In the third week of December, the album "almost famous" of Honor to Death achieved sales of 230,000. Although the increase seems to be a little lower than expected, as a band that has just debuted, Honor to Death has maintained a sales increase every week for three weeks since its release, which is a huge breakthrough.

In the global music market, album sales have their own characteristics. For example, the Asian market is a short-term explosive type. New albums in the Japanese market can often explode with 2 million or 3 million in the first month of release, but then there will be a huge gap in sales. Then, if they sell them in a flat momentum for a long time, the Korean market will become more obvious. Almost all album sales are concentrated in the first and second weeks after release. It is very difficult to sell albums in the long term.

However, in the US market, album sales have always been characterized by long-term best-selling. Pink Floyd, one of the greatest bands in music history, released in 1973, "Dark.de.of.the.on" on the Billboard album rankings for a total of 741 weeks, from May 1973 to July 1988, which lasted for fourteen years. This unprecedented record has not been broken until the distant future fourteen years later. It sold 15 million copies in North America in the format of vinyl, and is one of the twenty-five highest-selling albums in the United States so far.

In addition to "Dark Side of the Moon", there are five albums that have been on the Billboard album rankings for more than three hundred weeks. It can be seen that the American music market is mainstream with long-term sales.

Generally speaking, the sales volume of albums will inevitably be relatively strong in the first month, but it is rare to explode with a sales volume of 3 million in the first month like the Japanese market. More often, the albums will explode in the first month of the US market, and then spread to every week afterwards. Some albums can even rank in the top 20 in the year-end sales rankings for several consecutive years, and their long-term sales capabilities are very terrifying.

Therefore, after being released like "almost famous", there are not so many albums that maintain an upward trend every week. This is the sales curve of a typical new singer after his debut, because this means that this singer or this album is constantly attracting more listeners with the accumulation of reputation.

Especially compared with the "Fine Noodles Incident" of Guns and Roses, the "Fine Noodles Incident" fell by more than 50% this week, and only achieved sales of 190,000 yuan. "Almost famous" is even more valuable when the competition for rock albums is so fierce, and the unique style and incompatible with the market is still struggling to death.

Relying on the accumulation of sales of 230,000 on the third week, "Almost Famous" easily exceeded 500,000 within three weeks of its release, successfully meeting the gold record certification standard. No matter what the future sales trend of this album is, they have successfully broken through the underground rock circle and successfully found a place in the music market, which also completed the minimum positioning of EMI Records for the first album of Honor to Death.

After regaining the championship last week, Snoopy Dog's album "Dog Style" completed the Billboard Album Ranking Championship this week, and performed very strongly. The new album released by Maria Carey in September continues to rise, surpassing its competitors and ranks second in the week. Although the sales of Pearl Sauce has declined, it still retains its strength in the third place.

The top ten Billboard rankings appeared in the third week of December. The glorious "almost famous" who died of glory has gone further this week after breaking into the top 20 last week. Relying on the rapid surge in on-demand rate, it rose eight positions from the seventeenth place last week, and reached the ninth place on this week's list! It beat Guns and Roses, which were at the last place in the top 10, and became one of the four rock albums in the top 10.

Three weeks after the release of "Almost Fame", it almost completed a triple jump, and directly entered the top ten Billboard album rankings this week. This is undoubtedly a huge breakthrough, which also makes Honor to the death the most shining star in the last month of the year.

With the rise of glory to death, it is relatively the decline of guns and roses, and the chaos within the Nirvana band.

In the rock category, Pearl Sauce still holds the championship throne, and the runner-up position is still Mitt Laufer. "Hell Bat 2: Back to Hell" sales have rebounded slightly this week. Coupled with the excellent performance of on-demand rate, this album firmly holds its position on the category list, and it has successfully risen to fifth place on the Billboard Album Ranking, which is amazingly outstanding; "Almost Fame" has once again surpassed, rising to third place by name.

The three bands, Guns, Rose, Broken Pumpkin and Nirvana, ranked fourth to sixth in the rock category.

