I agree about the album cover. It looks cheap and just a little inappropriate for a woman who's nearly 50!
-
Yikes. Only 2.5 million worldwide after 3 months! The market is so weak. Who has the biggest selling album of the year so far?
-
I really hope WBR sticks with BGO as the 3rd single, which should garner some decent airplay and, hopefully, keep album sales steady. Add in the tour and maybe, just maybe we might see HC move back up the chart...
-
At the club where I work at, we've been given the green light to start playing Beat Goes On. So far, the only thing we have received is a WHITE label promo with 3 different versions. Does this mean this will be the 3rd single?
I certainly hope so. This is the only song that can garner enough airplay to let people know of a new song and make it into the Hot 100. This really should've been the follow up to 4M.

Next stop: 1000 spins!

The 1989 charts debates were just like that!
I collect album reviews and sales data comparisons since the LAP era:
that album was often labelled as a disappointment, there are many reviews
stating
"Ok, she tried to shock us with the first single and video, so the album went to no.1. Then she spent millions of dollars for the second video, but the song flopped (= it didn't catch the no.1 spot). Now we've got a third single and video, in which she tries to be sweet smiling among dolphins. But there's a fact: LAP is struggling to sell a half of what TB did, and Madonna lost her identity. USA has its new Madonna now: Paula Abdul. She sings better than Madonna, she dances better than her".
OMG! That's hilarious! True Blue sold almost 8 million and LAP did about 4.5 million. Paula can sing better than Madonna??? Sure, she can dance better. That was 1989/90. Fast forward to 1998/99. Madonna's ROL has sold 15-16 million and Paul Abdul is a has-been and sold zero albums (well, maybe a handful of copies of her first album...). LMAO!
-
Beat Goes On, though, is a sure hit in America, this I promise.
I agree completely! This should have been the 2nd single from HC. It's a great pop song as well and would do equally well, if not better, than 4M across Europe.
-
It's sad for me to say this but I really do hope that HC can scan 1 million.
-
It's not looking good...
-
I just hope she's managed to stay in the top 50 on Billboard.
-
Even Coldplay aren't going to reach the numbers they did with their last album. The wolrd economy is slowing and people have less money to spend.
-
It just pisses me off that Australia is not being included (so far). Our dollar is almost level with the US dollar now, so promoters can't use the weak dollar as an excuse anymore. AND it's been bloody 15 years since she last toured here. Godammit!
-
Excuse me, but where the hell is Music???
-
I hope she's not getting divorced. She's been married for almost 8 years now. It's nice to see a celebrity couple go the distance.
-
Could GI2M be top 20 by Sunday? And, again, is this based purely on one version only?
-
OK thanks!
Well then it's safe to say that if Bedtime Stories was released in the spring, it would have done the same as Hard Candy. Like Hard Candy would have done 400k already, if it was released in the fall, or a bit more.
But compare it to ROL, which was released around the same time, where the album had sold about 300k in just 2 weeks.
-
But none of them went Top 3. "Secret" is her lowest peaking lead-off single.
What are the total sales of Bedtime Stories? I thought it's between 300k and 400k?
I believe it's around 500k. I think it did about 400k over the holiday period.
-
Hopefully, she'll have enough this week for the album to pass 560k.
-
Didn't the same happen with Bedtime Stories? And it was released at the end of the year, so sales should have been way higher. Not to mention it didn't even manage to spawn a UK hit...
Not really. It did well initially and the bulk of its sales came from the holiday period. If I remember correctly, it was already certified platinum after a month. Anyway, "Bedtime Stories" spawned 4 top 10 hits, 2 of which went top 5.
-
^#19.
She must be so pissed off!
-
Give it 2 me up to 18 on UK itunes :vanitybonet:
That's great! Hopefully it can be in the top 20 come Sunday. Is this based on only 1 version at i-tunes only?
Hopefully, HC can start moving back up the chart. It so desperately needs to pass 300k in sales! How sad that a Madonna album has only sold 200k in the UK after 2 months!
-
Mariah's 2 songs plummet down the chart: LMAO
I guess I shouldn't laugh too much, the bitch's album is doing better than HC.
So, what's Bye Bye's peak on the Hot 100?
-
Is airplay for GI2M in the UK starting to pick up? And how many versions of the song are currently available on i-tunes?
-
Who has the biggest selling album of 2008 so far?

What a shame about Kylie's new one. I think it's a good single, especially the Freemason's remix. I would've liked to have owned the physical single.
