It's not uncommon for an album to release multiple singles for ten songs, as long as the songs on the album have the quality to become singles. In the album "two", in addition to "Never Walk Alone (ne, which was released as a special single, seven songs have been released as singles, this time "Tonight I Want to Cry ( ry was released as the eighth single, and the ninth of "Two," which, while not a frequent occurrence, was not a record.
However, "Two"'s previous eight singles from the album included "Never Walk Alone"
Including, the first single won the championship, but it created a new record in history. You must know that this record was only "five" before the number of singles that won the championship in the same album. Now, Evan Bell raised the record straight to "eight" which is really amazing. So can "Tonight I Want to Cry" take that historical record one step further?
The single cover of "Tonight I Want to Cry" is a bit incomprehensible, because Evan Bell chose a starry night sky as the cover background, which has no connection with the song except "Night". However, the composition of the picture and the texture of the album still maintain the high level of the Eleven Studio, which makes people addicted to it.
Later, there was a lively discussion among the singers about the meaning of the cover. Some people deduced that the stars represented tears, which did not receive much support: some people mentioned a folk saying that when a person dies, if he There are people who need to be guarded, and they will become stars in the sky, so the stars in the sky are countless guardian angels. This cover is a metaphor that you are actually being guarded by someone. This statement has gained a lot of popularity. For these discussions, Evan Bell also continued his usual style: no explanation was given.
"I Wanna Cry Tonight" did not produce a corresponding . The response from Warner Records was that Evan Bell did not have time now and would make reshoots when there was time in the future. Most of the songs are paid for this statement, because Evan... Bell is indeed busy, and it can even be said that he has disappeared: almost no reporters are paying attention to the "Mysterious Skin" crew.
After the single was released, it achieved sales of 230,000 in the first week. This result is much better than the current "Bad Day". Because the competitors are not too strong, "Tonight I Want to Cry" airborne to the announcement The third place on the singles chart of the brand, the results are very good. And together with "Bad Day", they held two positions in the top five. As the album "Two", which has been released for more than 15 months, the sales strength of these eighth and ninth singles is still impressive. Stunned.
After the release of "I Wanna Cry Tonight", Evan-Bell's recognition among urban white-collar workers and middle-aged people has been further expanded. "Bad Day" tells the story of how urbanites must learn to find positive meaning in their daily life when they are under increased stress and a messy life. This has endless resonance for people in society after leaving society, which is also for Egypt. Wen Yibeier has made great contributions to expanding the foundation of song mí.
Now "I Want to Cry Tonight" is still aimed at the main family members who are under great pressure. The urban white-collar workers have to face the troubles of life and love, and the head of the family has to face the pressure of affording the family's livelihood....... In fact, every day People are all facing stress, but everyone deals with stress differently, and everyone's way of venting is different. "Tonight I want to cry" is to tell everyone that after being strong for a long time, in fact, you need to be weak occasionally, otherwise you will be strong for too long, and you will even forget that you actually need to be cared for. Urban people are always used to arming themselves with masks or even armor, because in the cruel competition of social intrigue, it is like the survival of the fittest in nature, and the weak will be eliminated. But "Tonight I Want to Cry" tells people that on "Tonight" they can relax a little, at least for four minutes and eighteen seconds of the song, and let their guard down.
So "Tonight I Want to Cry" has once again set off a moving emotional whirlwind among adults, with radio demand rates soaring, edging toward the dominance of "Bad Day." "Tonight I want to cry" gave everyone a reason to calm down and relax.
Evan-Bell's previous songs were still dominated by young people, and although there was also a slightly older crowd, there were not many after all. The sales of "two" are also mostly driven by young people under the age of 30. Now "Bad Day" and "I Wanna Cry Tonight" can make a further difference in sales, and it is precisely because the songs are aimed at a wider mass base, which is also the sales performance of these eighth and ninth singles. The reason is even more dramatic than the seventh single "Reckless (rld released last summer.
In its second week, "Tonight I Want to Cry" sold 240,000 copies, and moved closer to No. 1 on the Billboard singles chart, finishing second. This made the media all [excited], is it coming? Is the historical record going to be rewritten again?
