If you want to find a suitable adjective to sum up the table of Glory to Death in 1994, then "total domination" would be the best answer, from January to December, from albums to singles, from popularity to word-of-mouth, Glory to Death in 1994 in full explosion, reaching an insurmountable peak.

On the year-end album sales chart in 1994, there were five albums that received five platinum certifications, namely the "Lion King" movie soundtrack, the boy-boy group "Two Boys, Two Men", the Green Day Band's "Dregs", and the glory to death "Almost Famous" and "Bathing in the Morning Light".

In the end, the "Lion King" movie soundtrack won the year-end sales championship with 7.41 million sales, and with the film's success at the North American box office and the global box office, there is no doubt that the "Lion King" work was definitely in full bloom in 1994.

The second album "Bathing in the Morning Light", released in August, reached 7.26 million year-end sales, only behind the 150,000 copies of "The Lion King", and occupied the second place in the year-end sales chart.

It is worth noting that the "Lion King" movie soundtrack was released in June, two months earlier than "Bathing in the Morning Light", but the final gap was only 150,000, so the media generally believed that the biggest winner in l994 should be "Bathing in the Morning Light", this album was released only more than half a year after the debut of glory to death, but it contributed unparalleled super high quality, capturing the hearts of many ordinary listeners, which also became the biggest contributor to rock 'n' roll entering the mainstream in 1994.

The boys-boy group's album "Two Boys, Two Men," released in September, exploded with 6.3 million sales, ranking third on the year-end charts. The album's success is not only a snapshot of the strong momentum of the Rhythm and Blues in the '90s, but also the popularity of the boy boy group that is now comparable to that of the "national group".

Although the boy boy group was completely suppressed by glory to death from albums to singles, such a result is reflected in the runner-up and third place on the year-end album chart, which is also a matter of course; But it must be admitted that the boy boy group was able to survive in the face of such a powerful momentum of glory to death, and this is a very remarkable thing: not all the singers of all albums can deliver such a performance.

It was not the first official album of the 1994 Green Day Band that occupied the throne, but from the album "Almost Fame" released at the end of 1993, this glorious debut album gained huge popularity after its release in 1993, but the real explosion only officially began after January 1994, and as a result, "almost famous" won 5.33 million sales in 1994, bringing its cumulative total sales to more than six platinum. It also came to a high position of fourth place on this year's year-end list.

The last album to surpass five million sales was Green Day's "Dregs", a work with a strong punk revival that hit the ground running—and after the 1993 rock 'n' roll resurgence, it's no surprise that Green Day was on the rise.

After the release of the album "Dregs", which was widely regarded by professional music critics as another work that brought innovation and impact after "almost becoming famous", the Green Day Band resurrected the rapid and concise, three-chord punk pop songs, although their music was not as new as the glory to death, but the album "Dregs" brought the punk of the late seventies back to the new young generation, this album created a strong influence in 1994, opening the American new punk, Punk metal and the door to the third wave of rock music.

Glory to Death brought about the new metal rock, and Green Sun resurrected punk, and the two bands had an unpredictable influence in the rock renaissance, so much so that their mark could be felt everywhere for the next two decades.

At this moment, the professional music media have to admit that the Glory to Death and Green Day bands are the most influential bands in the United States after Nirvana and Pearl Sauce.

In the midst of this storm, "Scum" finally won the sales of 5.07 million and obtained the five platinum certification. Of course, the strong influence of this album continues, and sales are bound to continue to climb, and the end is definitely not here.

In 1994, there were three rock albums in the top five of the year-end sales charts, and the other two albums were movie soundtracks and rhythm and blues, which once again confirmed the fact that rock also has a strong appeal and listener support in the mainstream music market.

This made l994 an important watershed moment, after which rock 'n' roll became a real part of the mainstream market that could not be ignored - this is the core value of recreating the golden age of rock and roll. From Nirvana, Pearl Sauce to Glory to Death, Green Sun, plus a large number of old rock bands such as Guns N' Roses and Aerosmith, rock and roll has finally regained its glory in the 60s and 70s after more than a decade of downturn.

