    Medellin was the obvious first single , why people think radio would touch such a political song is beyond me , Radio won't play a new Madonna song .She is way too old for radio , deal with it

    Radio didn't touch Medellin either. Whatever she released they would stay away.

    Even though I think God Control is the best song on the album, I don't think it represents the album at all. I also don't think it would have been a good 1st introduction to the album. Look what happened with American Life. But to be fair, it doesn't matter what was released. It would have gotten the same response.

    And this is the whole point. Why bother with releasing something that *COULD* maybe in some crazy situation go mainstream for a while, instead of just pushing the buttons like she did her whole career? The whole point of "but Medellin was the most accessible song" is moot because it's more evident than ever that mainstream just isn't there for her new music anymore. Release the goddamn statement tracks, art tracks, etc. Show that you're still that uncompromising ballsy artist you've always been that doesn't suck up and give a fuck. Continue writing the book on how pop works. That's all I'm saying.

    Love Medellin, but that is a great summer jam! She should have done God Control first!

    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).
