In the third week of December, the album "Almost Famous" of Glory to Death rode the wind and broke the "waves" to achieve 230,000 sales, although the increase seems to be lower than expected, but as a band that has just debuted, Glory to Death's first album has maintained a trend of rising sales every week for three weeks after its release, which is a huge breakthrough.

In the global music market, album sales have their own characteristics, for example, the Asian market is a short-term explosive type, the Japanese market in the first month of release of new albums can often burst out of two million, three million shocking sales, but then there will be a huge gap in sales, and then with a slow momentum of long-term sales, the Korean market is even more obvious, almost all album sales are concentrated in the first and second weeks after the release, and it is very difficult to sell albums for a long time after that.

But in the U.S. market, album sales have always been characterized by long-term bestsellers, and one of the greatest bands in music history, Pink Floyd, released his 1973 album "Dark. side。 of。 the。 Moon)" stayed on the Billboard album chart for a total of 741 years, from May l973 to July l988, a record that no one could break until the distant future of the 21st century, 15 million copies sold in North America in vinyl format, and is still one of the 25 best-selling albums in the United States.

In addition to "The Dark Side of the Moon", there are five albums that have stayed on the Billboard album chart for more than 300 weeks, which shows that the American music market is dominated by long-term grosses.

Generally speaking, album sales in the first month are bound to be relatively strong, but it is rare to break out like the Japanese market with three million sales in the first month, more often, the album will have a small explosion in the first month of the American market, and then spread it over to every subsequent week, and some albums can even rank in the top 20 in the year-end sales chart for several consecutive years, and the long-term sales ability is very terrifying

Therefore, after the release of "almost famous", there are not so many albums that maintain an upward trend every week, which is the sales curve of a typical new singer after his debut, because this means that the singer or the album is constantly attracting more listeners by relying on the accumulation of word-of-mouth with the development of publicity.

Especially compared with the more than 50% drop of more than 50% in the "Thin Noodles Incident" of Guns and Roses this week, and only got 190,000 sales, "almost famous" In the case of such a 'fierce' competition for rock albums, the glory of the unique style and incompatibility with the market still fights a bloody road to death, which is even more commendable.

Relying on the accumulation of 230,000 sales in the third week, the sales of "Almost Famous" easily exceeded 500,000 within three weeks of its release, and Shun Lì reached the Golden Record certification standard, regardless of the future sales trend of this album, they have successfully broken through from the underground rock circle and found a place in the music market, which also completed the lowest positioning of EMI Records for the glory to death debut album.

Snoop Dogg's album "Dog Style" regained the top spot last week and finished at the top of the Billboard album chart this week. Mariah Carey's new album, released in September, continued its upward trajectory, surpassing its rivals and ranking second this week. Although the sales of pearl sauce have declined, it still retains a strong position in the third place.

The top 10 of the Billboard charts has a new face in the third week of December, and the glorious "almost famous" has taken a step further this week after breaking into the top 20 last week, relying on the rapid surge in on-demand rates to rise eight places from last week's seventeen to ninth on this week's list! Guns N' N' N' Rose, which hung at the bottom of the top 10, became one of the four rock albums in the top 10

In the three weeks since its release, "Near Fame" has almost completed the triple jump and directly broke into the top 10 of the Billboard album chart this week, which is undoubtedly a huge breakthrough, which also makes Glory to Death the brightest new star in the last month of the year.

With the rise of glory to death, relatively speaking, it is the decline of guns and roses, as well as the 'chaos' and 'chaos' within the Nirvana band.

In the rock category list, Pearl Sauce still holds the championship position, and the runner-up position still belongs to Mittlaufer, "Hellbat 2 Back to Hell ......" sales have rebounded slightly this week, coupled with the excellent table of on-demand rate, which makes this album firmly hold the position on the category list, and it also rose to fifth place on the Billboard album chart, and the table is amazingly 'beautiful';

Guns N' Roses, Pumpkin Crush, and Nirvana ranked fourth through sixth in the rock category, respectively.

