In "I swear" and "Don't be upset about the past" (don, t. look。 ba。 Anger)" before the entanglement, in fact, the "label" and r of the Aisi base. Kelly's "Crash & "Friction" shows such fierce competition for people, "label" first won four consecutive championships, and then "impact & Friction" two consecutive championships, and then "label" four consecutive championships, before and after a total of ten weeks of competition

Now it seems that the situation is repeating itself, with "I swear" winning four consecutive titles, followed by "Don't be upset about the past......" two consecutive titles. Then, if you follow the previous script, the next step is to "I swear" to complete the counterattack and win the four consecutive championships again, "don't be annoyed by the past......" can only be a regretful defeat.

This is also the reason why Atlantic Records maintains confidence, on the one hand, the four-in-one propaganda offensive is very fierce, and on the other hand, the song "I Swear" is indeed very suitable for the public taste, and has an inherent advantage in popularity. Therefore, the four-in-one propaganda has not been weakened by the strength of "don't be upset by the past...... on the contrary, on the contrary, it has been invested in more enthusiastic publicity, which shows that Atlantic Records is determined to win.

The first week of July has become a battleground for soldiers.

Over there, Glory to Death launched its first formal tour in the United States, with great momentum; Here, the four-in-one is also intensively promoted on the North American continent. Over there, the glory to death is an alternative rock style; Here, the four-in-one walks the route of a beautiful chorus of rhythm and blues.

"Don't be upset about the past...... over there" awakens people's inner memories and has become the most deeply rooted song in the hearts of the people at present; Here, "I Swear" interprets the most romantic tenderness of love, surpassing the original version to become the most popular version at present.

The industry's absolute authority "Rolling Stones" also joined the hot competition, and they chose to support "I swear", which is expected. Since the beginning of the road tour of Glory to Death, they have never been in the sights of "Rolling Stone", and so far, "Rolling Stone" has not conducted a formal interview with "Glory to Death", nor has they written a serious music review, and even when "Near Famous" was released, they did not react much. Such treatment could not be more stark: alternative rock, which is excluded and discriminated against by the market, "Rolling Stones" does not take seriously.

In this music review, "Rolling Stone" believes that the four-in-one has created a new music mode, "stripping away high-tech sound synthesis and excluding post-dubbing, the four-in-one singing mode restores the most original taste of music, and also brings the most shocking audio-visual effects." In the increasingly complex music market, this is like a clear stream, allowing people to re-taste the weight of the soul of music. ”

"Rolling Stone" is full of praise for the foursome, and even thinks that their rendition of the song "I Swear" surpasses the original singer, giving the song a new lease of life. At the same time, the feedback given by the market is the best appreciation for the four-in-one, and the strong on-demand rate of the radio station also proves this, "Rolling Stone" believes that the music market needs to give more support to such music, which is the right way for music to return

Although "Rolling Stone" does not explicitly say it, it is actually crowding out Glory to Death or, more accurately, "noisy" rock like Glory to Death, emphasizing the soul and essence of music, believing that Glory to Death is just a trick and not worth mentioning at all.

As the most authoritative and popular magazine in the field of music professionalism, the view of "Rolling Stone" actually represents the view of the mainstream music market, and it can be seen from here that the current position of glory to death: although more and more listeners like them, and more and more professional fans recognize them, but the excellent performance of the market does not mean a qiē, they have only taken the first step on the road of rock and roll change, and sales and billboard champions are only the first recognition, In the future, they will need to face more criticism and criticism.

The-for-tat opposite of "Rolling Stone" is the "alternative choice" that has been picking and choosing about glory to death and speaking ill of each other.

Although "Alternative Choice" has always been ruthlessly criticizing Glory to Death, since the "42 Stage", they have been impressed by Glory to Death. At the beginning, after watching the "42 Stage", the editor-in-chief of "Alternative Choice" said: Their bodies shine with the soul of rock and roll.

The competition between Glory to Death and Nirvana is not only wonderful, but also the song "Don't be upset about the past......" makes people see the shining point of the band Glory to Death, just like Kurt became interested in Hugo, "Alternative Choice" also has a new perspective on Glory to Death.

This is the spirit of rock and roll, there are no absolutes, if possible, they will even deny themselves, and the unruliness and debauchery in their bones are not only aimed at other people, but also against themselves, but also against rock and roll itself.

