    Yas! Get these slave trader statues to fuck! I hear they're trying to pull Churchill's statue down too, who of course was a huge filthy racist despite what you might see on romanticised  propaganda shit like 'The Crown'. I'm sure there'll be one or two in here crying silent tears at the "cultural vandalism" though...

     

    Amazing! It baffles me that there are still some statues like these around , glad it went down and I hope it stays that way! 👏

    'God Control' should have been the first single from Madame X

    Yes, GMAYL was a top 10 in the US ... not sure which markets you’re talking about, but there was a deal for that song to be played hourly on the weekend of its release because of the Super Bowl. So, it made sense — while the idea of “payola” for her to have a hit is kinda repulsive to me, I can accept it in that instance, because it was an event weekend and it made sense for people to hear that song before the performance. The idea is less offensive to me, I guess, because most media in the US do a lot of stories related to the Super Bowl during that week, so ... it made sense for radio to be playing her a lot and talking about how she would be performing, etc. Feels organic to me, not forced/fake. 

    But, yes, that was her last radio hit in the US to my knowledge, and it was after she left Warner. Since then, it’s only gone down. Clearly the Warner machine knew how to help her on radio all over the world, and she completely lost that support network, sadly. On the other hand, with the edicts that happened from, say Radio 1 in the UK, it became clear age was going to be an insurmountable obstacle for her, anyway, so ... not sure if it would have mattered or not.

    well in the US, GMAYL was not really a radio hit, which is what I think he was asking about, the single got to #28 on BB's Radio songs chart and #24 on mainstream top40, but it hit the top 5 on the hot digital tracks chart and #6 on the hot digital songs chart, so people wanted and downloaded the track (over 100k the first week and over 150k the week after) sending it to the top 10 on the Hot 100, and radio only gave it a soft push for 2 weeks and then basically dropped it after the third

    Visited both Madrid and Barcelona during one trip. For whatever reason was more into the guys from Madrid. I also liked Madrid better as a city even though mostly everyone told me I would enjoy Barcelona better

    No matter what, the stereotype is mostly true about the handsome men.

    what's that? I've never been to Madrid 😢
