Very comon for who? Rihanna? Theres a lot of artisst who buck the trend.

Of course they were bigger - they at least peaked 23 plus places higher than MA. Why did nt GITM flop? Surely that could have flopped too?

Kylie dragged 3 top 10 hits off the album, which sold way more than HC .

The difference between madonna and other artists in the Uk is that madonna has been invincible until 2008. So many of her songs hit top 10 and top 20 with so little airplayy.

A peak is a peak. So many artists have had to evolve and adapt to the peaks. Its not just Madonna who is disadvantaged.

^OK I'm sorry but you're repeating yourself way too many times and refuse to accept facts.

It's simply nonsense to believe songs like "One More Chance", "Another Suitcase In Another Hall" or "Love Profusion" were any bigger than "Miles Away" and would have made it into the top 20 if the chart had worked the same way back then as it is now. It's not like she promoted ANY of those songs either. In fact, the majority of Madonna's singles were only promoted by a video. It makes no sense to compare peaks of 1995 with 2008.

It's very common *now* that after 2 hits a 3rd or a 4th single would do badly, I even pointed out some red-hot acts of 2008 didn't even take an attempt to check if their later singles could do well, they chose to do a re-release instead, with new songs that previously were *not* available as a download!

So yes, it could have peaked higher if she promoted it or she at least made a video for it, but she didn't, so it was a flop, but the concept of "only getting hits from a Platinum certified album" is over and Madonna is not invincible to the changes of the charts and that has nothing to do with the supposed quality of her current music! Like the "physicals make a single peak high for at least a week" is gone now when the #1 physical single sells 2,000 copies, that doesn't even mess up the chart based on iTunes popularity.

Oh and "Miles Away" could have been successful on the back of the divorce is just as a weird fan/press wish as Kylie having a hit single because of cancer. The general public does not buy songs based on things like that. And yes, the single itself was pointless, blame that on an irrelevant record label, but it doesn't mean the "UK hates her" or "the song is crap".

MJ had over 45 singles charting in the Top 10,000. Thriller and Billie Jean even ended up in the Top 250. Everything adds up ... Madonna had over 250K in catalog sales as well!

Yes, the OCC compiles a Top 10.000 YE songs chart and a similar one for albums (although not as extensive).

they did a Top 10,000 Albums of the year too, sad that we will never see these "little" charts, i would love to get them, specially with sales info attached on every position :p
