Thanks for posting. More Mirawis, as one of her more experimental collaborators, is a good thing. I think some of the AL tracks perhaps weren't varied enough from each other (think th tracks starting with the guitar licks), but that's not an issue on their MX collaborations.
-
jason, does this limited channel register in the airplay tracking?
-
Loving the clips talking about the songs. Thanks for the heads-up, y'all.
Is this the first time she's ever talked specifically about "I'll Remember"? (however brief) Re Steve Bra- she did mention him when talking about "Into the Groove," so I don't think saying Pat in the EY clip was intentional.
-
^Rebel Heart redemptions amounted to just ~ 10K in the first week, as just a few dates or so were on sale leading up through the album release. And, physical albums were not part of the redemption offer. MDNA, however, was another story.
-
^Nice observations. "Wash All Over Me" wouldn't be a bad track to mix in there, too.
The track is a great homage to "Vogue," Dita/Erotica and "Future Lovers."
-
The verses are stronger than the chorus, but I don't mind the chorus- all perfectly lovely.
-
Her streaming with new music can't compete with the younger, of-the-moment acts. Compared to acts who have been around for a similar length of time, her streaming numbers are pretty decent.
-
The week-long Ellen stint was three days of single RH-track performances, with the fourth day being a "Dress You Up" "performance" in bathrobes, was it? But the point is the same, in that that kinda stuff only does so much for her at this stage, especially post-first week.

Thanks for sharing/posting. Especially enjoyed the Vanity Fair interview. perfect response about haters- and very true.

Curly dark hair in the video, most likely?
-
This is in my MX top five- just adore it. I'd say it should be part of the standard edition, though the deluxe is probably the preferred version, so all good. Now, if it were the title track of the album and not on the standard, that would be a different story.
-
This initially was in my top 5 for MX, though it's slipped just below, even though I still quite enjoy it. Especially the accordion.
-
I don't see GC getting a radio push. But thankfully she did film a video for the track, as it's a standout on MX and in her career.
-
I think she likes doing well, but surely she realizes her commercial heyday, understandably, is long in the past (at least in terms of projects having long-term/sustaining success). Traditional promotion- which was limited throughout her career, overall, compared to others- will only do so much.
-
^And what good did it do for RH, really? That album was quite the anomaly in terms of album promotion compared to most of her output. (I think Ellen was four days- three days of single RH performances and one day of her and Ellen singing DYU in their robes lol)
Sh probably figures, especially in today's climate, any impact is going to be minimal. She has done a number of interviews. She's going to focus her energy on the MX show. It's also possible she may drop more videos before the start of the tour.

Something like that
Billboard didn't report on that stat, as far as I know, which means someone trolled the forums to do the article. I didn't click on it, but aren't Forbes writers contributors? That, or that sad excuse Roger Friedman put a word in.
-
Days after this week's charts were posted, Forbes now has an article on the album having the fourth-largest drop from No. 1 in history., Oy.
-
^It didn't show up in the main headlines on Google, so not sure.
-
Rebel- there also was that deplorable female who picked up on Friedman's inaccurate article and ran an article of her own, that was equally assinine. And I believe New York Post Page Six, unsurprisingly, followed suit. But, yes.
-
I finally listened to the three bonus tracks from the Euro deluxe edition. They're OK, though they don't wow like some of the others. Some nice sounds, though.
-
FreeMySoul- six CDs for three tickets? Hope you distributed some to others.
Picked up our shirts from the mail earlier this week (digital-album bundle).
-
Hopefully, one day, some understand how the charts work (for one, that they have nothing to do with perceived quality) and that M, at 60, and as a provocative, female act, is not going to linger/sustain like she did in her commercial heyday.
MX indeed goes down as a U.S. No. 1 album, in 2019, for Madonna.
-
Not sure if it was mentioned, but- this week's Entertainment Weekly Bullseye page featured M. Pictured right next to the center is a photo of the MX standard edition, with this text:
Congrats to Madame X for her IXth No. 1.
-
Not one of my MX favorites, though I like it more than when I first heard it performed at Eurovision (the sound was not good on that one).

Still GC for me, though many are worthy to take its place.
