Superstar
Chapter 1050: Full rule
If you want to find a suitable adjective to summarize the performance of Glory to Death in 1994, then "Total Reign" will be the best answer, from January to December, from album to single, from popularity to word of mouth , Glory to death broke out in 1994 and reached an insurmountable peak.
On the 1994 year-end album sales charts, five albums were certified for five platinum sales. They were the original soundtrack of "The Lion King", "Two Boys, Two Men" by Boys and Men, and "Scum" by Green Day. ", and the glorious "Almost Fame" and "Bath in the Morning Light".
In the end, the "Lion King" movie soundtrack won the year-end sales champion with a sales volume of 7.41 million. Coupled with the film's outstanding performance in the North American and global box offices, there is no doubt that the "Lion King" work was released in 1994. It is definitely full bloom.
Glory to Die’s second album "Bath the Morning Light" released in August reached year-end sales of 7.26 million, only lagging behind the 150,000 sales data of "The Lion King" and occupying the second place in the year-end sales charts. .
It is worth noting that the original soundtrack of the "Lion King" movie was released in June, which was two months earlier than "Bath in the Morning Light", but the final gap was only 150,000. Therefore, the media generally believed that the biggest winner in 1994 It should be "bath in the morning light." This album is only half a year away from the first glorious debut work, but it has contributed unparalleled super high quality and captured the hearts of many ordinary listeners. This has also become a rock in the world. The biggest contributor to the mainstream in 1994.
The album "Two Boys, Two Men" released in September by the boy-man group broke 6.3 million sales, ranking third on the year-end charts. The brilliance of this album is not only a profile of R&B's strong momentum in the 1990s, but also the strong popularity of the boy-man group now comparable to the "national group".
Although the boy-man group was completely suppressed from album to single from glory to death, this result is reflected in the second and third place on the year-end album chart, which is natural; but it must be admitted that the boy-man group can die in glory In the face of such a strong momentum, it still has not been defeated. This is a very remarkable thing: not all albums and all singers can deliver such a performance.
It is not the first official album of the Green Day Band in 1994 that occupies the seat of the army, but from the album "Almost Fame" released at the end of 1993. This glorious debut album gained huge popularity after its release in 1993. , But the real outbreak only officially started after January 1994. As a result, "Almost Fame" achieved a sales volume of 5.33 million in 1994, bringing its cumulative total sales to 60. Apart from platinum, he also reached the fourth high position on the year-end list this year.
The last album with sales of over 5 million was Green Day’s "Scum". Once this work with a strong punk revival impact came out, it received a strong response—after the baptism of rock’s revival in 1993, People are not surprised about the rise of Green Day.
After the release of the album "Zhuzhu", professional music critics generally considered it to be another work that brought innovation and impact after "almost fame". The Green Day band resurrected a rapid and concise three-chord. Although their music is not as new as Glory to Death, the album "Scum" brought back the punk of the late seventies to a new generation of young people. This album was made in 1994. With a strong influence, it opened the door to the new American punk, punk metal and the third wave of rock music.
Glory to Death brought a new metal rock, and the Green Day band resurrected punk. These two bands have an unpredictable influence in the rock renaissance wave, so that they will be in the long-term next twenty years. I can feel the imprint of their presence everywhere.
At this moment, the professional music media also have to admit that Glory to Death and Green Day are the most influential bands in the United States after Nirvana and Pearl Sauce.
In the midst of this storm, "Scum" finally won a sales volume of 5.07 million and won the five platinum certification in a leisurely manner. Of course, the powerful influence of this album is still continuous, and sales are bound to continue to rise. The end is definitely not here.
There were actually three rock albums among the top five in the 1994 year-end sales charts, and the other two albums were soundtracks and rhythm and blues, which again confirmed the fact that rock has a strong appeal and audience support in the mainstream music market. .
This also made 1994 an important watershed. After that, rock and roll has truly become a member of the mainstream market that cannot be ignored-this is the core value of recreating the golden age of rock and roll. From Nirvana, Pearl Paste to Glory To Death, Green Day, and a large number of old-fashioned rock bands such as Guns and Roses and Smith Spaceship, after more than a decade of downturn, rock and roll finally reappears in the 60s, The glory of the seventies.
"Frozen Hell" by the Eagles, "mtv New York Unplugged" by the Nirvana Band, "Kick Up (,.it.up by John-Michael Montgomery, "Purple" by the Stone Temple Guide, "Forrest Gump" These five albums accounted for the remaining five of the top ten sales at the end of the year.
