    I'm not an expert but I don't think it is likely??

    Because the number of views are less than the music videos last week (and it didn't chart then).

    Yeah, it certainly helps but doesn't mean she'll make the hot 100.

    Last week, she only had 1.5 days of the video but it got about 5.5m views in that time as the hype was high. It's now 15m, so it's gotten 9.5m this chart week (maybe it'll eek it out to 10m by midnight). Then the live performance has about 2m and will hopefully be at 2.5m by midnight. So combined, she's going up from 5.5m to 12.5m, which is great! But that still might not be enough.

    There is a subtle effect on her voice making it ‘future’ global, if not for that it could sit on RH as a ballad, doesn’t have a strong hook like ‘Ghosttown’ again ‘odd’ choice for a ‘single’ if it is an actual single, I feel but hope it doesn’t get lost amongst the heavy Medellín promo, I just can’t see this being the song with the drag queens video!!! Perhaps I am wrong an it may be the second single.

    Apparently Crave is the second single and has the video with the drag queens. So I Rise would be a third single or not a single at all. 

  3. Fun! I am a bit surprised. Based on the press release, I was expecting I Rise or Future and I know some had their theories about Killers Who Are Partying. 

    I wonder who produced it? Basically, half the album was written with Mirwais and half with Starrah and this is from the Starrah half but that doesn't mean that Mirwais didn't produce it.

    Sorry if this was posted before but what time on Friday for "I rise" will it be at noon?

    Nothing confirmed, but I would actually think midnight Thursday night since these promo releases just usually go up at midnight v. Medellin which was a special premiere.

    It hasn’t gotten any sort of boost. You don’t believe that if his fans listened it would have at the very least charted at #99 on the billboard charts...or maybe the video would have over 20 million views by now...his videos have 100’s of millions of views...idk I guess we DONT know but it doesn’t add up. 

    I mean Maluma himself has produced only two Hot 100 hits, charting at #48 and #87. The first single from his latest project hasn't made the top 100. So I don't think it's that Maluma's fans are ignoring it. We live in a strange chart era where it's possible for a song to get hundreds of millions of streams but still miss the top 100 if those streams aren't concentrated into particular weeks.

    Do all streams in spotify count towards the overall sales of the album when it comes in June 14? I see that Springsteen's album is ahead in pre-orders in US iTunes, but I see he barely has streams in Spotify. I imagine that Madonna can still get a #1 if she continues with big streaming sales overall right?

    I don't believe streams before the album is released will count. Once it is released, yes they will. But streaming is likely to be quite low for both Madonna and Bruce, even though her's might be a bit higher.

    Do we even know for certain that this song is being pre-released or did a rumor somehow become fact?

    It was revealed through some sort of glitch on iTunes when the album was put up for pre-order. A similar glitch revealed the album tracklisting and ended up being accurate.

    So it seems like it was the plan at least as of 1.5 weeks ago (I Rise- May 3, Crave- May 10, Future- May 17, Dark Ballet- June7)

    Pretty sure this one will be "Killers who are partying" to accompany the music video with the drags! 🙂

    Anything is possible, but it would be sort of odd for her to release a gay anthem AND have a video with drag queens but have them be for different songs. "Killers Who Are Partying" was also not mentioned in the album release press release while "I Rise" was and I Rise is getting a 7" vinyl single as a part of the album release. I think all signs point to I Rise being more than just a regular album track.

    It seems that Medellin is doing well in the UK so far. The song has been steady on iTunes, yesterday it was at #40 and now is #35. One of my friends from there told me she was listening to Madonna on the radio this morning. They are really playing the song.

    Also in other European countries like France and Germany is steady at #50, Italy #6 and Spain #17.

    The tough thing is streaming. For example, in the UK last week, Medellin was #32 in sales but then only #87 on the official chart (sales and streaming combined). It's really tough out there. But it's nice to seem the song getting some solid airplay and sales support in Europe.

    It depends on Madonna. If she releases I Rise on the 3, then we will move on with her to the new green prairies 

     

    Yeah, it depends on the reception. She's also supposed to release a new song May 10 and May 17, so it's not like all of them are getting the full treatment. My assumption is that they are all to tease the album. If one does significantly better than the others in terms of sales and streaming, perhaps that will get it chosen as a future single. But I would assume the second single is already chosen.

    No, it seems like iTunes had a slip of info but nothing confirmed, I find it odd since she’s too invested in Medellin promo and the live performance and then this Friday to post: oh and there’s a new song out now!! 

    Yeah, not official but this the same way the album tracklisting leaked out and that turned out to be right so I tend to believe it.

  12. The press release highlights Medellin, Dark Ballet, Future, and I Rise. 

    I Rise, Crave, Future, Dark Ballet are rumored to be the pre-album iTunes releases.

    Combined I think that makes it pretty clear Dark Ballet, Future, and I Rise are under single-consideration and/or likely to be album highlights. Seems interesting that Killers Who are Partying (which truly is an unusual title) is getting so much rumor mill attention.
