DitaDolla Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 The result of Rebel Heart's 48-hour turnaround? The album preorder topped the iTunes charts in more than 40 countries -- including the United States, where three of the six released tracks entered Billboard's Hot Dance/Electronic Songschart dated Jan. 3, despite just two days of eligibility. To date, the six tracks have sold a combined 131,000 downloads, according to Nielsen Music, with preorders for Rebel Heart at a robust (considering the situation) 50,000 to 60,000, according to industry estimates. "We know that in today's world, having a top 10 album with no promotion is really hard," Oseary says. "It's pretty... exciting isn't the right word, but it's rewarding to see it so well-received."

datf Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 What do they mean by 48-hour turnaround? i think it meant that they released the 6 tracks on itunes 2 days after the first 12 tracks leaked in addition to the 2 already leaked.

Je5u5 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 What do they mean by 48-hour turnaround? She found out about the leaks and they had to arrange everything in 48 hours because the iTunes servers were shutting down. Or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtzlplk Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 with two more months to go... the pre-orders could accumulate to at least 150k copies alone of digital album... there is sure to be another spike of pre-orders once the next batch of songs are available and hopefully the Grammys promo...

elijah Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 ok so its comparable to MDNA... Lets hope she has a lot more preorders and sells a lot in the first week and beyond... I d like this album to be success so that she shuts some losers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I d like this album to be success so that she shuts some losers... it's actually more than that elijah... i think Nikki meant the 50k was for the entire duration of the pre-order period of MDNA... right now, the 50k-60k figure for RH is just up until press time... expect pre-order figures to pile up until the first week... but what is this about ONLY ONE SONG to be previewed next in Feb 10? bummer...

Mensch Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 yep, that's what i think so too now... bummer... can't they just at least identify the rest on Feb 10? I think that'll probably happen.

elijah Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 stupid to push it that far off... so the video would be out in time for the album launch? How would the people get familiar with the fact she has an album when there is no video or they ll rely on midnight chats on facebook?????????

dollhouse Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 "However, Madonna had to make sure the six songs were in finished form, so she holed up in her New York studio working on the final mixes into the wee hours of the morning of December 18. “There was no time to call any of the producers — nothing,” says Oseary. “Just her final mastering sessions.”" So Madonna mastered the 6 tracks all by herself? I this why there are sloppy edits on LFL and GT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtzlplk Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I think that'll probably happen. The tracklisting will appear do after all the promo begins, those that preorder it will know what they are getting. i hope so... i'll just click the pre-order button on Feb 10 if only Joan of Arc will appear... i was waiting to buy it again separately in case multiple songs get released again on Fen 10... So i think they are going back to their original plan of LFL release for Valentine's week and promo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I this why there are sloppy edits on LFL and GT? can you hear the sheet flipping in Ghosttown right before she sings the first line? there are also other noises in Ghosttown, sort of like vinyl album noises...

Mmmmm Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 And she had no Superbowl or any other real promo around this time. Yup I think it's impressive. Just imagine the promo on TV shows!! Grammy will help push more pre orders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtzlplk Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 They're intentional, my god was it officially declared to be intentional? because there are other technical issues... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moka Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I have a bad feeling about this... Video shoot for "late january", no Madonna in the Grammy performers list, and LFL release date for late February... I think we won't have anything at the beginning of February, everything will be later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Gark Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 who declared they are intentional? Vinyl album noises are always intentional. Have you heard the song? The "old movie" feel to it? It's clear they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollhouse Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I think the album could shift close to 100k on pre-orders alone. I expect close to another 100k for the first week, so close to 200k debut is not impossible. Remember no tour ticket bundle this time, I guess.
