In the fourth week of January, the top five on the Billboard album chart were "Near Fame" for Glory to Death, "Music Box" for Mariah Carey, "Showdown" for Pearl Sauce, and Michael Burton (Michael). bolton). ohing)", Snoopy Dogg's "Dog Style".

This week was also hyped by the media as a "historic champion", and the "Rotation" magazine, which has always praised the glory to death, even believes that "this will be a new pen fun pavilion www.biquge.info that glory to death towards the height of Nirvana", but most of the media are just following the hype, and there are very few media who sincerely believe that glory to death can create a miracle of the Nirvana band, after all, the height of the Nirvana band's "don't mind" album is indeed difficult to match, and "almost famous" The overall quality of this album is still slightly lacking.

"Alternative Choice" argues that "the media has once again made the same old mistake of hype, and glory to death is a model of over-praise under the media, and time will prove that this band is just a boring commercial product". Similar arguments abound, and once again it is clear that the professional debate sparked by Glory to Death has not dissipated, even after the excellent performance of the festival.

But regardless of the attitude of the professional media, the reaction of the music market is the best echo of the views of Rotation magazine.

In the fifth week of January, Glory to the Death and Mariah Carey, hailed by the media as a "bitter showdown", once again engaged in hand-to-hand combat with bayonets.

"Music Box" took the lead in making efforts, and the sales in the first three days of a single week exploded with strong tenacity, beating the direct competitor "almost famous" to win the single-day sales championship for three consecutive days; But then "almost famous" came after the attack, and sales continued to climb for four consecutive days, especially on the weekend, two days of burning with the strong enthusiasm of fans, and swept the single-day sales championship for the second four days of the week.

At the end of the week, "Music Box" ignited 350,000 sales, which is definitely a super eye-catching number for an album that has been released for nearly five months and has won 5 million sales; However, "almost famous" ushered in a new peak in the tenth week of its release, with sales of 450,000 in a single week setting a new high for the number of sales in a single week after the release of the album, and its strong endurance is jaw-dropping.

After a fierce competition, "Almost Famous" proudly topped the Billboard album charts, proving its proud achievements in the market with real numbers, giving the Grammys a powerful riposte; In the tragic showdown that was hotly hyped by the media, although the "music box" had burst out of strong stamina, it still lost to its competitors and could only be the runner-up.

Although after the release of the Billboard album chart this week, the media have said that although Maria is the loser and is in second place, she proudly holds her head up to meet such a result; But the truth is so cruel, "Music Box" lost to Maicheng for the second week in a row in a head-to-head confrontation, which also left a deep imprint on the fact that "glory to death stepped on the shoulder of Mariah Carey to make history".

"Almost Famous" and "Music Box" were the first and second places, respectively, "", "Showdown" and "One Thing" came in third to fifth place, and the only change in the top five positions from last week was the resurgence of Snoop-Dogg, and the January Billboard album chart came to an end.

"Almost famous" completed the number one spot on the Billboard album charts, which was also a feat that "Don't Mind" could not accomplish back then.

In January 1992, while Nirvana pulled Michael Jackson off the throne and became the champion, they also lost to country superstar Geth Brooks with his album 'Rope Wind'. the。 Wind)" established him as the king of the country, winning the title for ten weeks, and elevating country music from the position of the favored object of listeners to the position of the ruler of the market, before this album, few country albums could sell a million sales, but the emergence of "Binding Wind" completely changed that.

On the one hand, there is rock leather. On the other hand, the country rises, and in the end, Nirvana only snatched the incoherent two-week title, while "Binding Tempest" completed two consecutive championships and then eight consecutive championships.

Now, "almost famous" withstood the strong impact of "Music Box" and completed the championship re-election, which is also a breakthrough for a heavy dà, which further consolidates the position of this album in the long river of history. But that's not the end of it!

In the first week of February, the time for the Grammy Awards ceremony is getting closer and closer, and the entire music market has also fallen, and everyone is accumulating energy for the Grammys. Therefore, February also ushered in a short downturn.

The highlight of this week's watch is the Jodeci band, which just released a new album in January, this four-piece band composed of two pairs of brothers, is also a product of the great wave of music in the early 90s, their musical style includes rhythm and blues, soul, hip-hop, etc., the band's name is an abbreviated combination of the members' names.

