Of course she will be number one, because on the week when the physical single is released, she will have loads of physical sales (they make artist like Kylie or Madonna go on top 10 even if they release a fart, simply because fans collect the 3 items) plus the digital sales that week.

Thats too bad. She had two N ones in UK with COAD and now she is going all Kylie. On the other hand HU, Sorry, GT, Jump were all better songs than 4 minutes and I must say AT LEAST FOR ME. I like 4 minutes but I ve got to add its too US sounding and I could understand if its not catching with the EU public.

I am so disappointed in 4M. Hope the album is better but if 4M succeeds in making her a massive success in the US again then perhaps it is worth it as a lead single.

I don't think I have ever been as underwhelmed by any other Madonna lead single.

i think it's already a given how the UK and some other EURO countries will react to 4MINUTES... not surprised why it's not dominating the downloads right now... but the hype close to the album release and the promo gigs and the physical release will shake things up...

I´m not disappointed with the song: I think that it would have worked really well on timbaland´s album, but I can´t hear madonna in the song, and is the second time that happens with madonna: the other time was when she sang with Prince inLove song, that was a pure prince song! and FM it´s a pure Timbaland song.But I´m sure HC will be a madonna album, not only a T&T album...

Yes, 4M is not my cup of tea but is ok and if I heard it on the radio by Justin it would grow on me but I would be very unlikely to download it. I agree, Madonna's voice should be more prominent. You can tell she has been involved in the production but it is definitely a Timbaland song. Of course Madonna has not always produced all her own work but this style is so different and so clearly Timbaland that it disappoints. She usually brings her own style more prominently to her recordings. American Life may not have been popular but it didn't disappoint me at all.

Her vocal delivery is also similar to MATM with Britney which is not a good thing but at least that was just a one off and not the lead single to a new Madonna album.

Expecting HC is much more "Madonna" and that this single means HC is a major success with new fans as well as old.

how likely or unlikely now is it looking that shell actually hit #1 in teh UK with this song :/?? Will it simply come down to the physical single being released?

I think its probs unlikely, if her downloads remain the same, she will need maybe 20,000 physicals, for total sales around 45k-50k, whihc would be enough for number 1, but with only 1 major retali outlet stocking singles and the internet , it might be hard to get to number 1, but if the video is amazing it has a fair shot x
