It's kinda bizarre that her team didn't release the God Control remixes last. Maybe the COVID-19 situation affected it? God Control would blast to #1 on the dance club play chart.

I totally agree with this release schedule, I think God Control was definitely the most powerful, make-a-statement incredible jam, and should've led the releases. Crave next, Medellin at start of summer, and Faz Gostoso would've lit up the Latino charts and dance clubs. I would've released Batuka and Dark Ballet videos in the fall/early winter, and the final single would've still been "I Don't Search I Find." I think this schedule would've given Madonna 5 #1 dance club hits, maybe 6.

Now that IDSIF has claimed the 50th #1 crown on the dance club play charts, does anyone know if she is releasing "God Control" as the 5th single to clubs officially? I sure as hell hope so! It would be a guaranteed 51st #1. If not, what a missed opportunity for such a phenomenal song.

1. Come Alive 2. I Don't Search I Find 3. Crave 4. God Control 5. Medellin 6. Batuka 7. Looking for Mercy 8. Extreme Occident 9. Future 10. Crazy 11. I Rise 12. Killers Who Are Partying 13. Faz Gostoso 14. Dark Ballet 15. Bitch I'm Loca

After several months of listening, these are the top 5 of my favorites now on the album: 5. Medellin 4. I Don't Search I Find 3. Extreme Occident 2. Crave 1. Come Alive

Will there be official remixes to God Control? I think it would most certainly hit the top spot on the Billboard Dance Club Play chart, if released. It's an incredible song!

My latest top 5: 5. Come Alive 4. Crazy 3. Extreme Occident 2. I Don't Search I Find 1. God Control

Ah, did it? I missed that announcement. OK, cool, no--I think I Rise definitely moves into the top slot next week then.

This is amazing news! Awesome. I bet Higher Love is #1 next wk and I Rise will then go #1, the following. If it does, it will be her 48th #1 on that chart! I am confident she will get to 50, since there *should* be 2 more dance releases from this album? Maybe 3!? So many could be released...lol

My latest top 5: 5. Crave 4. Crazy 3. Extreme Occident 2. Batuka 1. Come Alive And I couldn't help it, but I'll rank the rest too from the deluxe version, for me right now LOL: 6. God Control 7. I Don't Search I Find 8. Medellin 9. Looking for Mercy 10. I Rise 11. Bitch I'm Loca 12. Future 13. Faz Gostoso 14. Killers Who Are Partying 15. Dark Ballet - I actually am liking this one less and less over time. The only one on the album I feel this way about.

Yeah, if Crave were released roughly 2010 or earlier, it would've been a top 5 smash on the Billboard Hot 100, possibly even #1. It's such a hit, and stands out on the album because it is a true top 10 radio-friendly song.

Crave is up to #11 on the Billboard AC chart this week, for week ending Saturday, August 3rd. It rebounded from #13, after falling from #12 last week. Great news, keep it going to give her an AC top 10.

It's shameful and an embarrassment to "MTV." MTV is overall a joke anyway, these days. They are pretty much telling the world, that these are awards only to be handed out to those under 30 years old. LOL It makes me think there is a financial incentive package negotiated with the radio stations that play certain artist's music (almost always under 30), and then MTV nominating those artists for the VMAs, in turn. "Top 40" radio in 2019 really targets those listeners who are 12 to 20 years old, roughly. It's absolutely laughable that such a HUGE population segment that enjoys music is snubbed. Leaving so much $$ on the table. The music industry is truly too corporate and ageism is alive and well.

Dang it. I wonder if there will even be 3 official singles then off the album? Maybe Batuka or Come Alive? Hmm. Such an incredible album. Would be a shame to not shoot for another potential hit. Although at this point, pop radio won't play anyone over 35, really. LOL

Hmm. My understanding was Medellin was the first official single, then Crave was the second official single. I Rise, Future and Dark Ballet were just early "album tracks" available for people to download and stream to anticipate buying the album. But with God Control, maybe it's truly just another video to accompany an album track that will never be a single. But that would be a shame, it's so good! I could see Madonna having another 2 or 3 #1 dance/club play Billboard hits from this album.
