The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 962 Double Ranking Champion
History, Birth——

With a vigorous and powerful manner, in a way that shocked the whole of North America.

"Viva La Vie" topped the Billboard singles chart and went down in history.

After the shock had settled a little, people finally began to examine the reasons.

It turns out that in the past week, "Viva La Vie" has swept the radio, and its on-demand rate has reached the top, far ahead of the second-ranked "21 Questions", surpassing the latter by nearly double, completing its dominance, showing the general public's love for the song.

amazing!

Finally, August 31st finally broke through that layer of window paper and won the band's first championship single with "Long Live Life" -

The popularity has reached a new height.

For a moment, the crowd was in an uproar, with cheers, exclamations and praises ringing out.

However, this is still not all.

With the long journey of "Ho Ho" and the rocket-like rise of "Long Live Life", the recognition and influence of the band August 31st has skyrocketed. Even if Anson's influence is left aside, the band has attracted widespread attention.

Naturally, the album "Midsummer Midnight" also came into the public eye.

Since its release in the last week of March, "Midsummer Midnight" has remained low-key. It's not that there is no response at all, but there is not much improvement either.

In the first week, more than 2,200.

This performance also helped "Midsummer Midnight" enter the Billboard album chart.

The Billboard singles chart lists the top 100, while the billboard album chart lists the top 200. As long as the sales exceed 1,000, it can basically be included in the chart.

So, making the list is no feat.

In the second week, more than 3,700.

In the third week, more than 1,900.

In the fourth week, there were more than 7,600 tickets.

The numbers are roughly like this, with obvious ups and downs and unclear patterns. The performance of "Hooray" climbing the singles chart can occasionally boost album sales, but sometimes it doesn't have much effect. It is difficult to accurately judge the connection.

In this way, through April and May, "Midnight in Midsummer" has remained on the Billboard album chart, but the cumulative sales in two months are less than 50,000 copies, which is regrettable from all aspects.

At this point, recall the contract Anson signed with Warner Records:
Anson chose royalties and gave up the signing bonus to fight for more royalties. However, now it seems that album sales of 200,000, let alone one million, are an unattainable goal, and Anson has made a loss.

Is this a case of being too clever by half?
However, Warner Records remained patient and did not give up on August 31st.

The "Long Live Life" effect arrived, giving the album sales a shot in the arm.

In the first three weeks of June alone, the album had sold a full 100,000 copies, doubling the total sales of the previous two months, showing a rocket-like trend and ushering in an all-round explosion in the last week of June.

The single-week sales of "Midsummer Midnight" exceeded 300,000 copies in one go, the exact number is 367,700 copies, and the energy exploded across the board.

A sudden rise to the top!
With sales of more than thirty-five copies in a single week, "Midsummer Midnight" topped the Billboard album chart, becoming the most popular album in the North American market this week!

One look at this week's Billboard 100 charts shows just how incredible a feat August 31st has accomplished.

Second, “Dance-With-My-Father,” Luther-Vandross.

Third, "St. Anger", Metallica.

Fourth, “Hail-To-The-Thief”, Radiohead.

5. “Come-Away-With-Me,” Norah-Jones.

Sixth, "Get-Rich-or-Die-Trying," fifty cents.

No. 7. “A-Rush-of-Blood-to-the-Head,” Coldplay.

8. “Dangerously-in-Love,” Beyoncé.

Ninth, the soundtrack of "2 Fast Furious".

10th, “Chocolate-Factory,” R-Kelly.

The above are the top ten charts of the Billboard album chart in the fourth week of June.

Every singer, every name; every album, every work, are all heavyweights and occupy a place in the long river of history - time will prove their existence.

however.

Here, "Midnight in Midsummer" firmly takes the top spot.

First. Champion. Top.

On August 31, the band emerged in an incredible manner, making the entire North American music market pay attention to the band's presence.

Undoubtedly a feat.

This week belongs to the band August 31st.

Singles chart champion, "Long Live Life".

Album chart champion, "Midsummer Midnight".

On August 31st, the band won the double championship, and truly had a place in the bustling music market this summer.

And this is just the beginning, the band's upward momentum continues.

Especially the singles chart which is updated faster and has more intense competition.

In the first week of July, "American Idol" is coming -

The second season champion Reuben Stuttad and runner-up Clay Aiken both released singles, and the live broadcast of the show's finale once again broke the ratings record, attracting more than 40 million viewers in North America to watch the live broadcast. It is undoubtedly the hottest word in the North American market now.

no opponent.

This week, the entire U.S. is paying close attention, and professionals generally predict that:

The championship of the Billboard singles chart should be a competition between Clay Aiken and Reuben Stuttad. Clay, who unexpectedly lost the championship on the final night of "American Idol", is likely to make a comeback and win his first championship single.

No disrespect to Reuben, although Reuben is also very outstanding, but people generally believe that Clay is the best candidate for the championship. If it weren't for the rumors behind the scenes that Clay likes men, which led to the program crew's secret manipulation to steal Clay's championship, the ending shouldn't have been like this.

After all, this is Fox TV, the always conservative Fox TV.

Conspiracy theories are spreading everywhere.

However, there is no evidence.

But this does not affect Clay's numerous supporters from speaking out for him.

Therefore, it is generally believed that Clay and Reuben's choice to release their debut singles on the same day is equivalent to a continuation of the championship battle. This time there is no behind-the-scenes manipulation of Fox TV, and the data of Billboard will not lie. Naturally, everyone's attention is focused on it.

Clay, Reuben?
Reuben, Clay?
Topic, continued in full.

Although the band was still popular on August 31st and the topic remained hot, it was still not enough in the face of the incredible craze of "American Idol" and became yesterday's news in a blink of an eye.

A one-week champion is still a champion, right?
Unbelievably, the topic's popularity continued to rise to a higher level. Just when people thought this summer couldn't get any crazier, reality gave a different answer, pushing the atmosphere to its peak.

Then, the latest Billboard singles chart was announced.

Champion, "Viva la Vita", August 31st Band.

Runner-up, “This-is-the-Night,” Clay Aiken.

Third place: “Flying-Without-Wings”, Ruben Stuttard.

Fourth, "21 Questions," fifty cents.

Fifth, “Ho Hey”, August 31st Band.

…Everything was quiet, not a sound was heard.

All kinds of speculations, right and wrong.

"Long Live Life" withstood the impact of the new single with its unparalleled performance, won the championship again, continued to defend the championship throne, and caused a roar.

This……

This?
This!
