Chapter 1690 1690 Suspense Increases Sharply
Mariah Carey finally proved herself with actual results. "Butterfly" won the single-day sales championship on Wednesday, allowing people to witness her diva style.
In fact, this shouldn't come as a surprise, as this is the ultimate showdown in the Battle of the Century, and no one in the troika is weak. On Monday, the 28th, within three hours in the morning, "Butterfly" sold 300,000 copies, showing everyone her unparalleled appeal. Now, "Butterfly" has overtaken the two competitors and won the single-day sales championship. This result can be said to be expected, making this match even more exciting.
Glory to Death is indeed booming in North America right now, but compared to Hugo's absolute power in Hollywood, it is obviously not easy for Glory to Die, who was born in rock and roll, to make a breakthrough in the mainstream market. They need to compete and overtake of singers can't count on two hands. The huge success of "Bathing in the Morning" is at best on par with Maria's "Music Box". The competition that "Rapid Rain" needs to face is definitely not that easy.
But even in such a tough confrontation, the sales explosion of the first two days of "Rainstorm" still stunned the world, showing an absolute advantage, which was enough to make the entire music market uproar: new metal rock entered the mainstream market, this It is no longer a topic that needs to be discussed, questioned, and disputed, because this is already an established fact.
The album "Butterfly" won the single-day sales championship on Wednesday, which should be expected, because the head-to-head confrontation between Maria and Glory to Death has just begun, and no one can make a conclusion in advance. Perhaps, Wednesday's overtake marked Maria's clarion call for a counterattack.
The ultimate showdown, the troika...no one should forget Oasis, and neither should they.
The album "Stay in the Moment" has received mixed reviews among music critics, but the brand "Oasis Band" still has an important weight in the hearts of fans. The quality of "Stay in the Moment" will naturally be left to time to prove. But at this moment, there are still countless fans who choose to support Oasis.
Therefore, on Wednesday, "Stay in the moment" also ushered in a sales explosion. This is a matter of course, this is the true manifestation of Oasis Band's global momentum in the past two years, this is the true manifestation of Oasis Band's current status, and this is the true manifestation of how wonderful the Battle of the Century is.
But obviously the energy of the Oasis band is more than that, and the hidden energy of the ultimate showdown is more than that. Compared to thriving, a melee match is the scale and hotness of the battle of the century, and Thursday's sales curve trend pushed the ultimate showdown to its peak. This day happens to be the annual Halloween, so this day is also dubbed by many people as "the messenger of hell travels, the world is in chaos, and the dynasty is changed."
The propaganda war between Maria and Oasis intensified, from coast to coast, along the Great Lakes to near the Gulf of Mexico, the "Butterfly" vs. "Stay Now" propaganda war in full swing, and the war spread to every corner of the North American continent. And Glory, who is preparing for a concert in San Francisco, still sits firmly on the Diaoyutai. The New York Post called this behavior "confidence and arrogance", which is a precursor to Glory's downfall.
Obviously, not only the "New York Post", but also many media believe that it is definitely a major mistake of EMI Records that Glory to Death did not formulate a corresponding publicity policy on such an important stage in the first week of the final showdown.
The results also seem to confirm this. On Thursday, Oct. 31, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) caused another uproar when sales figures were released.
The Oasis Band's "Stay in the Moment" achieved sales of 180,000, fully mobilized the enthusiasm of the fans, and at the same time made the entire market boil. You know, it's already Thursday - it's Halloween, but you still have to go to work on Thursday, and the cumulative sales of "Stay Now" have reached 1.09 million - which has also surpassed "Bodyguard" The soundtrack of the movie has become the second most popular work in the history of music after "Torrential Rain" and "Butterfly", but as a result, they still achieved sales of 180,000 on this day, which is as difficult as Glory to Death on the first day and results on the second day.
Relatively speaking, "Butterfly" achieved a sales volume of 140,000, and "Rainstorm" achieved a result of 130,000, which is far inferior to "Stay at the moment". Seemingly the same gap, but with the advancement of time, it becomes more and more incredible.
As a result, the data of 180,000 easily led the single-day sales list on Thursday, allowing Oasis to win the single-day sales champion!
