The Official UK Charts Thread

[Guest Danny86]

Madonna has had plenty of million selling albums in the UK - she is strong as a singles and albums artist. She was one of the few acts in the COADF era who managed to get all single releases into the top 10. Scissor sisters had a big lead single but the rest dived. i think even JT and Beyonce's final singlers probably missed the top 10.

COADF came with a good positive buzz - HC did not. COADF was released 5 years after her last commerical success. I have not bought the HC album and i would not even it it did the Kylie X £2 bargain bins. I just dont like the album. it reminds me of Nelly Furtado, Gwen Stefani, Fergie, Britney music - in fact I liked britney's last album and Piece of Me I prefer to any HC song except Miles Away maybe. the only other Madona album I disliked was BS. I love the flop that was American Life - some of the songs on it are true gems to me. many fans hate it because it under-performed (I wont call AL flop)

I do believe a significant amount of Madonna fans may have not bought the album because they did nt like it - i can put my hand up and say i am one of them. I know others who wont be buying it too. The album has alienated some fans - i doubt its attracted a new younger fanbase, sales speak otherwise.

I dont think Madonna has ever made the same kind of music - she has done vastly different styles of music - most of her dance songs are very distinct from one another. HC is a dance album with an urban flavour. i wish it would go past 600,000 in the UK but thats going to be a hard slog and wold need some good promo around XMAS time.

6 out of Madonna's 12 studio albums sold above 1 million, and only one of them reached 2 million, so I still say Madonna is not exactly an album act as say, Coldplay is.

The "4 singles in Top 10" argument is not exactly anything special as 90% of Madonna's singles went to the Top 10, her fanbase almost always ensures that. Of course with downloads, it's not going to happen anymore. COADF sold 900k in the back of "Hung Up" and Xmas sales, it's not like "Get Together" or "Jump" did anything for the album either. Still, you can't compare her singles performances to any of the artists you listed. It's just not the same.

As for alienating fans, well that happens with each album, no news there. Though I think it's disappointing that hardcore fans download and judge the record without buying it, I thought at least they keep the support.

Obviously it doesn't show in album sales (for reasons already stated), but "4 Minutes" definitely attracted a younger fanbase, who made the single sell 400k. You can't deny that. But if hardcore fans refuse to buy the CD, why blame the young iTunes generation if they cherry-pick the tracks?

COADF had the more positive buzz because of the "comeback" hype but there was no negative buzz for HC except on fan forums. As for not liking HC because it reminds you of all those singers, well that's your opinion, but I find it weird. Other than "Heartbeat" reminding me of Nelly Furtado, I never have any reminiscence of all those female singers while playing the album. I'm also not even sure why HC would alienate longtime fans, but oh well...

[promise to try]

she won't care if HC is Platinum or 4x Platinum in the UK.

I'm sure that she cares about it

[Queen Bitch]

but warners did everything in their powers to make sure everyone in the western world knew there was a new madonna album out. the hype was there

,

Examples?

if a killer single such as gi2m cannot even make it to the top5, there's no reason to believe why any other album track can revive this album's fortunes.

You really can't get to grip with how things have changed in the download age, can you

GI2M sold steadlily as an album only download for weeks, hit the top 10 the week it was out on physical, spent two weeks there and has thus far spent six weeks in the top 20; it also sent its parent album back into the top 10. That's a BONAFIDE HIT and has caught on beyond her core fanbase. American Life and Hollywood which both entered at number 2 and then PLUMMETED are fanbase only hits, with the loons buying on a week when there was little competition in terms of new releases. Furthermore, it's also on its way to outselling Sorry, a number 1 hit - COMPRENDE VOUS?

Agreed. I am personally not a big fan of GI2M but it IS a big hit in the UK. It sells steadily for weeks now and this is a big accomplishment.

Also, I returned recently in the US from Greece where I went to various vacation resorts, bars, clubs, etc. and GI2M was definitely the hit of the summer. They played it EVERYWHERE constantly and all the remixes. I'm sure this reflects the song's success in Europe in general. We shouldn't go by sales numbers and peak positions only because simply things have changed.

agree 100%

since now in Italy Give it to me didn't reaches nr 1 spot but is everywhere on the radio/disco/video/tv/reports and the album stay again in top five , this means success.

Funny thing is, UK radio failed to fully embrace it and those stations that did, soon dropped it. I guess this proves that radio play ain't everything in the UK - THANK GOD.

[fak]

the chart as changed now - things are not as dropping as fast as they do normally bar mcfly and the flop by kylie. american life should have stayed in the top 10 for a few weeks as it was a lead single but hollywood was probably born to plummet.

whoknows how jump and gt would have performed in the digital age as fans would have reacted differently too.

6 of madonna's albums sold over a million - 3 more came close. she is definitely an album and a singles act. barring HC and AL - 3 of the last 5 have sold over a million. she might not be very consistent but only 3 of her albums in the UK failed to go double platinum - 1 of them HC still has a chance but looks like it might not.

Radio did embrace GITM it hit no8 on the airplay charts and spent 2 weeks in the top 10 - in fact this was equal to how the single performed on the sales charts - hitting no7 and 2 weeks in the top 10.

GITM did quite well - it was top 20 without a release and without high airplay.

