From movies to music, from variety shows to radio, the full prosperity of the entertainment industry has become the last mark of the twentieth century.
Among them, Hugo Lancaster and the glory he led to death are undoubtedly the most important and deepest imprints—none of them. From 1992 to 1999, Hugo used his own Talent and hard work handed in a perfect answer sheet. In the 1990s, this was the era of Hugo.

For a time, all the media’s discussions were very lively, and almost all possible objects were guessed again. Among them, Glory To Death and Gas-Brooks have become the most popular candidates, not only because these two are the most outstanding singers in the market in the past two years, but also because they represent the pinnacle of music influence today, and rock and country are also current The two types with the highest market penetration.
