  1. Ok time for a bit of a reality check, she directed a movie that hardly anybody watched. As for her making $11 million from the Wembley show

    well I hope when Live Nation were counting up the money they felt pleased with themselves. They managed to alienate thousands of fan by selling

    full price tickets with shitty views that should never have been sold. Add to that the crap sound quality I would pretty much say people in the UK

    would be very wary about partying with their hard earned cash in a hurry. Its all very well for Live Nation to gloat about how much money a show has made but it leaves a nasty aftertaste with fans who feel they were ripped off with a sub standard show. If she is wise next time she she tours, she will skip Stadiums and play arenas and employ someone who knows something about sound quality.

    :clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap:

    Very true mate. Imagine you were a single mother, struggling to make money. Your bills and food prices have gone up because of the economic climate but you've managed to save up, treat yourself and see your favourite artist in concert. You've been looking forward to it for weeks but have to put up with TERRIBLE sound quality and SHITTY views. Then Madonna and Live Nation DENY anything's wrong, make you call their 0870 number to complain and then are REFUSED a refund.

    It is DISGUSTING the way they treated fans at Wembley. Which is why I'm not suprised if Madonna has lost at least a third of her British fanbase after this. I for one am glad Miles Away has barely made the Top 40. Until she pulls her finger out of her arse, many will feel the same way.

    END OF.

  2. And, I might echo the words of the lovable cultural commentator Paul Morley, someone else who speaks SENSE, shortly after the release of American Life, that Madonna needs the cultural equivalent of HRT to pull her out of this MESS.

    Luckily COAD saved her career, which was part ingenuity, part FLUKE.

    She might not be so lucky next-time round.

  3. QB, you're a very strange character. You seem to be genuinely delighted that for the first time *ever* a Madonna single is going to miss the UK Top 20. You were forced to eat your words when your dire predictions for the previous two singles failed to eventuate, but now it seems as though you're hell bent on blowing your own trumpet because you *finally* got it right.

    As for Kylie being guaranteed at least Top 15 for The One if it had been released physically, I doubt it - In My Arms barely made it to the Top 10, so the next release was never guaranteed anything. Perhaps your true colours are shining through now ;-)

    Please, Queen Bitch is one of the FEW that speaks with sense and intelligibility around here.

    I'm sorry but face facts. You can't excrete a steaming pile of turd and expect it to reach the upper echelons of the major music markets without any promotion or video. That's not how the business works. Would you expect to get a job if you didn't bother turning up for the interview? The DIRE chart placing of Miles Away is WELL DESERVED. And her UK fan base will unfortunately continue to dwindle if she continues to release such shit - and then have the AUDACITY to expect the British public to PAY to download/buy it, especially when money is tight.

    Hard Candy has been UNPROFITABLE since the release of GITM.

  4. Sarah who??

    Sarah? :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

    and Take That are idols i the UK... it is the first single, not the third, and has a video, and they will promote it. I dont know about the quality of it, and I dont want to know.

    TRUE.

    I do want her to be top 10, but even top 40 seems to be difficult.

    After 25 years, 62 Top Ten hits and 13 number one songs in the UK, who would have thought that ANYONE would say what you've just said. Truly remarkable that it's come to this.

  5. Beyonce still at 1

    Killers at 3 (around 2550 behind Beyonce)

    4M - 195

    Leona still at 1 (4k ahead of Dido)

    HC - 198

    But Now That's What I Call Music 71 (71????) is overall number one with 127,000.

    Ha ha, imagine if you were sad enough to collect every one. That's £710 you're never gonna get back... :lmao:

  6. im guessing all the benefit scrounging chavs of the uk had a bit of spare drug money this week for the n-dubz album :demonic:

    :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

    But seriously, usually the people who buy this type of music don't buy ALBUMS. This is quite remarkable. Usually these type of albums linger in the lower echelons of the Top Forty for one week and then disappear soon after.

    I really cannot believe that. I'm also shocked their latest "release" has five million views on You Tube, around the same as Beyonce's "Single Ladies".

    :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

  7. SALES....

    01 Dido 22.4k

    02 Leona Lewis 22k

    03 Stereophonics (17.3k)

    04 Nickelback (16.6k)

    05 N-Dubz (12.3k)

    :blink::wacko: at N fucking Dubz getting a TOP FIVE album.

    :blink::wacko: at Leona "re-release after TWO singles" being 400 copies behind a woman who's first two albums rank in the Top 20 biggest-selling albums of all time

    :blink::wacko: at Beyonce's album LIMPING IN at number EIGHT

    I used to predict the charts pretty well. Nowadays I am just lost...

  9. S&S might not go down in Madonna folklore as one of her greatest shows but the tour will interestingly remembered for a couple of things.

    1. The greatest number of technical fuck-ups since BAT. Sound issues, ticket refunds, roof collapsing... and those fucking screens. How many times have they played up now? Perhaps Guy has a voo-doo doll and is cursing her?

    2. The number of deviations from the original show. RIT and CT were pretty much standard from city-to-city whereas on this tour we've had a tribute to Obama, different request songs each night, a Pharrell performance and now Britney and Justin.

  10. Britney and Justin join Madonna on stage tomorrow?, LA Dodger Stadium?

    Oh my god! Britney, Justin and Madonna are performing together tomorrow!!!

    “In an unprecedented concert event, music superstars Madonna, Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears will appear on stage together in Los Angeles at Dodger Stadium Thursday night.

    Ryan Seacrest broke the news on 102.7 KIIS-FM Wednesday as much excitement for Madonna’s Sticky and Sweet concert tour grows in Southern California.

    “If Justin and Britney end up on that stage with her…I don’t know if I’ve ever seen anything quite like that before,” said Ryan as he spoke to afternoon DJ Boy Toy Jesse.”

  11. This is gonna TANK - I reckon she'll be relegated to the realms of acts who are big on the concert circuit with the new LiveNation deal - she'll have the odd hit single occasionally but the HC era has proved she's no longer relevant as a recording artist.

    :lmao: SO jaded. Love it! :lmao:

    P.S. If S&S gets an American broadcast, does anyone think any of the terrestrials will pick it up after the FLOP ratings of CT on Channel Four?