Among them, the rock genre included six positions, which continued to spread the strong rock and roll in 1993. Among them, the Nirvana band continued their strong appeal after the death of Kurt-Korbain, and "mtv New York unplugged" also became the last witness of this endless feast.
Among the top ten sales at the end of the year, Glory occupies two seats until the end of the year. This is also a rare sight, especially when the release time interval between "Almost Fame" and "Bath in the Morning Light" is not too long. , Let people clearly feel the strong rise of this rock band.
Just one year after the debut of Glory to Death, the two albums have achieved sales of 6 million and 7 million. At this moment, those who are about whether Glory to Death can be compared with the 1991 Nirvana band. The argument has also reached a conclusion. Perhaps the dispute between Glory to Death and Nirvana which is better will never have a result, but everyone must admit that Nirvana has made rock and roll get the mainstream attention. And Glory to Death allows rock to occupy a place in the mainstream. This is the trajectory of history. On the album's year-end sales charts, Glory to Death relied on "Almost Fame" and "Bath the Morning Light" to get two positions, and both ranked among the top five; and on the singles year-end sales charts, glory to death again Relying on one's own strength broke the pattern of rhythm and blues, pop, and the country's joint hegemony.
"A Beautiful Day (.day is an absolute classic that relies on its 14 consecutive championships, and has sold 2.66 million in the whole year. In the era when digital audio sources are not yet popular, the single sales measurement standard is not " "Three million" is "one million", because albums were the subject of people's consumption in the 1990s compared to singles. Therefore, the achievement of "Good Day" easily aspired to the championship of the year-end single sales in 1994!
The single "Good Day" is not only a good word of mouth, but also shows a momentum of destruction in terms of sales. It is generally considered to be a single that has the hope of hitting the incredible sales threshold of 4 million.
The second runner-up was the single "." by the Miami-based hip-hop group 6. 9 Boys (6.9.). This single exceeded everyone's expectations and achieved sales of 2.33 million. Overcome countless strong singles on the year-end charts and occupy the runner-up place.
The reason for the accident is that the highest ranking of this single on the Billboard singles chart is only eighth, and it has never been in the top five. However, this song has become a lot of public gatherings, parties, festivals, etc. The biggest hot single in the sports competition scene, relying on its widespread circulation from April to the end of the year, finally accumulated sales of swords to create incredible brilliance.
These are the only two singles that sold more than two million in 1994.
In the third place is the single "**(..up from the girl duo Girl with a Thousand Faces (.). This single has the best result after its release in June, which is also the third place, but the cumulative sales are not. Reached a staggering 1.97 million, a remarkable result.
It’s not surprising that the runners-up and the third-place have unfamiliar faces one after another. On the one hand, the on-demand radio on the bulletin board's charts occupies an important factor, and the high sales volume does not necessarily lead to the championship; on the other hand, it is also because this year's glory is dead and four people are one. , Boy-man groups, etc. are too strong. When their opponents burst out with super-high sales, the singles of these singers often have more explosive power. So those singles that did not win the championship rely on their staying power and are on the year-end chart. Occupying an advantage on the list.
Another glorious single "Don't be annoyed by the past (, t...in.anger Although the sales volume reached 1.6 million in August, it was still not what people expected after all. UU reading www.uukanshu.com crossed the two million threshold, and finally accumulated sales of 1.95 million, which is only less than 20,000 sales behind the "**", ranking first.
After that, the boy-man group "I Will Be Tender With You" took the fifth place with 1.8 million sales.
The top five of the year-end singles sales chart is obviously beyond many people's expectations, but the strength of "Good Day" and the excellence of "Don't be upset by the past" are still expected. In addition, " The high position of "I will stay with you" is also an answer that has been guessed a long time ago.
From movie box office charts to album sales charts to singles sales charts, Hugo’s names all rank among the top five. There is no doubt that "Hugo Lancaster" was the most shining in 1994. Even if this is a classic year, even if this is a year where a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend, Hugo's momentum can be regarded as unique, and it has completed all-round rule in all aspects.
But obviously, in the single year-end sales charts, there are still many familiar faces that have not appeared, and Glory to Death has once again occupied the third place in the top ten, once again with a terrifying posture. A new history! (To be continued a2213508 provided. If you like this work, you are welcome to read it, and vote for the recommended monthly ticket for the work.
