Superstar

The debut of "Apologize ( was unexpected by many people. Whether it was the timing of release or the choice of repertoire, there was a strong British black humor. EMI Records made North America in a ridiculous way. The music market has seen their national culture.

However, this timing is indeed more sensitive. On the one hand, the aftermath of the Hugo incident is still fermenting, and major media appear to be cautious in reporting. Too much pursuit will turn into malicious hype, and too low-key will evolve into joint suppression; On the other hand, the absolute strength of "Miqiang ( has also ushered in a blowout in the sales of "Bath in the Morning Light". Under such circumstances, the album's fourth single is released. Obviously, there is not much left in the market.

But even so, the spoof fun of EMI Records still got the response of the young volcanoes. The first week of "Apologize" sales still ushered in an explosive frenzy. The sales figure of 250,000 even exceeded the first week of "Magic Wall". , The outstanding performance is really staggering!

On August 22 last year, Glory To Death officially released their second album "Bath the Morning Light", which was an incredible success; now that one year has passed, "Bath the Morning Light" released the album. The fourth single in, in the case of such a long line of publicity, especially the release of "Apology", it has been nearly two months since the "Magic Wall" slipped from the championship throne. All of this has increased. How difficult it is for a single to achieve excellent results.

But under such difficult circumstances, the "apology" broke out in sales of 250,000 in the first week, which is absolutely a miracle, allowing people to once again appreciate the absolute strength of glory to death and now sweeping the wasteland.

In particular, the special meaning of the song "apology" makes the position of the media even more embarrassing.

The uncrowned kings now have no other choice but to bite the bullet and assume that they don't know the hidden meaning behind the "apology", and simply report on the latest single of Glory To Death, as if nothing happened. This kind of dumb suffering of eating huanglian makes all the major media miserable. Except for the "Los Angeles Times" and "New York Times" and a few other media that are still upright and unaffected, many media have nothing to do with this situation. Is shaking his head to express helplessness.

If the witch trial incident caught the media by surprise, then everyone complained more than reviewed, complained about Hugo's unrelenting, complained that the matter was blurred, and complained that they did not respond in time. Almost all uncrowned kings. They only converged for a while, and then returned to normal - or even intensified, because this is the direction of the market economy. The readers will not buy it if the gossip is not fierce, the blood is not enough, and the explosion points are not bright enough. The uncrowned kings also hope to teach Hugo a lesson and return all the losses of the witch trial to Hugo.

So this time the Hugo incident completely silenced the media. Of course, it is impossible to change the status quo of society and the market economy. Ordinary people are always curious about the privacy, gossip, scandal, and inside information of public figures. Then the media cannot return to serious news in a serious manner. On the route. But this incident has made every media realize that it is not allowed to make up, but they must have a bottom line to stick to, otherwise entertainment to death will only push themselves into the abyss.

For example now.

Colin Mailer was completely upset in the past two days. No matter where he goes, the melody of "apology" will swarm from all directions, and those lines of lyrics are stabbed in his chest like a dagger, even if he I want to deny it, as if my heart is also mocking that this is reality. Early this morning, it kicked off with an "apology." Even the rare bright sun in New York could not save Colin's bad mood.

Walking into the newspaper office building, the eyes of others at the door looking up and down made Colin feel that he had nowhere to escape, as if he had committed a mistake of being ashamed of seeing others. Others were even ashamed to mention it and felt those sights. , Colin's chest was filled with depression, and there was no way to clear it.

Entering the elevator, Colin saw a stranger, he nodded politely to say hello, then pressed his own floor, and suddenly the stranger next to him asked, "Is Charlie Sheen's wedding ceremony cancelled? ?"

Colin was stunned, and looked at the stranger carefully. He had no impression at all. He looked like an ordinary white-collar worker on the other floors of the same building, "Sorry, I don't know."

The stranger frowned slightly, showing an expression of disgust, as if saying, "Being a bitch. You have to set up an archway." Just a look made Colin's old face flush quickly, but he couldn't say anything. The elevator stopped, the stranger glanced at Colin contemptuously, and then left calmly.

Colin stood in place, stupefied that there was no way to speak, not even a single word.

