If someone were to say that they were to die of glory, the song "Wonderwall" would be one of their most well-known singles, and they would probably be stunned, and Hugo would laugh even more, because when he wrote the song, he was actually not very satisfied, because the lyrics were too weak and the melody was not very complete.

Similarly, countless professionals scoff at it, because from any point of view, "beautiful. day)" is the most perfect song of Glory to Death right now, and this song is definitely enough to be among the top ten songs of the 90s.

But history is so interesting that it gives a very different answer.

Twenty years later, among countless statistics, professionals and professional magazines are more fond of the song "A Beautiful Day", they believe that this song is the pinnacle of the early years of Glory to Death, from the melody to the lyrics, from the momentum to the emotion, the whole degree of completion is very full, this song is also one of the indispensable masterpieces in the long music career of Glory to Death.

However, in the vote statistics of the audience, "Good Day" not only defeated "Lost Wall", but also "Don't be upset about the past" (don't. look。 ba。 Anger)" and "Lithium" are indiscriminate. The reason for this is that the audience does not consider the technical level and the creative level, but their own emotional factors.

In 1996, a total of 170,000 viewers voted for the most popular song in "Rolling Stone", and "Lost Wall" won the first place; In 1997, among the most popular songs in Germany, Australia, the United Kingdom and other seven countries, "Lost Wall" won the love of countless listeners and easily won the title; In 2000, "Q Magazine" conducted a poll of 37,000 viewers for the "most popular song of the past decade". In 2010, Kiis Music Radio in the United States held a poll in which more than 800,000 people voted for the 100 hottest songs, and "Lost Wall" unbelievably won the title.

This is a result that even Glory to Death himself did not expect.

Many people joked, "Don't be upset about the past" made the music world know the glory to death, "A good day" made the music world remember the glory to death, and "The Lost Wall" really achieved the glory to death. In this regard, Hugo can only joke, "Fortunately, these are three songs." In fact, it is just self-deprecation, Nirvana Band was only remembered for one "boyish heart" at the beginning, but in fact, there are countless excellent tracks on the album "Don't mind", at least "three songs" from glory to death.

In the first week of its release, "Maze Wall" directly exploded with 230,000 sales, and landed as the runner-up on the Billboard singles chart in the second week of March.

If Hugo had ever taken a closer look at the Billboard singles charts in the second quarter of 1995, he would have noticed an interesting phenomenon: these months have been exactly the pattern of you singing and me appearing.

First up is the diva Madonna's single "Take. a。 Bow) dominated the championship for seven weeks, followed by rhythm and blues stalwart Montel Jordan (Montell). Jordan (this. is。 how。 we。 do。 IT)" won the championship for seven consecutive weeks, and then there was rock king-level Brian Adams. Adams's classic song "Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman (Have. you。 ever。 really。 loved。 a。 Woman)" won the title for five consecutive weeks, and finally, the rising girl group TLC won the title for seven consecutive weeks with "Waterfalls".

It lasted from the last week of February to the third week of August, before it relapsed into a chaotic pattern.

It's an interesting situation, and it shows some hints at the 1995 singles charts: the lack of a hundred flowers, and the majority of the traditional big-name singers dominating the mainstream music market - and the genre is all traditional pop and rhythm and blues, and the only Brian Adams is a rock singer, but he is also a representative of traditional pop rock.

Of course, Hugo didn't know anything about this pattern in history, so he naturally couldn't feel the huge changes in the entire traditional music market after his little butterfly flapped its wings at the 37th Grammys.

In the first week of its release, "Lost Wall" soared to 200,000 sales, and the runner-up on the Billboard singles chart, only below Madonna, who completed three consecutive championships this week, so that everyone fell below the glasses.

Nearly eight months have passed since the release of "Bathing in the Morning Light", and even "Shape. of。 my。 It has been more than a month since the intensive charting time of heart)", and it has been six months since the last official promotion album of Glory to Death, which means that Glory to Death has almost "disappeared" from the public eye for such a long time, and "Lost Wall" can still achieve such results, which is really terrifying!

From this side, it can also be seen how extensive the impact of the Grammys and the new contract is this time.

It is worth mentioning that although Madonna's "curtain call" this week successfully completed three consecutive championships, this week's radio on-demand champion is actually "Lost Wall", this single is ahead of the "curtain call" by a huge margin of two percentage points, dominating the radio on-demand rate charts, and "Lost Wall" has only been officially on the radio station for only four days.

