The resurgence of 552 sales frenzy    In the third week of December, the album "Almost Fame" to the death of glory achieved 230,000 sales, although the increase seems to be lower than expected. , But as a band that just debuted, Glory To Death has maintained a trend of rising sales every week since its first album was released. This is a huge breakthrough.

In the global music market, album sales have their own special characteristics. For example, the Asian market is a short-term explosive type. New albums in the Japanese market can often explode two million or three million in the first month of release. However, there will be a huge gap in sales afterwards, and then they will be sold in a long-term trend. The Korean market is even more obvious. Almost all album sales are concentrated in the first and second weeks after the release. It is very difficult to sell albums for a long time.

However, in the US market, album sales have always been characterized by long-term sales. Pink Floyd, one of the greatest bands in music history, released the album "Dark Side of the Moon" in 1973. of.the.)” stayed on the Billboard’s album charts for a total of 741 weeks, from being on the chart in May l973 to July l988, which lasted for 14 years. This unprecedented record has been In the distant future after 14 years of the 21st century, no one will be able to break it. 15 million copies have been sold in North America in the format of vinyl records. So far it is one of the 25 highest-selling albums in the United States.

In addition to the "dark side of the moon," there are five albums that have stayed on the billboard album charts for more than three hundred weeks. This shows that the US music market is dominated by long-term sales.

Generally speaking, album sales in the first month are bound to be relatively strong, but it is rare to have a sales volume of 3 million in the first month like the Japanese market. More often, there will be one album in the first month in the US market. Small bursts, and then spread to the following weeks, the water flows for a long time, and some albums can even rank in the top 20 in the year-end sales charts for several consecutive years. The long-term sales ability is very terrifying.

Therefore, after the release like "Almost Fame", there are not so many albums that have maintained an upward trend every week. This is the sales curve of a typical rookie singer after debut, because it means that the singer or this With the promotion of this album, it is relying on the accumulation of word-of-mouth to attract more listeners.

In particular, comparing guns and roses, the "fine noodle incident" dropped by more than 50% this week, and only got a sales of 190,000. "Almost fame" is in such a fierce competition for rock albums. The unique style and the glory that is incompatible with the market still smashes a blood path to death, and it is even more commendable.

Relying on the accumulated sales of 130,000 on the third Tuesday, the sales of "Almost Fame" easily exceeded 500,000 within three weeks of its release, and successfully reached the gold record certification standard, regardless of the future sales trend of this album. They have successfully broken through the underground rock circle and successfully found a place in the music market, which has also completed the lowest positioning of EMI Records for the first album of glory to death.

Snoop Dogg's album "Dog Style" regained the title of champion last week, and this week completed the reelect of the Billboard Album Chart Championship. It can be described as a very strong performance. And Mariah Carey’s new album released in September continued its upward trend, surpassing its competitors and ranking runner-up this week. Although the sales volume of Pearl Sauce's "match" has dropped, it still retains a strong position in the third place.

The top ten of the bulletin board rankings showed a new face in the third week of December. The glorious "nearly fame" after breaking into the top 20 last week, this week has gone further this week, relying on on-demand. The rate has soared from last week’s seventeenth place to eight places, to the ninth place on this week’s list! Guns and roses, which are at the bottom of the top ten, become four rock and roll in the top ten. A member of the album

In the three weeks since "Almost Fame" was released, it has almost completed the triple jump and directly broke into the top ten of the Billboard Albums chart this week. This is undoubtedly a huge breakthrough, and it also makes the glory of glory. Death became the brightest new star in the last month of the year-end.

Accompanied by the rise of glory to death, relatively speaking, the decline of guns and roses, as well as the ‘chaos’ and ‘chaos’ within the Nirvana band.

In the rock category list, Pearl Sauce still holds the championship, and the runner-up position still belongs to Mitteraufer. "Hell Bat 2 is back to hell..." There was a slight rebound in sales this week, coupled with the excellent on-demand rate. The performance made this album firmly hold its position on the classification chart, and it also smoothly rose to the fifth place on the billboard album chart, showing'color' is amazing; "almost fame" again Completed the transcendence and rose one name to the third place.

Guns and Roses, Broken Pumpkins, and Nirvana are ranked fourth to sixth on the rock and roll classification charts respectively.

