Chapter 1683 1683 One step in history
"Yeah!" Everyone in the room stood up and cheered, the crisp sound of champagne mixed in, attracted everyone's attention, and then the champagne sprayed into the air, with strange screams and roars in a mess, and everyone's face was filled with a bright smile.
Maria looked at the agent who was spraying champagne. Although she had been trying to control her smile, the slightly raised corners of her mouth still couldn't hide her inner excitement. "What are you doing so anxious? The sales of Honor to death have not been announced yet." This was said on her mouth, but the surging smile in her eyes betrayed her true feelings.
"That's right, but it's a golden record in one day? This result is absolutely impossible to replicate." A crisp voice shouted directly, and immediately received support from everyone in the room. Everyone cheered. Even Maria herself couldn't help but laughed.
Indeed, Maria has truly stood at the peak of history after selling more than 500,000 records in one day, and even Whitney Houston could not achieve it. The album "Butterfly" finally made Maria proud!
At the same time, the Oasis Band, which had just been cheering, was silent. Liam raised his foot and kicked the glass table in front of him directly over. Fortunately, the glass was enough to explain, so it was not broken. However, the beer, pizza and fried chicken on the table were all scattered on the ground, and the ground was messy.
Looking at Liam with a ferocious face, Nol had no sympathy at all, and even gloated and took the blame. "I told you that this album is so bad, but we sucked the trash we made afterwards, even you don't know what you are singing about, so how could you beat other people?"
"Get out! If you want to lick Hugo's asshole, you go by yourself, I won't stop you." Liam raised his hand and smashed the lighter in his hand directly. Nol had time to block his cheek, but his arm was still hit. Nol was also angry, stood up and rushed towards Liam, "You are the slutty man who can't wait to sell anus!" Liam was not afraid, and clenched his fists and rushed over.
The others in the room rushed over and pulled Liam and Nol openly, shouting loudly, "The results of glory to death have not been announced yet, you have started to have internal conflicts, are there any ends!" A sentence made the two brothers Gallagher show a embarrassed expression, and they shook away their partners, and then sat down in the corner of the room, but did not go to see each other again.
Maria, who is far away in Los Angeles, and the Oasis Band that is located in Las Vegas, turned on the TV, locked in CBS TV station, and focused on the live broadcast of "Sixty Minutes", becoming one of the 48 million people in the United States. They knew better than anyone that the importance of the first-day sales competition was not only a data competition, but also a momentum duel.
One drum will make you look like a tiger, but it will fade again and then it will be exhausted three times.
Imagine that after winning the first-day sales showdown, the headlines of major media were filled with this news, and with the first batch of music reviews released at the same time, the winners can easily qualify for the lead in this ultimate showdown. Just like the first battle of the Battle of the Century, this is Normandy, it depends on who can log in first.
When Ed announced his sales of "staying at this moment", the house where Oasis is located was almost exploded. The sales of more than 400,000 yuan is not only the best results achieved by foreign singers in North America, but also set a new daily sales record in the North American music market. Oasis even reached a height that the Beatles had not reached back then. Such outstanding results were enough to make Oasis proud of the world.
Creative Records almost immediately began to prepare for the press release. "Oasis Band's new album sold wildly on its first day to create history!" It is necessary to make the front page headlines in all major sections in the United States and Britain tomorrow be browsed by this news. They even had to force themselves to calm down and think about what wording should be used for press releases to major media, otherwise the overheated brain will not be able to clarify the ideas.
However, the excitement of creative records did not last long, and Ed announced the sales of "Butterfly". Then Maria's new album had a promotional team of up to 36 people. The champagne started, the hand-pulled cannons sounded, and the record-breaking cake was also served. The feat of "a single-day sales gold record" was absolutely epoch-making.
Sony Columbia Records prepared the press release early. Their huge publicity team prepared four plans to face different results at the same time, striving to push the momentum of the album "Butterfly" to the highest point as soon as possible. The results of the single-day sales of gold records are enough to make them invincible.
However, neither Maria nor Oasis will forget: Honor's sales data have not been released yet.
