Excitement and excitement.

The only thing people need to know is when "Independence Day" will create the myth of 500 million box office in North America; and relatively speaking. , This war of the century has just begun, and it is impossible to predict the end. This has completely exploded everyone's curiosity.

Almost everyone is no exception, in the heated discussion about who will win the first round of the battle of the century.

The Oasis band has shown great power in the British mainland, with good news again and again; Maria-Kelly has obtained most of the support on the east coast and performed outstandingly; glory to death on the west coast is unmatched, almost leading the way by sweeping.

This is a three-legged war, just like the perfect result that people expect: the three strong collide, but no one is left behind. On the contrary, it also stimulated the endless courage and energy of the entire market, and completely detonated the music market. The frenzy of the three, you chase me after the three, the victory or defeat is completely between the slightest, and no one can judge the victory or defeat at the last moment.

This has also made the entire War of the Century full of countless suspense. Fox TV set up special columns to report on special programs. The scrolling column updated the information of the war of the century for the first time. This move has been enthusiastically sought after by countless viewers. The average viewership reached 4.3 million, and the peak viewership even reached 6 million, causing an uproar in the entire music market and TV stations.

This suspenseful battle of the century has attracted the attention of more than a thousand media around the world. Everyone is paying close attention to the development of the competition, looking forward to the final result, and looking forward to the final victory of the singers they support. , Looking forward to the ultimate glorious moment, looking forward to creating a new history in the music market.

The sunset on September 23 has not yet gone down the mountain. The world’s top record houses such as HMV Records, Taoer Records, and Viking Records have announced that they have branches in London, Los Angeles, New York, Tokyo, Chicago and other cities. , Have refreshed their own sales records, and the chain effect caused by the war of the century has gradually emerged. The sales of major record stores not only bravely hit a single-day high, but many of them sold in just one day in the previous week. Unreachable height!

Thanks to the fact that many large record shops in the city centre were blocked by the turbulent crowds, many small record shops in remote areas have also ushered in a sales frenzy, and even in some small towns, there is only one record shop in a single day. Thousands of singles have been sold, which is almost equivalent to their monthly sales. The global record market is showing a thriving scene.

There is no need to wait until the end of this day, and people can already be sure: this war of the century has already set countless records like a broken bamboo. Glory to Death, Oasis and Maria have joined forces to drive the prosperity of the global music market and opened this up. A magnificent new chapter.

Due to the time difference, Australia and New Zealand, which were the first to enter September 24, announced the first day of the battle. In this piece of land in Oceania where the music market is not prosperous, Maria, who is finally the powerful, took the lead in winning the first prize!

This female singer, who has gradually become the queen of dolphin music in the world, made a bold new attempt on the first wave of the new album's first single "Sweetheart", and found a beautiful mix of rhythm and blues and hip-hop music, with first-class fluency The melody is very recognizable, and Maria’s familiar interpretation method has received good feedback.

In Australia and New Zealand, Maria's popularity and awareness are significantly higher than the two rock bands that have never arrived in this land. It is logical to win here. However, due to the weakness of the music market, Maria has not gained much advantage, with a single day sales of more than 34,000 copies, which is only ahead of the two competitors' sales by a few thousand.

However, the Japanese market, which announced the results immediately afterwards, once again strengthened Maria's confidence, because in this land, she has received unprecedented enthusiasm, and the explosive Japanese music market made the song "Sweetheart" harvest on the first day. With a sales volume of 330,000, it not only broke the single sales record of foreign singers held by Whitney Houston in Japan, but was also far ahead of the two competitors.

The glorious "Young Volcano (. has sold 220,000 copies in Japan. Although the results are still good, this is currently the fourth largest single-day sales record for foreign singers in Japan, but it is still rejected by Maria. A long distance; while the Oasis band’s "Do you know what I mean?" scored 190,000 sales. The vertical comparison is still an outstanding record, and it can be among the top ten foreign singers in Japan, but the horizontal comparison is lagging behind. Two competitors.

Japan is currently the second largest music market in the world after the United States, and its market potential and explosive power far exceed those of the United Kingdom. Japan is especially capable of short-term explosive power that even the United States cannot compete. However, the real strength of the Japanese music market lies in supporting local singers. Although foreign singers have a good record here, they are not worth mentioning compared to local singers.

Even so, Maria's ability to grab the Japanese market is still a hearty victory!

In the Asian and Oceania regions that were first announced in the early stage, Maria highlighted her huge appeal. This is also a direct manifestation of the current global market’s mainstream popularity and rhythm and blues. Although rock and roll is vigorous in the United Kingdom and the United States, it is more powerful than in the 1960s. In terms of the madness that has taken the world by storm, the current rock and roll is far from having such a strong influence, and it is non-mainstream alternative music in most areas.

Immediately afterwards, the real highlight will be on the stage. In North America, the main battlefield and the origin of the War of the Century, the Triwizard War can be said to be inextricably inextricable, from the east coast to the west coast, from remoteness. From the desolate state of Arkansas to the sensual state of Nevada, from the thriving agricultural state of North Dakota to the canyon-ridden Arizona, the war of the War of the Century has burned to every corner, making everyone deeply feel the spirit of movies and music. A huge driving force for life.

Even people who don't care about music will either tease or ridicule the two sentences, expressing that they have no interest in the War of the Century. But the facts have proved that they have also become a part of the war of the century!

The Recording Industry Association of America announced the final results of the first day of the War of the Century at 8 o'clock in the morning on the 24th. The "Good Morning America", "Today" and Fox TV's "Good Day Live" are all The results of this war of the century were broadcast live for the first time. Of course, countless radio stations across the United States also broadcast the results to people on the way to work.

"Glory to death!"

"Glory to death!"

"Glory to death!"

Almost everyone is shouting this name, because this is the final winner of the first round of the "War of the Century" on September 23, 1996!

In an instant, the name of glory to death rang over countless cities across the United States, from TV stations to radio stations, from presenters to audiences, from the bustling city center to remote towns, the sound of "Glory to Death" rang disorderly. Get up and gather into a shouting voice, just like the momentum led by the "Young Volcano" when creating the scene, showing an unparalleled powerful appeal, shaking the entire North American continent, and proclaiming a glorious victory to the death. The trend that belonged to glory to death continued incessantly.

In this powerful battle of the century, North America, the main battlefield, finally declared a glorious victory, ending the first day of the battle!

This is an unexpected but reasonable result. Although Glory to Death has not released an album for more than two years, and there has been no activity for nearly one and a half years, it is still the most watched rock in the entire North American continent. band. In the second half of last year, a song called "Apologize ( suppressed Maria for eight weeks, leaving the queen singer out of breath and even said no to complaining. come out.

At that time, "Apologize" was already the fourth single of the album "Bath the Morning Light", and Maria's "Fantasy" was the first wave of the new album's singles. Maria was still suppressed with nothing to say; and now, In the first round of singles, although people accidentally lost again with Maria to Glory to Death, it is reasonable to imagine carefully.

The most frightening thing is that Glory to Death sold 430,000 sales in one day in a destructive posture!

Forty-three million, what does this mean? This means that in North America this single has sold more than one million people and hopes to enter the top 20 music market at the end of the year. It only took a day to burst out with energy that is infinitely close to the golden record! This means that glory to death easily broke a lot of historical records. You must know that when the "Magic Wall ( created a miracle last year, the sales volume in the first week was only 230,000, but now the "Young Volcano" won it in just one day. achievement! This means that the War of the Century has exploded with unprecedented energy in North America, giving the music market new vitality!

Is this scene familiar? It is indeed a little familiar, reminiscent of "Independence Day" which was released on Independence Day.