In addition, the album "Bathing in the Morning Light" also had four other songs in the top 50 of this week's radio on-demand ratings, and even Nirvana's "Teenage Heart" appeared in the top 100 of the radio charts again after two years. What makes people laugh and cry is that many listeners actually think that "Teenage Heart" is a song that is glorious to death, and they don't know who the original singer is, obviously, these listeners have no interest in rock or even music, they just hear this song on the Grammys and think it's good.

It's also a profile of the Grammys' enormous influence.

If the achievements of the "Lost Wall" only stop there, then it will not be able to change the market pattern, let alone achieve glory to death. Obviously, the results of the first week of release are only the beginning of the glory of the "maze wall".

In the following two consecutive weeks, "Maze Wall" grabbed sales of 180,000 and 170,000 respectively, and dominated the radio on-demand championship in a row, but it was still inferior to Madonna's "curtain call", completing its runner-up three consecutive championships, and also becoming a witness to the "curtain call" five consecutive championships.

At this time, although the results of the "Lost Wall" are very good, but it is only "good", and some media began to scoff at the achievements of glory to death, and the "New York Post" likes to join in the fun, but they have never reported much on music, so this time it was just a joke, "The glory of winning many battles last year is still too immature in the face of the real diva Madonna." ”

In fact, what the "New York Post" said is not wrong, although last year was glorious to death, but the foursome who fought with them were newcomers, and the boy-man group relied on the album "Two Boys, Two Men" to really rank among the top, and Madonna is definitely not a singer of the same level. In 1984, he was named after "like a place." Female (like. a。 virgin)" is the queen of the present day who has won countless popularity, even Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey are absolute juniors in front of her. Madonna is still popular and is still the number one most popular female singer in the world.

The song "Curtain Call" caused a lot of buzz during the filming of the music video, and Madonna personally arrived in the Spanish town of Ronda, only to be protested by environmentalists because of the bullfight. After the release of the single, it won the championship with the momentum of sweeping thousands of troops, and the five consecutive championships were well deserved.

Therefore, the "New York Post" is ridiculing the glory to death seniority is too shallow, the popularity of the foundation is not solid enough, every qiē is like floating clouds and bubbles, on the surface it seems to be like layers of mountains and infinite extension, but in fact it is vulnerable, just a gust of wind blows, maybe there is nothing left.

However, then the "labyrinthine wall" ushered in a blowout: the Oscars ended happily again. Hugo, who did not participate in any publicity, once again ushered in high exposure, and the super popularity and excellent reputation accumulated by "Maze Wall" in the previous three weeks finally ushered in a good opportunity to explode.

In the fifth week of March, the sales of "Lost Wall" went out of an astonishing increase, winning 510,000 sales in one go, not only setting the highest weekly sales of a single since 1995, but also once again winning the championship of radio on-demand rate, easily ending the fifth consecutive championship of "curtain call", and Shun Lì topped the Billboard singles chart this week!

"Lost Wall" ushered in a full-scale explosion in the fourth week after its release, and the sales of 500,000 in a single week are among the top three in any year, such an outstanding result is not only not achieved by any single before the glory to death, but also other singers who have achieved such results can be counted on one hand. This brilliant week alone is enough to impress everyone with the popularity of glory to death.

What's more, it was Madonna who was defeated by glory to death.

In addition, the powerful explosion of "Lost Wall" also drove the sales of other singles "Bathing in the Morning Light", "Beautiful Day" and "Shape of the Heart. of。 my。 heart)" also returned to the top 10, once again recreating the feat of Glory to Death with three spots in the top 10 of the singles chart.

Incredibly, it took only four weeks for "Lost Wall" to bring its cumulative sales to 1.09 million, which also surpassed "A Beautiful Day" and became the fastest single to reach platinum certification in sales of Glory to Death, which also gave people a preliminary glimpse of the endless style of this track that achieved the top band of Glory to Death.

The major record companies can't help but sigh that EMI Records really has a good hand, and the new album of Glory to Death does not have a charter, and EMI Records has already made another profit.

In addition to the "labyrinth", there are other points worth talking about this week, and the names of three alternative rock bands, Green Day, Sound Garden, and Nine Inch Spikes, have appeared in the top 20 of the Billboard singles chart, which is unprecedented!
