The first three albums all broke Millions of record holders...
All of these records can be written with the name "Hugo Lancaster" in front of them, except for the history that takes time to break, such as the "West Side Story" movie soundtrack Billboard album chart for 54 consecutive weeks The record of winning the number one, such as the Beatles' record of 18 consecutive albums and 20 singles won the Billboard No. 1 (as of 1996), such as the record of 104 million sales of the album "Thriller" ...any of the other record lists can see Hugo or the name Glory to the Dead.
Although records can never represent the status of artists in history, take the movie box office as an example. The box office in the 1990s needs to take into account various factors such as inflation, movie ticket prices, people's living standards, etc., so it is bound to the highest limit of the box office. It is constantly rising, and so is the sales of music albums, which also makes it difficult for the top stars of the golden age to gain too much advantage on such lists; but this series of records can make people clearly feel that nine Among the world cultural heritage in the 1900s, Hugo has left his unique mark.
In 1996's year-end single sales chart, "Sail" and "Young. Volcanoes" teamed up to dominate, ranking first and second, and such a momentum made Hugo's record-breaking posture accustomed to it. The audience couldn't help but exclaim again.
Although Mariah Carey's "sweet heart" has a huge gap, she still relies on strong support and ranks third on the year-end list, beating "Do you know what I mean", which is ranked fourth, and making a ruthless effort for Maria. Take a breath. Oasis's single "Do You Know What I Mean" fell behind by a sales gap of 170,000, and regrettably took the fourth place, which made the Gallagher Brothers really aggrieved.
Two rap songs from 2Pac's "How. Do. U. Want. It/California. Love" and "Crossroads" by Bone. Thugs-n-Harmony Occupied the fifth and sixth place respectively, the scores of these two singles exceeded 2.5 million, infinitely close to 3 million, easily leading the crowd.
The remaining four positions in the top ten are very competitive. Strictly speaking, the gap from seventh to fifteenth is very narrow. All of these singles have passed the threshold of two million sales, which is also the music market One of the important signs of exuberance, another record high.
In the end Mary-Bridge's "Not. Gon'. Cry", Oasis's "Walk With Me", Black Street's "No. Diggity", Donnie-Blythe Dayton's "Unbreak. My. Heart" successfully broke through and entered the top ten of the year-end list.
Maria's second self-titled "Butterfly" was an eye-popping 11th, failing to break into the top 10. Although this single swept an incredible 1.69 million sales in the first week, it finally achieved only 2.43 million sales, and its stamina was far behind other competitors. "Accompany me" completed the go-ahead.
As a result, Oasis took two spots in the top 10, and Maria had only one; but "Sweetheart" came in at number three, and Oasis fell behind in sales of both singles. So, who wins or loses between Oasis and Maria? Still no clear idea.
Of course, the real victor is to die in glory, there is no doubt about that.
Under the strong drive of the ultimate showdown, the North American sales of the three albums of Glory to Death all hit new highs. The North American sales of "Almost Famous" reached 11.6 million, and the sales of "Bath in the Morning Light" even more As high as more than 17.2 million copies, plus the current cumulative sales of 8.3 million "storms", Glory to Death has achieved sales of more than 37 million copies in North America. Join the ranks of the most successful singers in history. What is even more frightening is that the momentum of Glory to Death is also rising on a global scale.
Just as "Rainstorm" achieved a huge advantage on the British pop charts, the album also stayed at the top of the chart with a strong advantage until the end of 1996, and achieved a new sales record, handing over 477. With a sales volume of 130,000, this data has surpassed the current record of 4.52 million held by Oasis Band's "(What Story) Morning Glory", becoming the third-selling album in British music history—— Second only to Queen's Best Collection's 5.86 million and the Beatles' 5.04 million for "Sgt. Papo's Lonely Hearts Club Band".
This result was unexpected, as "Rapid" achieved this result in only eight weeks, surpassing not only Oasis, but Michael Jackson's "Thriller", Pink -Freud's "Dark Side of the Moon" and other masterpieces.
