[Seven hundred and six nominations]

Romance Chinese.com, update the latest chapter of Daxigu at the fastest speed!

In the first week of December 2011, the Billboard Albums Chart released a new chart, with Drake’s “Take-Care” debuting at number one and Adele’s “21” Continuing to be the runner-up, the 21-year-old actress has undoubtedly become the biggest winner in this year’s music market.

However, in the top ten list, the most eye-catching is not Adele, who has remained strong, nor Derek, who has achieved remarkable results. It is this week that sold 35,000 copies to become the top ten newcomers. “Don Quixote” of faces.

Since the release of “Don Quixote” on August 29, in the absence of supporting publicity, the reputation has continued to rise, not only the rave reviews from professional media, but also created a rare high score in recent years. It has become one of the most popular albums by music critics in the 21st century; it has also been widely recognized by listeners, in major forums, in the fan community, and in the independent music lover group, Positive feedback has the upper hand.

Strictly speaking, this is a downright indie folk album, even more niche, low-key, and focused than Jason Mayez was.

From the first song to the last song of the whole album, from the number of songs as many as sixteen to the theme core of double-sided double repair, from packaging to pricing, from music style and theme tone, every link and every detail is In the self-entertainment revealing the high and widowhood, as if living in a sterile isolation world, recalling the golden age of the 1970s and 1980s, immersed in retro melody and dancing gracefully.

Albums of this type and style, in the 21st century, in fact, there will be a dozen or more in the field of independent music every year, but most of them are just garage music – not officially processed in the studio, but Complete recorded music in the garage.

These works can’t find a market, can’t find distribution, can’t find a performance stage, and naturally, can’t find a living space.

Ninety percent of these albums, probably never heard of at all, probably just circulated among Seattle’s underground music lovers.

Pure word-of-mouth spread can’t even get them out of the city’s shackles, from Seattle to Houston, let alone spread across the United States.

The network that looks for a needle in a haystack will not work either.

“Don Quixote” is an outlier.

Whether Eleven admits it or not, and George Slender admits it or not, the fame and attention that the name “Renly Hall” maintains has become fertile ground for this album to thrive, as if “The Tonight Show” ” became the stage for the debut of “Don Quixote”, just as the popularity of YouTube became the platform for “Night of the Pioneer Village” to shine, first “Fast & Furious 5”, and then “Love Crazy” ”, and a series of promotional campaigns during awards season, the attention this album has received is truly extraordinary.

Of course, the album “Don Quixote” is destined to be a work that will not be accepted by the mainstream market, which is beyond doubt.

Therefore, the sales of the album did not explode, nor did it break out the astonishing sales of 100,000 or 200,000 in a single week, nor did it show an amazing 90-degree upward curve, but it was still down-to-earth and step by step in the real music lovers. spread among them.

10,000 copies, 20,000 copies, 30,000 copies… After 12 weeks of listing “Don Quixote”, the weekly sales finally exceeded 30,000 copies, and the cumulative sales also successfully exceeded 100,000 copies. 12,000 copies, which is a miracle of sales for a folk album with a slanted sword, and for an independent album without any publicity.

Even George and Eleven Studio themselves could not have foreseen such a trend!

As a result, “Don Quixote” became a beautiful landscape in the music market in 2011.

Miracle?

This may not be called, at least not comparable to the “21” album’s destruction; wonderful?

This is beyond doubt,

Countless independent music magazines, independent musicians, and independent music lovers are rejoicing, celebrating another breakthrough in independent music and giving people a new hope.

This week, “Don Quixote” deserved to be the biggest news item when it reached the top 10 of Billboard’s album chart for the first time since its release.

Not only that, thanks to the frequent increase in album sales, the results of singles are naturally rising.

The first is “Ophelia”. This single stayed on the chart for 66 weeks, and the ranking still stopped at No. 78. Quietly, it also created its own record— — The longest-running all-time single on the singles chart, “Ophelia” is temporarily at No. 4, just behind Jason Mayez’s “I’m Yours,” There’s “How-Do-I-Live” by LeAnn- and “Cleopatra,” which is making history.

At present, there is Adele’s “Falling into the Abyss”, this single has been on the chart for nearly 60 weeks, and it still ranks in the top 30. It seems that the result of surpassing “Ophelia” does not seem to be there. Next.

