Chapter 956 956 Eternal Showdown

Under the instigation of the media, the fans of Glory to Death almost doubled their fighting power, confronting Nirvana fans head-on. In the end, as expected by the media, they both broke out a weekly amount of 550,000. The sales surpassed the first week of the duel between "Bath in the Morning Light" and "Two Boys, Two Men", and achieved a new record for the highest total sales in a single week this year.

This is how the interlacing of history was born.

On the thirteenth week of its release, "Bath in the Morning Light" still produced a sturdy figure of 600,000. The explosive power is simply a miracle in the music market, and it is almost a miracle that cannot be replicated. This sales figure not only Let the album "Bath in the Morning Light" go down in history, and at the same time make this album a witness to the collapse of the Nirvana Dynasty.

When the Billboard album chart was announced in the third week of November, countless Nirvana loyal fans burst into tears, not only because of the band they supported lost their last chance to win the Billboard number one, but also because of the gods in their hearts. Greg Cobain is gone forever.

At ten o'clock that night, more than 80 cities, large and small, held commemorative ceremonies in the United States. All Nirvana fans in the same city gathered together, lit candles, held them high, and shed tears silently under the light of candlelight. His tears became the last glorious witness of the Nirvana Dynasty.

In the third week of November, the top ten on the Billboard Albums Chart were, "Blood in the Morning", "MTV New York Unplugged", "Two Boys, Two Men", "Murder Is a Case" soundtrack, " "Youthanasia", "Smash", "Big. Ones", "Bedtime. stories", "Wildflowers", "The Beast".

The champion comes from Glory to Death, the runner-up is from Nirvana, the fifth is from Megadeth, the originator of thrash metal, the sixth is from the pop-punk indie rock band The. Offspring, and the seventh is from Aerosmith , The ninth place is from the authentic American traditional rock musician Tom - Petty (Tom. Petty), and the tenth place is the fast-moving eyeball band. It is worth mentioning that the eighth "Bedtime Story" comes from Madonna.

Ten albums, seven rock.

Kurt Cobain died in 1994. The rock and roll dynasty is changing again.

The thirteenth consecutive week championship victory of "Bathing Morning" was so tragic, but also so tragic, they stepped on the final glory of Nirvana "MTV New York Unplugged" to be crowned the throne, which is better than the previous victory over the boy-man group and the quick turn. The Eyeball Band and the victory over the soundtrack of the "Lion King" movie have to be memorable, but also hard and bitter. Even victory is full of indescribable miscellaneous flavors.

Nirvana and Glory to Death, these two bands that have only met once, but became competitors because they stood at the intersection of history, but in this short and brilliant way, they completed the career of the two bands. The most dazzling and most special fight.

After the thirteenth consecutive championship, the cumulative sales of "Bath in the Morning Light" exceeded 5 million in one fell swoop, reaching 5.56 million. At this time, there are still six weeks left before 1994. The sales of this album hit 7 million. It's not too difficult, of course, the final result will not be known until the final year-end statistics come out, but even so, if this result is placed last year, this is an album qualified to win the year-end sales championship!

Not only that, but no one will forget that "Almost Famous" also achieved five million sales in 1994. A band has two such strong albums in the same year. Such a feat also makes people clearly see the glory today. Dying with unparalleled momentum in North America.

After creating an unbelievable thirteen consecutive championships, "Bath of Morning Light" obviously burst out with too much energy against Nirvana, and in the fourth week of November, it seemed a little weak in the follow-up, although it still achieved 270,000 sales, But this result was the worst week of sales data after the album was released. If it was normal, this result could have won another championship for the glory of death, but not this time, because the Eagles (Eagles) came.

Founded in 1971, the Eagles are a top-notch band on a par with the Beatles and Led Zeppelin. Their charm is constantly polished and glowing with the precipitation of time, even after the madness of grunge, even in the face of new metal rock. The turbulent, they are still able to stand still.

This time, the new album "Hell. Freezes. Over" released by the Eagles is aggressive, with 460,000 sales in the first week. Ending the 13-week consecutive championship of "Bathing the Morning Light" is a result without suspense!

