"One Day King VS Farrell", did not explode.

"One Day King VS Shakira", did not explode.

No one expected that "One Day King VS 'Frozen' Soundtrack" would explode!

Here, "Nine" broke out with sales of 300,000 for two consecutive weeks, counterattacking the curve, and returned to the top spot on the Billboard album chart.

On the other hand, the soundtrack of "Frozen" also exploded in sales of 300,000 for two consecutive weeks, overtaking it again and regaining the crown of Billboard's album chart.

The scene of Double Dragon Playing Pearl was so exciting and exciting that other singers and other albums were all reduced to supporting roles. No one remembered that Farrell and Shakira also released a new album, the so-called "One Day King VS Farrell" "Your" has long been a speck of dust in the Internet age.

After you sang and I took turns to climb to the top, it was not terminated until the first week of June——

Coldplay's sixth studio album "Ghost-Stories" has been under the spotlight for a never-before-expected "Coldplay vs. King for a Day" showdown, and the album has been released for more than The four-month-old king is still fighting fiercely, but the powerful Coldplay band still has the upper hand.

"Ghost Stories" broke out with a sales volume of 380,000, successfully broke through the blockade of the original soundtracks of "Nine" and "Frozen", and topped the Billboard album chart.

After a lapse of fourteen weeks, the Billboard album chart finally ushered in a new champion.

So far, "Nine" reached the top for a total of eight weeks, and the soundtrack of "Frozen" won the championship for six weeks. The time for the two to jointly dominate the championship and runner-up was twelve weeks. During the discussion, the bustling crowd exclaimed, admiring and cheering.

Top 3 on the Billboard Albums chart in the first week of June, "Ghost Stories," "Nine," and the "Frozen" soundtrack.

It is worth mentioning that the previous week's champion was the "Frozen" soundtrack, and this week's "Nine" sales once again surpassed the "Frozen" soundtrack, that is to say, if there is no "Ghost Story" spoiler, then " Nine" will once again reach the top of the Billboard album chart, and obviously the competition is still not over.

In fact, the same is true.

After "Ghost Stories" broke the blockade of the champion and runner-up, summer has come, and strong competitors are on the stage.

First, Sam-Smith's debut studio album "In-The-Lonely-Hour" came quietly,

It reached the top of the British pop music album chart in the first week of its release, and also entered the top five of the Billboard album chart. Then no one expected that this album would be full of stamina, and then it would become a hit.

Then came Ed Sheeran's remarkable return. The first week of the release of the second studio album "X" ushered in a sales explosion. The champion of the sales charts in the UK and the US, he has already shown his domineering power just after his debut.

Furthermore, Lana-Del-Ray's third studio album "Aesthetics of Violence ()" also topped the billboard album chart in the first week of its release, and exploded worldwide. De Sheeran also needs a stronger market appeal, and has achieved remarkable results.

Coupled with the strong sales performance of "Ghost Stories", the entire market has entered an attitude of open competition. It is also difficult for the original soundtracks of "Nine" and "Frozen" to join hands to dominate the top two rankings. It's getting higher and higher, gradually becoming an impossible task.

but!

The excellent market pull of these two albums has not faded.

Here, the album sales of "Nine" returned to more than 150,000, a small explosion; there, as agreed, the soundtrack of "Frozen" also immediately returned to the figure level of 150,000 , not to be outdone, to prove that there is still unconsumed energy in his fuel tank.

The anxious competition between you chasing after me has continued in a mighty way since June, although as time goes on, the sales figures of the two albums are not so close to each other by coincidences, and there is gradually emerging between them The figure of other albums, but on the whole, the distance is still not completely opened, no one is left behind, and they are lingering towards the ends of the world.

The song "You are the wind and I am the sand" breaks the imagination time and time again, passed the summer and ushered in the autumn and rushed into the winter. They actually spent the whole 2014 hand in hand and ushered in the first ray of dawn in 2015 side by side. And the ranking of the two albums has never fallen out of the top 20 of the Billboard album list!

And, when the new year comes, it has returned to the top ten of the Billboard album chart one after another, "Nine" has recovered to eighth, and the soundtrack of "Frozen" will hang at tenth, in the middle of the two albums. Then there's Michael-Buble's classic Christmas album, "Christmas."

amazing!

Besides amazing! Still amazing!

Not surprisingly, the year-end album sales champion in 2014 should be decided between "Nine" and the "Frozen" soundtrack.

Although Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, Eminem, Ed Sheeran, Sam Smith, Coldplay, Katy Perry, Magnum Dragons and more all released albums this year , and are also strong contenders for the year-end sales list, but they all lack a little bit——

Like the original soundtracks of "Nine" and "Frozen", which maintain strong competitiveness for 52 weeks without a break throughout the year, there are only these two albums, which reminds people of North America's year-end album sales list for two consecutive years. "21", but I don't know whether these two albums can last as long as "21", all the way to the second year, and they can still maintain their competitiveness even in 2015.

But that's another story.

At least in 2014, they know.

However, the winner of the original soundtracks of "Nine" and "Frozen" will only be revealed at the end of the year.

Everyone was looking forward to a "spring showdown". After being disappointed twice, they finally got their wish. The bustling discussions have always remained high on social networks, and related hot discussions can be seen almost every week. There are always A new wave of fans noticed this unexpected matchup, and there are always completely new treasures discovered by completely unfamiliar audiences.

It is precisely because of this that the One Day King has truly established its position in the industry with the album "Nine". In terms of sales, as early as the summer, the cumulative sales of "Nine" have successfully surpassed last year's year-end champion "Mars Jukebox", this is undoubtedly good news for the entire music market-the market that has been in the doldrums for a long time has finally regained its vitality.

But more importantly, in terms of awareness, influence, appeal, etc., King One Day has withstood the test of the "curse of the second album", and the great success of two consecutive albums has been achieved step by step. Proved his ability and left his own mark in the music industry.

This is the most important and rarest thing!

How many singers have fallen on the second album, as if hurting Zhongyong, but the King of One Day did not, not only did not, but also established a higher status in the industry and successfully opened a new situation!
