Chapter 962 Double List Champion
History, birth——
Vibrantly, mightily, in a way that shocked the entire North America.
“Long Live Life” went down in history as it topped the Billboard singles chart.
When the shock subsided a little, people finally looked at the reason.
It turns out that in the past week, "Long Live Life" has completely swept the radio stations, and the on-demand rate of radio stations has reached the top, and is far ahead of the second-ranked "21 Questions", surpassing the latter by nearly double to complete its dominance, showing The general public loves this song.
Amazing!
Finally, on August 31st, the band finally broke through that layer of window paper and won the band's first number one single with "Long Live Life"——
Hot , climbing to a whole new level.
For a while, the crowd was excited, cheering, marveling, and praising.
However, this is still not all.
With the long journey of "Ho Hey" and the rocket rise of "Long Live Life", the recognition and influence of the band on August 31st skyrocketed. Even leaving aside Anson's influence, the band It also attracted widespread attention.
Naturally, the album "Midsummer Midnight" also entered the public consciousness.
Since its release in the last week of March, "Summer Midnight" has always been low-key, not completely unresponsive, but not much improvement -
First week, two thousand two hundred Multiple pictures.
This performance still helped "Midsummer Midnight" enter the Billboard album chart.

In this way, through April and May, "Midsummer Midnight" has remained on the Billboard album chart, but its cumulative sales in two months are less than 50,000. From all aspects All depressing.
At this time, think back to the contract signed between Anson and Warner Records:
Anson chose royalties and gave up the signing bonus to strive for more royalties. However, now it seems that album sales of not to mention one million, but two hundred thousand are also an unattainable goal. Anson made a loss-making business.
Is this considered being clever but being misled by cleverness?
However, Warner Records has always been patient and did not give up on the August 31st band -
The "Long Live Life" effect came, giving album sales a shot in the arm.
In just the first three weeks of June, the album has sold a full 100,000 copies, doubling the total sales of the previous two months, showing a rocket surge, and ushering in the last week of June. Come to an all-round explosion.
The single-week sales of "Midsummer Midnight" broke through 300,000 copies in one go. The exact number is 367,700 copies, and the energy exploded.
A sudden rise and a strong climb to the top!
