Chapter 2169 Chapter 2169: Absolutely Invincible
Three years ago, when "Storm" was released, the United States was boiling, and it sold 2.91 million in the first week, writing an insurmountable history. Although a large part of the reason at that time came from the outbreak of the Battle of the Century, the troika all handed over 1.5 million sales figures, which was also a weekend that could not be replicated in the entire history of North America, but no one can deny it The powerful appeal of glory to death is incomparable.
This time "Glory of Rock and Roll" can be said to have made its debut under the high-profile and long-awaited public, and there is absolutely no discount to the enthusiasm that people erupted. In addition, it is not far from the Grammy at this time, and almost no new albums choose to be released at this time. In the whole of February, only this new album is released - under the banner of a large music company, which also makes the energy of all markets towards glory. Collected until death, there is no competitor worth mentioning at all.
Glorious to the Dead are now the undisputed kings of the music scene than they were three years ago, thanks to their contribution to rock's resurgence, even if their accumulation is not enough-only three albums, but now they The position in North America and even the world can be said to occupy a leading position, especially Maracana has become a turning point in the entire history of music-the title of "Woodstock in the 1990s" is definitely not just a shout. , and more made the entire market boil up. This appeal reminds people of the Beatles, Pink Floyd, Queen, etc. at their peak.
So when EMI announced that their new album, Glorious to the Dead, would be out in the first week of February, record companies, big and small, shied away—no one wanted to be Mariah Carey or Oasis, even if their The albums also created their own peak moments, but under the strong suppression of Glory to Death, they couldn't breathe at all. What's more, not everyone can become Maria or the Oasis band, more people will be directly crushed under the powerful wheel of glory to death, and no one wants to be cannon fodder.
In the face of the king's arrival of glory to death, the field was cleared throughout February!
In the first week of February, "Rock and Roll Glory" swept 2.37 million sales with an absolutely strong attitude. Although it was far from the glory of the Great War of the last century, its performance was still amazing and overshadowed all debates. With the momentum of becoming the second album in the history of North America to sell more than 2 million albums in a single week-the only two seats were created by Glory to Death, which aroused the exclamation of the whole North America, even if there are more words of praise, it will not be enough. Accurately describing the prosperity and enthusiasm of the market, once again showing the strong appeal of Glory to Death in North America, and also confirming people's speculation - any album that collides with "Rock Glory" will be a disaster.
The historical high single-week sales made "Rock Glory" parachute to the top of the Billboard album chart this week without any suspense. This is also the fourth consecutive championship album of Glory to Death. The sales data of any kind of moisture shows the strong attitude of rock pioneers, and has continued the rock wave after entering the 21st century.
The single-week sales volume of "Rock Glory" is more than the number 2 to 50 on the Billboard album chart in the first week of February. It can almost be said that it completely exploded the music market this week with its strong dominance.
Santana, who ranked runner-up on this week's Billboard album list, sold only 210,000 copies, which is almost only a fraction of "Rock Glory"; Celine Dion, Dr. The albums of Dre and Christina Aguilera ranked third to fifth respectively.
It is worth mentioning that, with the strong momentum of "Rock Glory", the sales volume of the album "Storm" has picked up again this week. Not only has it returned to the high position of No. became the best-selling album in North America.
From "Storm" to "Glory of Rock and Roll", the dominance of glory to death has been clearly reflected, and the word-of-mouth of the two albums has reached more than nine points against the sky, comparable to the Beatles at their peak, a masterpiece Lian Lian's strong momentum makes the band's strong presence felt in every corner of North America.
In fact, not only in North America, the global influence of Glory to Death is absolutely not inferior. The full-scale outbreaks in Britain, France, Japan, Australia and other places made "Rock Glory" achieve more than With a sales volume of 6 million, this data actually surpassed the first-week results of "Storm" in overseas markets, which left everyone dumbfounded. The global first-week sales of "Storm" was 7.3 million, while the global sales of "Rock and Roll Glory" reached 8.23 million. Shocking indeed!
