Chapter 1647: 1647
In the second week of October, the whole world witnessed the glorious death of "Young. Volcanoes" easily complete three consecutive championships!
This single, which marked the official entry of the young volcanoes on the stage of history, achieved a comprehensive victory in terms of sales and radio demand rate. It won the championship for the third consecutive week without any suspense, and successfully put the battle of the century first. Zhou's strength has continued, which is really rare.
Although the sales of Maria's "Sweetheart" declined significantly this week, the decline has flattened out, and it still managed to hold on to the runner-up position; the same is true for "Do you know what I mean", although the radio on-demand rate has never been able to rank among the top ten Name, the mass base in North America still has a huge disadvantage, but relying on the strength of sales, it still stayed in the third place for three consecutive weeks without wavering.
After the vigorous end of the Battle of the Century, people have continued to feel the grandness and power of this duel for two consecutive weeks. It can be said that this week's bulletin board rankings are still without any suspense, but "Young Volcano" for three consecutive weeks. The sales volume that made history in the week still surprised many people - after all, the overall quality of this song is still not as good as "Beautiful. Day", of course, the quality is also slightly inferior "Wonderwall (Wonderwall)" "It has now become the most representative track of Glory to Death, which also shows that the word of mouth of music critics and sales figures can be linked, but not necessarily linked.
However, the most eye-catching news in the second week of October is not the bulletin board list, but the heavyweight news one after another this week.
EMI Records took the lead. After Glory to Death easily completed the three consecutive championships, they just announced that Glory to Death's third regular album "Storm" will be released on October 28th!
As soon as the news was announced, there was an instant uproar. Because the long-awaited new album to die for glory is finally coming out.
Since "Bathing the Morning Light", people have been looking forward to the follow-up action of Glory to Death. This band that has brought stormy waves in the history of North American music seems to be the most topical existence in the market at present. Any rock The threshold for the third album that the band must face is about to come to Glory to Death. Are they breaking the curse and continuing the strength of new metal rock? Stop abruptly? This has become a question that everyone is curious about.
Since the Battle of the Century, "Young Volcano" has achieved incredible and brilliant results, but this single was released two years ago, and it is not a brand new track. At present, there is still no news about the third album of Glory to the Dead. Come out, this undoubtedly made people full of countless speculations about this album, and until today, the album has finally been gently lifted the veil.
People noticed two details at the first time. The name "Wind and Rain" is the same name as the world tour concert that is about to kick off to Death to Glory; and the tour will kick off on the 25th of this month. Prologue, and the album was officially released on the 28th three days later. Obviously, there is an inseparable bond between this tour and the album.
Many people have thought of the information revealed by Live Nation at the press conference. The title and subtitle of the tour are not random. This obviously has a special meaning for Glory to Death, and it is also related to the content of the concert.
Glory to Death The names of the previous two albums were not randomly chosen. "Almost Famous" means that the band has just started and has enjoyed the fuzzy state of cheering before touching the spotlight. One step forward is glory, and one step back It is lurking, the haziness and confusion in the middle, the excitement and hesitation hidden deep in the heart, vividly displayed.
"Bathing in the Morning Light" vividly shows the band taking a big step and standing under the early morning sunshine. The excitement, excitement, and happiness mixed with some uneasy feelings make people unable to help reach out and embrace the warmth of the sun.
In fact, what these two albums show is the process of a band going from nowhere to the spotlight. According to the original itinerary, the current third album should be "Climbing to the Peak" or "Brave to the Peak" "under the spotlight" or "in the sky", but no one expected that after the second album, the glory to death has soared into the sky, directly reaching an unimaginable new height, which has made the band members. Somewhat overwhelmed.
Now...the third album is here, "Rainstorm".
People immediately understood why Glory to Death insisted on using the name, not only as the name of the band's third album, but also as the name of the band's world tour, because "Rainstorm" is about Glory to Death in the past two years. The situation we faced in 2010 brought it all out truthfully and directly.
Everyone knows that the third album is very important to the rock band, to the glory of death, and this album will largely maintain the heights the band can reach in the future. And Glory to Death did not shy away from this, and truly showed their internal chaos, worry, fear, hesitation, confusion, and confusion. .
