Yes it would- im from Latin American- family and friends only listent to reggeton at parties- if the music has a consistent infectious beat people will want to listen to it many times and it will be a hit- if it has two big names like Madonna and Maluma. Latin America is not like the UK or US where a good party of the GP slags Madonna off. They like her- but if she doesnt have music theyll just put on in a party then they wont play it. Having Maluma wouldve helped. Im not saying she would get 300 million views like HP but more than it has for sure. The friends and family that listened to the song didnt connect to it because ive asked. But again, I love Medellin as it is. In a way it was a daring experiment on her part: the cynical GP thought she was trying to collaborate with someone popular to get a hit but then she also made a non conventional regetton song that is radio friendly for latin america. I think we fans love it because we know she made an AMAZING song and she collaborated with Maluma because he is great and they have good chemistry.
reQuiem4adream Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 I don’t think we did enough!!! Overall, Madame X’s debut sum of 95,000 equivalent album units is comprised of 90,000 in album sales, 1,000 in TEA units and 4,000 in SEA units. https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/8517120/madonna-madame-x-No1-debut-billboard-200-chart

rocknrolla Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 On the streaming, I guess Quavo/Swae Lae's fans didn't bother to check out the songs. Looks like Anitta's DID, particularly in Brazil. On the flip side, I didn't exactly run throught the above's back catalogue, either.

All those collaborations do is make her look desperate. Or they result in interesting new music ("Medellin" is fantastic and "Crave" is up there with the very best she's produced in the past decade, no question about it). To each their own...

Why would I have to apologize and be restrained? M15 is going to be a VERY intriguing chapter of her career. Her FIFTH decade in the game!

I agree . It's clear Madame X wasn't meant to chase chart success, despite the features, so I think Madonna is free to experiment. I'd pray for at least one more album from her and I hope she does continue to create fabulous works of musical art
Rebel Saviour Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 The Deluxe is holding at 39 on Us itunes. Yesterday on Amazon the standard was at 26 and the Deluxe at 40. Hopefully the album will stay in the top 40 of the Billboard 200 next week.

Now she's out of her record contract, I think it will happen but only after she's directed a couple of films and enough time has gone by for her to be interested again. I imagine another for four or five years.

Stevie Nicks, Marianne Faithful, and Blondie are examples of artists who got some of their best reviews when they were mid sixties to seventy. Madonna has so much left to give and never stops being creative.

Sad really. Legends don't have big stream numbers just like new starlets don't have big real sales. There's this gigantic gap that we'd better accept because it won't change.

We can't spend the whole day streaming on Spotify like teenagers.
