The colorful colors of Vanity Fair always make people lose their way, which made Hugo lose confidence for a while, not only because he saw the process of other people losing themselves, but also because he almost lost it several times, but fortunately, the life There is always hope waiting at the corner, and the glorious partners persisted with their beliefs.

This is the true glory to death. Hugo, Neal, Fogin, Pedro, and Alfonso. The five of them form a community. They are partners fighting side by side. The road of Vanity Fair is always full of countless bumps. The path of dreams is even more thorny, so they must stand firmly beside each other so that they can gain the strength to go on.

Glory to the death rejects Grammys, not because other rock bands think that Grammys are too commercial, Glory to death does not exclude business. On the contrary, Hugo knows very well that art without commercial support will soon Will die. Although Grammys are commercial, it is also thanks to its extensive influence that has allowed many unknown outstanding musicians to step onto the big stage, while also allowing many ordinary people to appreciate the charm of music. Therefore, there is no need to condemn Grammy's business, even after the Grammy declines in the 21st century.

Glory to death rejected the Grammys, just because they did not get their own corresponding respect, just like the "Don't Mind" by the Nirvana band deserves the 34th Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album. This is what The correct sequence. Therefore, glory to death will not compromise, because this is a compromise that is not allowed. Such a compromise is equal to the self-denial of glory to death and the denial of one's own musical value.

Therefore, Glory to Death made the choice, just like the choice of the band's rock spirit, either glory or death. This time, they chose to abandon the glory of Grammy and insist on the glory that belongs to the band.

Perhaps, glory to death will pay a painful price for this, it may be that it will never miss the Grammy's Newcomer of the Year Award, it may be that the band like Nirvana and Pearl Sauce will never get the Grammy’s righteousness, or even It was the band that disappeared into the music world like a shooting star... But this is life. You must make a choice at a fork in the road, and then you must go on without looking back. Only by persisting in self can you not lose yourself.

Nathan just looked at the five members of Glory to Death who suddenly started to frolic. Even the serious-faced Fujin smiled. He suddenly felt that this scene looked really warm and harmonious. Although it has been more than half a year since Glory to Death appeared in front of everyone-counting from July, it may not be until now that everyone has really begun to gradually understand the charm of this band.

Nathan just laughed like this. He felt that it seemed like it wasn't a big deal not to attend the Grammys. The fact is also true. There are countless big names who are reluctant to attend the Grammys in history. Even the Oscars have many people who refuse to attend. Woody Allen and Marlon Brando have both had the experience of not attending to receive awards.

"I think, I probably know why Neal is the captain." Nathan broke everyone's joy with a smile, and made all five people look at him, "Because he is the only one who is willing to take care of trivial matters. people."

"Hahahaha..." Pedro was the first to applaud, expressing his support for Nathan with practical actions, while Neil sat next to him with a black line.

"Although it would be more appropriate to say'Don't be annoyed by the past (, t...in.anger) at this time, as the lyrics say,'Please don't waste your youth in a rock band, they will only make you sink in. ……"This is the greatest charm of the Glory To Death band; however, I am going to play another song from Glory To Death now, "Li ( not because it is the third track on the on-demand chart this week, And because this song can clearly see the stubbornness and wanton of the Glory to the Dead band, so let us enjoy this song, brought by Glory to the Death,'Lithium'."

Nathan proficiently introduced it, and then the song "Li" began to ring in front of every listener who listened to the radio. "I am so happy, because today, I have found my friends, and they are in my head..." Hugo's textured voice flows out in front of countless radios like mercury.

Although the album "Almost Fame" has been released for nearly seven weeks, they are still a rookie band and their recognition still needs to be improved. Today, Glory to Death discussed the latest hot topic on the radio: Does the band really not attend the Grammy Awards? No doubt, more listeners have truly realized this band.

Glory to death, because their music broke the shackles of rock and roll, and they have been criticized because of the commercial and civilianization of their music. Maybe they are not like other rock bands to scorn and talk about business and Grammys. Maybe They don’t express themselves with shocking dress like other rock bands. Maybe they are not as cynical and fierce as other rock bands, but in fact, the rock spirit in the glorious bones has never been corrupted. They are definitely an authentic. Rock band.

