Chapter 646： First album title
ads_wz_txt;
Mariah Carey’s "Music Box" won the Billboard album chart in the last week of 1993, and the glorious "Almost Fame" was followed by runners-up. The two groups of singers were in the top spot. Competition has also become one of the topics that everyone talks about.
Mariah Carey and Glory To Death are both from the big-name agent Henry Bloom, and "Music Box" has received four platinum certification, and "Almost Fame" has just received platinum certification. At present, the two are different. Ranked first and second on the billboard album charts, the competition between these two albums or two groups of singers is indeed worth paying attention to.
In fact, it has proved so. In the first week of 1994, the flat period of the film and music market after entering the New Year made the billboard album chart almost unchanged. Last week’s top five Mariah Carey, Glory To Death, Pearl The sauce band, Snoopy Doggo, and Frank Nach continued to this week as they were, and there were not many changes even in the top ten.
Although there is no change in the ranking, sales have generally declined. For example, "Almost Fame" last week had a sturdy figure of 430,000, but this week it dropped all the way to 200,000. Even so, "Almost Fame" still kept its runner-up position. It can be seen that the downturn of the entire entertainment market in the first week after the New Year is indiscriminately attacked. From music to movies, it is silent.
This is also the reason why the winter file has always been called "bitter winter". Whether it is a movie or an album, they are not too keen to choose to come out in January, because this is the cold winter, because this is the low ebb after the new year, because this is the awards ceremony. A summary moment to occupy the line of sight, because this is the season of economic downturn after the attacks of Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.
The cold winter lasted from the first week of January to the second week. The top five on the Billboard Albums chart remained unchanged. The remaining five seats in the top ten were only slightly changed, but there were still no new faces. Appear. And this week’s sales figures fell further. Although "Almost Fame" still occupies the runner-up position, the weekly sales figures have fallen to 140,000, which is almost the same as the second week of the album's release.
It can be seen from this that both the film market and the music market in the United States have gradually formed a mature mechanism. Although the music market does not have the distinctive schedule division of the film market, there will still be some differences in time periods.
In the midst of this downturn, in the third week of January, the week that Glory to Death caused widespread discussion on the radio, Snoopy-Doggo took the lead and "Doggy Style" completed the counterattack. After the album was released Returning to the championship for the second time, we can see the powerful appeal of this hip-hop boss.
Due to the spoiler of Snoopy-Dogdog, this also caused the "Frozen" billboard album rankings to change. Maria still relied on the excellent reputation of the "Music Box" album to firmly occupy the runner-up throne, and the glory was to death. Although the single "Li" attracted widespread attention this week, the sales of the album "Almost Fame" did not soar to the sky. It only picked up slightly. The chaser goes beyond.
Pearl Sauce's album "Defense" also fell to fourth place correspondingly, while Janet Jackson's fifth solo album "Jenny (ja surpassed Frank S Natra and came to fifth place. Frank's work "duets" became the only album left behind among the top five, and even dropped out of the top ten all the way, occupying only the eighteenth place.
The following week, the music market recovered again due to Mariah Carey and Glory To Death's activity.
With the announcement of the nominations for the Grammy Awards, the albums linked to the Grammys have received enough attention. The excellent performance of the "Music Box" album is only for Maria to be nominated for the best female pop singer. The strong competitor Whitney Houston completely suppressed it, which also caused strong dissatisfaction among Maria fans, so the increase in sales of "Music Box" was even the most direct response to Grammys.
The album "Almost Fame" is also in a similar situation, but it has aroused more widespread discussion.
In fact, since the birth of Nirvana in 1991, alternative rock bands like them have not been seen by Grammys. Apart from the alternative music department, they have never been recognized in the rock department. The bands formed step by step from the underground rock circle have always been synonymous with "unorthodox" in the eyes of Grammys, which is unbearable for rock fans.
On the one hand, loyal rock fans reject Grammys, thinking that this kind of commercial event does not understand real rock and roll; but on the other hand, they complain about the unfair treatment of Nirvana, Pearl Sauce, etc., because of Grammys. After all, it is the world's authoritative ceremony and one of the four major art award ceremonies in the United States.
The Grammy's judgment on the gloriously deadly style once again exposed their conservative and stubbornness, which is a disaster for rock fans.
