    'God Control' should have been the first single from Madame X

    I agree. None of the singles would have much longevity in today's charts world, so they could've gone with the best ones first.

    1. God Control in April, a statement song, but still dance friendly, setting up the album as something more than a pop album.

    2. Crave in May, radio friendly, nice earworm song, AC radios

    (perform these two on ESC + La Isla Bonita & Like a Prayer)

    3. Medellin in June, released on the same day as album, real summery vibe, perfect for album release + added exposure from Maluma, let it simmer a while with the general public while they drink coctails on the beach and shimmy their asses to this one.

    4. Faz Gostoso in August, grab that Latin hit and truly maximize the streaming potential it had

    During tour release Batuka, Dark Ballet as promo singles to keep the era alive (not like these video were much more than that).

     

    It's basically a better release schedule (IMHO of course, you're free to disagree) than what they did and all it's still with videos they filmed anyway (besides FZ). 

    I love this whole release strategy. Its on point.

    Release God Control with an amazing lyric video, perform it in Eurovision, then let that performance be “the video” for a couple of weeks then release the actual video. Controversy, etc.

    Crave.

    Then release Medellin upon album release (but produced with a consistent reggeton beat a la Bitch Im Loca) and everyone else the same, video etc.

    I would have then done Faz, then Dark Ballet and as a last single Batuka to end on an uplifiting tone with her singles.

    I dunno why Jump's vid gets such a bad rap hehehe I kinda like it a lot and it gave us wigdonna too, 😊 but yeah it's very simple , I do like the Japanese neons!

    I love it! I think its simple but interesting and great. Love the parkour aspect of it. I prefer it to Turn Up the radio or celebration which didnt seem like they had much thought put into them but are still fun. Somethings better than nothing!

    i'd personally love to see a video, but i don't think it will happen unless it's done on the cheap. maybe a live video? even "god control" with all the press only got a few million views. 

    Because its hard video to watch....

    If it had been just the song with a carefree video I am sure it would have gotten a few more.

    A video for any of the songs would be amazing- even if its a Jump Kinda of video, live from show or animation even....

    Same with me. I listened to it a lot but then went away and couldn't access my music and by the time I got back, I haven't felt the urge to listen to it. For me, I've not found those songs that make me want to keep listening. 

    On RH there's best night and inside out, MDNA had gang bang, I'm a sinner, I don't give a... But I've not found a song that's really grabbed me in this.

    Once again, it's a great album and I'll come back to it at some point, perhaps when the tour starts. 

    I havent listened to it as muc as the other albums even though i think its one of her best and i love it.

     

    i think it may have a little to do with the short promo which kept us engaged and going  back to songs and videos when videos or promo came on after. Im sure a lot of us will go back to it more when the tour starts

    Wishful thinking. Such a pity because it was a great performance. 

    Hmmm maybe, but if they released the met gala performance why wouldnt they release this which had a lot more preparation amd higher production value go into it plus they spent money to film it?

    Yes it is more generic than the rest of the tracks but it is fun and danceble. At parties people respond to it very well and I had friends going to the Anitta concert in milan and even though they are not big M fans they had insta videos of people dancing outside of the venue to it and then when Anitta performed it. I think it would fare better than Medellin because even though I like Medellin it is not traditional and it starts and stops a lot.

    I mean its an album track it has 6.5 million views on YouTube- they should capitalize on this to whatever extend possible and make it a single- this *might* not happen to M ever again with any other album track

    If you see good comments posted recently click the like button on those comments. It will push those up on top rated comments. Most people have top comments as their default setting anyway. 

    Its scary to see all those all of the sudden after what happened this week- these are not organic as you guys say- they are trolls and bots being directed from however way they organize and send them to "manufacture consent". But the more they do that- the more views- the more visibility for the video. This video will of course not change the situation but the more things that are out there promoting a discussion are needed. I am so proud of M for doing this song and video.
