    Hmm. My understanding was Medellin was the first official single, then Crave was the second official single. I Rise, Future and Dark Ballet were just early "album tracks" available for people to download and stream to anticipate buying the album. But with God Control, maybe it's truly just another video to accompany an album track that will never be a single. But that would be a shame, it's so good!

    I could see Madonna having another 2 or 3 #1 dance/club play Billboard hits from this album.

    Crave was the Facto single for Radios.

    Siegessäule, Berlin’s leading lgbtq magazine, reviewed Madame X. It’s not a major publication of course, but quite popular in Berlin. I was a bit worried, because they were very negativ about the last albums and have basically been rather hostile in the past. So to my surprise, they gave the album a stellar review. Calling it a Masterpiece and a true return to form. The Madonna magic is back. They actually reviewed each track  

    They basically split her career into three parts. Albums where she brilliantly combined risk and pop mainstream (LAP, ROL, Music, COADF), albums with which she went to far for the mainstream but were loved by the fans (Erotica, American Life), and albums that seemed defensive, trend chasing, trying to make up for lost grounds (BS, HC, MDNA, RH). Madame X won’t move the masses, but like Erotica and American Life, it’s an album that will ensure the love of her fans.

    I think that with her away from Warner's since 2012, Madonna has more leeway to be political and controversial, Warner's most definitely reigned her in when she was with them, because she was their Cash cow

    I mean Madonna has ALWAYS been a commercial artist, she's "pop", pop is commercial, the polar opposite of being a "cult artist", and Warner's spent a FORTUNE on PR campaigns for many of her albums, she was always expected to sell a certain amount of albums with them and generally she did, even her under performing albums with Warner's, Erotica and American Life were falsley called flops at 6-7 and 4-5 million units sold Worldwide, simply because she's a massive seller and those albums would be considered hits for virtually anyone else

     

    Her numbers from 1984-2009 were extraordinary from a commercial perspective

     

    Now she has ZERO fucks to give and maybe she has moved into more of a "cult" place like Bowie and Prince the majority of their careers, but she certainly wasn't in a cult place even 10 years ago, she was packaged, and she packaged herself, to appeal to the masses, with COADF she succeeded at appealing to the masses

     

    selling albums is not profitable anyway isnt it? The moneys on Touring and shes made a fortune aftet WB years of it

    Those who say she can't sing, or is "stiff" now do so because, psychologically it works. Trump does this as well. When you point something out about someone, even if it is completely wrong, you start looking for that even if you aren't aware. Saying Madonna dances "stiff" now makes everyone notice anything that might back that notion up. Trump called Jeb Bush "low energy" so every time he seemed low energy reinforced that view. This was used to perfection with Madonna and the "can't sing" narrative because anytime she gave an off performance, as everyone does, it seems true. 

     

    I love this post.

    Lets turn it around and say "stiff","cant sing", "out of shape" about Toilet, Kylie, Riri,Gaga, Beoince and others
