Chapter 799 799
When "Rotation" was published in the second half of April, when it commented on the glory achieved by Glory to Death on the "April 2 Stage", there was a sentence, "Everyone has a song of their own in their hearts, 'Don't be sorry for the past ( Don't.Look.Back.In.Anger)'", this comment has also become the best label for this song in later generations, witnessing the first popular song of Glory to Die among the classics.
Unlike Glory to Death's first single, "Lithium," "Don't Be Sorry About the Past" is more accessible and closer to life.
"Lithium" tells about the disintegration of life and the disintegration of society. The emotions that fall into manic depression, tyranny and madness are more like the dark side hidden deep in the heart, which is vented along with the melody; Annoyed" is about the daze of life, standing at the crossroads, forward is the future full of mist, backward is the past of remorse, the left is the dream, the right is the life, even if it is just one step is so heavy , so that people can only stand in place, look left and right, and can't move for a long time.
In fact, this kind of situation can be seen in everyone, regardless of age, gender, or national border; it can also be seen in every corner of life, regardless of time, place, or event. . Therefore, when the melody of "Don't be troubled by the past" sounds, similar memories will emerge in almost everyone's heart, and the turbulent emotions make people irresistible.
But in the clear and melodious melody, all the emotions in the heart will be vented, sour, pain, nostalgia, sadness, joy, happiness, smile, sweetness... mixed together, can't distinguish the taste; then in Hugo In that mellow and gentle voice, the sun broke through the siege and scattered little by little in my heart, and the smile bloomed proudly in the tears in the bottom of my eyes.
So, whenever the chorus is played, people always involuntarily sing, "So Sally can wait," which is not just a melody or a lyric, but a cry from the bottom of my heart.
Everyone has their own memories, everyone has their own daze, everyone has their own memories... Therefore, everyone has their own "Don't do Annoyed by the past."
The same song has different aromas and tastes in the hearts of different people. The different tastes on the tip of the tongue make the expressions bloom with different colors. Only you can understand the meaning of the melody to yourself. This is unique enjoyment.
Undoubtedly, almost everyone who hears "Don't be annoyed by the past" can't help but sigh, it turns out that rock and roll can still be performed like this, it turns out that after the glory of the 1960s, you can still hear such wonderful rock and roll, it turns out that the glory is right to death. The revolution that rock made was so beautiful and moving. This also makes "Don't be sorry for the past" blatantly a song that is truly known to the world until the death of glory.
All of this is clearly presented through the sales of singles and the on-demand broadcast of radio stations.
"Don't Be Sad About the Past" did well on the Billboard singles chart after its release, at number 18 in the first week of April and number 19 in the second week. In the following third week, the strong reaction of the market began to take shape, and the sales of 87,000 copies broke out, rising to the eleventh place in one fell swoop.
Although the main competitors on the Billboard singles chart at this time are "Label" and R of Ace Base. Kelly's "Bump & Friction", but after the release of the glorious "Don't be sorry for the past", has repeatedly created good results and attracted the attention of many people. This situation ushered in the fourth week of April. A small orgasm.
In the fourth week of April, the fourth week of the release of "Don't Worry About the Past", the single's radio demand rate skyrocketed, just behind the number one single "Label" and overtaking another hit. The single "Bump & Friction" was the runner-up on the radio-on-demand chart, and it was also the best week on the radio-on-demand list so far - because the single "Lithium" was also at the top of the radio-on-demand chart. Ten ranks, ranked ninth.
The importance of radio in the United States, "Sleepless in Seattle" has been proved by a strong box office, so the importance of radio on-demand to Billboard is self-evident. Under such circumstances, although "Don't Be Sorry" did not explode in the fourth week of April, selling only 85,000 copies - even a slight decline from last week, However, relying on the excellent performance of the radio on-demand rate, it reached the top ten of this week's Billboard singles chart, ranking ninth.
The fourth week of April has also been a week to remember, with the Billboard singles chart topping "Bump & Friction" and runner-up "Label," but the most-watched artist did die in honor:" Lithium" came in at number four, "Don't Worry About the Past" at number nine, and had two singles in the top 10, a feat that made it clear to everyone that Glory to Death has been on the cards for the past six months. A strong rise in popularity.
