Superstar

Faced with the strong debut of "fantasy", even if it is a breakthrough to win the championship for the next week, "apology" has been in a rush to win the championship for eight consecutive weeks. The rainbow momentum makes everyone unable to help but I have to say that this is definitely the United States. A showdown in the booming music market that made the audience fascinated!

"Apologize" and "Fantasy" joined forces to offer a high-quality and strong confrontation, Glory to Death demonstrated their unmatched sturdy dominance, and pushed the new rock wave that started in 1993 to a new peak. ; Mariah Carey relied on the excellent performance of her new album "Daydream" to show her true queen again, but she repeatedly suffered setbacks on the singles charts, restrained by the strength of glory to death, unable to break through for eight consecutive weeks. "Apologize" for blocking the championship, which is no less than a shame for Maria.

In fact, the "tragedy" experienced by Maria has been experienced by many people before, such as four people in one, or boy-man group, they have personally experienced this bad feeling of hitting a wall repeatedly, their music All of them have been well received by music critics, and they have also been warmly welcomed by the audience. Both sales and on-demand radio rates, including word-of-mouth, have achieved great success, but they have not been able to experience true brilliance. , The only reason is that they all encountered glory to death.

Especially the boy-man group.

This rhythm and blues group that swept the entire 1990s is enough to occupy a place in the music history, let alone directly promote the great success of men's groups such as Backstreet Boys, West Side Boys, and Super Boys. The success of the boy-man group is not only that their music has opened up a perfect fusion of rhythm and blues, soul, and pop, but also because they have demonstrated the power of harmony and division among the members of the group. Their singing has enriched the music. More exciting.

It is different from the establishment of the later group because the members have their own shortcomings. As a solo singer is not enough to succeed, so they have to form a group. The four members of the boy-man group have super abilities, and their harmony is even better. It created a new trend and created countless miracles.

The boy-man group is undoubtedly one of the most appealing singers in the entire pop music market. Their peaceful appearance has won the love of countless teenagers, but they have repeatedly encountered glories on the road to constantly creating miracles. Sniper to death, to be more precise, is a suppression of glory to death.

The boy-man group and the glory-to-death Yuliang complex have become the main theme of the entire North American music market. Although the boy-man group is so beautiful and even recognized on the Grammys, the glory to death seems to be lying in front of them. A big mountain of, can never be climbed, which has become the biggest regret of the brilliant career of the boy-man group.

Similarly, although Maria will not use the term "Yuliang Complex" to describe the competition between her and Glory to Death, in her opinion, she is the one who has the absolute upper hand, and Glory to Death is not even qualified to be compared with her. , It’s just a jumping clown who relies on temporary topics to get attention; but the objective fact is that from the “Music Box” of the previous year to this year’s “Daydream”, it is difficult for Maria to be in the face of glory to death for two consecutive albums. Have the upper hand.

It is worth mentioning that although the "Music Box" has achieved success in 1993 against "Nearly Fame", by the time of the release of "Daydream", the total sales of "Nearly Fame" has exceeded that of "Music Box". ".

This time the "fantasy" was firmly suppressed by the "apology", which is even more of a shame for Maria!

Under such circumstances, the classic song "Sweet Day", jointly dedicated by Maria and the boy-man group, hits strongly. This is also called "heavyweight teamwork confrontation" by many media, which reminds many people of the end of last year. , Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt jointly performed the confrontation between "Interview with the Vampire" and "Pulp Fiction".

The result of the confrontation at that time is still fresh in everyone's memory. "Interview with Vampires at Night" only persisted for four weeks, and it fell into a smashing turmoil. "Pulp Fiction" achieved an incredible victory. What about this time?

Facing the "Sweet Day" to be released in the fourth week of November, major media have launched a lively discussion. "Apologize" has completed eight consecutive championships at this time, so can it continue to be strong?

Glory to death has swept the 42-week billboard singles chart champion in the past year, and already has two singles with double-digit winning weeks. In the entire long musical occasion, there is only " Elvis Presley and Glory To Death enjoy this honor. Such a feat has already achieved countless top stars such as The Beatles, Michael Jackson, Frank Sinatra, Whitney Houston, Madonna, etc. Can't.

So, if the "apology" achieves glory to death, the third single that won the championship in ten weeks, this is undoubtedly the last impetus to push the rock renaissance wave to the peak in the past few years, and it is also the achievement of glory to death. Now the decisive weapon of supreme glory in the 70s!

