also a direct reflection of the current global market with pop and rhythm and blues as the mainstream. In terms of the madness that has swept the world, rock is far from having such a strong influence now, and it is non-mainstream alternative music in most areas.

Immediately afterwards, the real highlight is about to come on stage. In North America, the main battlefield, and the origin of the Battle of the Century, the Triwizard Tournament can be said to be inextricable, from the east coast to the west coast, from the remote From the desolate state of Arkansas to the voluptuous state of Nevada, from the agriculturally prosperous state of North Dakota to the canyon state of Arizona, the war of the Battle of the Century has burned to every corner, and everyone has deeply felt the spirit of film and music on people. A huge driving force in life.

Even people who don't care about music will sneer or ridicule, saying that they have no interest in the battle of the century. But it turns out that they have also become a part of the battle of the century!

The Recording Industry Association of America announced the final results of the first day of the Battle of the Century at 8:00 a.m. on the 24th. ABC's "Good Morning America", NBC's "Today" and Fox's "Beautiful Day Live" "The results of this battle of the century were broadcast live for the first time - of course, countless radio stations across the United States also broadcast the results to people on their way to work via airwaves.

"Glory to death!"

"Glory to death!"

"Glory to death!"

Almost everyone is shouting this name, because this is the final winner of the first round of the "Battle of the Century" on September 23, 1996!

In an instant, the name of Glory to Death rang out over countless cities in the United States. From TV stations to radio stations, from hosts to listeners, from the bustling city center to remote towns, the "Glory to Death" sounded chaotically. Up, the gathering became a voice of shouting, just like the momentum led by "Young Volcano" when it created the scene, showing an unparalleled strong appeal, shaking the entire North American continent, and strongly proclaiming the victory of glory to death, this The trend of shares belonging to glory to death continued incessantly.

In this battle of the century, the main battlefield of North America finally declared a victory to the death, ending the first day of battle!

This is an unexpected but reasonable result. Although Glory to Death has not released an album for more than two years, and has not had any activities for nearly a year and a half, it is still the most watched rock in the entire North American continent. band. In the second half of last year, the song "Apologize" suppressed Maria for eight weeks. The diva singer was so stunned that she couldn't even utter a complaint.

At that time, "Apologize" was already the fourth single of the album "Bath in the Morning Light", and Maria's "Fantasy" was the first single of the new album. Maria was still suppressed and speechless; and now, In the first round of singles confrontation, although people unexpectedly and Maria lost to Glory again, but if you think about it carefully, it is reasonable.

The most terrifying thing is that Glory to Death has sold 430,000 sales in one day with the attitude of destroying the dead!

Four hundred and thirty thousand, what does that mean? This means that in North America, if the single sold more than one million, it is hoped to enter the top 20 music market at the end of the year. It took only one day for Glory to Die to explode with energy that is infinitely close to the golden album! This means that Glory to Death has easily broken a number of historical records. You must know that when "Wonderwall" created a miracle last year, the sales volume in the first week was only 230,000, but now "Young Volcano" won it in just one day. Such an achievement! This means that the Battle of the Century has exploded with unprecedented energy in North America, bringing new vitality to the music market!

Is this scene familiar? It is indeed somewhat familiar, reminiscent of "Independence Day" that was released on Independence Day.