It's conceivable that, as long as 'Rainstorm' can maintain its momentum, the Queen's and Beatles' records are bound to be the next target, and perhaps the history of British music is about to change - or already on the journey to change. .
Relying on the outstanding performance in the UK market, "Rainstorm" swept 18.64 million sales worldwide, without any suspense reaching the top of the global album sales chart in 1996. With such an impressive result in just eight weeks, it's even starting to speculate whether 'Rainstorm' will eventually surpass 45 million global sales.
Why forty-five million?
In the current global album sales history chart, Michael's "Thriller" stands out and is far ahead, and the sales of 104 million copies can be confirmed as an unrepeatable miracle; and the runner-up on the list is Pink- Freud's classic masterpiece "The Dark Side of the Moon", this album released in 1973 has now achieved sales of 45 million, which can be said to be more than one person under ten thousand people.
At present, in the history of music, there are only eight albums with global sales exceeding 40 million, which can be counted with two hands.
The global sales of "Rapid Rain" has approached 20 million in eight weeks. Although it has not yet reached the top 30 in the historical list, such a strong appeal is enough to make people believe that this album will finally be released. The end point is definitely more than that. Even if you don't have the chance to challenge "Thriller", you still have the opportunity to hit the 40 million club.
This is a historic breakthrough for Glory to Death. You must know that there are four rock albums that have sold more than 40 million in the world, but all of them come from the golden age of the 1970s. Pinker- Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" (1973), Mitt Laufer's "Bat. Out. Of. Hell" (1977), AC/DC's "Back to Darkness" (1980) (Back. In. Black)", Fleetwood. Mac's 1977 "Rumours".
Among the eight best-selling albums in the world, rock occupies half of the country. What is even more frightening is that this ranking has not been shaken even in 2014. This data alone is enough to make people feel the huge influence of that era.
From these four albums, it can be clearly seen that the peak moment in 1977 has far-reaching influence so far, and although AC/DC's "Back to Darkness" was released in 1980, its strong influence is still followed by seven The after-heat of the rock 'n' roll glory of the decade. In other words, rock and roll has been silent for more than ten years. From Guns and Roses to Nirvana, from Glory to Death to Oasis, the power of rock and roll has just recovered a little.
Wanting to recreate the glory of rock and roll can even be said to be an idiotic goal. "Blaststorm" swept more than 18 million copies in eight weeks, vaguely making people feel the madness of 1977 again. And boiling, this is also the historical moment that was truly recorded in the annals of history in 1996: perhaps, under the leadership of glory to death, the rock and roll faith will really be revived; perhaps, "stormy" is really possible to get 30 million , 40 million, and even 45 million in sales, rewriting the history of music.
Only, this is not an easy task and time will give the answer.
Corresponding to "Rainstorm", Maria's "Butterfly" has achieved sales of 12 million copies worldwide, ranking second in the year-end global sales chart, so the sales that year exceeded the previous "Music Box". And "Daydream" has become Maria's most successful work so far, allowing the influence of the pop diva to radiate to all parts of the world.
And the Oasis band is not showing weakness, although they planted a big somersault in the British Isles, the sales of 3.2 million were pulled a street away by the glory of death, and compared to their own previous two albums It's far from enough, and the album's reputation has become a stumbling block after all; but relying on its strong explosive power, the global sales of "Stay Now" are still as high as 9.8 million, successfully taking the third place in the year-end global list.
From 1995 to 1996, Hugo achieved a big explosion in both film and music, and completely changed the course of history, making the future direction of film and music gradually deviated from the original track, and the future direction is no longer anyone. Able to predict, including Hugo himself. And now, from 1996 to 1997, the pace of history continues to make great strides, and every day brings countless surprises, although for Hugo, the "Rainstorm" world tour is the top priority Heavy, but in the United States, with the Golden Globes, Grammys, and Oscars approaching, bloody storms are taking place here.