"Nearly Fame" has an excellent performance on the rock classification list, even in the face of a lot of powerful competitors, it continues to improve its ranking, and it has achieved sales of 5.3 million in three weeks, which is even brighter. Eyes are very, no doubt joining the ranks of rising rock stars. The performance of this album in the next two weeks made "Almost Famous" logically become an indispensable member of the reappearance of the golden age of rock and roll in 1993.

The fourth week of December is the annual Christmas week. In the early 1990s, due to the absence of the Internet, the box office and album sales of movies always soared. Movies and music are the most common means of people’s entertainment life. .

This week, Mariah Carey’s new album "Music Box" has returned to the top spot on the Billboard Albums chart after winning the first week of release. This album is undoubtedly the most successful album since Maria’s debut. The huge sales success, coupled with the excellent reputation of music critics, has also allowed Maria to usher in the heyday of her career.

At this moment, Maria and Whitney Houston have become the two big queens in the American music scene. The two became bright for a while, and the limelight far surpassed the male singers of the same period. At the same time, they also created the peak period of high-pitched and skillful singing.

The only rock band that can be compared with Maria and Whitney is the rock band that has fully revived in the past two years. The bulletin board sales charts of Christmas week are obviously the best proof.

Snoop Dogg lost the championship, exchanged a position with "Music Box", and was ranked runner-up this week; after that, the three albums of Pearl Sauce, Mitteraufer, and Glory To Death took the place respectively. Zhou's third, fourth, and fifth place teamed up to push the rock frenzy to its peak at the end of the year.

During the Christmas week, the Guns and Roses album fell sharply and fell directly to the fifteenth place on the list, showing its decline; Pumpkin Broken and Nirvana also fell out of the top 20, although these three albums are in rock and roll The ranking list still retains the top six positions, but the overall momentum has fallen far behind the other top three competitors.

Pearl Sauce is still stable and firmly holds the top spot on the rock and roll classification charts. It is also unshakable in the third place on the Billboard Albums Chart. Mitterlaufer’s album is more and more courageous than last week. After that, I continued to improve my sales and rankings, and demonstrated to everyone what it means to sharpen a knife and not to chop wood. The album "Hell Bat 2 Back to Hell..." won by "Spent" for 16 years. . The full bloom of the monument and sales is a model for the new generation of rock bands.

Glory To Death As a rookie band, but its performance is getting more and more'glamorous'. Relying on the excellent strength and excellent album quality in the controversy'wave', it has won the love of a large number of neutral song'fans' and ordinary people. In the fourth week of the album’s release, sales reached a new high and continued to maintain its strong momentum with 260,000 sales.

"Nearly Fame" is getting better and better on the bulletin board, and the follow-up influence of the rock controversy "wave" began to show off in the Michael Jackson incident, and the glory to death boarded the JJ Music Festival tour stage More loyal rock lovers have shown their solid basic skills and excellent strength. In the rock world, live performances are always the best way to convince music fans. There is no doubt that at this point, the glory is to death. Never inferior to the confidence and heritage of any competitor

Under such circumstances, "Almost Fame" ushered in a sales frenzy in the last week of 1993, which also pushed the glory to death to the first milestone since its debut.

"Almost Fame" ushered in a buying frenzy in the last week of the end of the year. Obviously, the storm of public opinion at the end of November and early December, after the precipitation and accumulation of time, finally burst out with real energy~www.wuxiaspot. com~ This allowed "Almost Fame" to achieve 430,000 sales within a week. This was not only the highest weekly sales since the album was released, but also the cumulative sales of the album over four weeks after its release directly exceeded one hundred. Wan Daguan ended his journey in the music market in 1993 with a sales volume of 1.22 million.

This is obviously what Glory to Death did not expect before the release of the album, and it is also the best situation EMI Records can imagine: an underground rock band, but also a rock band that broke the grunge rock situation, the first album shocked the world. Landing on the music market and achieving one million sales from the gold record is a fantastic victory.

And now, Glory to Death only took five weeks to complete this feat. The album was released for five weeks, the sales volume was higher than the week, and the results were better than the week. This is exactly the best situation I dreamed of.

However, the most shining performance in the last week of 1993 was not only the one-week sales of 430,000, but the first bulletin board champion since their debut, relying on the explosive sales data in the last week. , "Almost Fame" surpassed Pearl Sauce and Mitteraufer at the last moment, dominating the rock and roll classification list in the last week of 1993, and ushered in the sunrise of 1994 with a precious champion! )
