Boy bands like this are typically front-loaded in week #1, and then collapse heavily going into week #2. I would bet they drop off by 75-80% this second week. With Bruce having weak sales, I think the chart positions will go like this: 1 Madonna 2 Jonas Bros 3 Bruce Springsteen Madonna should get her 9th number one album on the Billboard 200 chart.

reQuiem4adream Posted June 18, 2019 Posted June 18, 2019 For those who haven't spent $5 on Amazon. The 13-track version is now $5 on Amazon https://amzn.to/2MMmndP This week only. Spread the word!
bb8977 Posted June 18, 2019 Posted June 18, 2019 I love Madonna and the album is truly great but a number one achieved only due to fans buying multiple copies and streaming endlessly doesn't equal success to me...

That's the fringes of her fanbase and EVERY major star has those diehard fans that do the same.

Agreed but when you take those sales into account along with roughly 50% of sales coming from ticket redemption it paints a very different picture...

Why are sales through ticket redemption somehow seen as less worthy than a flat sale done on a whim? First of all, you don't HAVE to choose "yes", secondly, most people that go to her shows are more likely to purchase her album anyways.

Supernatural Posted June 18, 2019 Posted June 18, 2019 At least it's us fans doing it. Some of these artists will go out and buy multiple of their own CD lol.
rocknrolla Posted June 18, 2019 Posted June 18, 2019 I see what you are saying I really like future and I rise but she really needs God control or I don't search I find for this, if she is going to highlight madame x

Because Madame X tour doesn't have that many shows (tickets) compared to MDNA tour or RH tour that's why the album redemption ticket bundles are not so many.

rocknrolla Posted June 19, 2019 Posted June 19, 2019 If you buy that box set, does it count as one sale, or is it one sale per each item?

I used to buy CDs and albums on iTunes but now I have an iTunes monthly membership $10 p/ month and Spotify to stream old stuff and new stuff. Only streaming Madame on both simultaneously at the moment.
poprock Posted June 19, 2019 Posted June 19, 2019 Does anyone know what Hoopla Digital is? It's a free music service offered by libraries in the US and Canada. Everytime someone borrows an item it costs around $2. Anyway, MX is featured as a new release and is currently #10 on the chart. Not sure if this contributes to any Billboard chart but at least it generates revenue for MX so Mercy can keep getting those expensive piano lessons lol

Now I only buy physical for Madonna, Tori, Garbage, Regina Spektor, reissues of classic albums that I love, and occasionally a newer artist I want to throw a sale towards like First Aid Kit or Janelle Monae.

Yep...may buy Prince Originals when it’s released but nothing else on the horizon. Digital copies from merch count only if they are downloaded or it doesn’t matter?
rocknrolla Posted June 19, 2019 Posted June 19, 2019 I would download just to be safe, but I don't think it matters

Milosc89 Posted June 19, 2019 Posted June 19, 2019 Just read on some facebook group the new prediction that Jonas Brother will have a huge drop of more than 80% in US this week so no need to worry about them Bruce is also a lot weaker in sales, so it looks like we have that #1