Once upon a time, the uncrowned king was such a noble existence, and even lawyers, doctors, teachers and other professions were ranked as the most desirable jobs for people. But now, they need to bear unprecedented treatment: condemnation, contempt, rejection, and contempt. People seem to have put the label of "gossip" on reporters, and a fixed impression for the sake of gossip news has begun to form in people's minds, and the image of "truth, credibility, and respect" has gradually faded away.

Now, the uncrowned king is facing an unprecedented crisis of public trust. When their reader base refuses to believe it, is it necessary for them to exist? The turmoil set off on August 5, along with the passage of time, is affecting the development of the entire industry bit by bit.

"Apologize" won 250,000 sales in the first week of its release, and it clearly represents the people's ridicule and rejection of the uncrowned king. Although most of them are promoted by young volcanoes, they are indeed expressing this way. The true inner thoughts, and this true thoughts have spread slowly among ordinary people, and will become more and more ironic with the continuous spread of "apologies".

No one can believe that a song, a love song describing a breakup, can actually be a weapon to attack the uncrowned king. This makes people trance back to the 1960s, when hippies used music as a weapon to fight against the entire society. That supreme glory made everyone so yearning and nostalgic.

What's even more ridiculous is that the song "Apologize" itself is full of sad, bitter, tangled, and painful emotions, but it is now given a mocking black humor, which also makes the song sublime unintentionally.

Glory to death seems to have created something invisible.

Although the results of the first week of "Apologize" were very good, the music market in September was extremely lively. Therefore, although this single has erupted with strong energy under the black belly of young volcanoes, it was announced this week. The card can still only be ranked fourth, which shows that the competition for the singles chart this week is fierce.

In fact, the excitement of the entire music market began in April, and it continued successfully throughout the summer and into the fall. Starting from the 15th consecutive championship of the Glory to Death Billboard singles chart, the competition for singles has entered a fierce stage, and it has reached its peak after September.

In the first week of September, the top five on the Billboard Singles Chart were all underdogs. Michael Jackson's "You Are Not Alone (. Are..., Culio's "Gangsta's.", Schill "Kiss of Rose (...a., "Apologize" to the death of glory, "Waterfall", these five singles ranked top five in this week's bulletin board singles list, and the bayonet saw red. The competition is evident.

Among the four contenders for "apology", the rap rookie Culio, who relied on "Magic Journey" to rise strongly last year, performed the strongest. This time he brought the movie "Dangerous Game" starring Michelle Pfeiffer. theme song "Gangster Paradise", this song has achieved super popularity, in the case of movie word-of-mouth and box office is not satisfactory, the song exploded with powerful energy, and continued to continue to rise after the release Momentum, this week took the runner-up position strongly.

And Schell’s "Kiss of Rose" is absolutely qualified to become a classic. This song not only received a lot of attention as the theme song of the movie "Batman Forever", but also received unanimous praise from music critics. ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ thinks this song can be regarded as the most completed track since the glorious death of last year's "Good Day (.day. "The Kiss of the Rose" was also enthusiastically welcomed by the audience. Although it has never been able to win the championship, it stayed in the runner-up position for many weeks and completed a strong seven-week consecutive runner-up. This week it only slipped to the third place by a slight advantage. .

The other song "Waterfall" is the famous terminator-the hot track that ended the 15th consecutive championship of "The Wall". After completing multiple weeks of championships, although it slipped from the first place, it still maintained its continuity. Persistent heat. And this time, the glorious "apology" once again confronted the "waterfall" and gained the upper hand as soon as it boarded, which is also quite interesting.

It can be said that the first week of September’s billboard singles chart competition is unprecedentedly fierce. Although it is not uncommon for two or three hits to appear at the same time before this, it is really rare that the top five are very popular. , Both in terms of sales and on-demand radio, including the reputation of music critics, have given these five songs a positive and unanimous affirmation, which also means that the next bulletin board singles chart will become more intense. In this situation, it is not easy for the "apology" to be airborne in the first week of its release.

Of course, Michael Jackson, who won the first week of September, is absolutely the focus of attention. It can be said that after experiencing the glory of the "Magic Wall", Michael Jackson has become a well-deserved keyword in the music market.