Obviously, this task is not easy. Don't say that "apology" is not a disadvantage that everyone is optimistic about. It is not easy to deal with the threat of a "sweet day" alone. Having won eight consecutive championships has been called a "miracle", can "apologies" continue to shock the entire North American music market?

The fourth week of November’s bulletin board singles chart gave the answer: no.

From the perspective of the global market share of music genres, rhythm and blues and pop are undoubtedly the absolute mainstream, and they also have an irreplaceable position in the North American country. Even rock and roll have gained momentum in recent years, a hundred flowers blossoming, a hundred schools of thought, and a comprehensive revival. The nature of rock itself determines their personality, their stubbornness, their rebellion, and their thinking is difficult to completely fit the mainstream. Therefore, rock is always at a disadvantage when facing R&B.

Prior to this, Glory to Death had successively achieved advantages over the four-person one, Maria, boy-man group and other rhythm and blues representatives, including the feat of "apology" over the "fantasy", which is already against the market. But this time, "Apologize" finally exhausted after winning the championship for eight consecutive weeks, failing to continue his miraculous journey.

Originally, "Apologize" completed eight consecutive championships, and stepped on Maria's shoulders. This was an absolute victory worthy of a special book; but when the billboard singles chart was announced in the fourth week of November, people discovered that When "apologies" failed to bring their championship weeks to "9", they all expressed disappointment. For a single that has completed eight consecutive championships, and it is from an album released 16 months ago, it has such high expectations. Such a scene can be called a spectacle.

But what is surprising is that it is not an "apology" to win this week, but it is not a "sweet day", but another queen, Whitney Houston!

Whitney sang the theme song "Exhale" for the movie "Wake up until the dream (.. Exhale, which is starring Whitney and starred by the future Oscar actor Forest Whitaker. (.) The box office and reputation of the directed film in the movie market can only be said to be mediocre, but the theme song sung by Whitney is very popular, and it airborne to the top of the billboard singles chart, becoming the history of music. The first female singer to win the airborne single championship, once again proved her queen status.

This undoubtedly gave Maria another shot.

In the fourth week of November, "Exhausted", "Apologize", "Fantasy", "You Are Not Alone", and "Gangster Paradise" were ranked in the top five places, while the "Sweet Day" that just entered the list was just a place. Ranked eighty-first.

But from an objective standpoint, although "Sweet Day" was released this week, it was officially released on Saturday. In other words, it only has two days to accumulate sales and hit the rankings. Faced with this situation, The 81st place in the first week is just a cumulative result, and it can be seen as a deliberate effort by Sony Records: They hope that the "sweet day" can accumulate a little bit, and then complete the explosion in both sales and radio on-demand next week.

Therefore, such a situation is unexpected, but reasonable.

In the first week of December, the billboard singles rankings were reshuffled. "Sweet One Day" easily won the championship with 240,000 sales data. "Exhausted" and "Apologize" ranked second and third respectively. !

In an instant, all the news media were enthusiastic, which also marked the first time that Maria and the boy-man combination were facing the glory-to-death strength and achieved a hearty victory with absolute advantage.

Although the strong team teamed up against the fourth single from the album released in August last year-and it was still a single that had been on the market for more than twelve weeks, this victory seemed a bit invincible. But none of this matters anymore. What matters is that they won!

This also pushes the Yuliang complex between Glory to Death, Maria, and Boy Man to a new peak: now it is no longer the only family in Glory to Death~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Maria and the boy man combination has also been realized. Counterattack, the future competition among several singers will only become fiercer and more interesting. In what way this Yuliang complex will end is worthy of everyone's expectation.

After "Sweet Day" won its first victory, it seemed like a break, and it pushed the confrontation of the Yuliang complex to the peak in one go. The song gained unprecedented popularity in the North American market, and the number of consecutive championship weeks went from one to five. It reached ten, and then fifteen. It surpassed the 14-week consecutive championship record of "I will always love you" and "Good day (.day with a sweeping trend, and then it strongly tied the "Wall of Mystery" (.day). The number of consecutive championship weeks has caused a sensation in the entire North American music market.

Immediately after the third week of April, "Sweet Day" once again defeated a group of competitors, achieved an incredible 16-week consecutive championship, surpassed the "Magic Wall" and took this historical record into his arms alone and became a bulletin board. The single with the most consecutive championship weeks in history.

The combination of Maria and the boy-man combination created this great miracle, and at the same time declared the absolute status of R&B in the North American music market with a destructive force. Now, Maria and the boy-man combination have created an insurmountable peak, and the battle book has been submitted. Who will break this record in the future?

Will it be glory to death?
