Superstar

If someone tells Glory to die, the song "The Wall ( will become one of their most well-known singles. It is estimated that they will all look astonished, and Hugo will even sneer. When he wrote this song, In fact, I'm not very satisfied, because the lyrics are too soft and the melody completion is not high.

Similarly, countless professionals will sneer, because from any angle, "Good Day (.day is currently the most perfect song of glory to death. This song is definitely enough to rank among the top ten of the 90s. The ranks of the songs.

But history is so interesting and gives a very different answer.

Twenty years later, in countless statistics, professionals and professional magazines all love the song "A Good Day" more. They think this song is the pinnacle of the early creation of glory to death, from the melody to the lyrics, from the momentum In terms of emotions, the whole degree of completion is very full. This song is also one of the indispensable masterpieces in the long and glorious music career.

However, in the audience's vote statistics, "Good Day" not only lost to the "Masked Wall", but also did not differ from "Don't be upset by the past ('t...in.anger and "Lithium(. . The reason is that the audience considers not the technical level or the creative level, but their own emotional factors.

In 1996, a total of 170,000 viewers voted for the most popular song by "Rolling Stone", and "Magic Wall" won the first place; in 1997, seven countries including Germany, Australia, and the United Kingdom Among the most popular songs in the polls, "Magic Wall" won the love of countless listeners and easily won; in 2000, "q Magazine" conducted a "Most Popular in the Past Ten Years" with 37,000 viewers. "Vote for Songs", "Magic Wall" defeated the heroes and won the championship again; in 2010, American Music Radio held a poll. More than 800,000 people voted for the 100 most popular songs. "Magic Wall" won the championship incredible. .

This is a result that he didn't even expect from glory to death.

Many people joked, "Don't be annoyed by the past", let the music world know the glory to death, "Good Day" let the music world remember the glory to death, and "Masked Wall" truly achieved glory to death. In this regard, Hugo can only jokingly, "Fortunately, these are three songs." In fact, it is self-deprecating. Nirvana was only remembered by people as the "Young Heart", but in fact, "Don't mind." There are countless outstanding tracks on that album, at least there are "three songs" in the glory to death.

In the first week of its release, "Magic Wall" directly broke out in sales of 230,000, and airborne the runner-up on the bulletin board singles chart in the second week of March. This result has already made countless people fall through.

If Hugo had carefully studied the direction of the Billboard singles chart in the second quarter of 1995, he would have discovered a very interesting phenomenon: these few months are completely the pattern of your side and my debut.

The first is the Queen’s single “Curtain Call (take. ..It)” won the championship for seven consecutive weeks, followed by the classic song of the rock star Brian Adams (bryan.adams) “Have you ever really loved a woman (have...ever.really...a." won the championship for five consecutive weeks, and in the end, the strong rising women's group won the championship for seven consecutive weeks with "waterfalls".

This happened from the last week of February to the third week of August, and then it fell back into a melee.

It can be said that this is really a very interesting situation. From this we can also see some clues about the 1995 singles chart: lack of a flourishing situation, most of the traditional big-name singers occupy the mainstream music market-and the style of music is also They are all traditional pop and rhythm and blues. Although the only Brian Adams is a rock singer, he is also a representative of traditional pop rock.

Of course, Hugo knows nothing about this pattern in history, so he naturally can't feel it. After his little butterfly flapped its wings to the 37th Grammy, the entire traditional music market Great changes.

"Music Wall" directly sold 200,000-level sales in the first week of its release, and was runner-up on the airborne bulletin board singles chart, just below Madonna, who completed three consecutive championships this week, so that everyone fell through their glasses. .

Almost eight months have passed since the release of "Bath in the Morning Light", and even more than a month has passed since the intensive ranking of "Shape of Heart (shape. Six months have passed since the album, which means that glory to death has almost "disappeared" in the sight of the public for such a long time, the "Masked Wall" can achieve such results, it is really terrifying!

From this aspect, we can also see how extensive the influence of the Grammys and the new contract this time.

It is worth mentioning that although Madonna's "curtain call" this week successfully completed three consecutive championships, the radio on-demand champion this week is actually "The Wall". This single leads the "curtain call" with a huge advantage of two percentage points. , Dominates the radio on-demand rate rankings, and "Magic Wall" officially landed on the radio in only four days.

