Climb to the peak of 955 Mars Earth
Who can prevent glory unto death? This is perhaps the biggest question in the music market as a whole, and although people have seen this situation from the rapid momentum after "" entering 1994 and the super popularity of "" tours, the 12 consecutive championships after the release of "Bathing in the Morning Light" still amazed all music critics.
In the history of Billboard, the most weeks are "(west. side。 story)", this album stayed on the championship for 54 weeks, that is, a year, which is a achievement that can never be broken, especially after entering the competition becomes more and more fierce, it is even more impossible to surpass.
Michael Jackson's all-time album "Thriller" won the title for 37 weeks, ranking second all-time, which is almost impossible to surpass.
After entering the 90s, the record market was full of flowers, and the difficulty of winning consecutive titles gradually increased, and the best result was the soundtrack sung by Whitney and Houston for the movie "Bodyguard", which won the championship for 20 consecutive weeks from 1992 to l993, which can be ranked ninth on the all-time list.
It can be seen that the difficulty of winning the Billboard album chart in a row is enough to sustain the number of weeks of the champion in double digits, in fact, after entering the 90s, there were only three albums that won the Billboard album chart in more than double digits.
In addition to Whitney to Houston, there is also Gass One's "Pipe Duty" (Ropin. the。 Wind) won the championship for 10 weeks, and Billy won a thunder and a Cyrus (Bifly. ray。 Cyrus) -- his daughter Miley Cyrus (Miley. Cyrus) later followed in his father's footsteps and broke through in the record industry with the album "Give to All." gave。 all)" won the championship for 17 consecutive weeks!
It is worth mentioning that Whitney and Houston represent and popular, while Gas, Billy, Ray and Sellers represent the countryside, which shows that in the United States, the countryside is the eternal hegemon.
In terms of rock, whether it's Nirvana or Pearl Sauce, even in their prime, their Billboard titles are in the single digits, and the countless brilliant "Don't Mind" has only won the championship for two weeks, and the "Showdown" that won the year-end championship last year has only won the championship for five consecutive weeks.
Rock has always sold long-term, not explosive power.
After the Glory to Death was born, people expected that "bathing in the morning light" would inevitably set off a storm, and the madness of the first week, although beyond expectations, was also within the expected range; The next week's high-profile notes have gradually begun to drift off track. Then, "Bathing in the Morning Light" overcame all the obstacles and actually exceeded double digits for the number of weeks of winning the championship, which also marked the album becoming the fourth classic since the 90s to win the championship for more than 10 weeks.
This achievement of the Sword of Glory to Death not only set off a rock storm like Nirvana, but also did what it could not, breaking the blockade of country and American music, and becoming an extremely important album in the history of rock music: they proved that rock can recreate the glory of the 70s, and rock can be as widely loved as the country!
As countless critics have said about the most controversial focus of neo-metal rock: it is a more approachable and closer to the listener, and the new metal rock has set off an infinite wave of wind that traditional rock can't drive, and people are suddenly back to the golden age of the Beatles, Elvis and Pressley.
There is no doubt that the feat of "bathing in the morning light" is deeply historic, and the album has taken rock and roll to a whole new level, transcending the popularity of rock and roll, and making countless listeners re-examine rock and roll. It is conceivable that in the future, not only new metal rock, but also other rock genres.
It can be said that the success of "bathing in the morning light" has driven the development prospects of the entire rock music genre in the market. From this point of view, "bathing in the morning light" is enough to go down in history, and glory to death has done what the Nirvana band cannot.
After winning 12 consecutive weeks, "Morning Light" has become the third-most won title in the 90s, and it should be noted that "Bodyguard" did not win 20 weeks in a row, its longest winning streak was 13 weeks, while "Give It All" won 17 weeks in a row.
In other words, the consecutive weeks of winning the championship of "Bathing in the Morning Light" are already approaching the "bodyguard", and it is only one step away.
At this moment, who can pull "Bathing in the Morning Light" off the championship throne? People have the answer, maybe it's the Nirvana band.
In the third week of November, "Bathing in the Morning Light" faced an unprecedented and severe challenge.
Nirvana Band.