"Almost Fame"'s outstanding performance in the rock category list is that even facing a group of powerful competitors, it still keeps improving its rankings, and has achieved sales of 530,000 in three weeks, which is even more eye-catching, and undoubtedly joins the ranks of new rock stars. The performance of this album in the next two weeks makes "Almost Fame" naturally an indispensable member of the reappearance of the golden age of rock in 1993.

The fourth week of December, the annual Christmas Week, in the early 1990s, the box office and album sales of movies were always soaring due to the lack of the Internet, and movies and music were the most common methods in people's entertainment life.

In this week, after winning the first week of release, Maria Carey's new album "Music Box" returned to the championship in the Billboard album rankings. This album is undoubtedly the most successful album since Maria debuted. The huge sales success and the excellent reputation of music critics also allowed Maria to usher in the heyday of her career.

At this moment, Maria and Whitney Houston were the two queens in the American music scene. The two of them were very popular and far surpassed the male singers of the same period. At the same time, they also created the peak period of high notes and singing skills.

The only one who can compare with the two queens Maria and Whitney is the rock band that has fully revived in the past two years. The Christmas Week Billboard sales rankings are obviously the best proof.

Snoopy Dog lost the championship throne and changed a position with "Music Box" to be the runner-up of the week; after that, Pearl Sauce, Mit Laufer, and three albums of Glory to the death took the third place of the week, fourth place and fifth place respectively, and joined forces to push the rock frenzy to the peak of the year-end.

During Christmas Week, Guns and Roses albums fell sharply, falling directly to the 15th place on the list, showing its decline; the Broken Pumpkin and Nirvana Band also both fell out of the top 20. Although these three albums still retained the top six in the rock category, their overall momentum was far behind the other three competitors.

Pearl Sauce still performed steadily, steadily holding the championship of the rock category chart, and unshakable in the third place in the Billboard album rankings; Mitt-Laufer's album is becoming more and more courageous, and he continued to increase his sales and rankings after last week, using his own test method to interpret what it means to sharpen his knife and chop wood. The album "Hell Bat 2: Back to Hell" that took 16 years to create has won the full bloom of reputation and sales, and is a role model for the new generation of rock bands.

As a new band, Honor has performed better and better. In the midst of the controversy, he won the love of a large number of neutral fans and ordinary people by relying on his strong strength and excellent album quality. His sales reached a new high in the fourth week of the album's release, and continued to maintain his strong momentum with a sales of 260,000.

"Almost Fame" performed better and better on the billboard. The subsequent impact of the rock controversy wave began to gradually show its might in the Michael Jackson incident. Honor until death appeared on the tour stage of the Junjie Music Festival, which showed all loyal rock enthusiasts their solid basic skills and strong strength. In the rock world, live performance is always the best way to impress music fans. There is no doubt that at this point, Honor until death is never inferior to the confidence and foundation of any competitor.

Under such circumstances, "almost famous" ushered in a sales craze in the last week of 1993, which also pushed Honor to its first milestone since its debut.

"Almost Fame" ushered in a buying frenzy in the last week of the year. Obviously, at the end of November, the public opinion storm in early December finally burst out with real energy after the precipitation and accumulation of time. This made "Almost Fame" win 430,000 sales in one week. This was not only the highest single-week sales since the album was released, but also made the cumulative sales of the album four weeks after the album was released directly exceeded one million mark, ending its 1993 music market journey with 1.22 million sales.

This is obviously what Honor never expected before the release of the album, and it is also the best situation that EDA Records can imagine: an underground rock band, and a rock band that broke the grunge situation. The first album hit the music market in a shocking way and achieved one million sales of platinum records. This was simply a dream victory.

Now, it took only five weeks for Honor to die to accomplish this feat. The album was released for five weeks, sales were higher than the week, and the results were better than the week. This was completely the best situation I had always dreamed of.

However, the most brilliant result of Decorating Honor to Death in the last week of 1993 was not just a single-week sales of 430,000, but their first Billboard champion since their debut. Relying on the explosive sales data of the last week, "almost became famous" successively surpassed Pearl Sauce at the last moment. Mitt Laufer, the rock classification list that dominated the last week of 1993, ushered in the 1994 sunrise with a precious champion!
