In the history of the billboard singles chart, not only the best singles that were airborne in the first week of release, but also popular singles that stayed in the top ten for more than 30 weeks, and slowly gained attention after entering the chart. The slow-hot single that finally achieved a breakthrough.
In 2008, the little-known female singer Lady-Gaga released the first single of her first official album, "Just-Dance".
At the beginning of the single’s release, no one cared about it. Ms. Gaga had to keep running in major nightclubs and clubs to promote the song, and slowly opened up the reputation of the song, and it was passed on by word of mouth. The fame spread far and wide. In the end, after 22 weeks of release, "Just Dance" successfully reached the top of the singles chart on the billboard after more than five months, and became Miss Gaga's first champion single. .
Such inspirational stories are not uncommon on bulletin boards. Compared to explosive power, the American music market has always been known for its long-term endurance. It is common for an album to sell well for five or six years.
In the current Billboard singles chart, the record for the longest time to win the championship is held by the Spanish duo Los-Del-, who released the single "Macarena" in 1995. "It took a full 33 weeks to reach the top of the championship, and stayed in the championship position for 14 weeks-this data is also tied for the second data in the history of the bulletin board.
This time, it was "Cleopatra" that made history.
From its release in March last year, to its first entry on the list in May, "Cleopatra" has been released for a full 41 weeks, of which it has been on the list for 32 weeks. Make it into the top 20 of the billboard singles chart!
Compared with the history-making singles, "Cleopatra" still has no channel, no publicity, and more precisely, no contract.
Whether it is Miss Gaga or the people by the river, when they made history, they were all unknown independent singers, but they all signed with record companies, no matter the size, at least the record company can provide resources and launch publicity.
In the American music system, there is no support from propaganda resources and no radio broadcast. This is equivalent to in a Tour de France bicycle race, other players are riding bicycles, but some people are running with their feet. .
But under such circumstances, "Cleopatra" wrote history, relying entirely on the spread of word-of-mouth, on the hot spots surrounding Lan Li, on the excellent quality of the song itself, and on The indomitable tenacity of indie music has created its own history in a very strange and absurd way.
Maybe someone would say that it’s just one of the top 20, not to mention winning, not even the top ten, but considering that this song is still under the name of the song cast, there is no company. Signing a contract, this feat is far more terrifying than "Macarena"'s record of winning the championship in 33 weeks!
This is definitely another folklore miracle since the 21st century.
Rock is dead. This is the consensus of people since the millennium. The rock and roll that used to be in the 70s and 80s, and the rock that was once invincible and sweeping the army, has gradually declined, except for Linkin-Park. In fact, no rock band has sold more than 10 million albums. The golden age of a hundred flowers blooming and a hundred schools of thought contending is gone forever, and accompanied by the prosperity and hustle and bustle of the music market.
But people have forgotten that the disco that has been glorious for a full decade has been no one cares about, the jazz that has supported it for half a century has also been dying, and the folk songs that once shined are dying.
At their peak, folk singers were hailed as modern poets. They used melody as a bridge and lyrics as a weapon. They used their ambitions for society, their expectations for the country, their criticism of politics, their interpretation of literature, and their understanding of life. Vented heartily. Once upon a time, folk songs were modern poetry. Those singers were like Shakespeare. They used their talents to leave precious artistic wealth in the long river of history, and made indelible contributions to society, culture, and the times.
But now?
What is a folk song? But it is the old, old-fashioned, ignorant and boring, backward, pale, and tasteless, belonging to the past of the grandparents generation, and it is piled up with thick dust, even unwilling to understand . Even Bob Dylan is an unfamiliar name for the new generation of young people.
In the 21st century, is there anyone who can win the Nobel Prize in Literature with the literary nature of folk songs like Bob Dylan? Is there anyone who, like Bob Dylan, can give folk songs a profound literary and artistic quality, even comparable to those handed down masterpieces? Can anyone like Bob Dylan make music a part of social progress, use his guitar as a weapon, and become a pioneer in society?
No, no. In the trend of popular music, even Bob Dylan's place to stand is gone.
