Chapter 1683 1683 One Step in History

"Yeah!" Everyone in the room stood up and cheered. The crisp sound of champagne was mixed in, attracting everyone's attention, and then the champagne was sprayed into the air. There was a big smile on one's face.

Maria looked at the agent who was spraying champagne. Although she kept trying to control her smile, the corners of her mouth that were slightly raised couldn't hide her excitement, "So why are you in such a hurry, the sales volume of Glory to Death has not been announced yet." Saying so, but the turbulent smile in her eyes betrayed her true emotions.

"That's what you said, but a gold record in one day? This achievement is absolutely impossible to replicate." A crisp voice shouted directly, and immediately got the support of everyone in the room, and everyone cheered. Even Maria herself finally couldn't help it, and she burst into laughter.

Indeed, with more than 500,000 records sold in one day, Maria has truly stood at the apex of history, which even Whitney Houston can't match. The album "Butterfly" finally made Maria proud!

At the same time, the Oasis Band, who had just finished cheering, was dead silent. Liam lifted his foot and kicked the glass table in front of him. Fortunately, the glass was explained enough, so it didn't break, but the beer on the table, Pizza and fried chicken were all scattered on the ground, all over the place.

Looking at Liam with a grim face, Noel showed no sympathy at all, and even gloated over the misfortune, "I told you that this album is so bad that we can finish it. Card. Because of the garbage that was made casually afterwards. , even if you don't know what you're singing, how can you beat other people."

"Go away! If you're going to lick Hugo's asshole, do it yourself, I won't stop you." Liam raised his hand and smashed the lighter in his hand. Noel only had time to cover his cheek, but his arm Still got smashed. Knowlton was also angry, stood up and rushed towards Liam, "You are the scumbag who can't wait to sell chrysanthemums!" How could Liam be afraid, clenched his fists and rushed over.

Others in the room rushed over, pulled Liam and Noel away, and shouted loudly, "The results of Glory to the Dead haven't been announced yet, so you guys started fighting, and there's no end to it!" Let the two Gallagher brothers show embarrassed expressions, respectively shook off their partners who were holding them, and then each sat down in the corner of the room, but did not look at each other again.

Maria, who was far away in Los Angeles, and the Oasis Band in Las Vegas, all turned on the TV without exception, locked on CBS TV, and followed the live broadcast of "Sixty Minutes", becoming one of the top four in the United States. One of eighteen million people. They know better than anyone the importance of the first-day sales battle. This is not just a competition of data, but also a duel of momentum.

The momentum of a drum is like a tiger, and then it declines, and three times it is exhausted.

Imagine that after winning the first-day sales showdown, the headlines of major media are overwhelming with this news, and then supplemented by the first batch of music reviews released at the same time, the winner can easily qualify for the lead in this ultimate showdown. Just like the first battle of the Battle of the Century, this is Normandy, and it depends on who can land first.

When Ed announced the sales of "Stay in the Moment", the house where the Oasis Band was located was about to explode. The sales of more than 400,000 were not only the best results achieved by foreign singers in North America, but also created North America. With a new record for single-day sales in the music market, the Oasis Band has even reached a level that the Beatles did not reach back then. Such outstanding results are enough to make the Oasis Band proud of the world.

Creative Records began to prepare the draft almost immediately, "Oasis Band's new album sales on the first day make history crazy!" Make sure that the headlines of all major pages in the United States and the United Kingdom will be swept by this news tomorrow. version, they even had to force themselves to calm down and think about what wording should be used in the press release sent to the major media, otherwise the overheated brain would not be able to sort out the thoughts at all.

However, the excitement of the creative record did not last long. Ed announced the sales of "Butterfly", and then Maria's new album's promotion team of up to 36 people directly fried the pot. The record-breaking cake was also served, and the feat of "single-day sales of gold albums" is definitely an epoch-making feat.

Sony Columbia Records prepared the draft early, and their huge publicity team prepared four plans at the same time to face different results, trying to push the momentum of the "Butterfly" album to the highest point in the first time. And the single-day gold-selling results are enough to make them invincible.

However, neither Maria nor Oasis will forget: Dead by Glory sales figures have yet to be released.

No one is stupid. The reason why Maria and Oasis dare to celebrate in advance is not because they have no brains, but because everyone has an account in their hearts.