In this case, "Tonight I Want to Cry" hit another 270,000 sales in the third week, but unfortunately lost to "Bad Day", which had a long sales volume, and remained in the runner-up position. Losing to another single of Evan Bell's own, this made the media quite speechless. Did the historical record stop like this?
In fact, the media also discovered that Evan Bell doesn't care about creating historical records at all, because if he cared, he wouldn't let "catalyst" and "desperate" be released at the same time last year, and it won't be released this year. "Tonight I Wanna Cry" was released just in time for "Bad Day". For Evan Bell, historical records are really nothing, and there is not much special significance. If you have time to think about recording, it is better to make your own music and movies well, which is more important.
Then "Tonight I want to cry, and there is no chance of winning the singles chart again, because this single was strongly blocked by Alicia Keys!
Since the 44th Grammy in 2002 received huge attention, Alicia Keys began to concentrate on preparing for her second album, and lost to Egypt at the 44th Grammy. Wen Yi Bell, and the next year or so saw Evan Yi Bell go to the top, and Alicia Keys was also full of energy this time.
After entering 2004, Alicia Keys released her second album, along with the title single "If I don't have you (n\\\'u), ... in the near silence. Two years later, Alicia Keys still has to rely on her strength to awaken the memory of her. The sales of "If I Don't Have You" also showed a slow upward trend. After entering the chart for seven weeks, it finally achieved No. 1 on the Billboard Singles Chart! This time, "If I Don't Have You" defeated "I Wanna Cry Tonight" to get this result, and it also made the media very lively for a while.
However, "I Want to Cry Tonight" is the ninth single of "Two", and Evan Bell did not participate in the promotion at all, and even the MV was not filmed, so it is not a head-on confrontation.
More importantly, despite this, "I want to cry tonight" still achieved a very outstanding result.
"Tonight I Want to Cry" stayed at No. 2 for three weeks, then slipped to No. 5. Like "Bad Day", the single's sales were also very long. It has been in the top ten of the Billboard singles chart. Although the sales volume is not strong, it still shows huge sales potential.
In the adult contemporary singles chart dominated by "Bad Day", "Tonight I Want to Cry" did not shake the momentum of "Bad Day", but it still stayed in the runner-up position.
Haruka remembered that "justadream" was the same, staying in the runner-up position for many weeks, but never being able to win a championship title. Now the same is true for "I want to cry tonight". The on-demand rate of radio stations is astonishing, and it has spread among urban white-collar workers in a sweeping trend. The sales volume is also stable and long, but it has always lacked a little explosive force, and in the end, it has not been able to win a bulletin board. Singles champion.
Despite this, "Tonight I Want to Cry" has set a series of records, such as the highest ranking, best selling, longest duration, etc. of the album's ninth single. As the ninth single of "Two", "I Want to Cry Tonight" burst out the energy, even without the blessing of the champion halo, it is still staggering.
It seems that both "Bad Day" and "I Wanna Cry Tonight" are bound to have decent competition on this year's year-end single sales charts. And you know, the album "two" to which these two songs belong is an album released in October 2002.
The result of "I want to cry tonight" came out runner-up for three weeks, top ten for 13 weeks, sales were impressive, but in the end, she didn't win the championship. Since Eleven Studio announced that "Remember in the Heart (i\\\'u will not release a single, the number of singles won by the album "Two" is also fixed at "Eight, this number. , it remains to be seen whether someone can break this record in the future, or whether Evan Bell himself can break this record.
However, strictly speaking, the super high quality of "Two" is too amazing. Even if Evan Bell wants to set a new record, it is not an easy task.
If the media knew, in fact, Evan-Bell didn't plan to release the single "Tonight I Want to Cry", it probably wouldn't be too surprising, and could only sigh that it was unintentional.
Evan Bell felt that the promotion period for the album "Two" was long enough that there was no need to continue releasing singles. But Claire Dyce was still very insistent, and in the end Li Yikelleher even called Evan Yibel. They said that this single did not need Evan Bell to promote it, but simply felt that a good song should be known to more people. At the same time, it is also paving the way for Evan Bell's album to be released this year or next year.
Facts have proved that the release of "Tonight I Want to Cry" is indeed a very wise decision, at least, this song has indeed touched the hearts of countless people. ! .
