The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 1093 New Inspiration
Everyone is paying attention to the championship competition between August 31st and Beyoncé, while professionals have noticed that August 31st has suppressed Fifty Cent and Beyoncé in another way, quietly making history -

“Ho Hoo” is worth remembering, in its own way.

Maybe it didn't reach the top of the list like "Long Live Life" and "Wake Me Up", but it still opened up a piece of sky with its own proud attitude.

The thing about "popularity" is indeed full of pitfalls and unknowns.

After this battle, no matter what happens next, no matter whether "Hoarse" can make history or how long "Wake Me Up" can stay on the championship throne, the attention of the entire music market has been fully focused on it.

The rise of the band August 31st, its musical style, its publicity strategy, etc., all aspects are bound to cause wider discussion.

"Rock is dead" is the general consensus in the entire pop music world in recent years.

However, August 31st emerged with a collision of classical and pop music, breaking the shackles and strongly summoning the market's rock craze. There is no doubt that this is an inspiration that no one should ignore.

Miracles always come to those who dare to dream.

This time it is the band August 31st.

On the one hand, "Hooray" was ultimately unable to completely overturn history, and its number of weeks in the top ten unfortunately stopped at just 30 weeks, ranking second in history. Despite this, such a feat is still worth noting.

On the other hand, after "Wake Me Up" became the only song in the top ten of the Billboard singles chart on August 31, it once again demonstrated the band's profound influence in the music market, and the subsequent burst of energy is endless and unstoppable.

Five consecutive championships!
Eight consecutive championships!
"Wake Me Up" has been on a roll, and before I could even blink, the single had already withstood the consecutive impact of Beyoncé's second single "Baby Boy", easily tied the best performance of "Crazy in Love", and once again had a chance to rank among the best in history.

Fifty Cent in the first half of the year and Beyonce in the second half of the year both had the opportunity to touch the historical record, but the fierce competition made them both fail, and unfortunately they were unable to go further.

Now it is the turn of the most unexpected competitor among the three.

Can “Wake Me Up” continue to soar?
The whole of North America is eagerly waiting——

At this moment, another powerful opponent quietly appeared in sight.

Outkast, also known as the August 31st clone.

In fact, the two are completely different. Outkast is a duo hip-hop group that released its first studio album as early as 1994. It not only has a number one single, but also has two Grammy Awards. They are completely different from the August st band that popped out of a crack in the rock.

However, the second single from Outkast's fifth studio album, "Hey-Ya!", is a breath of fresh air in the rap genre. It not only uses a large number of African instruments, but also incorporates different types of singing styles such as soul and dance music, and it is like a monster that suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

When this single was released, it was jokingly called another version of "Ho Hey".

In fact, the sudden emergence of "Hey Ya" is indeed magical.

The first single from Outkast's album, "The-Way-You-Move", was disappointing after its release. Despite the extremely high expectations, the performance was far below expectations.

In the face of difficulties, three weeks after the release of the first single, Outkast immediately released the second single, "Hey Ya", in an attempt to turn the situation around.

Sure enough, "Hey Yeah" took off like a rocket and became an instant hit throughout North America. Not only did it perform exceptionally well on the Billboard singles chart, it even brought its first single "The Way You Dance" into the public eye.

Turn the situation around in one fell swoop!
With a song of "Hey Ya" and a song of "Ho Hey", this year's Billboard is indeed full of highlights.

While “Wake Me Up” completed its eighth consecutive No. 1, “Hey Ya” had already made a strong entry into the top five and climbed to No. 8 with “The Way You Dance.”

The soaring momentum of the Outcasts is in no way inferior to that of August 31st.

Although August 31st and Outkast have almost no similarities, the media still likes to discuss them together.

however!
"Wake Me Up" is still unstoppable.

Nine consecutive championships!
Ten consecutive championships!
Eleven consecutive championships!

August 31st did it. It was the biggest surprise and the biggest unexpected thing of the year. It emerged as a dark horse and made history. What Beyoncé and 50 Cent could not do, August 31st did in an incredible way.

"Wake Me Up" remained at the top of the charts for eleven consecutive weeks, becoming the twelfth single in Billboard history to reach such a milestone, and is recorded in history alongside a series of great works!

Exactly two years ago, Anson finished his audition for Spider-Man and accidentally ran into Miles and his crew on the streets of Manhattan. He composed a song on the spot on a whim -

The rest is all history.

No one expected that "Spider-Man" would cause such a storm, and no one expected that "Wake Me Up" would change the fate of so many listeners.

First, "Ho Hey" made history, and then "Wake Me Up" broke out. In comparison, "Long Live Life" seems "insignificant". What kind of Versailles is this?

Whether it is Beyoncé or Fifty Cent, they have their own moments and aura, and are undoubtedly an important part of the music market in 2003; however, in front of the band August st, they both seem to be overshadowed, and "Midnight in Midsummer" is the biggest winner of this year.

Behind "Wake Me Up"'s eleven consecutive championships is Beyonce's second single "Baby Boy", which stayed at No. 2 for nine consecutive weeks.

The atmosphere has been set up to this point, but "Baby Boy" still failed to break through the blockade. I don’t know whether this single can have the same subsequent fate as "Hooray".

Billboard singles chart in the first week of December.

Champion, "Wake Me Up", August 31st Band.

Runner-up: “Baby Boy,” Beyoncé.

Third place: “Hey Ya”, Outkast.

In addition, Outkast's "The Way You Dance" unexpectedly rose to fifth place.

Perhaps, in this rolling wave, only the Wanderers can be compared with the August 31st Band.

Facts have once again proved that the judgment of professionals is correct.

In the second week of December, the Billboard singles chart was completely reshuffled.

Champion, "Hey Ya", Outkast.

Runner-up: "Wake Me Up," August 31st Band.

Third place: “Stand-Up”, Ludacris.

Fourth place, “The Way You Dance,” Outkast.

5. “Milkshake,” Kelis.

Earthshaking.

It was so unexpected that there was complete silence.

People expected "Hey Yeah" to reach the top, finally ending "Wake Me Up"'s incredible eleven-week championship, but they did not expect another single from Outkast to continue to climb, and the momentum of their overall rise was completely unstoppable.

People anticipated the difficulties that "Baby Boy" would face after being stuck at No. 2, but they did not expect that Beyoncé would not be able to replicate the staying power of "Roar Hey" and would fall out of the top five.

Wow, brilliant.

Wonderful!
