In 2012, the third week of June, North America ushered in a historic moment.

Renly Hall released two singles for the Heather-Cross Foundation, "Another Light" and "Say You Won't Give Up". With the powerful explosive force, the airborne announcement was made in an unimaginably strong gesture. The champion and runner-up of the singles chart, the absolute dominance is eye-catching and even more amazing.

This is not only Renly's first Billboard No. 1 single, but two No. 1 and No. 2 singles. As a singer, Renly has achieved far beyond imagination, which has become another profile of his appeal in North America, reminiscent of Will Smith and Barbra Streisand at their peak.

This feat has a commemorative significance in the annals of history!

According to Billboard's official classification, "Another Light" is classified in rock, and "Say You Won't Give Up" is classified in folk. As a result, these two singles have also created their own records:

This is the first rock single to be airborne in the 21st century, and it is also the highest-ranked ballad single in the 21st century. In addition, the weekly sales of the two digital singles have both reached new highs, from from itunes to spotify, it is not only the records of its own classification, but also completely refreshed all records. The powerful momentum is even daunting.

More importantly, it was the first charity single to top the Billboard singles chart in fifteen years.

Charity activities have always been an important part of social life. Singers are also happy to sing suitable songs and contribute to related activities, especially after special and important events, such as the "September 11 Incident", music is not only It can relieve people's hearts, unite the people, and can also raise funds through effective means to provide help within its ability.

Naturally, there are countless charity songs, many of which are star-studded, and everyone can participate for free; but, in the final analysis, there is a lack of enough publicity and charting, and the singles sell well, but the results on the charts are not satisfactory.

The last time a charity single topped the Billboard singles chart was back in 1997.

At that time, Princess Diana died in a car accident, and the designer Versace died in a tragic accident soon after. Losing two close friends in the same year, Elton-John (elton-john) fell into depression for a time, and then Created the single "Candle-in-the-wind-1997", originally written by Elton in 1973 in honor of Marilyn Monroe and re-written in 1997 After that, a new version was created.

After the single was released, it debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Singles Chart and stayed for 14 weeks, selling 33 million copies worldwide, making it the second-highest-selling single in history.

In the fifteen years since then, none of the charity singles and commemorative singles have been able to achieve such outstanding results on the chart. Until now, "Another Light" has been born, attracting all the attention They all came together and really wrote a thick and colorful stroke.

In the live performance of "Today Show", "Another Light" touched countless people, and Renly's moving and sincere performance in the performance even triggered a frenzy of discussion.

Countless YouTube accounts have uploaded videos one after another, using this song as the background music to tell the stories of those around them who are suffering from illnesses. Gradually, a trend has formed and it has spread in a mighty manner; and during the live performance in Rockefeller Plaza , the scene where all the audience took out their mobile phones to light up the light was praised by many media as one of the top ten scenes of 2012.

It was under this craze that "Another Light" successfully landed at number one on the Billboard singles chart.

In comparison, the live performance of "Today Show" did not include "Say You Won't Give Up", which lacked some topical exaggeration, but the attention of this single was not inferior.

Since the "One Man's Concert" ended, discussions about this song have been circulating on the Internet, but Renly has never responded, not even half covering his face with his pipa, but completely without any The news, as if it had never existed, so indifferent and so indifferent, was a torment for Don Quixotes.

Without warning, "Say You Won't Give Up" came on the scene, unveiling the mystery. For the Don Quixotes, it was like an early Christmas present. What's more, they deeply understood the special meaning of this song to Heather and Renly, as well as the fetters on that concert. So, compared to "Another Light", this song has more influence among senior Don Quixote.

So, easily, "Say You Won't Give Up" created the best result of the first week of folk singles, airborne runner-up.

In the list in the third week of June, "Another Light" and "Say You Won't Give Up" came out, beating Gotye's demon list "Somebody- that-i-used-to-know)”; and the socially popular carly-rae-jepsen’s single “call-me” -maybe)", successfully grabbing the top two positions.

Interestingly, "The Most Familiar Stranger" and "Electrify Me When You Have Time" are both singles that fell below the glasses of countless people.

The former is an alternative indie rock, recorded in the house of Gotier's parents.