After the radio show ended, the recognition of Glory to Death once again climbed to a whole new level, especially in the recent wave of "against Grammys", Glory to Death once again became the top of the limelight. This is undoubtedly a very important work for the promotion of singles and albums, and even a small part of the media believes that the band is maliciously hyping speculation, but these speculations are also harmless and still cannot stop the single "Li" The momentum of rapid rise on the billboard singles chart.

On the second day of the broadcast of the radio program, the single-day sales of "Lithium" reached 15,000 copies, which also created the highest sales after the release of a single, and finally achieved 90,000 sales within a week. The tone climbed to the fifth place on the billboard singles chart this week, and the performance made everyone shine.

In the third week of January, there was fierce competition on the Billboard singles chart. Blyth Adams, Sting, and Stewart joined forces for the movie "The Three Musketeers". The created episode "All Love (all... won the championship for three consecutive weeks at the beginning of its release in November 1993. After nearly two months of precipitation, it regained its head this week and counterattacked the championship. .

Mariah Carey’s classic song "Hero( slipped to the runner-up after winning the championship for four consecutive weeks. This single is also known as the most memorable single in Maria's music career and has achieved unimaginable achievements.

The latest single "breathe." by Donny Breston, a strong alternate for the newcomer of the year, performed very well, staying in the third place for many weeks. The single "Again( released by Janet Jackson at the end of last year still maintained its No. 1 spot.

The glorious "Li" lags behind these four singles and occupies the fifth place this week. The performance can be described as very eye-catching. From this we can see the importance of radio program publicity.

In the following week, the sales of "Lithium" climbed again, and achieved 120,000 sales in a single week, and further came to the fourth place on the bulletin board rankings, only one step away from the top three. After staying in the fourth place for two weeks, "Lithium" made a major breakthrough, rising to the third place with 140,000 sales in a single week, which further expanded its popularity in the United States.

During this period, the competition for the Billboard singles charts has been relatively weak. After "Only Love" completed three consecutive championships; Celine Dion (.) sang the l984 classic song "The Power of Love (the Power of Love) .. Of.)” pushed this song to a whole new level, won the championship for four consecutive weeks, and sang this song around the world.

Subsequently, the electronic dance single "tag (the. from Sweden's national treasure-level pop group Aisi base (.of.base) and the rhythm and blues king r from Chicago. Kelly (r. kelly)'s single "bump & a3p; friction (bump. n,. took turns to complete the dominance. After "labeling" four consecutive championships, "bumping & friction" four consecutive championships, and then "labeling" reversed With two consecutive championships, the championship battle between the two continued until late May.

Among them, the performance of "Lithium" has been very stable. The weekly sales of this single have been stable at around 100,000, and it has been in the last three weeks of February and the first two weeks of March for five consecutive weeks. They all aspired to the third place, but unfortunately they lacked some explosive power, and this was not able to go further~www.readwn.com~ But even so, they won the third place for five consecutive weeks, which is also for the single "Li". The greatest affirmation.

After dropping from the third place, the stamina of "Li" still hasn't been greatly weakened, especially after the Grammys ended, the absence of glory to death, the band Nirvana once again returned empty-handed, which also awakened people's attention to 1993 The year of the golden age of rock and roll was once again nostalgic and uneven, which is also worthy of "Lithium" single sales have been very stable, staying in the top five until the end of May.

Before the end of May, the cumulative sales of Lithium’s singles had already passed the one million threshold. In addition to obtaining platinum sales certification from the Recording Industry Association of America, it also increased its sales to 1.3 million. It is very likely to be able to occupy a position on the 1994 year-end singles sales charts.

The single "Li" still achieved such gratifying results in the absence of sufficient audience accumulation and publicity and dissemination, which can be called a rare victory; but what is even more rare is that the widespread dissemination of "Li" has driven The recognition of the album's "almost fame" has led to an impressive development curve for album sales after entering 1994.
