Titty Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Masterpiece is record of the week on Radio 2.. As you can see from the rest of the playlist the Radio 2 listeners are not very discerning.

Bill Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 What a mess. Not that this song doesn't deserve a single release (more than GMAYL and GGW). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoyToy Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Radio 2 sometimes chooses records that are not necessarily going to be singles Don't get your knickers in a twist girls,Great that an M track is getting some exposure here though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonski43 Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I love Radio 2 Yes, it great. Don't underestimate its power! Bigger than Radio 1 now. All very odd. I suppose it will be downloads only release but still, it could actually outperform the official singles! However, still there is nothing for me to buy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Crazy, but exciting, times.

Mightycomfort Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Radio 2 sometimes chooses records that are not necessarily going to be singles Don't get your knickers in a twist girls,Great that an M track is getting some exposure here though Yes radio 2 often chooses tracks that would appeal to its listeners . I really see this as a very positive thing that potentially will see greater sales of MDNA in the UK. Let's be really happy that a new song by Madonna from her new soon to be released album is getting massive exposure on one of Britain's top radio stations, I'll stick my neck out and say MDNA will top 100k in the uk in the first week and sell between 600k-900k this year.

HolidayGuy Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 So, will this be a promoted single or not? A sheet also says it's been added to the B-list across the Heart network. Hmm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if this is the power of the music stations - they're just going with the track they like and think is more appropriate. It may force the record company's hand to release something they want.

neutrocks Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I don't get the "mess" comments?? Why can't an album have as much maximized exposure as possible? Whether if this is something they were planing or not, it's all good, from my perspective. The more music people hear from the album, there is a better chance people will like it. Sounds like an eclectic record as it is, so it's nice to see the album trying to reach out to as many markets as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very impressed with the promotion of this album...they're trying new strategies and that's a good thing.The most important thing is to expose the music to as many people as possible,and that's exactly what's happening now.

AmericanLife95825 Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Interscope Records, an American record label owned by Universal Music Group, will be releasing Madonna’s new album in the US territory. — Back in September, Live Nation and Universal Music announced their collaboration and soon the rumours about Universal Music releasing Madonna’s 2012 album started. Now it’s official, Madonna’s upcoming album will be released in France by Polydor Records, a record label owned by Universal Music Group. Polydor is also the label for other artists such as Lady Gaga and Janet Jackson. Polydor France teased its followers on Twitter with the following tweet : A huge international artist will be releasing it’s upcoming album with Universal – Polydor in France. More info soon! Any ideas? Afterwards they confirmed who it was by posting a YouTube link to Madonna’s song “Frozen”. Stay tuned for more info… Read more: http://www.madonnarama.com/posts-en/2011/11/02/madonna-and-lady-gaga-share-the-same-record-company/#ixzz1nuhCBItj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markm Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 And while we're in British territory, let's spend a couple of words about "Masterpiece". News broke from BBC Radio2 earlier this week that the beautiful Madonna song from the "W.E." soundtrack and the MDNA album was named Record of the Week, which means that UK listeners were able to hear the song every day this week during the Ken Bruce and Alex Lester show, and was also added to the B list across the Heart Network nationwide. To shed some light over this news, MadonnaTribe can report that Polydor came up with the idea to release Masterpiece to the radio in the UK market after mainstream channels have expressed interest in the song because of its potential to attract a wider and "traditional" audience. The song will impact on April 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neutrocks Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 I agree... it's cool. I'm glad there is a market out there for the song. It'll be interesting to see if this slowly builds into a hit song for her over in the UK if not Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topdog Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Great news! Any Madonna music releases are welcome. Masterpiece will attract another type of audience for MDNA that GMAYL and GGW might not do. Fab news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightshade Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 I am not sure I understand this marketing campaign, but releasing "Masterpiece" to radio cannot hurt. It will also be nice for this little gem to get some attention. I still say it should've been a single for W.E. back in January/February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 So this will be considered a proper single then? A 2nd or 3rd since theres no news on a UK release for GGW yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