As a result, the Billboard album chart has finally ushered in a new champion face after being dominated by "Bath of Morning Light" for thirteen weeks.

The album "Frozen Hell" is a live concert album of the Eagles' reunion after disbanding for 12 years. .California)" version of seven minutes and twelve seconds, widely circulated among the fan community.

Although it is said that it was the Eagles who ended Glory to Death in the end, people don't think so, because everyone knows that what is really worth remembering is the showdown of the 13th Week of Glory to Death.

Glory to Death almost used up all the energy after the peak duel with Nirvana, and the weekly sales fell by more than half, which directly led to the loss to the menacing Eagles. Not to mention it's a sarcasm, it makes people laugh and cry.

Twenty years later, when people look back on the rock frenzy of 1994, most of what they remember is not that "bath in the morning light" achieved the glory of death, nor is it that the Eagles ended the "bath in the morning light". Rather, it was a short but exciting week of Glory to Die and Nirvana.

It's only been a week, but it's enough to make countless rock fans talk about it.

Many loyal rock bands still think about the madness of that week after many years, Nirvana and the Glory to Death fans are like lunatics, they can't wait to roll up their sleeves and fight, their battlefield is every city, every record store, Do anything to support your favorite band.

Nirvana Band and Glory To Death, two bands that have almost no intersection, have been mentioned side by side in the long history, just because of their rock spirit that will never admit defeat and never bow, even in the next twenty years. In time, countless pairs of wonderful opponents have appeared, but no one has ever surpassed them.

The former created the era of grunge rock, the latter opened the era of new metal rock, the confrontation between the two staggered the time of rock and roll change, annihilated in the long river of history, but left its own footprint forever.

When people recall this week's confrontation, they can't help but think of "Four Two Stages" again. It was the only head-to-head match between these great rivals, and the two bands didn't even have a direct confrontation, but that performance became a It has been talked about by countless rock fans.

People will talk about Kurt's flashback in that performance, the bright and heart-warming song "Youth Mind"; people will talk about Hugo's trance state that day, which achieved "Don't. Look. Back" In. Anger)”; people will talk about the madness of the audience that day, people will talk about the liveliness of the stage that day, people will talk about the splendid performance of the day, people will talk about the wonderful music of the day...

But ironically, there are very few people who actually witnessed the Fourth and Second Stage, because that day was just a charity event, and most of the audience who witnessed the performance were just students from Venice High School. That's it.

This is the interesting thing about history. When the event happened, people didn't care about it at all, and they didn't notice the special at that time, but it took many years to react. It turned out that at that moment on that day, they had witnessed the birth of history. Become a part of history yourself. When I realized this, I found that I could no longer find the details of the day in my pale memory, and could only recall the splendor and splendor of the day from the yellowed photos and newspapers.

Perhaps, this is the so-called confidant. Even if they are not friends with each other at all, even if they have only met in public once, even if they have not even had a friendly conversation, they are the most familiar and most unfamiliar rivals.

In this brilliant and special way, "Bath in the Morning Light" won the championship for 13 consecutive weeks, which not only made this album go down in history, but also became an interesting story for later generations to talk about. People always say, "This It was the only confrontation between Nirvana Band and Glory to Death, but it was shocking and weeping..."

I don't know if it was because the duel with Nirvana used too much energy, or because the subsequent competitors were too strong. After the Eagles, first Kenny. G, then Pearl Jam, and then Garth- Brooks, "Bath in the Morning Light" remained in the top three until the end of 1994, but it failed to return to the top spot again. If the album wants to have further achievements, it can only wait until 1995.

The Billboard album charts are completely dominated by rock bands. The top ten have been dominated by rock bands for a long time, and the title of champion has been affiliated with Glory to Death for a long time, even the Eagles who subsequently won the championship are still the same. It's a rock band, which is also an interesting situation. In the second half of 1994, everyone witnessed the road to the top of the glory to the death with their own eyes. Among them, a group of strong competitors, including Nirvana Band, became the most topical scene of the year. .

But on the Billboard singles chart, it was a different picture.
