Guest LikeAHugeMFan! Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Don't think anyone has posted top 5 singles with sales: 1 Estelle feat. Kanye West - American Boy 10.3k 2 Madonna - 4 Minutes 9.4k 3 Sam Sparro - Black and Gold 8.8k 4 September - Cry For You 7.5k - 55 copies ahead 5 Flo-Rida - Low 7.4k so, does Septembers current sales include BOTH download and physical? If so, then M is 100% gauranteed #1 next week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Bitch Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Mimi ain't had a number 1 album in the UK since 1995; she's had two in total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamTheater Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Sorry to break your bubble but with Stuart Price she was just following the trend of modern disco that was (and still is) very popular in Europe way before COAD. With Mirwais, well, even her core fans failed to see how amazing album American Life was (best lyrics and best melodies of her career) and that was partly her fault because the first single was really dreafull imo. That single started her problems with the american radio from which she hasn't recovered yet. 4M is a COLLABORATION. Madonna, Timbaland and Justin, they all bring something to the table. It's a great single and a great video. Why does she always have to start trends? You're just too bought on what her PR machines tells you that she starts trends when perhaps she doesn't. The last time you could say she started a trend was with Ray of Light but even by that time electronica was a pretty popular music genre. What Madonna does is make great pop records and sell millions of copies. 4M is no exception. I totally agree. I'm very happy that she worked with Timbaland, he is the best producer working today and it makes perfect sense. Her biggest hit of the 90s in the US was a collaboration with Babyface, that time's top producer. Perhaps 4M is not vintage Madonna but it's a good song and obviously it connects with the general public. I think its success will translate into excellent album sales.

Guest Danny86 Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 I didn't realise Usher's physical was so far away - Sparro is a club hit and such tracks always increase their sales on Saturdays - that's how that Make Love track managed to overtake American Life at the last minute. I didn't realise September was on physical this week - I hate that track. Sam had his physical out last week already, and got to #2 with only 1600 copies more than Madonna. September might overtake Sam by the weekend, but not Madonna or Estelle. Doubt we're gonna have an "American Life" situation again. That single had high initial numbers because of fans buying, but in the end it only sold 32,5k. "4 Minutes" is kept #1 on iTunes by the public and is having constant sales!

aeroco Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 It really is getting grating that the same people can't seem to accept that other people don't think the same things they do. Look in the mirror - you are the worst culprit for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently you didn't read all of my post. But you are certainly entitled to your opinion and I totally respect the fact that you don't like 4M. However, keep in mind there was nothing trend setting about Hung Up or the entire COADF record. Still I thought it was a great record, I enjoyed thoroughly and I supported it as much as I could because, after all, I love Madonna and I love what she does whether she sets trends or not.

Brisy_Boy Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 uhm, 4 MINUTES is leading in downloads, it is also the most pre-ordered single, so where is the worry coming from? To add just that it's the most pre-ordered single in it's 4 versions occupying the first 4 places on the charts and for 3 weeks already! So now people of UK: Buy the remixes seperatly and she will be #01 based on downloads alone!!! You can do it! I did my part to help next week ordering the 4 different versions of the physical single from UK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kangarooz Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Someones review on Amazon UK, HC is up to 17 now x (This person only gave it 1 star)! No Wonder HC still only has 3 stars when people put reviews like this lol ''This is just a review of the cover; Madonna, at your age, put it away missus. '' This person also gave HC only 1 star!! and said: ''How can you write a review for an article that is only released in a couple of weeks time? Beats me ... It might be good. Or crap .. '' Soo stupids! x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Queen Bitch Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Britney on the rise too I see, I doubt she'll make the top 10 though - it's a good track but nowhere near as catchy as the previous two singles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debord Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 The Britney album is back in the Top 40 though, so it's doing the job. I don't even think the Britney album is heavily discounted anywhere at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even think the Britney album is heavily discounted anywhere at the moment. Not trying to provoke a negative reaction, but I heard it was £5 again in Woolies. The remixes are giving Madonna an edge this week then if she has already overtaken Estelle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

debord Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Tomorrow's midweeks will be interesting - if her gap widens then it's pretty much in the bag as she's closed the gap in 3 days. If not then we won't really know til Sunday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