Under such circumstances, the sales of the two albums "Music Box" and "Almost Fame" have ushered in a resurgence, and with the excellent performance of "Lithium", the sales of "Almost Fame" ushered in. A gratifying increase.
"Music Box" scored 280,000 sales this week, an increase of nearly 40%, and performed very well; however, "Almost Fame" is even stronger, with a sales data of 360,000 this week, an increase Nearly 90%, almost doubled.
At the same time, the excellent performance of "Li" radio on-demand, which drove the on-demand data of the entire album "Almost Fame".
With such a two-pronged action, "Almost Fame" aspired to the top spot on the Billboard Albums Chart in the fourth week of January!
This is a historic moment. Nine weeks after its release, "Almost Fame" finally achieved the final breakthrough, achieving a goal that countless singers could never achieve, and rising to the top of the billboard album sales charts. At the same time He also brought his cumulative sales to the position of 2.13 million!
In just four weeks in January, the cumulative sales of 910,000, and the total album sales exceeded the threshold of 2 million, the dual platinum certification of the Recording Industry Association of America has been included in the bag.
"Almost fame" at this moment not only created a series of gratifying achievements, but also brought myself to the position of "don't mind" back then.
In September 1991, Nirvana's second studio album "Don't Mind" was officially released. In January of the following year, Nirvana defeated the powerful competitor Michael Jackson's album "Danger ( and got his own first. A billboard album champion, and pushed the album sales of "Don't Mind" past the 10 million threshold, and ignited a wave of grunge rock throughout the United States, completing the reign of the entire rock world.
Today, "Almost Fame" has only been released for nine weeks, and has taken the lead in beating Mariah Carey's five-platinum-certified album "Music Box" and topping the billboard album charts; although the current sales of "Almost Fame" It’s just over two million. It’s a long way from the “don’t mind” tens of millions of sales, but no one will deny the impact of “nearly fame” on the entire rock world, just as it was in the past. Don't mind".
The path of glory to death has just begun. Whether "nearly fame" can set off a new wave of dynasty change, the rest of 1994 will prove this point. Whether it is a hero or a panic, let's take a look. But the results of "Almost Fame" in the fourth week of January are undoubtedly exciting!
Compared with the impact of "almost fame" on the entire rock world, everyone is currently focusing on the glory of defeating Mariah Carey.
Relying on the outstanding performance of "Music Box", Mariah Carey has grown into a queen-level figure who can keep pace with Whitney Houston, and "Music Box" has obtained five platinum certification is the best proof, but in this The weekly sales are picking up, but Maria is far behind the explosive power of glory to death. The "Music Box" has been "nearly famous" without any suspense. This is a rare situation whether it is sales or on-demand. one sight.
Although this was just a week of victory and defeat, it was enough to make the media hype. The two groups of singers who belonged to Henry Bloom started a positive victory and defeat. In the end, the new singer defeated the old singer. This is also called by the media " "The battle of revenge", the glorious victory is even more called "sweet revenge."
"Entertainment Weekly" carried out a special report on this, "When Mariah Carey betrayed Henry Bloom, Henry once completely disappeared from the agent circle. At the beginning, Henry gave everything for Maria and pushed Maria up. At the peak of her career, Maria terminated the contract early for personal gain and moved to the arms of Columbia Records President Tommy Mottola (.)-the two entered the wedding hall on June 5 last year, this time betrayed After two years, Henry reappeared in the sight of the agent and returned to the music scene with talented glory to death. This time, glory to death became a subsidiary of EMI Records. The first album "Almost Fame" set off a frenzy comparable to "Don't Mind", and successfully defeated "Music Box" and won the Billboard Championship in the fourth week of January. This is undoubtedly a huge one. victory.
The fledgling rookie alternative rock band, defeated the pop diva, this victory is two years late, but it is so sweet and so happy. "
Although the hype in the media has given more meaning to this issue of the billboard album rankings, it is true. Many years later, when people look back at the "nearly famous" championship this time, they will still sigh, "That is not only glory." The first album title to the death, and also the beginning of a dynasty."
Stepping on Mariah Carey’s shoulders to create a dynasty, the grandeur of this dynasty is evident.
