The glamour of Vanity Fair always makes people lose their way, which makes Hugo lose confidence for a while, not only because he has seen the process of other people losing themselves, but also because he himself has almost lost himself several times, but fortunately, there is always hope waiting around the corner of life, and the partners who are glorious to death have persevered with their own faith.

This is the real glory to the death Hugo, Neil, Forkin, Pedro, Alfonso, the five of them form a community, they are partners who fight side by side, the road to Vanity Fair is always full of countless bumps, and the road of dreams is full of thorns, so they must stand firmly by each other's side, so that they can gain the strength to continue walking.

Glory to death rejected the Grammys, not because other rock bands thought - the Grammys were too commercial, and Glory to Death did not reject commerce, on the contrary, Hugo knew very well that art without commercial support would soon die out, although the Grammys were commercial, but it was also thanks to its extensive influence that many unknown outstanding musicians came to the big stage, and at the same time, many ordinary people appreciated the charm of music. So, there is no need to condemn the business of the Grammys, even after the decline of the Grammys into the twenty-first century.

Glory to death rejected the Grammys only because they didn't get the respect they deserved, just as Nirvana's "Don't Mind" deserved the 34th Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album, which is the right sequence. Therefore, glory to death will not compromise, because this is an impermissible compromise, and such a compromise is tantamount to self-denial of glory to death, and it is tantamount to self-denial of one's own musical value.

Therefore, Glory to Death made a choice, just like the choice of the band's rock spirit, either glory or death, and this time, they chose to give up the glory of the Grammys and insist on the glory that belongs to the band.

Perhaps, glory to death will pay a terrible price for this, it may be to miss the Grammy Award for Best Newcomer of the Year forever, it may be like Nirvana and Pearl Sauce will never get the Grammys in the eyes, or even the band will disappear into the music industry 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 sticking to yourself, you will not lose yourself.

Nathan just looked at the five members of Glory to Death who suddenly began to frolic, and even Fujin, who had a stern expression, smiled, and he suddenly felt that this scene looked really warm and harmonious. It's been more than half a year since Glory to Death appeared in front of you - since July, but it may not be until now that everyone really begins to understand the charm of this band.

Nathan laughed like that, and he felt that it didn't seem like a big deal not to be present at the Grammys. In fact, there are countless big names in history who are reluctant to attend the Grammys, and even the Oscars have many people who refuse to attend, Woody Allen and Marlon Brando have never attended to receive awards.

"I guess I know why Neil is the captain." Nathan broke everyone's joy with a smile, causing all five of them to look at him, "Because he's the only one who is willing to take care of trivial matters." ”

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

"Although it is said that at this time it is played 'Don't be upset about the past) (don, t. look。 ba。 Anger), as the lyrics say, 'Please don't waste your youth in a rock band they will only sink you day by day...... This is the greatest charm of the band of glory to death; However, I'm going to play another song from Glory to Death right now, 'Lithium' not because it's the third track on this week's on-demand chart, but because this song clearly shows the stubbornness and wanton nature of the Glory to Death band, so let's enjoy this song together, brought by Glory to Death, 'Lithium'. ”

Nathan expertly spoke, and the song "Lithium" began to ring in front of everyone listening to Kiis radio. "I'm so happy, because today I've found my friends, and they're in my head......" Hugo's textured voice flowed like mercury in front of countless radios.

Although the album "Almost Famous" has been released for nearly seven weeks, they are still a newcomer band, and their recognition still needs to be improved. And today, Glory to Death discussed the recent hot topic on Kiis radio: Is the band really not attending the Grammys? Undoubtedly, more listeners really recognized this band.

Glory to death is controversial because their music breaks the shackles of rock and roll, and they are also blamed for the commerciality and popularization of their music, maybe they are not like other rock bands to business, sneer at the Grammys, and use foul language, maybe they don't express themselves in shocking clothes like other rock bands, maybe they are not as cynical and fierce as other rock bands, but in fact, the rock spirit in the bones of Glory to Death has never been corrupted, They are definitely an authentic rock band.