Jason Majes’s "I’m Yours" stayed on the billboard singles list for 76 weeks, breaking the record of the single’s time on the list and reawakening people’s concerns. The fond memory of folk songs; but it was just a flash of inspiration. The quality of the several singles released by Jason afterwards was not inferior, but after all, they did not have such a devastating energy.
But today, "Cleopatra" slowly entered the top 20 of the billboard singles chart without any publicity. In a trance, people once again see the glory of the golden age of folk songs. ——The era of revelry and popular pursuit by the whole people.
Following the "Mixer", the official "Billboard" magazine reported on "Cleopatra" for the first time this week.
"It's hard to imagine that, in the popular and hip-hop era, there is a singer who has returned to the embrace of folk songs so boldly. This is not a folk song that blends other styles, nor is it a folk song that caters to contemporary tastes, nor a folk song that conforms to the trend— —
A simple guitar, combined with the unpretentious sand hammer, reproduces the simplest, purest and most sincere arrangement, so that the moving and beauty of every musical note is integrated into the melody; the poetic lyrics are just like The whispers of the bard, the sigh of history, the perception of life, the recollection of life, and the literary foundation that can awaken Shakespeare's memory, bring the charm of the lyrics to the extreme, like a poetry, timeless and profound.
This is the folk song.
Even independent singers, even Bob Dylan, even in the sixties, this is a song worthy of praise, mesmerizing. "
As the leader of popular music in the United States, the authority of "Billboard" is undoubtedly comparable to that of "Rolling Stone." "Leo Patra", and contemporary folk songs worthy of attention, this once again gave "Cleopatra" enough affirmation.
Forty-one weeks ago, if someone said that a ballad would be among the top 20 on the bulletin board, everyone would probably sneer. Even as a joke, it’s not funny; thirty-two weeks ago, if someone said, "Cleopatra" will be among the top 20 on the bulletin board in eight months. It is estimated that a group of people will laugh off their teeth and tears.
However, all this happened in real terms.
Even Alan Dejanis, she did not expect that a temporary idea would actually bring about the emergence of history; even Andy Rogers, he did not expect that it was originally intended to promote the "buried alive" program. , Actually achieved the brilliance of "Cleopatra"; even for the "Allen Show" program group, they did not expect that a video that they edited at random would actually make rapid progress on the tubing and become a hot spot for a while.
The advent of "Your Bones" detonated the focus of the topic, and finally achieved the glory of "Cleopatra". For most ordinary listeners, this single is a new track that just appeared in 2011; but for the old folks in the pioneer village, this is the result they look forward to after working hard for a year.
"Hudson! Hudson! Hudson!"
On the other end of the phone, Neil Tucson’s shouting voice came over clearly, and the uniform response could be heard behind him. It is estimated that everyone in Pioneer Village had come out to make a noise together, which made Lan Li feel dumb. Chuckle.
When "Cleopatra" first entered the charts, he and Neal made a bet that if this single could make it into the top 50, he would take Neil to the Hudson River in New York. Take a drive~www.novelhall.com~ Who could have imagined that a joke at the time actually became a reality. Moreover, it's not just the top fifty.
When Lan Li saw the bulletin board list, he still felt a sense of ridiculous unreality. Even novels did not dare to write like this, but it was happening in real life.
"Hudson! No problem!" Lanly replied in a loud voice, and then continued to add, "It's not just Neil, everyone in the bar, as long as we want to go, we will go together. I rent a private yacht. Get a glorious view on the Hudson River!"
The sound spread through the microphone speakers, drew the deafening cheers of everyone in the bar, everyone banged on the table, the sound of ping-pong is so lively, reminiscent of watching football every Thursday night Bar grand occasion.
"Stanley! You are not allowed to escape. If it weren't for you, all this would not have happened, so you must go." Lan Li seemed to anticipate Stanley's refusal and preemptively blocked Stanley's back road. Sure enough, there was a burst of laughter from the telephone receiver, and Lan Li could even paint Stanley's embarrassed and helpless expression in his mind, which made the smile on the corner of his mouth also outlined.
Hanging up the phone, the snowy, quiet and far-reaching valley scene outside the window was laid out.