This is the first time, the first time since the Battle of the Century, that the Oasis Band has achieved a real advantage over North America for the first time. The single-day championship, although it is only a single-day championship, makes the Oasis Band really proud. Prove their own strong appeal, not only in the British mainland, but also on the North American continent they have so many crowds. That's the most important thing that a one-day championship brings.
The Oasis Band not only defeated Maria, but also suppressed Glory to the death for two consecutive days. Since the Gallagher Brothers took the initiative to challenge, this was the first time they really spoke with their achievements, and truly suppressed Glory to the death. Especially in the past two days, the sales trend of "Torrential Rain" has obviously declined, and "Stay in the moment" has shown a strong stamina, which is even more satisfactory to the Gallagher Brothers than the single-day sales champion. Let them let out a bad breath.
At a fan meeting in Dallas, Liam couldn't wait to vent his anger, "Go to hell, let all those so-called rock spirits go to hell, smug, disgusting, pretentious, self-righteous. Great **** band, go to hell. We're the best, we're the best, we're the best band in the world!"
While Liam didn't name names, it couldn't have been more obvious. Live fans in Dallas screamed and cheered, applauding Liam's "frankness and honesty," and the scene immediately plunged into chaos, allowing the rock frenzy to boil over in spectacular fashion.
Although the victory or defeat of the single-day sales can't explain anything. At present, in the four-day total sales competition, "Torrential Rain" still leads the way, but for the Oasis Band, the single-day champion has explained too much. The incident allowed them to find a ray of life and a glimmer of hope in the media's long guns and bombardments, not only the Gallagher brothers, but also other members, including their managers, Creative Records and Universal Music, etc., all breathed a long sigh of relief.
On Thursday, "Stay In The Moment", "Butterfly", and "Torrential Rain" ranked the top three in single-day sales.
The ultimate showdown is worthy of the ultimate showdown. The sales results every day are amazing, and the sales trend every day is unpredictable. On Mondays and Tuesdays, the glory will be destroyed to the death. On Wednesday, Maria is proud of the crowd.
As of Thursday, the cumulative sales of "Rainstorm" reached 1.49 million, still far ahead of the two competitors; but Maria and Oasis are definitely not weak, "Butterfly" won 130 in four days 10,000 sales, and "Stay in the Moment" grabbed 1.27 million, a remarkable achievement.
This has been the most brilliant, successful and noisy week in the history of global music, not only in North America, but even on a global scale, this week's sales data is enough to lead the historical record. The troika has already broken through the one million threshold, and it has also improved the original record held by "Bodyguard" by a large margin. In the eyes of the general public, it is very difficult for even an album to reach such a high level. It's a veritable miracle that three albums have reached this level at the same time. miracle!
The energy bursting out of the entire North American music market is admirable!
From the current sales data, it can be seen that the gap between "Butterfly" and "Stay at the moment" is already very small. Before you know it, the Oasis Band, which was originally considered to be the weakest link, has strongly approached the "Pop Diva". "Maria, that gap is almost a data that can be reversed within an hour, so the battle between the two is full of countless suspense.
In addition, although the advantage of "Torrential Rain" is still huge, it takes almost a day or two to overtake the data ahead of "Butterfly" by 190,000 and 220,000 ahead of "Stay Now", which is a huge advantage. However, it is not impossible as there are only three days left in the week.
In three days, anything is possible. Especially considering that "Torrential Rain" has been showing its decline for two consecutive days, the media generally believe that on the one hand, the outbreak of the first two days was too fierce, so as to affect the stamina; on the other hand, the glory died in the propaganda war. Completely lagging behind the competition, the decline in sales on Wednesday and Thursday is almost inevitable. So, for the next three days, who could have predicted the outcome?
Different from the battle of the century, after Glory to the Dead grabbed the beach in Normandy, it almost took the lead in a completely unbeatable posture. The single "Young. Volcanoes" also carried the advantage of repeatedly setting historical records and easily won the first week. Champion, and continued the streak until the week of the final showdown. Even if the two competitors were left behind, "Young Volcano" was still very strong.
But now, the intensity, heat, and depth of the final showdown have far exceeded expectations. In particular, Maria and Oasis have learned the lesson from a month ago, and they have both worked hard on the publicity campaign. Entering the final stage of the presidential election, it became a particularly beautiful sight at the end of 1996, which also added countless variables and unpredictable changes to the pattern of the entire final showdown.
Friday, coming soon!