In addition, the album "Bath the Morning Light" also included four other songs in the top 50 radio on demand rate this week. Even the "Young Heart" of Nirvana has reappeared on the radio ranking after two years. Within one hundred on the list. What makes people laugh and cry is that many listeners actually think that "Youth Heart" is a glorious song, and they don't know who the original song is. Obviously, these listeners have no interest in rock or even music, just purely in Grameen. Meishang heard this song and thought it was good.

This is also a profile of Grammy's tremendous influence.

If the achievements of the "Magic Wall" only stop here, then it can't be said that it has changed the market structure, let alone that it has achieved glory to death. Obviously, the results of the first week of release are just the beginning of the glory of the "Magic Wall".

In the following two consecutive weeks, "Magic Wall" grabbed sales of 180,000 and 170,000 respectively, and continued to dominate the radio-on-demand championship, but it was still inferior to Madonna's "curtain call". While completing his third consecutive runner-up championship, It has also become a testimony to the "curtain call" five consecutive championships.

At this time, although the results of "The Wall" were very good, it was only "good". The media began to scoff at the glory to death results. The "New York Post" liked to join in the fun, but they were very interested in music. There have not been many reports, so this time it was just a joke, “Last year’s victorious glory to death, when faced with the real queen Madonna, it is obviously too immature.”

In fact, what the "New York Post" said was not wrong. Although last year was so glorious and majestic, the four people who fought with them were newcomers, and the boy-man combination relied on the "two boys, two men" picture. The album is truly among the top, but Madonna is definitely not a singer of the same level. The current queen who won countless popularity in 1984 with "Like a Virgin. Girl (.a., even Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey are absolute juniors in front of her. Madonna's popularity continues to this day, and she is still the number one most popular female singer in the world.

The song "Curtain Call" created countless topics during the filming of the music video. Madonna personally arrived in the Spanish town of Ronda. However, because of the bullfight, it attracted protests from environmentalists. After the release of the single, he won the championship with the momentum of sweeping the army, and he deserved the title for five consecutive championships.

Therefore, the "New York Post" is mocking the glory to death. The qualifications are too shallow and the foundation of popularity is not solid enough. Everything seems to be clouds and bubbles. The surface looks like layers of mountains extending infinitely, but in fact it is vulnerable. It only takes a gust of wind to blow, and maybe there is nothing left.

However, immediately the "Magic Wall" ushered in a blowout: the Oscars ceremony once again came to a lively end. Hugo, who did not participate in any publicity, once again ushered in a high exposure rate, and the super high popularity and excellent reputation accumulated by the "Magic Wall" in the previous three weeks finally ushered in a good opportunity to explode.

In the fifth week of March, the sales of "Magic Wall" showed an astonishing increase, and won 510,000 sales in one go. Not only did it create the highest single-week sales since 1995, it also won the radio station again. The championship of on-demand rate easily ended the five consecutive "curtain calls" and successfully reached the top of this week's bulletin board singles chart!

The "Magic Wall" ushered in a full-blown explosion in the fourth week after its release. The sales volume of 500,000 in a single week is the top three in any year. Such outstanding results are not only the glory of any single before the death. The song has not been achieved, and at the same time, other singers who have created such achievements can be counted with one hand~www.readwn.com~ Just this week's brilliance is enough to make everyone admire the glory to death.

What's more, it was Madonna who defeated the glory to death.

In addition, the powerful outbreak of "Magic Wall" also drove the sales of other singles of "Bath in the Morning Light", and "Good Day" and "Shape of Heart (shape.of.my.heart both returned to the top ten. , Once again reproduced the feat of having three seats in the top ten of the singles chart.

What’s incredible is that it only took four weeks for "Magic Wall" to bring its cumulative sales to 1.09 million, which also surpassed "Good Day" and became the single with the fastest sales of Glory To Death to reach platinum certification. This also gave people a first look at the endless grace of this top band that has achieved glory to the death.

The major record companies can't help but sigh. EMI Records really holds a good hand. Glory to Death's new album hasn't had a charter yet, EMI Records has already made a lot of trouble.

In addition to "Magic Wall", there are other focus points worth discussing this week. The names of three alternative rock bands, Green Day, Sound Garden, and Nine Inch Nails, appeared in the top 20 of the Billboard singles chart. , This is an unprecedented situation!
