[4 Minutes USA Airplay: Mediabase (part 2)]

So does anyone know what type of promotion she'll be doing next week? So far I haven't heard anything yet. What shows will she be doing? Does she even plan to promote this album? I'm getting worry cause I haven't heard or seen anything when it comes to promotion

[4 Minutes USA Airplay: Mediabase (part 2)]

Told ya! Z100 NY 9@9 number 2 tonight! Wednesday April 23 2008

9. Shake It - Metro Station

8. Damaged - Danity Kane

7. Leavin - Jesse McCartney

6. Sexy Can I - Ray J

5. Love Is Gone - David Guetta (ft/ Chris Willis)

4. Forever - Chris Brown

3. Bleeding Love - Leona Lewis

2. 4 Minutes - Madonna

1. Lollipop - Lil Wayne

This is Great News. Too bad airplay hasn't climb up higher than it has. Hopefully more radio stations will play it more but I doubt they will. I don't know what their problem is with Madonna. They'll play other crappy songs "No Air" but they won't play 4Minutes, I just don't get it.

[US Chart Talk: 5/03/08 Charts]

According to 99% of the people here. No. BUT I AM HOLDING OUT HOPE!!!

(Bitch needs to start promo though. GET ON IT!)

Yeap that's true. Also, if you would've made a survey 5 weeks ago asking Madonna fans if she would be #1 on Itunes for this long and outsell Mariah's TMB 99.9% would've said HELL NO and now look how things have turned out. I still believe that anything is possible at this point. There are a lot of people that are interested in Madonna's music here in the US and not just her fans. I still hope that she can beat her own personal record of 420K, not sure about beating Mariah but I think she has a good chance. What I care the most is that she gets another #1 album and sells really good on the long run, hopefully over 3 million once every is said and done regardless of how much Mariah sells.

Um, of course not. Some of you need to get real.

M is not gonna outsell Mimi in the U.S.

LOL....talk about getting real. So has Janet sold over a million copies yet here in the US?

[Predict 1st week U.S. sales for HC!!!!!!]

I definitely under-predicted the opening week of 4 Minutes when I initially guessed 80,000 (I did later revise that guess to 180,000 -- and yes that was too low also). I was looking mostly at Hung Up -- which opened with just under 30k. I'll freely admit to being wrong about that one! But, in my defense, I was following market trends, and the overall digital market has gone up but not by 700% in just 2.5 years! 4 Minutes is definitely a much bigger hit than I would have ever guessed.

I could also be wrong about Hard Candy, I am just making guesses! But I would rather under-guess than over-guess. Pleasant surprises are always better than mild disappointments.

Yeah I understand your point, it's always better to be surprise than dissapointed but I just have a feeling that she has a very good chance of braking her best personal record, we'll just have to wait and see what happens. I also think that if she doesn't mess up her 3rd and 4th singles, she could very well scann over 2 million by the end of the year, I know I'm getting ahead of myself but so far the buzz has been pretty good for this CD.

[Madonna scores 13th #1 in UK]

I am so happy for Madonna right now. I'm still hopefull she can get to #1 here in the US aswell because she really deserves it. I'm buying all her remixes this coming week since I still haven't bought any yet. I started downloading Itunes the other day but my computer started acting up so I cancel it but will definately try this week. Does anyone know how many remixes are out there? and which one's are the best? thanks.

[Predict 1st week U.S. sales for HC!!!!!!]

Didnt you also say first week downloads for 4 MIN would only be 70,000?

Really though. It has to open bigger then Confessions in the US. It just has to.

It will be interesting to see what it does world wide though. Didnt Confessions sell 1.2 or 1.3 million its first week?

Bad Robot if the last statement that Skind made about your prediction is true than :p As much as I admire your opinion I do believe that Madonna has a pretty good chance at surpassing her personal best record but I really doubt she can surpass MuMu with 1st week sales. I guess time will tell for now we can only make predictions. But I also wasn't sure how many copies 4M would sell on it's first and was really pleasently surprise when the #'s first came out. And now I'm still surprise at how it's been doing on Itunes.

[The Official UK Charts Thread]

Honestly, QB, I like you and all but for once, just admit you're wrong and shut the fuck up because you're going on and on and you just sound like a fool.

First you predicted the song to flop, and it hasn't. Then you said Number 1 was impossible and now it looks like it's in the bag more or less, on downloads alone which is rather phenomenal.

So just stop finding things to moan about because it's making you look silly. Admit you were wrong and move on.

"4 Minutes" is a bona fide smash hit in the UK. End of.

[US Chart Talk: 4/26/08]

Can anyone tell me what are the top 10 best selling singles for this year.....just wondering if 4Minutes will have a chance of being a winner for single of the year of the Billboard music awards since they're awarded to the artist that sells the most single.
