Chapter 1093 New Inspiration
Everyone is paying attention to the championship battle between August 31st Band and Beyoncé, while professionals have noticed that August 31st Band has already performed in another way The way it suppressed Fifty Cent and Beyoncé, quietly writing history -
"Hoo Hey" is worth remembering, in its own way.
Maybe it did not reach the top of the charts like "Long Live Life" and "Wake Me Up", but it still opened up a sky with its own proud attitude.
The matter of "popularity" is indeed full of traps and unknowns.
After this battle, no matter what happens next, no matter whether "Ho Hey" can refresh history or how long "Wake Me Up" can stay on the top spot, the attention of the entire music market has been fully focused.
August 31st’s rise, music style, promotion strategy, etc., all aspects will inevitably arouse wider discussion.
“Rock and roll is dead”, this is the general consensus in the entire pop music world in recent years.
However, on August 31, the band emerged with a collision of classical and pop, breaking the shackles and powerfully summoning the market's rock craze. There is no doubt that this is an inspiration that no one should ignore.
Miracles always belong to those who dare to dream.
This time it's the August 31 band.
On the one hand, "Ho Hey" still failed to completely subvert history. It lingered in the top ten for a total of thirty weeks, tied for second in history. Despite this, such a feat is still worthy of attention. .
On the other hand, after "Wake Me Up" became the only entry in the top ten of the Billboard singles chart on August 31, it once again demonstrated the band's profound influence on the music market, and the subsequent burst of energy continued. Unstoppable.
Five consecutive championships!
Eight consecutive championships!
"Wake Me Up" is soaring all the way, and before you even have time to blink, the single has withstood the continuous impact of Beyoncé's second wave of singles "Baby Boy", easily tying "Crazy for Love" for the best performance, and Another chance to be among the best in history.
Fifty Cents in the first half of the year, and Beyoncé in the second half of the year, they all had the opportunity to touch the historical record, but the fierce competition made them both fail, and unfortunately they were unable to go further.
Now it is the turn of the most unexpected competitor among the troika.
Can "Wake Me Up" continue to make great strides?
The whole of North America is eagerly awaiting——
At this moment, another strong opponent quietly appeared in the field of vision.
Outkast, they are also jokingly called the replica of August 31st.
In fact, the two are completely different. The Wanderers are a two-person hip-hop group. They released their first studio album as early as 1994. Not only did they have the number one single, but they also had two chart-topping hits. Winning the Les Mills trophy is completely different from the August 31 band that popped out of the cracks in the rocks.
However, the second wave of Outkast's fifth studio single, "Hey-Ya!" is a breath of fresh air in the rap genre, not only using a large number of African instruments, but Integrating soul, dance music and other different types of singing styles, it emerged like a monster.
When this single debuted, it was jokingly called another version of "Ho Hey".
In fact, the emergence of "Heya" is indeed magical.
Wanderers' first single from this album, "The-Way-You-Move", performed disappointingly after its release. Under extremely high expectations, Results were far below expectations.
Under the predicament, three weeks after the release of the first wave of singles, the Wanderers immediately released the second wave of singles, "Hey Yeah", in an attempt to turn the situation around.
Sure enough, "Hey Yeah" took a little rocket ride and instantly became popular across the entire North American continent. Not only did it perform exceptionally well on the Billboard singles chart, it even led to the first wave of singles "The Way You Dance" Enter the public eye.
Turn the situation around in one fell swoop!
A song of "Hey Yeah" and a song of "Ho Hey", this year's bulletin board is indeed exciting.
While "Wake Me Up" completed its eighth consecutive hit, "Hey Yeah" was already firmly in the top five, and climbed to eighth with "The Way You Dance".
The soaring performance of the Wanderers Choir is not inferior to that of the August 31st Band.
Although there is basically no similarity between August 31st and Outkast, the media is still keen to discuss them together.
However!
"Wake Me Up" remains unstoppable.
Ninth consecutive championship!
Ten consecutive championships!
Eleven consecutive championships!
On August 31st, the band did it. It was the biggest surprise of the year and the biggest surprise. They emerged as a dark horse and wrote history. What Beyoncé couldn't do, and what Fifty Cents couldn't do, August 31st did it in an incredible way.
“Wake Me Up” has remained at number one for eleven consecutive weeks, becoming the twelfth single in Billboard history to reach such a milestone, following a series of great works and going down in history!
Exactly two years ago, Anson finished his audition for "Spider-Man", accidentally met Miles and his group on the streets of Manhattan, and composed a song on a whim——
The rest , it’s all history.
No one expected that "Spider-Man" would cause such a stir, and no one expected that "Wake Me Up" would change the fate of so many listeners.
There was "Ho Hey" writing history before, and "Wake Me Up" broke out in full force later. In comparison, "Long Live Life" seems "inconspicuous". What kind of Versailles is this?
Whether it is Beyoncé or Fifty Cent, they have their own moment and aura, and are undoubtedly an important part of the music market in 2003; however, in front of the August 31st band, they Both were eclipsed, with "Summer Midnight" being the biggest winner this year.
Behind "Wake Me Up"'s eleven consecutive No. 1 hits is Beyoncé's second single "Baby Boy," which has been No. 2 for nine consecutive weeks.
The atmosphere has been heightened to this point, but "Baby Boy" still failed to break through the blockade, but I don't know whether this single can have the same follow-up fate as "Ho Hey".
First week of December, Billboard singles chart.
winner, "Wake Me Up," August Thirty-One Band.
Runner Up, "Baby Boy," Beyoncé.
Second runner-up, "Hey Yeah", Wanderers Choir.
In addition, Outkast's "The Way You Dance" also surprisingly rose to fifth place.
Perhaps, in this rolling wave, only the Wanderers can rival the August 31st Band.
Facts have once again proved that the judgment of professionals is correct.
In the second week of December, the Billboard singles chart was completely shuffled.
Champion, "Hey Yeah", Outkast.
Runner Up, "Wake Me Up," August 31st Band.
Third place: "Stand-Up", Ludacris.
No. 4, "The Way You Dance," Outkast.
Fifth place, "Milkshake", Kelis.
Earthshaking.
It was so unexpected that there was total silence.
People expected "Hey Yeah" to reach the top of the charts and finally end "Wake Me Up"'s incredible eleven consecutive weeks of being number one. However, they did not expect that Wanderers' other single would continue to climb and become a full-scale rise. The momentum is completely unstoppable.
People expected the plight of "Baby Boy" after consecutive No. 2 hits, but they did not expect that Beyoncé would not be able to replicate the stamina of "Ho Hey" and fall directly out of the top five.
Wow, wonderful.
Brilliant!
