Cherish Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 I agree the days of Madonna having triple platinum albums in the U.S are over, but you might have thought HC would be doing better on the charts. Where did they go wrong? GITM was a poor choice for the 2nd single, or U.S radio won't play Madonna unless she's the backup vocal for Justin Timberlake & Timberland? I've little faith MILES AWAY will do much better than GITM! The best we can hope for is Madonna has a successful tour, and the first project she does for Live Nation is something far more innovative than generic R&B stuff.

Flip The Switch Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Yes. She planned this tour way before the launch of the album as always, and when the tour details surfaced she forgets about promotion, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOD Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Yes. She planned this tour way before the launch of the album as always, and when the tour details surfaced she forgets about promotion, etc. I agree.. she shot the project in the head way too soon. Unfortunately she released the album to support the tour and not the other way around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jamesshot Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 My big question is the upcoming compilation spanning her 25 years with WBR. Shouldn't we be hearing something about it by now? Some rumors at least? I wonder how well the compilation will do. Obviously WBR is more concerned with promoting it than HC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HolidayGuy Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 OF COURSE "Miles Away" won't do anything on the USA charts. Goes without saying. I would say that the bulk of HC sales have taken place- it's possible it could stabilize a little when the tour hits the USA. But, yah, it's not gonna seell a heap of a lot more. And, not many albums in general reach triple platinum status any longer, with album sales down as they are- just a handful. it seems. USA radio is not very open to a solo Madonna single these days.

Guest Nichu94 Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Not dead yet... In USA is almost dead, not in the rest of the world Still in top 10 in Europe Still in top 20 world Still in top 100 USA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franxisco66 Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Not dead, but sales are so low in summer as there are very few new releases.... The tour may help European sales but Miles Away I dont think it will. It is a wrong choice again. TBGO ahould have been chosen instead to support the tour, not because West, but just cause it is a better track Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe with a great high budget video (That she's not going to do) MA could have some chances to become a moderate hit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tir69 Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Actually HC is the third album most sold during the release of 2008 and nr 5 on the overall chart. The era is not ending cause another 2 singles ( at least one with physical release and another only radio and digital ) ,and the tour all around the globe. Probably in US Hard candy will finished around 700.000 copies before the end of the year but in the rest of the world HC has the chance to stay in top 20/30 for a long time thanks to the tour. For sure , and for a 1000 reasons , this is not Coadf era but this isn't a flop era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Bitch Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 I don't see the point in her making any more albums - if she's all about touring then she has enough in her canon to do a different show every two years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