Followed by “Cleopatra”, eighty weeks, a full eighty weeks, this single not only broke the record of “I Am Yours” on the chart for seventy-six weeks, but also created Miracle, this week’s single ranked thirty-ninth, and from the data point of view, the pace of record creation has not stopped, which can be said to be appalling.

Finally, there is “Believe in No Doubt”. After landing on the chart in the third week of October, the popularity of this single has remained high, and with the box office performance of “Crazy Love”, it continued to rise in the second week of November. It rose to the third place at the time, and once again set the record for the highest ballad single since the new century.

If “Cleopatra” is a long stream of water, then “I firmly believe” is undoubtedly the explosion of a powder keg, reaching an incredible height in an instant, attracting more and more attention with a volcanic eruption. Force, sprint, sprint, and then move up the list for the first week of December, finishing second, just behind Rihanna’s “We-Found-Love” .

This is undoubtedly a breaking news!

It really made people feel the strong influence of the album “Don Quixote”, and the strong staying power of the movie “Love Crazy”.

One has to start with a question mark: where is the limit of “Cleopatra”?

Is there any chance of “believing in doubt” to win the championship?

Can the album “Don Quixote” go further?

More importantly, what place does this indie album give Renly to the music scene?

Also in the first week of December, the Grammys announced the nominees for the 54th annual awards ceremony.

Kanye-West’s fourth studio album continues the previous excellent performance once again, has been recognized by seven Grammy nominations, and deserves to become the most powerful rapper of today; in Kanye In addition, Adele, Foo-Flighters, Bruno Mars received six nominations, close behind.

Although you are the darling of the Grammys, Kanye’s limelight this year has been robbed by Adele and Bruno.

These two new-generation singers, the former’s second studio album and the latter’s first studio album, have both received double recognition in the market and music critics. They are definitely the hottest singers in 2011. Grammy’s further affirmation.

On the Grammy nomination list, Adele and Bruno were both nominated for three comprehensive awards: Album of the Year, Single of the Year, and Production of the Year. The gold content is unmatched by Kanye. Only one single of the year was nominated for the awards.

There is no doubt that at this year’s awards ceremony, the duel between Adele and Bruno will attract countless attention, but it is even more incredible that besides these two singers, there is a third singer who has won such an honor – Blue. Eli Hall, and the latter went a step further, swept all the nominations for the four major awards in the comprehensive category!

At the Grammy Awards, there are four comprehensive awards in total: Album of the Year, Single of the Year, Production of the Year, and Newcomer of the Year. These are the most important and most anticipated comprehensive awards; Categories, Pop, Rap, Dance, Rock, Country, etc.

Among them, the newcomer of the year is the top priority of Grammys every year, because every singer has only one chance to compete in his life. If you miss it, you will miss it forever.

Singers like Taylor Swift, Miss Gaga, Rihanna, Britney-Spears, and more, all failed to receive the trophy.

This year, Renly is not only eligible for the Rookie of the Year award, with The-Band-Perry, Nicki-Minaj, Skrillex, Bon-Iver and more Affirmative singers are in fierce competition; and they are also a strong finalist for all award nominations in the comprehensive category!

In addition, Renly also received two nominations for Best Alternative Album and Best Folk Album, for a total of six nominations, tied with Adele, Bruno, and Spitfire, becoming the most watched singer in the nomination stage. .

Compared with popular singers such as Adele, Bruno, Kanye, etc., the sales of the album “Don Quixote” barely surpassed 100,000. Renly is an amateur singer who is not doing a proper job. He actually won six nominations, swept all the departments of the comprehensive awards, and became the biggest winner of the Grammy nomination stage with the appearance of being born out of nowhere!

Coupled with “Love Crazy” and “Cancer Fighting Me”, plus preparations for the “Fast and Furious” sequel, this has created a grand spectacle of containment at JFK International Airport, not only by journalists, but also by fans They, the enthusiasm is completely ignited.

Grammy’s affirmation, this is undoubtedly one of the most important awards for “Don Quixote”, and at the same time, after being silent for nearly 30 years, folk songs have re-entered the mainstream public’s attention. In 2011, this is destined to become North American music. A year in the history books: Adele, Bruno Mars, Spitfire, Taylor Swift, Amy Winehouse…and, of course, Renly Hall.

Looking back at this year from a historical node, it is not difficult to find that this Grammy is the last carnival of the music market, and it is also the last glory of independent rock and independent folk.

Renly is just the tip of the iceberg.