The Oasis Band's sales of more than 400,000 is already the best in North American music history. Such sales figures are incomparably brilliant in any era; Maria's sales figures of more than 500,000 have broken an impossible ——Single-day sales are so incredible. In fact, the gap between the single-day sales figures of Oasis Band and Maria is also very small. Both of them have completed an impossible task, which is objectively worthy of celebration.

More importantly, the combination of Oasis Band and Maria has driven more than 900,000, nearly one million crazy sales in the entire market. The single-day sales force of the music market is very limited - take 1.23 million people mobilized throughout the morning as an example, although this is only the data of ten major cities, it is impossible for everyone to enter the record store to buy albums, because the record store's reception capacity in a day is limited. Even if all 1.23 million people have entered the record store and have one album in hand, then Maria and Oasis have already grabbed nearly one million of the market, how much energy is left to the death of glory?

Everyone knows this account.

But many times, the calculation is not so simple and rude, because it is possible to buy ten albums by one person, because the 1.23 million people are only the statistics of ten major cities, and the statistics of the evening are that the United States has mobilized more than 180 albums. One hundred thousand people, because there are only three hours in the morning, but there are a full nine hours of sales time in the afternoon... Therefore, the suspense still exists, although it is not big, but it still exists.

The current results are acceptable results for both Maria and Oasis. Maria leads the first day of the final showdown with historical data; Oasis lost by a slight disadvantage, but still reproduces the Beatles King's Landing in North America. Brilliant, impressive sales figures will be a strong testament to their success.

The premise is that glory to death do not make trouble.

Once again, Maria in Los Angeles and Oasis in Las Vegas are on the same side, praying for the same thing, united like never before, just hoping that both sides can work together to win this battle.

But, to die for glory agree?

All of this may sound like a long time, but it just happened in the blink of an eye, and Ed took a deep breath on the TV screen, paused deliberately, and then said, "Okay, everyone knows that. , there is one last answer left."

These words silenced Maria and the Oasis Band, silenced the live broadcast room, silenced the entire North American continent, and 48 million people stared with bated breath, all eyes focused on the one in Ed's hand On the card stock, the scorching heat seemed to easily set the card stock on fire. There was not even the slightest sound of breathing, as if any sound would destroy the solemnity and grandeur of the moment.

Ed only felt a tickling in his throat. His heart seemed to have squeezed into his throat, making him breathless. Even though he already knew the answer, the sweat on the palms of his hands and the back of his head clearly showed his true emotions at the moment. , he swallowed a mouthful of saliva involuntarily, and his pupils trembled a few times - like a rookie standing in front of the media for the first time, Ed knew it was ridiculous, but he just couldn't control himself.

The saliva evaporated before it had time to slide down his throat. The hot and hot throat made Ed almost suspect that he could not make a sound. He seemed to clearly feel the eyes of the 48 million people in front of the TV, even if Alarms were ringing all over his brain, "This is a live broadcast, this is a live broadcast..." But after all, he couldn't hold back, and he coughed twice, which relieved the scratchy and hot throat.

Ed glanced at Mike next to him. Mike's calm eyes calmed him down a bit, and he finally said, "To Glory to Death..." Damn, he was so nervous that he forgot the album title of Glory To Death, and lowered his head. Glancing at the card paper in his hand, "'Rainstorm'," it was really a hurricane, literally, Eddie didn't change his breath, and said in a buoyant voice, "668,650 Nineteen."

After reading this set of numbers, Ed found that his hands were completely soaked with sweat. He adjusted his sitting position uncomfortably, but he still tried to keep his hands steady and showed the card stock to the camera lens, which read impressively. , "'The Storm', 668, 659".

But then Ed discovered that the entire studio was silent, and even the tiny sound of the camera running became so clear that it echoed clearly in the space, making people feel that the narrow studio was like an endless canyon. In fact, not only the live broadcast room, but the entire North American continent fell into silence at this time, as if even the engine sound of the vehicles on the street had disappeared, the voice of the radio host, the voice of other TV stations, and the discussion in the convenience store. The sound, the chatter in the coffee house, the sound of pedestrians passing by the road... all disappeared.

Quiet, all sounds are quiet, dead silence.

"668,659", this group of numbers brought unprecedented shock.
