Guest tassilo3001 Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 how high is the chance that ma will climb in the charts when I look at airplay it's climbing is airplay counting for the charts or just downloads and sales??? I think aiplay is good but the sales are very low Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexz Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 The Miles Away - EP is #98 on iTunes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
promise to try Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 It's interesting that airplay really took off this week. Radio will either drop it like a stone now that the single has underperformed, or digital sales might finally kick in and see the single stick around for a while or maybe even reach a new peak position. it will be really interesting to see what happens...anyway, where´s the album???? I mean, a top ten on the airplay chart should have helped...and,who knows, maybe the single will rise a little bit I´m surprised with Craig david, and with Coldplay! I though the first one would be a top 20 in albums, and the new ep/ album edition of Coldlay would be top ten! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carta you need a reality check. MA has been the 8th most played song in the last 7 days and yet only one remix has briefly troubled the lower reaches of the pop 100 on itunes in the last week. Nothing will make this turkey fly. There is one thing being positive but this is not the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonski43 Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Warner's were removing remix video versions of the single from youtube. You'd think they'd be grateful of the extra promotion. Big shame this single has tanked but the whole promotion of the album was lame. A friend of mine who is really into music didn't even know she had an album out shortly after its release. It doesn't stand a chance now. Madonna should have got herself onto TV shows like with COADF, even if she did stuff by satellite. I suppose she is just keeping a low profile from an interview point of view now. Still can't believe they didn't do a video. GOODBYE WARNERS. YOU SUCK!

Guest jammycab Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 This happened to Kylie as well The One - 36 I think the UK public are getting bored of the veterans like M, Kylie, Mariah etc. And they are being spoon fed what music they should like by the X Factor As proven by Ruth Lorenzo getting the boot while Eoghan is still in the running!

Braby Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 "Miles Away" is Madonna's 68th hit since her debut "Holiday" in 1984. She has made the top 40 on 67 of those occasions with only the import of "American Life" missing out, landing at #57 in 2003. "Miles Away" is easily her lowest charting single with other smaller hits like "Borderline" having peaked once at #56 in 1984 before re-entering and climbing to #2 in 1986. She has 13 #1 singles to her name and 725 weeks on chart placing her 4th in the all-time table. Cheers for that. Do you know the weeks for the Top 3 acts? Guessing it's Cliff, Beatles and Elvis? Or is Queen in there instead of Beatles? And maybe Madonna can re-release Miles Away in a few years in slightly-remixed form and see if it will get Top 10 like Borderline :lmao: Am I right in thinking (if we presume Miles Away is the final single from HC) that... - Hard Candy is the ONLY Madonna studio album to have only two Top Ten singles. - Along with Erotica, the ONLY Madonna studio album to have only one Top Five single. - The ONLY Madonna studio album to have only two videos.

Yes, although The One's airplay had gone three weeks before they released the digital version and there was no physical release. The most pointless single release ever.

There is one thing being positive but this is not the time. I was speculating. Is there anything wrong with that? I find it extremely odd that the 8th most played song in the country could only manage a #39 sales peak and all I did was speculate that if radio continues to play it to that extent, maybe it could stick around longer than people expect it to as more people hear it. Chances are they'll drop it like a hot potato given its performance on the singles chart, but you never know. If it moves to #38 next week, my speculation will prove to be 100% accurate and your "reality check" comments will look a bit silly. I'm not holding my breath, though. I repeat - what's wrong with speculating? It's not as though I was talking about it leaping into the Top 10, Top 20 or even the Top 30. I merely wondered whether it might actually have some legs and stick around for a little while. Reality check shmiality check. Did anyone expect it to leap into the Top 10 on the airplay chart this week? I doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know but if shehe based on UK chart comparing with Erotica (different era, different methodology) I am sure I can take out of UK methodology to get her out from the cocoon of negativity to determine Madonna's failure and future.

Yes, agree the airplay increase was totally unexpected but the only way MA could possibly climb is if the maxi CD was released. There was only the 2 track available last week. The current airplay has as you say, oddly, done nothing for the popularity of either the single or the album. I won't hold my breath either.

Where is she now? 7xP?! I was on the phone with a friend from London and he told me everyone is crazy with Lewis' new single 'Run'! no1 next week?

That lifts its 21 week career tally to a mighty 813,887 – but that’s way below the DVD’s startling first week sale of 3,124,459 copies, which was achieved with some massive discounting, with both Asda and Morrisons selling it for as little as £7. It helped lift video sales a huge 70.3% week-on-week to 10,873,154, some 33.18% above same week 2007 sales of 8,164,235. Abba’s Gold album also enjoys a Mamma Mia! related boost, its sales increasing by 93.4% week-on-week to 9,392 copies, as it climbs 67-63. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
