Chapter 1698 1698 Double List Champion
If you look at the history of Billboard in the United States, there are countless works that debuted at the top of the album chart in the first week, and even many artists can be ranked first in the album chart in the first week of the release of their first album; works, but few.
The reason is the difference in the nature of albums and singles. Americans are used to buying albums. The first week of album sales is an explosive boom, and then sales gradually show a decreasing trend, so many albums can be airborne Billboard champions in the first week; but singles But it is different. People are more accustomed to hearing singles on the radio, and then choose the singles they like and buy them one after another. Therefore, many singles do not enter the top ten after several weeks or even ten weeks. It's quite normal, like "Macarena," which was a national hit not long ago, and it took thirty-three weeks after its release to climb to No. 1 on the Billboard Singles Chart.
Therefore, Airborne Champion's albums are numerous, but Airborne Champion has only five singles as of 1996. 'Beautiful. Day' by Glory To Death, 'You're Not Alone' by Michael Jackson, 'Exhausted' by Whitney Houston, 'Sweet Day' by Mariah Carey and Boy Man, Glory To Dead "Young. Volcanoes".
Now, Glory to the Dead has increased the number of singles that made this history to "Six", "Sail" was outstanding, under the catalysis of the ultimate showdown, won the enthusiastic response of the entire market, relying on creating a new historical record A strong performance, airborne to the fifth week of October 1996 the championship throne.
What is even more incredible is that among the current six airborne champion singles, Glory to Death has occupied three seats.
In the face of "Voyage"'s single 1.93 million results, "Young Volcano"'s single 1.07 million records not long ago was completely crushed. At this moment, people's spirits have become numb—— Even if more historical records appear, all this will not be surprising, but even so, the "1.93 million" data still makes many people start to hiccups.
Compared with the pace of "Voyage" making history, Maria and the Oasis Band are not showing any weakness. The single "Butterfly" also swept 1.69 million sales within a week, also creating an unparalleled history. Records, following the glory to death, airborne to the runner-up position on this week's Billboard singles chart; the last "Walk with Me" broke out the sales data of 1.64 million, only a slight advantage regretted Ranked third, this result is undoubtedly still a historical coordinate, writing the best result of a foreign singer in the United States.
Compared with the huge difference in the album charts, the gap between the singles charts is clearly within reach, and even the gap between "Butterfly" and "Voyage" is not exaggerated to the point of inconceivable, it still makes people believe this. is the distance that can be overtaken. Not to mention the sales difference between "Butterfly" and "Walk With Me" is only less than 50,000 copies. From this side, you can also see the intensity of the ultimate showdown, which is completely a hand-to-hand battle with a bayonet.
However, no matter how outstanding the performances of "Butterfly" and "Walk With Me" are, they still serve as foils, witnessing the unstoppable sales driving force of "Voyage", and at the same time becoming the direct result of "Voyage"'s brilliant data permanently engraved in the annals of history witness.
It's hard to imagine that, ten years later, the Billboard singles chart with an average weekly sales of 200,000 can successfully win the number one, and any single can create "Voyage", "Butterfly", "Walk With Me" "The miracle. In fact, although in Japan, there are countless singles that sell more than one million in a week, and one appears almost every once in a while; but in the United States, after 1996, it has never appeared again.
The brilliance created by the three singles "Voyage", "Butterfly" and "Walk With Me" is evident.
So, the top three on the Billboard singles chart this week are almost unquestioned, and even if the radio demand rate in the first week of release can't compete with the other singles, the huge advantage in sales is enough to change the whole chart.
As "Voyage" ended "Young. Volcanoes"'s five-time streak, the Billboard Singles Chart for the fifth week of October saw a sea change, with "Voyage," "Butterfly," "Come With Me" "Peer" ranked in the top three by a huge advantage, while "Young Volcano", who had won the championship for five consecutive weeks, directly relegated to the fourth place.
This is not an unexpected result. Although "Young Volcano" is completely suppressed by the powerful momentum of the ultimate showdown in terms of sales, there is no breathing room at all, but in the radio on-demand rate rankings, "Young Volcano" is still 2%. The advantage is a strong lead, and it continues its sweeping momentum.
In fact, thanks to the strong appeal of this week's final showdown, the sales of the three singles "Young Volcano", "Sweetheart" and "Do You Know What I Mean" have all rebounded, bringing the influence of the Troika to the fore. The power increased to the maximum.
