The Greatest Showman (Big Play Bone)
Chapter 856: New heights
No. 1 on the Billboard Albums Chart for six consecutive weeks! Sales exceeded 200,000 for six consecutive weeks! Dominated the Topic Hot List for six consecutive weeks!
With such an achievement, even Kanye West, even the Spitfire, even Taylor Swift, even Miss Gaga, even Rihanna, were not able to create such a feat in 2011; even Bobby Dylan in the 1990s also failed to achieve such market recognition.
In addition to Adele and Bruno Mars, Renly Hall is the third hand in hand.
However, "Don Quixote" is a folk album!
Such a contrast is enough to clearly feel the unparalleled and powerful influence of this album. On the Internet, in life, bit by bit about this album, word of mouth, gradually began to spread:
Without George Slander's desperate move, the album "Don Quixote" would never have come out, because Lanly believes that such an album cannot be recognized in the contemporary music market; during the album production process , George Slander and Herbert Jones even gave up two excellent works because of their worries and disputes about the album's tracks.
Including a number of independent record companies, they all retreated from the album "Don Quixote", and in the end, the 11th studio took over, otherwise the album would not be released at all; after the official release, the 11th studio's The propaganda budget is too tight to carry out related propaganda. So, unbelievably, there is no official channel for the album "Don Quixote".
At the beginning of the tubing, the birth of "Pioneer Village Night" was not a coincidence, but because the album "Don Quixote" was brewed and born there; more importantly, Pioneer Village was the whole album. The most important promoter of production and publicity, there is always a group of real Don Quixotes who are holding onto a piece of spiritual paradise.
...
As time progresses, March has passed, April has passed, and spring has passed and summer has come.
The enthusiasm of the album "Don Quixote" slowly settled down, but it did not disappear completely, little by little details added, flowing slowly in the long river of time, like a big wave washing the sand, and the crowd of onlookers blindly following the trend gradually left. But the loyal listeners who stayed in place discovered more and more details, and the whole album became more and more complete, more vivid, and more profound, so they became more and more in love with it.
Gradually, people finally understand why this album is so special, why this album has been passed from little-known to highly sought after, and it seems to have no context but it is so natural, why this album can get Grammy awards, why the media I think that Grammy’s choice is an important reform of the industry, and why the audience who have watched the "one-man concert" have become the supporters of Lanli...
"Don Quixote" has never been an amazing album. What it needs is the precipitation of time and the polishing of time. Only by calming down and listening attentively can we see the soul and truth hidden behind the melody. The three Grammy phonographs only opened a door, and countless people poured in, but only a small number of people stayed.
In just six weeks, "Don Quixote" exploded in sales of 1.53 million in one go, and the cumulative sales so far will have crossed the 2 million threshold.
A miracle, this is a real miracle; but when I think about it, this is not a miracle, but a journey: in an increasingly fast-paced modern society, there are still so many Don Quixotes hidden. Quietly, quietly waiting, waiting, persisting, until the appearance of "Don Quixote".
Even after looking back ten or twenty years later, there is no station, no music video, no publicity, "Don Quixote" from conception to creation to distribution, then to brilliance, and finally to the creation of classics, this journey, No hurry, no arrogance, no arrogance, no humbleness or arrogance, in the scouring and precipitation of time, opened up a path of his own.
Unique and irreplaceable.
In the fifth week of March, Bruce Springsteen’s new solo album "Falling Hammer Crusher" dropped to the top of the billboard album chart, ending the six consecutive championships of "Don Quixote" and also breaking "Don Quixote". "" and "" jointly blocked. However, the enthusiasm of these two albums has not diminished, but they have fallen to the second and third place correspondingly.
After that, the competition for the Billboard Albums Chart was reopened. The champions of the chart changed almost every week. I will appear on the stage after you sing. It’s not that the competition is too fierce, but that the newly released albums are not competitive enough. After the outbreak, it began to weaken. This is the status quo of the entire market.
Among these, the strength of "" and "Don Quixote" has become more and more commendable.
After the fifth week of March, "" stayed in the top three positions for thirteen weeks, and then returned to the championship in an incredible way. After only a week, it fell back to runner-up again and continued to dominate the rankings. , I can't see the decline at all, and the subsequent explosive force has completely rendered the language useless.
In comparison, the endurance of "Don Quixote" is still congenital insufficiency after all. After giving up the championship, he stayed in the runner-up position for a full eight weeks, and again suppressed the "" for eight weeks. All potential and The energy was finally exhausted, and he fell directly out of the top three, slid to fifth place in one go, and then continued to decline, hovering in the top ten rankings, temporarily slowing down the momentum of decline.