Nirvana has all but disappeared from view since the death of Kurt Cobain, and this time they released "MTV New York Unplugged" (MTV. unplugged。 in。 new。 This album also ended Nirvana's glorious three-year period, after which Nirvana officially broke up, and Dave Groll formed the Spitfire Band and started another journey.
It can be said that "MTV New York Unplugged" is the last glory of Nirvana.
Although people have always compared Glory to Death with Nirvana, not because the two bands have similar styles, but because both bands have the courage to break the status quo, boldly adhere to their rock spirit, and sing the voice of their own soul; But in fact, the Glory to Death and Nirvana Band are not enemies at all, they even crossed paths only once.
However, this time the unexpected encounter between the two albums "Bathing in the Morning Light" and "MTV New York Unplugged" has become the focus of media attention, and countless people are hyping the news of the "succession" of the Nirvana band from glory to death. Although this is ridiculous in the eyes of industry professionals, not to mention that the style of glory to death is not a continuation of Nirvana at all, even if "Bathing in the Morning Light" defeats "MTV New York Unplugged", it does not mean that this is a "succession" to complete the handover.
But the media doesn't care about this, what they need is a flashpoint. In fact, the tipping point was not long in coming.
The important moment when "Bathing in the Morning Light" hit the record of the "Bodyguard" for consecutive championships, but the album of the Nirvana Band was released, is there a more exciting topic than this?
Although the entire glory period of Nirvana from "Don't Mind" in 1991 to the death of Kurt Cobain in l994 was less than three years, Nirvana has a subversive and transformative effect on the development of the entire rock history, so even twenty years later, when people choose the top ten rock bands, Nirvana has repeatedly been shortlisted.
When Glory to Death came out at the end of 1993, it was also compared to Nirvana because of its powerful subversion of the entire rock status quo. Maybe it was just a hype topic at first, but as time progressed, Glory to Death is also proving this speculation with practical actions: now, the new metal rock has begun to subvert the rock world!
Therefore, Nirvana Band and Glory to Death, two rivals who have never hated each other, have become destined opponents in the time and space of historical dislocation.
What's even more interesting is that "Bathing in the Morning Light" witnessed the rise of glory to death, and "MTV New York Unplugged" witnessed the decline of Nirvana, and the two albums met again at this fateful moment, which also added to this sense of historical mission. The moment of the collision between Mars and the Earth is coming!
As soon as "MTV New York Unplugged" was released, Nirvana fans fell into a frenzy, this was their last revelry, and it was also their last chance to express their dissatisfaction and anger at Glory to Death, and many crazy fans of Nirvana blamed the death of Kurt Cobain on the rise of Glory to Death, and they believed that it was because of the strong rise of Nirvana that dealt a fatal blow to Kurt.
In fact, real fans will not believe this statement, because they know that Kurt is so proud and confident, and he will not be hit, no matter how strong the opponent is.
But the fans who are immersed in grief don't care, they need a person to blame, they can't blame Kurt who ended their life, so they can only vent their anger on Glory to Death, even if they know that Glory to Death is just a topic and a scapegoat launched by the media, they don't hesitate to do it.
As a result, the sales of "MTV New York Unplugged" ushered in an explosion after its release, with 570,000 sales! It's just a live concert recording, not a brand new album, and it's almost an incredible amount of sales to achieve such sales. But the truth is, this qiē happened, and the crazy fans piled up a crazy number of jù, and they wanted to use the last glory of Nirvana to snuff out the momentum of glory to death and continue to rise!
In the face of the unreasonable accusations of the crazy fans of Nirvana, the fans of the young volcano one by one were united under the instigation of the media, and this was the first time they were truly united for glory to death, and they also exploded with unprecedented energy, which made the North American music market usher in the most lively week of l994.
"Bathing in the Morning Light" exploded with 600,000 sales this week, almost the same as the album's second week of release, and at this time it was already the thirteenth week of the album's release, which was so incredible that all the media applauded.
The powerful energy of the young volcano not only allowed "Bathing in the Morning Light" to defeat the powerful band Nirvana and once again topped the Billboard album chart; Moreover, the number of winning weeks of "Bathing in the Morning Light" came to thirteen weeks in one fell swoop, tying the record of consecutive weeks of winning the championship of "Bodyguard", and tied for the second most albums in the 90s!