When the KIIS radio program ended, the recognition of Glory to Death once again climbed to a new height, especially in the recent wave of "against the Grammys", Glory to Death has once again become a topic of people on the cusp, which is undoubtedly a very important work for the promotion of singles and albums, and even triggered speculation that a small part of the media believes that the band is maliciously hype, but these speculations are harmless, and still can't stop the rapid rise of the single "Lithium" on the Billboard singles chart.

On the second day of the broadcast of the Kiis radio program, the sales of "Lithium" reached 15,000 copies in a single day, which was also the highest sales after the release of the single, and finally achieved 90,000 sales in a week, climbing to the fifth position on the Billboard singles chart this week.

The Billboard singles chart in the third week of January was very competitive, with Bryce Adams, Sting, Lo and Stewart. Stewart) teamed up for the film "The Three Musketeers." three。 Muketeers) "created an interlude" only love (all. for。 "love)" was the champion for three consecutive weeks at the beginning of its release in November 1993, and after nearly two months of precipitation, it regained its head this week and counterattacked the championship.

Mariah Kelly's classic track "Hero" slipped to second place after four consecutive weeks of winning the race, and this single has also been called the most monumental single of Maria's musical career, achieving unimaginable results.

Donnie Blesson is the latest single for the best newcomer of the year, Breathe Again. Again)" is still very good, staying in the third place position for many weeks. Jenny Jackson's single "Again", released late last year, still maintained its top spot.

The glorious "Lithium" lagged behind these four singles and occupied the fifth place this week, which can be described as very eye-catching, and the importance of radio program promotion can be seen from here.

In the following week, the sales of "lithium" climbed up again, achieving 120,000 sales in a single week, and further to the fourth position on the Billboard list, just one step away from the top three. After staying in the fourth place for two weeks, "Lithium" made a heavy breakthrough and rose to the third place with sales of 140,000 in a single week, which also further spread the popularity of Glory to Death in the United States.

During this period, competition on the Billboard singles chart has been relatively weak, and "Only Love" has completed three consecutive crowns; Celine Idion (e. dion) covers the classic track "The Power of Love (the) from l984. power。 of。 love)" took the song to a whole new level, winning four consecutive weeks and singing the song all over the world.

Subsequently, the national treasure pop group ace from Sweden. of。 base) (the. sign)" and the Rhythm & Blues King from Chicago. Kelly (R. kelly) for the single "Crash &a3p; Friction (bump. n，。 grind)" took turns to complete the dominance, "tag" after four consecutive championships, "impact & Rubbing "four consecutive championships, and then "Label" counterattacked two consecutive championships, and the championship battle between the two continued until late May.

Among them, the table of "Lithium" has been very stable, the weekly sales of this single have been stable at about 100,000, and in the last three weeks of February and the first two weeks of March, it has been in the third place for five consecutive weeks, but unfortunately it lacks some explosive power, which has not been able to go further. But even so, the third place for five consecutive weeks is the biggest affirmation of the single "Lithium".

After sliding from the third place, the stamina of "Lithium" is still not much weakened, especially after the end of the Grammys, the absence of glory to death, and the return of Nirvana Band empty-handed, which also awakens people's nostalgia and injustice for the golden age of rock in 1993, which is also worthy of "Lithium" The single sales have been very stable, staying in the top five until late May.

By the end of May, "Lithium" had already crossed the 1 million threshold in cumulative sales of singles, received platinum sales certification from the Recording Industry Association of America, and increased its sales to 1.3 million positions, and was likely to occupy a spot on the 1994 year-end singles sales chart.

The single "Lithium" 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 wide spread of "lithium" has driven the recognition of the album as "almost famous", which has triggered an amazing development curve for album sales after entering l994.