Although it can’t be compared with “Don Quixote”, at least, “Don Quixote” stayed in the top five for fourteen weeks, and after fourteen weeks, it still stayed in the top ten. There was no avalanche at all. sign.
Regardless of the subsequent momentum, "Don Quixote" has become the highest-selling folk album since the 21st century, and it has also become the most widely known folk album after Bob Dylan. Such achievements are enough to be recorded in the annals of history. After this, every step of "Don Quixote" is to refresh its own records and create its own history!
The strong explosion of "Don Quixote" album sales naturally promoted the single's performance, especially the performance of over 200,000 sales for six consecutive weeks, which can be called a great spectacle after the start of 2012!
In the third week of February, one week after the Grammys ended, on the latest bulletin board singles chart, the 18 singles from the entire album of "Don Quixote" were all on the chart! A full 18 songs, no omissions, all entered the list!
This performance, coupled with a single weekly album sales of 450,000, is amazing! At the same time, this also created a new history of the bulletin board: the singer with the most songs on the chart at one time! The singer with the most tracks on the chart at the same time! Also, the singer with the longest interval between album release time and singles entering the charts!
Of course, 18 singles, of which 15 capitals are in the range from 50th to 100th on the chart, and as many as nine capitals are densely divided after the 75th; and a week later, more than ten One capital made the list directly, and the remaining four longest songs only stayed for four weeks.
On the whole, the single score is not so shining, the highest ranking is "Time", 53rd.
In addition, "Ophelia" re-entered the chart. After wandering on the Billboard Singles chart for 68 weeks, it fell out of the chart. The record for consecutive weeks on the chart came to an abrupt end, temporarily ranking fourth in history. .
It’s worth mentioning that Adele’s "Falling into the Abyss" failed to overtake "Ophelia", and was finally fixed above 64 weeks in the number of weeks on the chart. However, this single won the championship for seven weeks. Naturally, it is not comparable to that of "Ophelia".
Two months later, "Ophelia" entered the list again, temporarily ranking 57th.
And "Cleopatra" has always stayed on the list unbelievably. It has slipped to the 94th place last week and will soon be out of the list. With the help of Grammys this week, it has recovered to the sixth place. Sixteen.
So far, the number of weeks for this single on the chart has reached 90 weeks, far surpassing the 76 weeks achieved by the original holder of the historical record "I am yours", and has established an almost unsurpassed history. .
After that, "Cleopatra" stayed on the list for three more weeks and officially appeared on the list. The historical record of the number of weeks on the list was fixed at ninety-three weeks, for this journey to create history. Draw a satisfactory ending.
Of the 18 singles, only three made it into the top 50.
"Beast", "Confirmed", "Your bones".
The first is "Your Bones". Since the "Allen Show", the popularity and popularity of this single has always existed, but it has not been officially ignited and detonated. With this Grammy Awards ceremony, Allen- De Janis once again proactively mentioned in the program, so the digital audio source download data soared.
Without any publicity, he not only made it to the Billboard Singles chart for the first time, but also ranked 41st, with impressive results.
The second is "Confirmation". With the popularity of "Love Is Crazy", the highest ranking of this single has reached second place. This is also the highest ranking record of folk songs since the millennium. But the single's battery life seems average. After reaching the peak of second place ~lightnovelpub.net~ only stayed for three weeks, and then slowly and slowly all the way down.
In the week before the Grammys, "Trusted Undoubted" temporarily ranked 37th on the list. Compared with the incredible ability of "Cleopatra" and "Ophelia" in the number of weeks on the list, "Undoubtedly" is only on the fifteenth week of the list, and the stamina is really not on the same level.
However, this week, "Confirm Without Doubt" re-entered the top 20 and returned to the 14th place, performing well.
Finally, "The Beast", this single that has never made the chart, thanks to the classic moments of the annual album winning speech, it became popular overnight, occupying the iTunes instant download chart for five consecutive days, and it is also on Spotify. The number of listening times has also exploded exponentially, which also made the singles soar, and directly airborne the fourth place on the billboard singles chart.
A year ago, the best performance of a folk single in the millennium was only sixth; a year later, the two singles "Confirmed Undoubtedly and "The Beast" both broke such a high level.
The record created and the brilliant writing of the album "Don Quixote" alone is enough to be recorded in the annals of history! 8)