After seeing the competition between "I swear" and "don't be upset about the past...... "Alternative Choice" scoffed, "Pursuing a piece of music on the level of saliva song as a classic is the sadness of the mainstream music market." Songs like 'I Swear' can't compare to Esko's 'label' in terms of pop, 'I can't compare to Whitney-Houston's 'I'll Love You Forever', 'Personality can't compare to Nirvana's 'youthful spirit', 'Don't be ......upset about the past' in terms of spirit, and 'Don't be upset about the past' is the biggest ridiculous thing in terms of popularity, "'I swear' is the biggest ridiculous thing in terms of popularity."

As always, the comments of "Alternative Choice" are sharp and sharp, even a little unreasonable, but they also express their recognition of Glory to Death, "In the song 'Don't Be Frustrated by the Past', you can get a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg of the musical concept of Glory to Death, and perhaps the spirit of rock and roll also flows in their bones, which is amazing." Of course, the right way to enjoy this song is not a disc or a cassette, but a live, and only by standing at the scene of the glorious to death performance, closing your eyes, and listening to the cry of the lead singer Hugo Lancaster from the depths of his soul, can he understand the essence of this song. ”

The involvement of the "Rolling Stones" on the commercial side and the emergence of "alternative options" on the independent side show how much attention has been paid to this showdown between the Four and the Glory to the Death, not to mention the fact that hundreds of radio programs have repeatedly mentioned it in the past week, and it has pushed the duel to a whole new level.

After six weeks in the making, the competition reached its peak in the first week of July.

"I Swear" counterattacked 180,000 sales this week, which is the highest single-week sales since the release of the single, and regained the championship in radio on-demand ratings, which is menacing; And "Don't be upset about the past......" set a sales volume of 200,000 copies in a single week for the first time since l994 this week, winning 206,000 copies, although it slipped to second place in the radio on-demand rate, but the gap was very weak.

It is worth mentioning that the combined radio on-demand rate of the two singles "I Swear" and "Don't Be Upset by the Past...... accounted for 10 percent of the past week, which is a very amazing table, that is, one out of every 10 million radio listeners in the United States will order one of these two singles, which is tens of millions of plays, which is very appalling.

From this detail, it can be seen that the frenzy of the two singles that have now set off in the United States can be called overwhelming, and the recognition and listening rate of the two singles have also reached a new height, and the foursome and glory to death have also become the most mentioned singers since May and June.

In the midst of this fierce competition, in the end, "Don't be upset about the past......" relied on its absolute advantage in sales to win the top spot on the Billboard singles chart!

In the first week of July, the winner was "Don't be upset about the past......"!

This is not just a triple crown, not only the best single weekly sales since l994, but also a victory in a bloody battle between glory to death and a four-person head-to-head confrontation, with which all wins and losses immediately become distinct and simple.

The more fierce the duel, the stronger the impact after the result, and the winning "don't be upset about the past......" The momentum becomes stronger; The defeated "I Swear" still held the runner-up position, but it gave people the illusion that they disappeared from the public eye overnight.

This huge duel ended with a tragic and powerful victory of "Don't be upset about the past...... after that, "I swear" seemed to be drained of energy, and was no longer able to launch an effective and direct attack, while "Don't be upset about the past......" took advantage of the victory to pursue, the more brave the more they fought, the more they rode the dust, with the supreme glory to achieve the first masterpiece of glory to death!

"Don't be upset about the past......" continued to hit the charts, topping the Billboard Singles Chart from three in a row to four in a row, from five in a row to six in a row, and finally extending its streak to seven weeks, before slipping to the runner-up spot in the first week of August.

Sadly, the number of runner-up weeks of "I swear" has also increased from two weeks to seven weeks, and for seven consecutive weeks, I have been pressed by "Don't be annoyed by the past...... and can only sit in the runner-up position. If you say that the runner-up for seven consecutive weeks, plus the previous four consecutive championships, this result is incredible, but "I swear" is faced with "don't be upset about the past......" can only be said to be unlucky

On the contrary, "Don't be upset about the past...... relying on four consecutive weeks of runner-up and seven consecutive weeks of championship, especially the number of sales in the later period, the cumulative sales have reached 1.63 million before the arrival of August, and more than 2 million sales seem to be not far away, and people are more curious: what will be the final sales of this single?

There is no doubt that "Don't be upset about the past......" has become the first masterpiece known to the world for Glory to Death, just as "Youthful Heart" is to Nirvana, Glory to Death is also accompanied by the strong popularity of this song, as an alternative rock band, into the mainstream music market!