After half a year of release, almost no one cared about it, and it entered the chart unexpectedly. In just 15 weeks, it suddenly emerged and won the championship, breaking the history of indie rock that no one has been able to top the Billboard singles chart since the new century, and is in the champion position. It stayed on it for a full seven weeks - this sounds familiar, it is a complete copy of "Cleopatra".

The latter is a simple modern pop song. The singer is also a newcomer from a Canadian talent show. At the beginning of its release, it was immediately submerged in countless information on the Internet, but later on YouTube began to circulate spoof viral videos. But it really began to spread widely. After six months of release, it successfully entered the list. After 15 weeks of entering the list, it has climbed to the runner-up position.

Add in "Another Light" and "Say You Won't Give Up," and this week's Billboard singles chart is nothing short of a feast for niche indie singers.

However, this is not the end.

"Another Light" stayed on top of the championship for five weeks, and "Say You Won't Give Up", "The Most Familiar Stranger" and "Electric Me" also firmly held the second place To the fourth place, for five weeks, the positions after the fifth place are constantly changing, but the top four are still standing still, which can be called a great spectacle this summer.

Everyone is discussing who can break the monopoly of these four singles, who will be the first to fall behind, and who can replace the title of "Another Light". When the answer came out, people were again Astonished and astonished—

In the fourth week of July, the No. 1 single on the Billboard singles chart was "Electric Me", and the discussion of this single on social networks has expanded to the world, even surpassing "Another Light", becoming the A new hot spot has emerged, and sales have risen even more. With the popularity of the index, it is threatening the "most familiar stranger" sales champion in the first half of the year.

"Another Light" slipped to the runner-up position, followed by "Payphone" by the Magic Red Band, "The Most Familiar Stranger", and "Say You Won't Give Up" slipped to No. 1 five.

In the era of digital audio sources, which is also the era of social networks, quietly, online social media, led by Facebook and YouTube, are changing the composition of the music market and further impacting the billboard. Such changes are becoming more and more clear. Now, "Another Light" and "Electrify Me When You Have Time" are the most direct beneficiaries.

After that, "Electrify Me" won five consecutive weeks at No. 1 before being replaced by flo-rida's single "Whistle".

As for "Another Light", after handing over the championship position, he stayed in the runner-up for three weeks, and then continued to decline to the fifth place, and finally stabilized his pace and stayed in the top ten. Eighteen weeks later, it continued to decline, and it came to the top 20 range. The entire battery life was exceptionally good, which made people's eyes shine.

Compared with folk songs, the rock market has barely survived, which also makes the overall sales momentum of "Another Light" faintly surpass the two singles "The Beast" and "Believe in Belief", which is even enough to create It is comparable to the historical "Cleopatra", and among the year-end sales statistics, it is worth looking forward to.

It is no exaggeration to say that Renly now has a place in the North American music market in the first half of 2012 as a singer.

Meanwhile, "Say You Won't Give Up" performed relatively poorly, slipping to No. 5. The single stayed in the top 10 for only six weeks before dropping straight out of the top 10, and The downward trend did not stop, and it only lingered in the entire list for twenty-two weeks, and then it came out neatly.

"Another Light" is still in the top 20, but "Say You Won't Give Up" has already made the list.

It can be said that this is the result of the difference in the promotion strategies of the two singles; but it can also be said that this is the objective status quo of rock and folk in the North American market.

In fact, "Say You Won't Give Up" is a song about love, and even if stripped of the meaning behind it, it's a catchy song. Topping the UK pop charts, the ballad single was a hit.

Although the influence at the beginning was not as good as "Another Light", the stamina and explosiveness far exceeded the opponent's. After 12 weeks of release, "Say You Won't Give Up" successfully climbed to the top of the championship, and was fully above the championship position. It stayed for nine weeks. In the case of insufficient explosive power, with the durability of long-term sales, the total sales are rapidly catching up with "another ray of light".

On a small side, you can still see the difference between the UK and the US market; this can also be seen as the difference in the cultural heritage of Europe and the United States.

With the popularity of "Today's Show" and the frenzy of sales of two singles, the competition for the summer season has also become fierce.
