How can ‘I Rise’ can be a single if it’s not even on the standard edition of the album?
It is! The deluxe tracks aren't the last ones in the track listing. Extreme Occident and Looking for Mercy are the deluxe tracks.

Ok so why are worrying about iTunes . If Marian Carey’s last lead was No.1 worldwide and 2 in USA , I believe when numbers came out this sold 4 copies or something so obviously everything comes from Spotify and YouTube yes ??
Yeah, Mariah's single didn't make the Hot 100. iTunes was at its peak around the time of Hard Candy and MDNA.
I think in other countries where streaming counts less, iTunes is still important for the charts.

I don't understand anything about streaming and sales, but can M chart on BBHot 100?
It's unlikely this week. New music is normally released on Friday. By releasing Wednesday she got less than a half a week in. Streaming is the most important component nowadays are her streaming is modest out of the gate so far.
She has a better chance next week with a full seven days and the video coming out.

Yahoooo
Wasn't that in response to a question about how Mariah's single did? lol
-
is it like that for all shows (such as mariah) or just M?
She's playing a new, very small venue in Macau. That's part of the reason. If she were playing a normal sized arena I'm sure it would be more similar to the other Asian dates
-
I think Mexico would be awesome. She'll be fresh after the holidays and the Latin American crowds are always amazing.
-
It's exciting because she could do an acoustic version of basically any song! Secret would be a natural fit, but she could do almost anything
-
Yeah and one of the things about this tour is that, for the most part, the Rebel Heart tracks sound quite good among the classics. It's not like Ghosttown and Rebel Heart are huge letdows coming off Who's That Girl, they very much keep the quality at a high level. Same with LFL and La Isla Bonita.
-
Could it make it to 150million?
It certainly will. It's just a question of when. I would say it's on pace to crack 150 million around late November. 200 million in February or March
-
She plays down every project and aspect of that time, not only the album, so obviously it is either still too personally painful or at the least professionally inconvenient.
She uses Erotica a lot in past few years?
-
^The digital album/ticket promo, however, was not anywhere as successful as the last tour, which had both physical and digital. Plus, again, MDNA had that promo and was sold at venues.
The MDNA promo was a lot less effort for people. That was more of an opt-out vs. Rebel Heart's opt-in.
Plus it's 2015 y'all. The amount of people that are going to buy a CD at a concert are incredibly low. A vinyl would probably sell better as collector's item
-
6 months later and I'm still playing this on a regular basis.
This is the key to me! I play all her albums regularly for a maybe 3 or 4 months, but I listen to Rebel Heart way more 6 months than any of the recent albums.
-
Can I leave around 4 after work from nyc. Will I make it?
Driving? NJ during rush hour is the worst. Plus the Pope will literally be in in both Philly and NYC that day. Is the train a possibility? it would be quicker.
-
I felt fine at Barclay's. I was in the upper tier though
-
To be fair you can be a celeb AND a fan. Try to tell Kelly Ripa she's less of loon than all of us

It was everything tonight. Everything.

I like BBB but I'm not really dying for it to come back. IMO Erotica's most iconic songs are Erotica, Deeper and Deeper, and Rain, so that would make Rain the one that needs to come back (although she used it as an interlude on S&S so it hasn't been completely ignored). But as we all know, there are fewer spots for slow songs so it makes things tough.
Outside of those 3, we probably won't get anything from Erotica.
-
Wasn't a lot of the Sex book actually stills taken from video?
You mean the Erotica video? In that case it would be the opposite. A lot of the Erotica video is outtakes from the set of Sex (which was done first).
-
Yeah she's in a really tough place with the slow songs. She can't have too many so it's a tight selection. She must have simply felt that Heartbreak City/LDLHA fit better with the show, and it seems like a great performance, so I can't really fault the decision.

More reviews
Iconic NTP!

Honestly not really because I liked all of these songs before!
In terms of old songs, I have remembered/appreciated how good Who's That Girl and Love Don't Live Here Anymore are.

Lights went down at 9:50

I never noticed the excerpt from Erotica in LAV until tonight!

Sorry if it's my lack of sleep talking, but I'm seriously not impressed with this persons periscopefilming and the New York crowd talking and chatting instead of concentrating on the best show on earth!!
I don't think it says anything about the crowd as a whole. There was just literally one girl near him that seemed like the most annoying person who has ever lived lolz

From a pure money perspective, touring makes more money than music sales so this can't be called a bad commercial decision per se.
Even with the best decision making and team in the world, no 60-year-old woman is going to be churning out mainstream hits for a variety of (unfortunate) societal reasons.