This not only means that "Rock Glory" has achieved eight-platinum global sales without any competitors to stimulate the market potential, pushing their influence to the peak level comparable to the Beatles; It completely detonated the power of the golden age of rock and roll, and truly made people feel the turbulent changes in the past ten years.
What's even more frightening is that relying on the strong influence of the Super Bowl, "Rock and Roll Glory" broke out again in the following week with a sales volume of 1.94 million, a drop of only 13% - and it was still in the first week. With a weekly sales of more than 2 million, it is unbelievable to break the North American second-week sales record held by "Storm", even compared to the first-week records of the original "Butterfly" and "Stay in the Moment". It is far ahead, and without any suspense, it won the first place in the North American sales chart with an absolute advantage, further bringing the powerful momentum of "Rock Glory" to a new high.
At this moment, the entire North American market was filled with amazement, "Could it be that 'Rock Glory' is going to break the abnormal record of 'Storm'?" This is simply a question that is enough to stop the heart.
You must know that "Storm" has already become the first album in North American history and the second album in global history. If "Rock and Roll Glory" continues to replicate this development track, then... then there will be no "then", just It is enough to look up.
"Rock Glory" was released simultaneously with two singles, "Centuries" and "I. Lived."
In fact, Glory to Death originally planned to release the debut single "Save. Rock&Roll", which is the soul of the entire album, but after the rehearsal for the Super Bowl performance, EMI realized that this The influence of the two songs is bound to become the master of the entire market. Therefore, in the end, EMI decided to release these two singles simultaneously—even if they will face the situation of fighting themselves to death.
Immediately after the release of the two singles, they showed a strong dominance. "This Life Is Not in Vain" achieved a sales volume of 630,000, while "Eternal Immortality" broke out with a sales volume of 470,000. The two singles This is not only the fourth airborne champion single of Glory to Death, which undoubtedly created a new record in history; (Sail)" and "Young Volcanoes" (Young. Volcanoes) combined to dominate the list for the second time, achieving this feat for the second time.
The outstanding sales volume cannot be described no matter how much money is spent, the fact that "This Life Is Not In Vain" handed over the data of the fourth weekly sales volume of more than 500,000 in history is enough to explain everything.
As the moment when Maracana was recorded in history, "This Life Is Not in Vain" made fans wait for three years. The long wait almost made many people forget this song, and even no longer remember the melody of this song , can only leave fragmented fragments in my mind, but when this song reappeared on the Super Bowl, the enthusiasm deep in my memory was instantly ignited, and then completely detonated!
Faced with the destructive data of "This Life Is Not In Vain", many people are expressing regret for "Immortal". After all, the song "Immortal" is the theme song of the new season of the Super Bowl. Surging, showing the essence of sportsmanship in almost all aspects, even Kurt Warner, the most valuable player in this year's Super Bowl, said that he was crazy because of this song.
If it were placed at any other time, the result of "Immortal" could easily be airborne champion, but it is a pity that it encountered a stronger "This Life Is Not in Waste" - also from Glory to Death's own single. However, EMI Records obviously didn't care about this, because "Immortal" was originally an unplanned single and was not in the single release plan. Such excellent results have already made them happy.
The two songs "Worth This Life" and "Eternal Immortality" couldn't find any rivals on the list, and they once again dominated the list without any suspense in the next week.
In fact, throughout February, no singer could be found to challenge the dominance of Glory to Death on the two charts. From the first week until the fourth week of March, these two works have joined forces to complete the eight consecutive championships. No one even dared to challenge them. Domineering to rule the world.
What's even more rare is that "Eternal Immortality" also stayed at the runner-up position on the Billboard singles chart for eight consecutive weeks, pushing the status of the king of glory to death to the peak.
No one knows whether "Rock Glory" can break the historical record of "Storm", no one knows how long the joint rule of "Life Worth It" and "Eternal Immortality" will last, and no one knows what the next single will be. What miracles will be created in the song of glory to death. But the only thing we can know is that "Rock Glory" made its debut under the expectation of everyone, and still won the support and pursuit far beyond imagination. This is the beginning of an era!
Under the vigorous momentum of "Glory of Rock and Roll" and "This Life Is Worth It", the 72nd Academy Awards Ceremony is grandly staged!