"Almost famous" has continued to improve its ranking even in the face of a number of strong competitors, and has achieved 530,000 sales in three weeks, which is even more eye-catching, and has undoubtedly joined the ranks of rock stars. And the next two weeks of this album made "almost famous" an indispensable part of the re-enactment of the golden age of rock in l993.

In the early 90s, the fourth week of December, the annual Christmas week, movies and album sales were always soaring due to the lack of internet, and movies and music were the most common means of entertainment in people's lives.

This week, Mariah Carey's new album "Music Box" returned to the top of the Billboard album chart after winning the first week of release, this album is undoubtedly Mariah's most successful album since her debut, and the huge sales success coupled with the "colorful" reputation of music critics also ushered in the heyday of Mariah's career.

At this moment, Maria and Whitney Houston are the two great divas of the American music scene, and the two of them are in the limelight far more than the male singers of the same period, and they also create the peak of high-pitched and technical singing.

The only thing that can be compared to Maria and Whitney is the rock band that has been fully revived in the past two years, as evidenced by the Christmas week's Billboard sales charts.

Snoop Dogg lost the championship and switched places with "Music Box" to become the runner-up this week; After that, the three albums of Pearl Sauce, Mittlaufer and Glory to Death occupied the third, fourth and fifth spots of the week, respectively, and teamed up to push the rock 'tide' to the peak of the year-end period.

During Christmas week, the album of Guns N' and Roses fell sharply, falling directly to the fifteenth place on the list, showing its decline; Pumpkin Crush and Nirvana also dropped out of the top 20, and while the three albums still held on to the top six spots in the rock category, they were far behind the other three contenders.

Pearl Sauce is still steady, firmly holding the top spot in the rock category, and the third place on the Billboard album chart is unshakable; Mittlaufer's album has become more and more courageous, and he has continued to improve his sales and rankings since last week, and has performed the truth of what it means to sharpen a knife and not make a mistake for everyone, and the album "Hellbat 2 Back to Hell...... which took 16 years to build" won it. The monument and sales are in full bloom, which can be called a model for the new generation of rock bands.

Glory to death as a rookie band, but the table Xiàn is becoming more and more 'colorful', relying on its excellent strength and excellent album quality in the controversy 'wave' and 'tide' to win the love of a large number of neutral song 'fans' and the general public, the album's sales reached a new high in the fourth week of release, and continued to maintain its strong momentum with 260,000 sales.

The after-effects of the rock controversy "wave" and "tide" began to gradually exert its power in the Michael Jackson incident, and the glory to death appeared on the tour stage of the Junjie Music Festival, and to all loyal rock lovers showed their solid basic skills and excellent strength, in the rock world, live performance is always the best means to convince music fans, there is no doubt that in this regard, glory to death is never inferior to the confidence and heritage of any competitor

Under such circumstances, "Almost Famous" ushered in a sales frenzy in the last week of 1993, which also pushed the glory to death to the first milestone since its debut.

"Almost famous" ushered in a buying frenzy in the last week of the year, obviously the public opinion storm at the end of November and early December after the precipitation and accumulation of time, finally burst out of real energy, which made "almost famous" in a week to win 430,000 sales, which is not only the highest weekly sales since the release of the album, but also let the cumulative sales of the album in four weeks directly break through the million mark, with 1.22 million sales ended their 1993 music market journey.

This is obviously something that Glory to Death did not expect before the album was released, and it is also the best situation that EMI Records can imagine: an underground rock band, and a rock band that broke the grunge rock scene, made a shocking debut album on the music market, achieving a million sales from the gold record, which is nothing short of a dream victory.

And now, it took only five weeks for Glory to Die to accomplish this feat, and the album was released for five weeks, with sales getting higher and better week by week, and the results getting better and better week by week, which is exactly the best scenario of dreams.