Different from Nirvana, although the transformation of rock and roll by Glory to Death has been criticized and controversial, their music has indeed made great progress in terms of "people-friendly", so they have achieved sales comparable to Nirvana. The results are even slightly better in singles - Nirvana's best single performance is the sixth place for "Youth Heart".
Although "Never Mind" sold over 10 million albums, Nirvana never reached number one on the Billboard singles chart. From this point of view, Glory to Death is indeed very different from Nirvana, and they are expanding their influence in a way that belongs to Glory to Death. At this time, you can vaguely see the rock and roll wave set off by Glory to Death rolling in. spectacle.
"Don't be sorry for the past" broke into the top ten on the Billboard singles chart four weeks after its release, and its performance has been on a steady upward trend, with sales climbing to 90,000 in the fifth week of April, ranking seventh; In the first week of the month, sales dropped to 83,000 copies, ranking eighth; in the second week of May, sales broke through to 91,000 copies, returning to fifth place.
The third week of May became a week for Billboard to change its dynasties. Before that, "Label" and "Bump & Friction", which had jointly dominated the ten-week rankings for the first and second places, were both weak, and the harmony group four who were born out of nowhere were weak. People One (All. 4. One) replaced, Billboard's top ten list completed a major purge.
In the world before Hugo crossed, the four-piece choir can be regarded as a wonderful work in the music world. This is a group composed of four church choir members. They only officially released their albums in January 1994. Perfect harmony is known as a natural sound that is difficult for others to imitate - this is also one of the reasons why the Backstreet Boys began to pay attention to combined harmony. Because of this uniqueness, the foursome quickly attracted attention.
The four then performed a cover of country singer John Michael Montgomery's graceful and moving single "I. Swear" released in the second week of December 1993, which propelled their careers forward. It reached the peak and achieved the glory of the four in one. This single stayed on the No. 1 spot on the Billboard singles chart for eleven weeks, and did not step down from the No. 1 spot until the first week of August. Brilliant.
For people who are unknown, it is a dream to have a representative work in life; but for many people, a representative work in the peak period will also become a stumbling block and become the only shining point of his life. Take "Home Alone" for Macaulay-Culkin, for example, and "I Swear" for Four in One.
After "I swear" and achieved the brilliant achievement of eleven consecutive championships, the four of them reached the peak of their lives in an instant, but after that, they were never able to break through this mountain, and could only gradually disappear from the public eye. .
Now, the four-in-one "I Swear" is still following the historical development track, and it has a strong ascendance in the third week of May, breaking the "Label" and "Bump & Friction" teaming up on the Billboard singles chart for ten weeks. The blockade, the release has successfully ascended the championship throne in only three weeks, which can definitely be regarded as a birth.
"I swear" unexpectedly jumped from the eighth place in the second week of May to the championship; and "Don't be sorry for the past" also went a step further, rising from the fifth place last week to the runner-up throne. These two The first single also joined forces to replace "Label" and "Bump & Friction" to occupy the top two spots on the Billboard Singles Chart.
"Don't Be Sad About the Past" sold 97,000 copies this week and continues its trend of staying in the top three in radio demand, before people were ready for the single. It broke "Lithium"'s best third place record not long ago and became the best single on the Billboard at present.
What's more worth mentioning is that this week, "Lithium" also ranked fifth, achieving the story of Glory to Death and two seats in the top five, while "Almost Famous" has always stayed at the top of the album chart. The top five, no surprise.
In the third week of May, winner of "I Swear", runner-up of "Don't be sorry for the past", runner-up of "Label", Madonna's theme for the movie "Dr. Beggar (With. Honors)" "I'll Remember (I' ll. Remember)" continued last week's results, occupying fourth place. The fifth place is another single "Lithium" from the glory of death, and the "Bump & Friction", which created a good result before, can only fall to sixth place.
This week on the Billboard singles chart can be said to be in chaos. No one expected the sudden rise of "I Swear", nor to be outdone by "Don't be sorry for the past." The beginning of the entanglement of these two singles.
And Hugo was even more surprised: although his little butterfly did not prevent Kurt Cobain from leaving, he still had a big impact.