I wish Miles Aaway is released ASAP - by Madonna's standards its normally released 4 months after the last single - HU was released in Nov, Sorry very late Feb, GT July, Jump early Nov. Had the last 3 been on the charts forever thatw ould be different but its better to release a single after 3 months.

er, no, give it 2 me is definitely not a flop but neither is a big hit in the uk. in the digital age, most singles that manage to crack the top10 manage to gather a few more weeks within the top20, and give it 2 me is no exception. it's falling down smoothly the way most top10 or even top20 hits do so nowadays. what people fail to notice is that the second single off a new madonna album actually FAILED to enter the itunes top10 even for a day or two. this means the demographic that casually buys madonna's music are caring shit about her recent sound. it was exciting when justin and timbaland's teenage fans were downloading 4minutes, but it's not as exciting anymore as they wouldn't give a flying fuck about actin samewise for the granny's solo follow up. try to look at it however u want, the fact is give it 2 me underperformed in the uk.

madonna has always been an albums artist. her success in the singles chart usually impacts sales of her albums. still, her chart performance since mid 90s has proven she can produce million selling albums without having to deliver a quartet of top5 hits. in the past decade her studio albums usually get close to a million units sold even before a second single marks its presence. the fact that her most recent lead single managed to sell 400k but still failed to push the album even close to platinum staus speaks volumes of her incapability to appeal to either her loyal fanbase or the ordinary pop/rnb audience.

as for your experience in greece, well madge could record a song of her constantly farting and it would still be a huge hit over here. greece is hardly a canon in judging whether a madonna single is successful or not.

[Guest FuckBuddy]

Read above, a so called pop-dance album would not have sold loads more than HC anyway (even though HC is quite pop and dance, but not COADF enough for your taste, you probably meant). And thanks but no thanks, I'd rather have Madonna try out different genres once in a while to get new fans instead of doing the same kind of music to her aging fanbase as if she was Kylie Minogue. Besides, "4 Minutes" is one of her biggest US & UK hits, she's definitely not "alarmed" about anything. Not to mention that when Madonna is going to have a $250 million gross with the tour, she won't care if HC is Platinum or 4x Platinum in the UK.

funny u say that, cause i'm all for madge trying different genres, but then playin it safe is rather a case of selling out than pushing certain creative buttons, now is it.

u know, tour revenue is fine and all, but she'll need to get people buying her albums in order for her to remain relevant and for them to consider buying her tour tickets. unless she's eager to evolve to the female equivalent to the rolling stones, that is, which is hardly a good plan, i must say.

[Brisy_Boy]

Guys... common, so many singles can still come out... Tour is coming up... and it's just going to be the first Christmas for this album... don't expect it to sell in two or three months what other albums take 2 years to sell OK?

Record sales are already 17% lower than last year... and about 75% lower than in 2005! The Record Industry crise is REALLY HIGH. People are buying more singles again (in the form of downloads) and less albums. Don't expect this CD to sell as much as Confessions... and don't forget that 4 Minutes is heading to sell 2 million downloads in US already!!! Not sure how is it doing in UK right now as I've been a few weeks overloaded with work and out of Madonna numbers but it was doing pretty well too. Either "Miles Away", "The Beat Goes On" or "The Devil Wouldn't Recognize Me" could get to be huge hits and help the album to sell... though selling the songs seperatly is getting to be new form of selling music... again.

Be Happy with the Tour sales and Christmas sales that will surely come soon. Be Happy with the 2 TOP 10 Hit's this album already generated and hope it can get more TOP 10 Hits soon

[promise to try]

I know that you're going to tell me that is different, but I just want to kno w how much did Sorry sold in the UK, and how much is GI2Mselling.I'm just curious

Are you sure of that? I really doubt it. Sales are dropping about 10-15% a year. If it is true, I am shocked.

hard candy is back up to 65 and 67 on itunes and the immaculate collection has been popping in and out the lower reaches all week. wonder how many copies a top 10 itunes album sells compared to a top 20 or 40 etc?

You're over analyzing. There is not enough data from the digital era to make this kind of interpretations and the fact that it "failed" to reach the iTunes Top 10 doesn't mean much about the song's overall success. I think it is a big hit in Europe but it's not a massive hit because, simply, as a song it's not all that. IMO, Hard Candy's success or failure (depends how you see it) is a reflection of its quality as a record - not Madonna's popularity and ability to sell records.

Regarding my experience in Greece, maybe you're right. I got too carried away by the fact that the song was everywhere there compared to the monumental flop it is in the US. But it was really EVERYWHERE. At some point I said ENOUGH ALREADY!

Hafo's the expert but I think it's nearing 90k.

Yes, that would be about right.

Be good if someone in the know (funkydita, where are you?) would post exact figures.

[Guest tir69]

latest update some weeks ago was around 70.000

[Guest Hafo]

This is the latest estimate on GI2M, as per UK-Mix. It's around 4K higher than my estimate:

And also, UKMIx reports:

I make it that this week madonna has spent exactly 500 weeks in total in the top 40. Double celebration for her!

Mimi's "Bye Bye" had sporadic play- I think it had that 1 week where it zoomed to 18 and then plummeted. AIrplay doesn't seem to help Mimi's sales in the UK, anyhow.
