Madame X - - UK Chart/General Promo Discussion

At some point she will revive her UK fanbase. Eurovision could have maybe been that moment but wasn't to be. It will need a greatest hits set at Glastonbury or something similar. -

But she does give a fuck - look how she celebrated being #1 in the US. She wants to be #1 everywhere. Appreciate what you're saying - she's not playing it safe or doing things purely to be liked and I'm loving that, but no one can pretend she didn't care if Eurovision went well or not. I think the Eurovision debacle still doesn't explain why there weren't any musical performances on TV. For any pre-recorded show, she can always do another take. She did Ghosttown a couple of times on Jonathan Ross. But the cancellation of Madonna at the BBC, if true, does explain it. And that's actually q -

Totally agree with all of this. I was so excited about the album release last week but various things happening meant I couldn't really take it in. A week later, I'm really appreciating it. It's still a honeymoon period for me so I don't know where I'll rank it in future, but I know it will stand the test of time. Weird that it covers so many styles but feels like such a complete album. -
STREAMING/SALES strategy and discussion
Silverfox replied to Stephen's topic in ARCHIVE - The MADAME X Forum
Agree with this. The album campaign has consistently delivered over 2 months. I can't really fault it. They did lots of things right and in terms of streaming, it made sense to release the songs they did first. I'm surprised those songs didn't perform better and I'm shocked at the low views for the Crave video but no one can say it's been a bad roll out. Eurovision was a disappointment as we all know what incredible performances she delivers and this was the right time to remind the general public of that. But, that has already been discussed. We're moving into an era where stats me -
"Finally enough love" is an incredible lyric. Says everything in 3 words.

After looking forward to the album for so long, there were a few things going on last week which meant I couldn't properly take it in. This week has been so busy but I've really started to appreciate the album and love it. It's too early to compare to other albums (I loved Rebel Heart and still think 4 of the songs are some of her absolute best) but this album has that magic that is difficult to articulate. -

Kylie had three very radio friendly singles and focused her promotion on the UK, doing almost every TV show going. I've been a fan of Kylie on and off throughout her career. Didn't like her last album much at all but it was perfect radio 2 fodder and I can see why it did well. As a UK fan, I'm disappointed Madame X didn't get to no.1 as I've always been so proud of her chart success here, but if you'd asked me to choose a UK or US no.1, I would have said US - it's the biggest market and it adds to her tally there. I'm pleased for her. And to be fair, good on Bruce. I would have been -

Father's Day is a huge factor. People never know what to buy their dads so a Bruce album will have been the perfect choice. Although to be honest, I'm surprised he's ahead by so much. Regardless, sales of 20k are good for the UK. Frustrating that most other weeks she'd be on course for #1. Fingers crossed for #1 in US. -
Madonna @ Graham Norton show (June 14th)
Silverfox replied to Jairo's topic in ARCHIVE - The MADAME X Forum
It was a bit distracting but I liked that she made light of it at the beginning. That Temperley London dress she wore for press was stunning. That would have been cool. Anyone who doesn't follow @madonnaoutfits on Instagram should check it out -

That's lovely. The sort of thing that doesn't get recognised. -
Madonna @ Graham Norton show (June 14th)
Silverfox replied to Jairo's topic in ARCHIVE - The MADAME X Forum
Yes Cheryl was quite distant. Probably a bit embarrassed by her previous comments when Madonna was being very warm and friendly with her. Or maybe just unsure of what Madonna was going to say next. Madonna is such a huge star and we forget that puts everyone else on edge, so it instantly changes the dynamic when she is sharing the airtime with others. I noticed that Sheryl was the only one Madonna gave a kiss to. She shook hands with everyone else. -

A few people are saying the album has received mixed reviews but I don't agree. Almost all of the more respected publications have given 4 stars and a lot of the 3 star reviews have been positive. Maybe 'mixed' in that they are not all the same rating but it's not like the album is getting a load of negative reviews as well as the good ones. Q magazine used to spell out what its ratings meant and 3 stars was something like 'good but not for everybody' which I think sums this album up pretty well - although I would give it 4 stars myself, nudging 5. I think her problem sometimes is t -
Madonna @ Graham Norton show (June 14th)
Silverfox replied to Jairo's topic in ARCHIVE - The MADAME X Forum
Agree with this. I think the look put people off a bit but who cares. I never go on Twitter now for this reason - it's just people moaning, criticising and showing off. Still think the interaction with Ian Mckellen was awkward, maybe because they both felt they should be top billing, but the rest was fine. Just would have liked more Madonna time and a song would have been amazing. -

Me too. I wasn't expecting to love Come Alive as most of the reviews, from what I remember, didn't pay it much attention but it's amazing.