The band's creative ability was outstanding, Mariah Carey's album included their songs, and their musical breakthroughs and innovations had an impact on the entire history of music, later Mary Blying. j。 Blige), Messi Elliott (Missy. Elliott), Timbaland and other big-name singers have been influenced by them.

Their debut album, Diary. of。 a。 mad。 After a few weeks of brewing, this week also ushered in an outbreak, directly rising to the third place, and the table is very good.

In addition to the Jodeci band, the biggest focus of the week is Glory to Death and Mariah Carey, the competition between the two has entered a completely white-hot stage, although the album sales of "almost famous" this week have declined, but it still withstood the fierce impact of competitors again, with 270,000 sales of 250,000 sales of "Music Box", completing an incredible triple crown!

It will not be easy for even the top artists to achieve three consecutive tops on the Billboard album charts, and "near fame" has ushered in a full-blown explosion in the New Year after brewing in the last month of last year, showing strong market competitiveness.

Lost the Sang Yu of the East, and the glory died in the Grammy nomination stage, but it received a strong reward in the fan market, which is about the truth.

Under the glory of the three consecutive titles of "almost famous", the four albums of "Music Box", "Crazy Band Diaries", "Dog Style" and "Jenny" ranked second to fifth respectively, but they could not shake the topic of glory to death this week.

The three-week battle finally came to an end in the second week of February, with Alice's Prisoner's Disc (EP) "jar of flies. of。 flies)" exploded in sales of 240,000 as soon as it was released, and it was parachuted into the slightly sluggish Billboard album chart number one this week!

Alice's prisoner's victory not only ended the glory to death three consecutive championships, but also shows the strong appeal of grunge rock in the music market today, and most importantly, even the rock and roll leather led by glory to death. Life has struck, but in the face of the head-to-head competition of grunge, it still can't gain the upper hand, with pearl sauce in front and Alice prisoner in the back, and the shape is still very fierce. Of course, the Airborne Champion of Alice Prisoners can also be seen as the reason why 1993 will be called the golden age of rock and roll.

Under the impact of "Jar of Flies", the sales of "Almost Famous" and "Music Box" both fell below the 200,000 threshold, but even so, "Almost Famous" still beat "Music Box" again, occupying the runner-up in the second week of February, leaving the frontal competitor to be third.

Newcomer country singer John Michael Montgomery. michael。 Montgomery's debut album 'Cheer Up (Ki'. it。 up)" directly parachuted into the position of the third place, which is also one of the aspects of country music that now occupies the mainstream of the market, and the first album of the new singer can achieve such excellent results.

Snoopy-Dogg's "dog style" slipped to fifth place. As for "Diary of a Crazy Band", which had a good result last week, it slipped to sixth place.

The tragic matchup between Glory to Death and Mariah Carey obviously no one expected such a result, "almost famous" not only stepped on the shoulders of "Music Box" to complete the triple crown, but also slipped and still led the competition by one position, this kind of watch is really eye-catching.

What's even more commendable is that "Almost Fame" has always been beating its opponents in the next week, "Cheer Up" won the championship in the third week of February, while "Almost Fame" once again pressed "Music Box" one place, the two ranked second and third respectively, and "Fly Jar" slipped to fifth place behind "Dog Style".

Then the Grammy effect hit strongly, and the albums that achieved good results at the awards ceremony entered the charts one after another, but "almost famous" was not affected by the absence of glory to death from the awards ceremony, but continued to burst out with amazing energy, once again suppressing "Music Box" for two weeks, ranking second for the fifth consecutive week, and "Music Box" won the third place for the fifth consecutive week.

It wasn't until the second week of March that "Music Box" relied on indomitable stamina to complete the comeback and return to the championship, while "Almost Fame" slipped further to third place, and the runner-up was rhythm and blues superstar R. Kelly's new album "Twelve Games (12. play）”。

"Music Box" ended eight weeks of suffocating darkness and finally turned over and sang. Although "Almost Fame" ended the eight-week suppression of Maria, this is already a great achievement for glory to death, you know, the album "Music Box" is an important album to achieve Maria's title of "diva", and the "almost famous" watch Xiàn has fallen through everyone's glasses.

However, the "almost famous" album has not yet finished its history, and suppressing the "music box" is only the first step.