The Eagles' "The Frozen Hell," Nirvana's "MTV New York Unplugged," and John Michael Montgomery's "Kick Up,. it。 up)", "Purple" and "Forrest Gump" movie soundtracks by Stone Temple Guides, these five albums occupy the remaining five spots in the top 10 of the year-end sales.

Among them, the rock genre includes six positions, and the rock 'n' roll of l993 continues to spread strongly. Among them, the Nirvana band continued their strong appeal after the death of Kurt Cobain, and "MTV New York Unplugged" also became the last witness of this endless feast.

Among the top 10 year-end sales, Glory to Death occupies two seats, which is also a rare sight, especially when the release interval between "almost famous" and "bathed in the morning light" is not too long, which makes people clearly feel the strong rise of this rock band.

Glory to Death In just one year after its debut, the two albums have successively sold six million and seven million levels, and at this moment, those debates about whether Glory to Death can be compared to the 1991 Nirvana Band have also come to a conclusion, maybe the dispute between Glory to Death and Nirvana Band who is better will never have a result, but everyone must admit that Nirvana has made rock and roll take the attention of the mainstream, and Glory to Death has made rock occupy a place in the mainstream. This is the trajectory of history. On the album's year-end sales charts, Glory to Death relied on "Almost Famous" and "Bathing in the Morning Light" to get two positions, and both of them ranked among the top five; And on top of the year-end sales charts of singles, Glory to Death once again single-handedly broke the pattern of rhythm and blues, pop and country teaming up to dominate.

"Beautiful. "This absolute classic relied on the success of 14 consecutive titles, and won 2.66 million sales for the whole year, and in the era when digital music sources were not yet popular, the measure of single sales was not "three million" but "one million", because in the 90s, albums were the theme of people's consumption compared to singles. Therefore, the result of "Beautiful Day" easily won the championship of l994 year-end single sales!

The single "Beautiful Day" is not only a bad word-of-mouth, but also shows a devastating momentum in terms of sales, and is widely regarded as a single that has the potential to hit the incredible sales threshold of 4 million.

In second place was the hip-hop group 6 from Miami. 9 boys (6. 9。 Boyz) singles "Tootsee. roll", this single exceeded everyone's expectations and won 2.33 million sales, defeated countless strong singles on the year-end charts, and occupied the second place.

The reason why it is unexpected is that this single has only reached No. 8 on the Billboard singles chart, and has never been in the top five, but this song has become the biggest hit single at many public gatherings, festivals, and sports competitions.

These were the only two singles in 1994 to sell more than two million.

In third place is the girl duo Thousand Faces (GIN9. face) ** (stroke. you。 up)", the best result of this single after its release in June was No. 3, but the cumulative sales reached a staggering 1.97 million, which is a remarkable achievement.

It is not surprising that the runner-up and runner-up have unfamiliar faces one after another, on the one hand, because the Billboard list radio on demand occupies an important factor, and high sales do not necessarily lead to the championship; On the other hand, it is also because this year's Glory to Death, Foursome, Boy and Man Groups, etc. are too strong, and when the opponent breaks out with super high sales, the single results of these singers are often more explosive, so those singles that did not win the championship instead relied on staying power and occupied an advantage on the year-end list.

Another single from Glory to Death "Don't be upset about the past" (don, t. look。 ba。 Anger) "Although the sales volume has reached 1.6 million in August, it still did not cross the 2 million threshold as people expected, and finally accumulated sales of 1.95 million, only lagging behind the sales of less than 20,000 sales of "**", and ranked in the palace.

After that, the boy-boy group's "I'll Warm Up with You" occupied the fifth place with 1.8 million sales.

The top five of the year-end singles sales chart was obviously unexpected by many people, but the strength of "Good Day" and the excellence of "Don't be upset about the past" were still expected, and in addition to the high position of "I will be warm with you" is also the answer that has been guessed for a long time.

From the movie box office charts to the album sales charts, to the singles sales charts, Hugo's name is among the top five, there is no doubt that "Hugo Lancaster" is the most shining name in 1994, even if this is a classic year, even if this is a year of a hundred flowers and a hundred schools of thought, Hugo's momentum can also be regarded as a standout, and has completed an all-round domination in all aspects.

But obviously, there are still many familiar faces in the year-end sales chart of singles, and Glory to Death has occupied the third place in the top 10, once again creating a new history with a terrifying attitude!
