The resurgence of 553 platinum sales "almost fame" directly broke 430,000 sales in the last week of December, which not only pushed the cumulative sales of the album to 1.22 million in one fell swoop, it became the first glory to death. Zhang Zijin's album; At the same time, he also let Glory to Death continuously complete the surpassing of Mitterlaufer and Pearl Sauce, becoming the champion of the billboard rock classification list in the last week of 1993!

Such an outcome is indeed no one can predict.

After many years, when people mentioned 1993, they would always think of the lively scene of rock revival, so much so that important rock music fans are always arguing whether the real golden age of rock should be 1977 or 1993.

It was called a classic in 1977 not only because rock reached its peak this year, but also because punk really entered the mainstream music market through germination and development, forming a prosperous scene of contending hundreds of schools of thought. Punk was the most distinctive and colorful mark in 1977.

It was called a classic in 1993, not only because the grunge rock represented by Nirvana and Pearl Paste reached its peak, but also the old rock strength represented by Guns and Roses and the Smith spacecraft were still active. At the same time, it was also because of the British rock and the new The strong rise of metal rock has allowed rock to reappear the chaos of the Spring, Autumn and Warring States period. Classic masterpieces have emerged one after another, and the rock dynasty has reproduced the glory of its peak period.

When people recall the glory of 1993, Glory to Death will become a band that cannot be ignored. This band was born in the second half of the year. Road tours, street performances, and unusual styles of music became a topic of time. It was launched at the end of the year. After the first album "Almost Fame", it boldly broke the existing rock pattern and completely pushed the grunge rock at its peak into the ranks of "junk", bravely and exceptionally blending different music styles into rock and roll. , Thus forming a new pattern of rock and roll in the next twenty years. This is the beginning.

And the album "Almost Fame" in the five weeks of the end of the year set off a crazy pursuit week by week, and in just five weeks, it has become a band that has become a self-gold album. This feat may not be unprecedented or unprecedented. Coming, but considering the breakthrough'nature' of the "almost fame" album, people can't help but compare this album with the "Don't Mind" that appeared in 1999.

"Don't Mind" came out in 1991, after overturning the entire rock world, it became one of the most important albums in the 70-year history of rock and roll. So, can the historical status of "nearly fame" reach such a high level? At least the performance at the end of 1993 is convincing, and further breakthroughs in 1994 can only be'handed over' to time to prove.

In the last week of December, the five albums of Glory to Death, Pearl Sauce, Mitterlaufer, Guns and Roses, and Smith Spaceship ranked among the top five on the rock and roll classification charts. Among them, Smith who completed the counterattack at the end of the year was in the top five. The spaceship, which pulled the Broken Pumpkins and Nirvana into the top five, is undoubtedly worthy of attention. This is also the most true portrayal of the blooming of a hundred "flowers" in 1993.

Grunge rock represents pearl sauce, alternative rock represents Mitteraufer, hard rock represents guns and roses, and metal rock represents the Smith spacecraft. To the death to break through this encircled and aspired rock category list champion, it can definitely be called Great portion and extraordinary achievement!

In the glorious 1993, the footprint of glory to death was so deeply imprinted in the history of music.

At the same time, on the billboard album rankings, Mariah Carey was full of stamina and once again won the championship; at the end of the year, the "nearly fame" who completed the consternation broke out from the ninth place directly to the runner-up position, which is also no one. It can be expected that every week of glory to death is creating a new history for the band, and now, they are only one step away from the Billboard Championship 7

Don't underestimate this mere step. How many singers have fallen above this ‘door’ threshold, and have been unable to ‘touch’ the top spot on the billboard album charts for a lifetime. Therefore, the next performance of Glory to Death is also very worth looking forward to. In the end, it is the end of the achievement of glory, and the passage of time will give the most clear answer.

Behind the glory to death, it was Pearl Sauce’s "Defense" album. This album tenaciously stuck to the third place on the billboard album charts, standing firm; while the Snoop Dogg who had a significant decline could only slip. It’s the third place; Frank Sinatra, who had a significant sales boost at the end of the year, returned to the fifth place, while Mitterraover regretted taking sixth place.

"Almost Fame" created its best record on the Billboard Albums Chart since its release, and only lags behind Mariah Carey's "Music Box" in runner-up. This was originally a thing worthy of applause and congratulations, but as The "Witch Trial" that has been raging in recent times said that if the entertainment media only reports this fact, obviously no audience will be willing to watch such news. Therefore, the media must dig out more entertainment factors and package the news. More attractive

Of course, under the mountains of the "women's trial", the news media dare not act rashly, but they cannot fabricate facts and think arbitrarily. This does not mean that they cannot dig into the news. "Entertainment Weekly" unearthed a piece of inside information that attracted people's attention.