Among them, "Young Volcano" took advantage of the situation to win 180,000 sales. Coupled with the excellent performance of the radio on-demand rate, it still suppressed other competitors without any breathing room. It can be said that if the ultimate showdown did not choose to erupt at this time, the "Young Volcano"'s six consecutive championships, even seven consecutive championships and eight consecutive championships are not hopeless - even more so considering the strong momentum of this single .
But the reality is like this, Glory to Death personally ended the "Young Volcano"'s consecutive championship momentum, and defeated two powerful competitors with a sweeping posture, becoming the final winner of the first week of the ultimate showdown.
This courage, this calmness, and this casualness to be honored to death is admirable enough!
More importantly, Glory to Death has two seats in the top five this week, which not only proves once again that Glory to Death is sweeping across North America, but also continues the excellent performance since "Almost Famous". Moreover, considering that such a result occurred on the premise that the final showdown attracted the attention of the entire market, the two singles both ranked in the top five, which is an important affirmation of the entire music market for the glory of death.
People have expected the brilliant performance of Glory to Death, but few people dare to predict the mythological performance of Glory to Death today.
Behind "Young Volcano", this week's No. 5 is still the enduring "Macarena", a Spanish song that has become popular in major nightclubs across the United States, if it hadn't encountered the battle of the century, the ultimate Duel, I'm afraid there is no big problem in winning consecutive championships for more than ten weeks. At this time, even in the face of the strong performance of the ultimate showdown seckilling the market, "Macarena" is still high, which is evident.
Although Celine's single "Re-Owning" was smashed ahead of schedule because it hit the battle of the century head-on, but thanks to the good quality of the single, the follow-up development momentum is also very good, ranking sixth this week, although the ranking There has been a decline, but the overall result is basically the same, and it has not been destroyed by the momentum of the final showdown. To be able to achieve such a result is already a huge affirmation for the untimely "re-ownership".
Maria's "Sweetheart" slipped from the sixth place last week to the seventh place. Although it fell by one place, in fact, considering that the top three have been replaced, "Sweetheart" actually went up and down. In particular, the entire album "Butterfly" has been highly praised by music critics, and considering Maria's status as a queen in North America, it is not surprising that the sales of "Sweetheart" have rebounded.
However, it is clear that Maria's overall momentum is still not comparable to Glory to Death. "Young Volcano" ranked fourth, still leading all the singles released before last week; but "Sweetheart" only ranked seventh, and ultimately lost. One chip.
As for the Oasis Band, it is even more unconfident. "Do you know what I mean?" Although sales have recovered through the momentum of the ultimate showdown, and the magnitude is not small, it unfortunately fell out of the top ten in the end, ranking in the top 10. Eleventh this week. From the eleventh to the tenth place, there is only one position difference, but the real effect is very different.
Among the top ten, Glory to Death and Maria each occupied two seats, but Oasis Band, one of the troikas, only had one seat, and the signs of falling behind became more and more obvious. From the battle of the century to the final duel, the duel between the Oasis Band and the Glory to Death has almost no chance, and all aspects are completely destroyed.
On the Billboard Singles Chart for the fifth week of October, singles from Donna Louise, Blackstreet, and Keith Sweet took the last three spots in the top ten. Became the last member of the Billboard charts for this week in history.
Of course, there is no doubt that the troika of the ultimate showdown is the absolute protagonist of the fifth week of October. From the album chart to the single chart, it has achieved a comprehensive sweep, and all other works have been reduced to a foil. But being able to occupy the top ten in this historic week is also a great honor for the singer, because quietly, they have also become one of the names recorded in the annals of history.
The final list of the North American Billboard's double charts has been determined, and glory to death. After "Bathing in the Morning Light", the album and single double chart champions were once again in the bag, "Blaststorm" and "Voyage" reached the top together; Maria -Kelly relied on the album "Butterfly" and the song of the same name, both ranked second, proving her high popularity in North America; although the Oasis Band is not only slightly inferior in overall momentum, but "Stay in the moment" and "Walk With Me" not only ranked third in the double list, but also achieved a level that other competitors could not achieve, and the results are still worthy of praise.
Similar to the momentum of the album sweeping the world, not only the North American market, these three singles have also launched a battle on a global scale. As a battleground, the UK still attracts full attention. Unsurprisingly, the history of British music also changed with this ultimate showdown.