With such a calm attitude, such an honest attitude, and such a sarcastic attitude, he did not shy away from facing the topics that people were discussing, and Glory to Death once again brought surprises to everyone. I have mixed up a lot of ideas myself.
It's just that what people are curious about is what happened after "Torrential Rain", and what happened to the third album born under the circumstances of "Torrential Rain"? Is it a mess of chaos, a disaster, and a complete loss of cannon fodder; or is it bravely breaking through the storm, breaking through the storm, and embracing the new world in front of me - and this new world is gradually reduced to mediocrity, or is it a new world that continues to innovate. world……
All of this, people have no answer, they can only find it in the album "Rapid Rain", and they can only find it in the tour of "Rainstorm". At present, there is only one "Young Volcano", which makes it impossible for people to make any judgments. Obviously, EMI has planned this for a long time. It is meaningful to choose "Young Volcano" as the first wave of the title song.
At this moment, people really understand what the words of the live country in the press conference mean, just like the subtitles of this world tour concert: "Sunshine", "Thunderbolt", "D.O.G." ", obviously, "sunshine" is the brilliance of the past three years; "lightning" is the difficulties faced now; and "D.O.G" represents the future.
As we all know, "D.O.G" is the abbreviation of Glory to Death, but just like the name of the band, "Glory or Death" is a multiple-choice question and a question, and no one can judge the result. Can only wait for Glory to die to give the answer in person.
This is the true glory to death, playing cards out of common sense, following one's own pace and rhythm, and blazing a path that no one else can predict, from "almost fame" to "bathing in the morning light", and then to "tossing wind and rain" , what kind of answer will the glory of death bring this time?
Just the title of the album has already made people excited.
What is even more exciting is that less than 24 hours after EMI announced the news, Sony Columbia Records announced that Mariah Carey's sixth studio album "Butterfly" will be released on Officially released on October 28.
October 28, the same day as the death of glory.
In fact, Maria's new album was originally released in mid-November, and many people in the circle have confirmed the news, but now it has been released three weeks ahead of schedule. The purpose is really obvious - obviously Maria is to be with glory Fight hard to the death and decide the final outcome.
Not only because of the personal grievance between Maria and Glory to the Dead, but from the standpoint of Sony Columbia Records, although Maria lost the Battle of the Century, its stimulating effect on the sales of the single was incalculable. The single "Sweetheart" Earnings have hit record highs. So, for the company, even if Maria loses to Glory to Death again, it doesn't matter, as long as the profit is high enough - what's more, Maria and Glory to Death's album showdown, it's still unknown who will win!
This is naturally the best for the media, because it marks the final battle of the battle of the century has begun to warm up.
Then, 24 hours later, Creative Records also released the official news that Oasis Band's third album "Be. Here. Now" will also be released on October 28th!
Obviously, for the Oasis band, they will not compromise, and they are not willing to compromise, and a death battle with glory to the death is their only choice. Although Oasis suffered a crushing defeat in the single duel, no one dared to underestimate the energy of Oasis, because no one would forget how last year's "British Rock" battle ended: The Stain won the single fight, but Oasis won the album fight.
Everyone knows that a single is just a single, but an album is ten -- or more singles, and it's always the album that people really care about, and no matter how good a single is, it can't replace an album. historical position. Throughout history, when people measure success, the first benchmark has always been an album, not a single.
Therefore, the first battle of the Battle of the Century can only be regarded as an outpost, and the real highlight is here!
The news has been officially confirmed, the last piece of the Iron Triangle puzzle has been completed, and the final battle of the Battle of the Century has been decided on "D-Day", October 28th, Monday! The collision of the world's top singers will usher in the final decisive moment. Whether it is Glory to Death, Oasis Band, or Maria, they all hold the belief that they will win this war. This will also be the real The ultimate battle to change the music landscape.
The follow-up of the Battle of the Century is still lingering, and people have already begun the countdown to the ultimate showdown "D-Day" of the Battle of the Century. are you ready?
