Mill was released in 1999, and quickly broke through the platinum mark of the United States 13 in the following two years. According to official data, there are more than 30 million albums in the world, which is the best-selling album of 13 in the world. It is undoubtedly a miracle for Millennium, which has reached the top 20 of the world's best-selling albums only two years after its release.

Let's talk about voyeurs. Although they have been dissolved for decades, their records have never been released. They often publish an American version, a British version and an Australian version. Their best album Abbey Road has sold 29 million copies worldwide. They are real freeloaders, such as paul mccartney or something …

The miracle created by the Millennium is also particularly horrible. It is the first album in American history that sold over one million copies in the first week, and broke 520,000 copies on the first day. This achievement led pioneers to sell singers like Nsync and Usher and Eminem even in the first week. (Note * The data of1134,000 here are all direct sales data, and the first week of130,000 is the circulation. Similarly, Gart Brooks' album broke a million in the first week, which is just the circulation. ) The Millennium made BSB taste the first place in the world for the first time. That year, BSB's Millennium stayed on the BILLBOARD 200 album charts for 77 weeks and won the championship for 7 weeks in a row.

Some small things you should know about the Millennium

Accurate accumulation in the first week1134,000 sheets/US.

In the first week, it ranked first in the album list of 28 countries and regions around the world.

Nominated for the Grammy album of the year in the Millennium (of course, those scholars will not be interested in BSB)

The first single, IWITW, is the first and sixth in the singles list except BILLBOARD HOT 100.

The first single, IWITW, 17, ranked first in the national singles list and won eight national championships.

This album has brought everything to BSB, and it has also brought great pressure to BSB. No one thinks that any of their subsequent albums can sell better than Millennium. Even though the time for Black Blue to sell eight platinum in the first week is shorter than Millennium, the global sales are still much worse. "Never Die" can only sell thousands of sales in the first week, if according to my estimation. 1) I want that (1999)

Even Backstreet Boys's detractors sometimes admit that this single is a gorgeous pop song. Quintets' pure singing skills often distinguish them from those who covet the throne of men's bands. Listen to "I want that" and indulge in the harmony of the team. 2) greater than life (1999)

Consistent with the title, this single burst into a loud and shiny pop sound. This is the music of a vocal group at its peak. Unforgettable melody, chorus lyrics and beautiful human voice combine to become another popular song. 3) Quit the game (by heart) (1997)

It is easy for Song Like to fall into the mire of sadness, but the artistry behind the earnest and pleading voice attracted the audience. Its #2 peak ranks as the highest performance of the group in the pop singles chart. 4) Incomplete (2005)

After a five-year absence, the first single in the album Never Dies is uncharacteristically inclined to the field of rock folk songs. The group has not lost their vocal skills and is consistent with their own personal development, which is a powerful adult sound power ballad. 5) Everyone (the back of backstreet) (1998)

Although this song was included in the band's first two albums, "Everyone (Back Street)" was skillfully used as the follow-up single of the band's first hit song. In this context, this is great. In this perfect midtempo pop song, the voice of the group is full of victory and confidence.

Wang Xiaofeng, a famous music critic, once said: When a revolutionary music appears, countless people will join the revolution. Such examples are not uncommon. In the 1990s, Grunge became popular, and in a flash, substitutes appeared all over the United States. Spice girls combine personality with pop music, so there are countless personality combinations. This is a very common phenomenon in the recording industry. Whenever a cloud rains, countless such clouds will flock to it and it will rain cats and dogs.

Therefore, when Five, A 1 and Westlife are squeezed into the same record stand at the same time, the choices of fans are not only enriched, but also a wonderful feast is arranged for the noisy media. And choose

along with

The pop music climate in Britain is always unpredictable, and Boyzone's direction is confused and overcast. Spice girls went from peak to bottom almost overnight. Now Westlife's fifth son has all the equipment that represents success. Popular songs, killer looks, huge sales figures and considerable fan base. In contrast, Five's hip-hop music seems to be more suitable for jumping Americans than "quiet" Britons.

Bryan, Shane, Nicky, Mark and Kian generously brought 19 songs to the fans this time! The number of songs alone is really worthy of fans. In; Folk song creation has cooled down. From My Love, What Makes a Man to Close Your Eyes and You Make Me Feel, some new attempts have been added to the album, such as Soledad with Latin flavor. For example, "when you look like that" is a disco dance with funk rhythm, which is very similar to Prince's "U Got the Look". That's a good idea. At least we know that Westlife can also make a pure beauty group. My Love is a romantic folk song, which uses many pianos and many stringed instruments to express a sweet and bitter emotion. According to Westlife, this song is not only a love song, but also contains their deep affection for their motherland. What makes a man? This is a very difficult multi-disciplinary and multi-angle problem, but Westlife gave boys a direction. Maybe it's a good song. If you are a folk lover of piano tone, please shake it gently and enjoy it. It is an honor and a pride to cooperate with big-name artists in the music industry. 'N Sync once cooperated with gloria estefan, the Latin diva, and Maria Kelly's successful cooperation with Westlife in Overcoming All Difficulties shows that Westlife has officially become one of the important brand products of BMG. This old song 1984 was written by Steve Mack, who added some fashionable disco styles from the 1970s to the original melody. I don't know what Mr Collins will think. "I have a Dream" is an adagio lyric song with lyrics reminiscent of some famous American poets henry wadsworth longfellow's masterpieces.

When people become popular, it will naturally cause some trouble. Confucius said, "Shoot a bird with a gun." . Some villains point out that Westlife always chooses to ship in the recession, which will make it easier to win the championship. We don't rule out the business skills of the wily BMG record company, but we should pay attention to that this distribution method is not a patent of BMG company, and it is suitable for all singers, groups and registered industrial companies with distribution ability. If their peers want, they can also release records to any singer at any time. When to release records is their own business.

Finally,

I want to grow old with you. Go away.

When you look like that (single remix) 17 love crime

08 evergreen tree 18 imaginary queen

09 our own world 19 angels (reward bad girls)

10 is loved

Westlife's third album.

"The Queen in My Heart" was optimistic before the release, but the result was not disappointing, and it rushed to the top of the British gold list with invincible momentum. Just like Westlife's moving love song, it is a slow lyric song, which uses simple guitar plucking to construct the main theme. Contrary to the passionate masculinity shown in Uptown Girl, The Queen of My Heart is a typical tenderness. Between the lines of the song, you can feel the true and innocent feelings of a teenager who is about to leave his lover, vividly showing the innocence and truth of love. Compared with American counterparts, Westlife dares to cover famous songs, from Season in the Sun to phil collins's Overcoming All Difficulties. This time, it's the turn of the four seasons, as a white performer of black music. Frankie Valli & Four Seasons was the most successful and influential singing group on the east coast of the United States before the Beatles invaded. The famous musician Steve Ballmer reinterpreted their Uptown Girl impeccably, and made its ranking reach 1. What is Westlife's skill? Perhaps, one more word is nonsense? Wonderful! It is quite unexpected that the album's song of the same name "Our Own World" became the champion. This song is not a lyrical style that they are good at, but it has an artistic conception of' 'N Sync's' Bye-bye'. Other songs are also very nice. After all, this album is the masterpiece of Steve Mack, Wayne Hector, Jorgen, Pell and David, and BMG invited max martin to be the producer. These people changed the form of adagio in the past for Xicheng, and added Swedish disco style to the songs, such as "Bop Bop Baby" in adagio style, and Xicheng sang in an orderly way. There is also a remixed version of When You Look Like That, and the music is definitely BSB and 'N Sync. Max martin added a lot of beats and ringtones to the original music.

There is no doubt that
