Chapter 1304 The so-called superstar
Times make heroes——
From the moment Anson and Miles met to compose "Wake Me Up" inspired by the cello, things were off to a very different start.
Then, the weather, the right location, and the right people.
Step by step, the band finally reached its current position on August 31st, playing the role of pioneer and leader in the tide of the times.
One call and hundreds of responses, with great momentum.
And everything is just the beginning.
After the special deluxe version of "Midsummer Midnight" landed at the top of the Billboard album chart, it did not disappear like a shooting star, but showed long-lasting stamina.
Seven weeks!
It has been the champion for seven consecutive weeks. Its strong and sturdy performance is no less than the sales of the original version, refreshing the predictions and perceptions of the music industry again and again.
Who could have predicted it?
Not just one week, not just two weeks or three weeks, but the band's special deluxe edition album on August 31st was actually able to achieve seven consecutive championships in an incredible way?
The momentum is not inferior to Norah Jones who swept the four major comprehensive awards at the Grammys last year.
At this moment, people really realized that the biggest winner of this year's Grammy is not Beyoncé, but the band August 31st.
It can even be said to be the only winner.
No comparison means no harm. Although Beyoncé won five phonographs at the awards ceremony, her albums and singles did not get the Grammy effect——
Yes, there is still some, but it is very limited and has no explosive power at all, and it is not worth mentioning compared to the performance of the band on August 31st.
However, the really cruel part is that the media didn't even mention it too much, not because they didn't want to hurt Beyoncé's pride, but because their attention was so focused on August 31st that they forgot about Beyoncé.
forget.
Such cold and cruel words happened to Beyoncé.
Not just any cats and dogs, but Beyoncé, who won five gramophone trophies at the Grammys. This only highlighted the brilliance of the August 31st band, stealing all the focus with a devastating attitude.
Both the original version and the special deluxe version of "Midsummer Midnight" are at the top of the Billboard album chart. The market is speaking, and practical actions prove that the general public's concern is not limited to the band's special deluxe edition. They are becoming the band's die-hard fans. Even to ardent supporters.
The Grammy Effect shines again!
If it hadn't been for Usher, the special deluxe edition of "Summer Midnight" would have stayed at the top of the Billboard album chart for a few more weeks.
Just like the singles chart, the album chart is also in a situation of "August 31 Band VS Usher". This spring's North American music market is their duo.
Usher's fourth studio album "Confessions" has finally been officially released after more than five months of previews for the first wave of singles "Yeah" and the second wave of singles "Burn".
Even Usher himself did not expect that the performance of the first two waves of singles was so good that the release date of the album continued to be pushed back, and the momentum continued to rise, finally detonating when the album was released.
The album "Confessions" achieved overwhelming sales of 1.09 million in the first week of its release. It topped the Billboard album chart by breaking the single-week sales record for rhythm and blues albums, ending "Midnight in the Summer." Special deluxe version of the seven-week winning streak.
Such a strong and sturdy sales performance directly caused the entire North American market to explode, and the glory of rhythm and blues continued to rise. As with the singles chart, the album chart also saw Usher end August 31st's reign.
But to be fair, on August 31st the band ended the possibility of Usher's "Yeah" chasing history, which could be considered Usher's counterattack.
Despite this, the special deluxe version of "Midsummer Midnight" was blocked by Usher. However, the seven-week championship still allowed the album's cumulative sales to exceed two million, writing an astonishing result.
In addition, the original version of the album has also boosted sales. Currently, the cumulative sales of the album "Midsummer Midnight" are approaching eight million, and there is not much left to cross the iconic threshold of 10 million.
Moreover, it is worth noting that this is only the sales in North America, and the sales in overseas markets have not been included. If calculated together, the global sales of "Summer Midnight" have already exceeded 10 million, and are still heading towards more The high numbers continue to climb.
Such a performance is incredible!
When people reacted, they realized Anson’s momentum——
From the box-office hit of "The Butterfly Effect" to the overall brilliance of the "Summer Midnight" album and single, the former proves Anson's vision as a producer and his appeal as an actor, and the latter proves Anson's influence in the music market strength and leadership as a young artist.
Superstar, no doubt.
From all aspects, Anson has surpassed Leonardo DiCaprio and Johnny Depp, who are highly praised by the Academy, to stand at the top of Hollywood.
vase?

So what, the objective existence of this influence and appeal is a signboard. All film companies, record companies and all aspects of the entertainment industry are all following it, and there is no end in sight to the huge momentum.
College, what do you think?
Indeed, this year's Oscars ceremony was a complete success. Thanks to the sweep of "The Lord of the Rings: Part III", the box office and awards were double, and the ratings and reputation were soaring across the board. It wiped away the frustration of being entangled and pulled by the Grammys. This is also a direct result. Prove one thing:
The ratings are just as great without Anson!
However, without Anson, there is indeed no impact in terms of viewing figures; but the reality is not that simple. Johnny Depp, who the Academy has high hopes for, also failed to ignite the topic. The super high box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean" was completely unexpected after the Oscar. The wonderful——
In the movie, people like the elusive Captain Jack Sparrow who is both good and evil; but in reality, Johnny Depp received an Oscar nomination but looks like a reckless hero who was recruited.
Of course, it’s not enough to complain. In 2004, the authority of the Oscars was still trustworthy; but the heated discussion after the awards ceremony also disappeared. Johnny Depp was lost in the crowd that night, and he was not as good as Jack. -Captain Sparrow stirs up debate like that.
When the award ceremony is over, everything is over——
Just like the Grammy effect, the Oscar effect also exists.
Not only does the movie have an impact on the box office, but it also has a follow-up buzz and the impact on the entire industry; imagine that because the Oscar ceremony has been brought forward, the summer season has also been brought forward. This influence is absolutely unrivaled.
However, what about this year’s Oscar effect?
Calm and calm.
The hustle and bustle of the award ceremony was like a bubble that dissipated completely with a gentle blow, and the Oscars were forgotten as soon as I turned around.
Look at the Grammys and the frenzy of the August 31 band.
Sure enough, as the old saying goes, there is no harm without comparison.
