American Life did very well! 23million! I thought it was lower! Did huge channels like KIIS and z100 played it enough the first day it was out? Please, tell us your radio experiences the first days american life was out! After the first week they removed it from rotation?

I don't know if 23m peak is "very well"- that's 60m less than "Music." Of course, AL was not as radio-friendly as "Music."

AL spent just 3 weeks on Hot 100 Airplay. Like any track that doesn't last long on the charts, stations played AL, and then found that it didn't connect with the audience, and then dropped it.

It will be interesting to see if Warner weighs in the recurrent airplay in the choice of GH tracks. For example "Dress You Up", which is in the top twenty, far above "definite" hits like "Frozen" or even "Express Yourself"...

Nichu, I have some estimates for 1996-2000 (when applicable, Hot 100 Airplay peaks in parentheses):

You Must Love Me: 23 million (No. 25)

Don't Cry For Me Argentina: No. 5 (50 million+)

Frozen: 61 million (No. 7)

Ray of Light: 28 million (No. 25)

The Power of Good-Bye: 29 million (No. 26)- TPOG was ranked No. 45 on the first published all-encompassing Hot 100 Airplay (when urban, country, etc. were added to the panel)

Nothing Really Matters: 13 million

Beautful Stranger: 60 million (No. 11)

American Pie: 45 million (No. 23)

And, this week's info:

Beautiful Stranger: 60 million (No. 11) What a shame! It would have been a top 5 hit for sure!

As for Open Your Heart, I cannot believe that song is ahead of all the others singles of ''True Blue'' with more than 130 000 spins!

Here in Montreal, Madonna is very huge! The only singles I haven't heard on the radio are Everybody, Gambler, The Look Of Love, Spotlight, Oh Father, Dear Jessie, Bedtime Stories and Love Don't Live Here Anymore! I know, most of them are from Europe or Japan.

After 10 days, Hung Up had the most spins in Canada when it was released! It stays 12 weeks at top and her second biggest hit of Madonna in Canada is Secret. Surprisigly! 9 weeks at the top.

Anyway, thank you very much HolidayGuy! What you have done is great!

Thanks- with Mediabase now as it is (needing to log in), that's probably theend of the updates. Supposedly if the links for tracks had been saved, they still would have worked, but, of course, I didn't save all of those. hehe

If BStranger had been released as a CD single, no doubt it would have reached the top 5 on the Hot 100- possibly even a No. 1 contender. There were plans for it- on the Dance chart, it had a catalog number and everything; if there were no plans for a release, it would have been listed as "Promo," as "American Pie" was. The Austin Powers soundtrack was selling respectably, so it probably din't want to cut into that.

Why thank you, sir. That's a great start. :) My system can get awfully slow, and I recently deleted browsing history and such, so would have had no way to get them.

How about the following?

Burning Up

Angel

Dress You Up

True Blue

Who's That Girl

Causing a Commotion

Deeper and Deeper

Rain

I'll Remember

You Must Love Me

Don't Cry For Me Argentina

The Power of Good-Bye

What it Feels Like For a Girl

4 Minutes

Miles Away

Of all those, DYU, TB and IR are the only older titles to register any significant play. And, of course, 4M among recent.

Thank ya- perhaps Where's the Party, as well, since it occasionally registers a few spins.

Tracks like Physical Attraction, Spotlight, Oh Father, Bad Girl, Bedtime Story, Human Nature and Nothing Really Matters hardly ever register even a single play, so I guess we could do without those (unless you wanted to post those as well). Madonna Megamix had been, but as of late, not much.

CDE, thank you for all the links. Is is possible to get the remaining songs released to US radio to complete the catalog?

Hollywood

Love Profusion

Nothing Fails

Me Against The Music

Love Don't Live Here Anymore

Hanky Panky

Rescue Me

Fever (if available)

Thanks in advance.

lemi- "Fever" wasn't released to U.S. radio, just dance clubs (though I recall one local station spinning it a couple of times).

"Love Profusion" never had an official radio date, though, as we know, it was commercially released. However, even if WB did promote LP at radio, it likely wouldn't have mattered much.

Thanks again, CDE.

I feel so dumb, but anyway, do you know HolidayGuy if Madonna is getting pay for every single spin? How do it work really?

only songwriters gets royalties for the spind on radio. recently, a performing act was discussing at us parliament, to guarantee royalties for the performes of the song too. i don't know if it passed.

^They still work.

whoopie, yes, that is the GHV2 Megamix.

Danny, it's not that I get the airplay info- I do the research and compile a liting. I may be able to do something similar for Prince, to give ya an idea.
