This CD thing free with a ticket is only for the American market..

Really? 

Madame X albums in the UK are not ticket bundled?

You mean, BB 200? BB 200 is a combined Chart from physical/digital album sales, TEA and SEA. MX is predicted to top the BB 200 chart. 

We won’t see M’s single on BB Hot 100 anytime soon. 

Im afraid she won't chart on Hot 100 anymore unless she collaborates with Adele, Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, Ed Sheeran, Justin Bieber, Drake or Lil Nas.

Stream, stream, stream!

Keep streaming Madame X everyday until June 20 which is the cut off date..

The streams from June 14-20 are the most important and very crucial since they count on first-week equivalent album units.

thanks

But was Jonas Brothers bundled for their debut week ? They had a VERY STRONG 350k debut, and if that includes bundles, my guess is they will drop from this high number WAY down to the 70-80k mark for week 2. If it didn't include bundles, it still may drop enough to allow Madonna to get a #1.

I don't think Bruce Springsteen is going to be as competitive for the #1 slot as we all originally thought. 

Seems to be a battle for #1 between Madonna and Jonas Brother's 2nd week @ the top. 

Yes, Jonas Brothers was bundled for their debut week so I think they will have huge drop on the 2nd week. My prediction is 75-85 k equivalent album units

YES!!! 

 

EVERYONE MUST REDEEM THEIR COPIES!!

If we redeem the Madame X albums from June 14-20, will they count on first week sales? 

I mean if we redeem on June 18, then they ship the album on June 22, do they count at the time when we redeem it by email or the time that they ship the albums to us? 

Anyone can explain it? 

Thanks

Been streaming the album nonstop on Apple  

How do I do the individual songs? Make a playlist? Will that count for both the album and individual songs?

Yes, individual song streams will count both the album and song 

[STREAMING/SALES strategy and discussion]

Their prediction of Madame X :

75-95k for pure album sales 

80-100k for total consumption 

That means only 5k for streams (SEA) and digital sales (TEA) 

That's very LOW. 

Im afraid Jonas Brothers will have more streams than Madame X and higher total equivalent album units than Madame X. 

We don't want Jonas Brothers hinder Madame X from becoming Madonna's 9th no 1 album on Billboard 200 albums chart, do we? 

So please KEEP streaming Madame X everyday until June 20. 

Also please stream EACH songs of Madame X individually to make them chart on Hot 100. 

Thanks

Unfortunately Bruce has taken the first spot on German iTunes for the last 20 hours or so. I hope M can surpass him in streaming numbers.

Put your physicals aside and STREAM you guys!!!

Im afraid Bruce Springsteen Western Stars will sell more physical albums than Madame X in the US. 

So please, buy a physical copy album of Madame X before June 20 and keep streaming Madame X everyday.

Come on people from tUS buy albums! A lot of people have bought only deuxe version. I am not even from US and live in a country where we dont have iTunes but I have created US iTunes account and I have bought Deluxe and Standard edition to help the charts! It’s only 10$. Come on people!

Please buy a physical copy of Madame X at Target, Walmart or FYE since the ones that are on sale on those stores have different cover artwork than the Madame X albums that were redeemed from ticket bundles. It will add to your Collection. 

It's only $11, don't let Bruce Springsteen Western Stars or Jonas Brothers album hinder Madame X to debut at no 1 on Billboard 200 albums chart.

I saw very few copies at my local Target in the new music section. Hopefully that’s a good sign. Ultimately it’s not that important IMO, but it’s nice to see our Queen at the top. I’m streaming on Spotify pretty much all day long. 

Also please stream EACH songs of Madame X individually to make them chart on Hot 100 simultaneously. 

Thanks

They too have a ticket bundle

Because Jonas Brothers tour has many shows and the albums redeemed counted only on first week equivalent album units. 

I think on the second week, Jonas Brothers album will drop a lot

I predict their second week equivalent album units will be around 101-105k.

Streamings play significant and crucial factors on albums equivalent units and their position on Billboard 200 albums chart. 

Many of those R&B, rap, hip-hop acts' albums debut at no 1 on Billboard 200 mainly because of streamings. many of their albums only have little amount of traditional pure album sales. 

This week cycle (June 14-20), there is no album releases from big hip hop, acts. 

Madame X's competitions are only Bruce Springsteen and Jonas Brothers. 

I think Bruce Springsteen fans don't do much streamings, they prefer to buy the physical copies of Western Stars. 

I think Jonas Brothers album will be a threat for Madame X for hitting no. 1 since Jonas Brothers fans are mostly likely are teenagers who stream a lot. 

Please keep streaming Madame X album everyday and also EACH songs of it individually until June 20.

Stop being so overdramatic. If she ends at 2 or 3 it's not the end of the world. Her new album is praised everywhere, that's what really matters. 

Yes, it's not the end of the world

Her last no. 1 album was 7 years ago,

Im just kinda mad that Madame X happened to be released on June 14, having tough competition from Bruce Springsteen and Jonas Brothers. 

If Madame X had been released on May 24 or 31, it wouldve debuted easily at no. 1 on Billboard 200 albums chart.

I’m streaming streaming and streaming on Spotify premium and iTunes but got the CD for the quality of sound and insert too 

Please also stream EACH tracks of Madame X individually to make the tracks chart on Hot 100. 

Thanks

[STREAMING/SALES strategy and discussion]

Jonas Brothers first week equivalent album units is 405k, 351k of which were pure traditional album album sales. 

http://m.hitsdailydouble.com/sales_plus_streaming

Now I'm quote worried. 

Please stream Madame X a lot, everyday from June 14-20, 

Please also buy the physical copies of Madame X at physical stores (not online store), it's only around $11. 

Im afraid Bruce Springsteen Western Stars will sell more physical albums than Madame X 

Im afraid Jonas Brothers or Bruce Springsteen will hinder Madame X to debut at no 1 on Billboard 200 albums chart.

I had same question as above . Been told my albums coming in mail in the morning , I presume these all count ?? How come I’m getting it before release day . 

You redeemed the Madame X album right? 

Yes it will count as first-week sales. 

[“Crave” thread]

Please view "Crave" video on youtube everyday, many times to make Crave debut on Billboard Hot 100. 

"Bitch Im Madonna" debuted at no. 84 on Hot 100 in June 2015 mainly because of its youtube video view. 

We don't want Madame X to become the first Madonna album without any Hot 100 entry at all, do we? 

[iHeartRadio Icons Madonna Interview]

She should perform at Ellen or Jimmy Fallon 

[STREAMING/SALES strategy and discussion]

Since Lil Nas album "7" is only a digital album not physical copy album, could they just release it on June 14 without any prior official release date info before hand?