There is no fool. The reason why Maria and the Oasis dare to celebrate in advance is not because they have no brains, but because everyone has a calculation in their hearts.
The sales of Oasis Band of more than 400,000 yuan is already the best in North American music history. Such sales data is extremely brilliant in any era; Maria's sales data of more than 500,000 yuan has broken an impossible single-day sales so incredible. In fact, the gap between Oasis Band and Maria's single-day sales data is also very small. Both have completed an impossible task, and objectively speaking, it is worth celebrating.
More importantly, the Oasis and Maria combined have already driven more than 900,000 yuan in the entire market, nearly one million in sales. The daily sales driving force of the music market is very limited. Take the mobilization of 1.23 million people throughout the morning as an example. Although this is only the data of ten major cities, it is impossible for everyone to enter the record store to buy albums, because the reception capacity of the record store is limited in one day. Even if all 1.23 million people enter the record store and each has an album, then Maria and the Oasis have snatched away nearly one million market. How much more effort is left to Glory until death?
Everyone knows this account.
However, many times, the settlement is not so simple and crude, because it is possible that one person bought ten albums, because 1.23 million people are only counted in ten major cities, and the statistics in the evening are mobilized by more than 1.8 million people in the United States, because there are only three hours in the morning, but there are nine hours in the afternoon... So, the suspense still exists, although it is not big, but it still exists.
The current results are acceptable for Maria and Oasis. Maria leads the first day of the final showdown with historical data; Oasis defeats at a slight disadvantage, but it still recreates the glory of the Beatles' landing in North America, and the remarkable sales data will become a powerful proof of their success.
The premise is that you should not make trouble until you die.
Once again, Maria in Los Angeles and Oasis in Las Vegas stood on the same front, praying for the same thing together, and becoming one with one heart and one mind like never before, hoping that both sides could win this battle together.
But, does Honor agree to death?
All of this sounded long, but it just happened in the flash. Ed took a deep breath on the TV screen, made a deliberately pause, and then said, "Okay, everyone knows, there is still the last answer left."
This speech calmed Maria and the Oasis Band, the live room, and the entire North American continent. Four hundred and eight million people stared at the breath, all their eyes focused on the card stock in Ed's hand. The scorching temperature seemed to easily ignite the card stock. There was no sound at all, as if any sound would destroy the solemnity and grandeur at this moment.
Ed felt a slight itch in his throat, and his heart seemed to have squeezed into his throat, making him breathless. Even though he had already known the answer, the sweat on his palms and the back of his head still clearly showed his true emotions at the moment. He couldn't help but swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and his pupils trembled slightly a few times, just like a rookie standing in front of the media for the first time. Ed knew that this was ridiculous, but he just couldn't control himself.
Before his saliva could slide across his throat, it evaporated directly. The hot throat made Ed almost suspect that he could not make any sound. He seemed to be able to clearly feel the gaze of the 48 million people in front of the TV. Even though his brain was ringing the alarm, "This is live broadcast, this is live broadcast..." But he couldn't help it and coughed twice, which relieved the itch and sensation of his throat.
Ed looked at Mike next to him, and Mike's calm eyes calmed him a little, and finally said, "Glory to death..." Damn, he was so nervous that he forgot the title of the album that Glory to death, and looked down at the card paper in his hand, "'Storm'," It was a storm. Literally, Ed didn't change his breath, and said, "Sixty-sixty-eight, sixty-fivens."
After reading this set of numbers, Ed found that his hands were completely wet with sweat. He uneasy to adjust his sitting position, but his hands still tried to keep a steady display of the card stock to the camera lens, which read, "'Storm', 668, 659".
But then Ed found that the entire live room was silent, and even the slight sound of the camera running became so clear, echoing clearly in the space, making people feel that the narrow live room was like an endless canyon. In fact, not only the live room, but the entire North American continent was now in silence, as if even the sound of the engines of vehicles on the street had disappeared, the voices of radio hosts, the sounds of other TV stations broadcasting, the sounds of discussions in convenience stores, the sounds of chatting in coffee houses, and the sounds of pedestrians passing by the road... all disappeared.
Quiet, everything is quiet, dead silent.