Mariah Carey and the glory to death duel!

The gossip reporter of "Entertainment Weekly" is obviously a professional, he keenly smelled the commonality between Maria and Glory to Death: Henry Bloom

As the discoverer and behind the scenes of Maria, Henry has a good reputation in the music industry. He is known for his keen sense of smell and the ability to show off the market. When Maria went to New York to find her dreams, she was actually not optimistic. After all, the fashion trends at the time Not a singer like Maria, but Henry not only discovered Maria’s talent, but also accurately positioned and packaged Maria to the public.

More importantly, Henry found the first live performance stage for Maria: the midfield performance of the NBA Finals in 990. It was this performance stage that made the audience in the United States realize Maria’s abilities and talents. Maria’s iconic “sexual” high pitch and silky sound quality won the hearts of many audiences. Two months later, Maria got the first announcement. No. 1 on the brand singles chart; one month later, Maria’s first album reached self-gold sales.

Fame in one fell swoop.

It can be said that Henry played an important role in it. In the early 1990s, communications were relatively closed. The channels for people to understand news were limited to newspapers and radio stations. It was not easy to promote the singer, Maria’s Success undoubtedly needs to remember Henry's indelible credit for the agent.

But afterwards, Maria, who had succeeded in two albums, betrayed Henry and chose a brighter future. Although only the parties knew the specific inside story, after that, Henry fell into a slump and Maria’s career became more and more successful. This fact But everyone in the circle knows it all.

Now, Henry has signed a new artist again after two years, and it is another bold and brave attempt-a rock band that breaks through. The road to glory to death depends more on its own efforts. Whether it is a road tour or a rock style change, it comes from the strength of the band itself. In the case of communication blockage, it has achieved an incredible topical effect. In just five weeks, he completed the self-bonded sales of his first album, with outstanding results.

But no one can ignore the vitality that Henry injected into glory to death: EMI Records’ contract cannot be ignored. The resources of major radio stations, the wide range of distribution channels, and the perfection of publicity schedules are huge advantages; at the same time Henry also maintains for the band Enough freedom and'sex' are indispensable.

According to "Entertainment Weekly", Glory to Death is Henry's weapon to re-conquer the music market after two years of dormancy. At the same time, Glory to Death is Henry's bet to prove his ability to Maria and to insiders. After all, Henry was abandoned by Maria at the beginning, and the disappearance of Henry from Henry also made people have to guess: Henry was greatly injured, so now Henry is in the sight of the industry again, people are easy to think of this aspect.

Although Glory To Death and Maria are two distinctly different styles of singers, even if they are placed on Grammys, they compete in different fields, but this does not affect the competition between the two, the sales confrontation, the popularity confrontation, and the achievements. The confrontation between the two is the content that can be compared between the two.

Of course, this matchup is not fair. Maria is now at the peak of her career. This is the result of an explosion after more than three years of accumulation; and the glory to death is only five weeks after her debut. The strength of the two sides is not the same. Level. But even so, the competition between the two is enough to burst into flames.

Although Maria’s new album "Music Box" was officially certified by the Recording Industry Association of America () on December 15th, the sales of this album has officially passed the 4 million threshold; But Glory to Death’s first album "Almost Fame" will soon be certified by the Recording Industry Association of America in the first week of January 1994. A rookie band such as Glory to Death achieved this in just five weeks. Standard ~www.readwn.com~ It can be seen that the contrast of power is not as obvious as it seems on the surface.

What's more, at the end of the year, the storm of public opinion caused by the glorious lead singer Hugo can be said to have completely exploded Maria. Hugo is now the hottest artist in the entire United States, so it is not yet known who will die.

In this way, the singer who was also handled by Henry, whether Maria who betrayed Henry won, or Henry's comeback glory to death is better, this has become an expected duel.

This kind of speculation by "Entertainment Weekly" was also supported by the ranking of the Billboard Albums Chart in the last week of 1993, and it became more and more "sexual". Surprisingly, it attracted the attention of many viewers. "Houston The Chronicle also followed suit and made a related report, which sparked more discussions.

This again confirmed the theory of Columbia University professor Richard John: the demand of the public triggers the supply of media.

The excitement of the news media has become the last footnote in 1993, and it has also become a historical picture of "almost fame" self-financing sales!. )
