As reported by markm on daily basis (used to be hourly), GMAYL flopped badly in UK.

And now MDNA is currently at #131 on UK iTunes album chart.

The worst part is 2 UK concert dates are still not sold out yet.

She's a joke!

I guess the British has officially abandoned her, love don't live here anymore!

Since there's NO love left, how can they give her all the lovin'?

THE SHOW IS OVER SAY GOODBYE!

MADONNA CAREER IN UK RIP.

Good for her! Record a better song next time not for the 4 year olds who listen to music.

This song is less chidish than a lot of the stuff artists release that become hits (I'm looking at you, Adele and Katy!).  At least she understands irony even if no one else got it.

Yeah just like with the American Life rap.

Yeah just like with the American Life rap.

Come on, you know Adele is appealing to the 16 year old girl who's boyfriend just "broke her heart."

And yeah, the American Life rap was irony... though it wasn't a smart choice for a single.

I see some Madonna fans use the word irony the same way Madonna does!

Oh I get it, it's the JUXTAPOSITION of a positive message in a song met with a negative reaction. Very clever of Madonna

IT'S TRUE THOUGH!!!  I'm not saying the song is that good, but it's not like it's some shitty song that's worse than most of the radio.  People just expect a Madonna single to be this giant thing that's better than everything else ever.

Yeah, every lead single (excluding You'll See) since Justify MY Love has been an incredible song.  It doesn't mean this song is terrible......

Maybe Madonna is trying to kill off her career so she can have her ANONYMINITY back

[GetUnconscious]

I don't understand this chart shit.

You'll See was an incredible song. As were all the lead singles before JML. It was American Life that was the party pooper.

[dollhouse]

She had enough sales for UK Top 10 hit without any promo. Those sales are just not counted towards the chart position. So I don't get how this is a flop in UK?

American Life is great!

I like You'll See, but it doesn't have this "epic" feel to it.  The lead singles in the 80s were great, but (excluding Like a Prayer and Everybody) weren't trend changers.  I guess AL wasn't a trend changer either but it was a really forward thinking, cutting edge sounding single.

Serious? To me its one of her most epic ballads, very dramatic. I wouldn't rate it as a classic Madonna hit lead single but it was definitely memorable. It's been covered by numerous artists too which indicates it made an impact.

American Life is not a bad track but not a strong lead single. Especially when you've got Music and Hung Up on either end.

[Drama_Boy]

Heads will roll at Interscope for this. The timing of the release was an atrocious fuck up. Her first single release signed to a new label.

This has been coming for a while. She's basically pissed off too many people in the UK. The backlash probably started around the divorce.
Then there was the debacle at S&S Wembley stadium show with sound issues, ticket prices, (£160 to sit at
the back of a stadium, the late finish leaving people with transport problems. Next was the S$S O2 Arena shows when she came on late and got booed. (I was there
she got booed and it was uncomfortable). Again people left the show late. The media and general public perceive her to be old, arrogant, self obsessed and
not acting age appropriately - young boy friends, her dress sense, to much surgery, fillers etc. To be honest I don't think the
Graham Norton interview did her any favours. Many people feel she reinforced what a lot of general public think, that she is
rude and bitchy. I have read comments where people think the interview came across as awkward and her body language was terrible.

She needs to do some serious damage control if she is going to win back a lot the fans she has lost.
