Guest animalinstinct Posted May 10, 2019 Posted May 10, 2019 It’s a non mover at 33 on UK chart ‘sales’ Unfortunately her older fan base are not streaming enough!
Silverfox Posted May 11, 2019 Posted May 11, 2019 This just shows that despite being the biggest radio station in the UK, Radio 2 has no influencing power when it comes to singles. (Something we all knew). However, its support does help to build awareness and anticipation of the album, which is the real goal here. Still disappointed that Medellin wasn't a hit of some sort. It has all the ingredients of a summer smash if it could have cut through - and for me it's classic Madonna. I agree with @Kim though - would rather they ditched it now and moved on to Crave!

horn Posted May 11, 2019 Posted May 11, 2019 M team main focus is album sales. Single can't bring in much $$$$ these days
Guest express-yourself-1976 Posted May 11, 2019 Posted May 11, 2019 Has this been the longest gap between two albums? And is this strategy (releasing song by song over 2 months) better for Madonna than just dropping a wohle album in the night (like Beyonce)?

Better make the most of it as the gap may only get longer and longer the next decade after the deal is over and M focuses her priorities on other projects and kicking her foot up in simply casually enjoying life.

Isnt it a bad sign that she’s only #3 when every person gets their new song from the pre order? anyway, that’s why eurovision is so important and can help her sell a lot more albums

I think it’s utterly corrupt .its gone from being no.1 on iTunes in every country around the world which equates to no sales and no charting ( MDNA says hi ) to leaving your phone charging whilst playing YouTube ( Bitch I’m madonna says hi ) to having the highest streaming’s figures ( for This era) of her madonnas entire career ever , treble the amount of YouTube views then anything off Rebel heart ( except above mentioned) and this also equates to nothing and chart placing . before anyone says , stop worrying about charts and enjoy era can ANYONE explain how charts are run these days because I do not understand them one bit Edited May 11, 2019 by RyanAnth4
Creepy Insane Person Posted May 11, 2019 Posted May 11, 2019 The charts of the new singles shouldn't really matter as Madonna has now taken the approach of just focusing on getting the album selling. Any little buzz the singles have will just be a bonus, not an expectation, and is just used to promote the album.
Jeby Posted May 11, 2019 Posted May 11, 2019 Is this the first time Madonna did not release physical copies of a single? Or singles? That's the main thing her fans buy.

BIM didn't get a physical release apart from promo CDs. Technically, hey you and imagine were singles but didn't get a physical release. They were like promo singles.
RyanAnth4 Posted May 12, 2019 Posted May 12, 2019 So the answer remains charts are made up by execs or paid for by artists . Nobody can produce what makes No.1 over No. 8,999,874 in the charts . Fiiiiiiiiiiiiix

Looking at Slob's swallow which did nothing at the start, they forced it everywhere for months so you can make an average track happen if you're prepared to spend dollars and time. It was worth it for the slob as the film made half a billion but it's not worth that kind of money for an album. And M won't spend that kind of money to look 'successful' as she's nothing to prove. This campaign is working so much better than the last two.

It still didn't work for her. Maybe cos the single is SHIT?!

Jeby Posted May 13, 2019 Posted May 13, 2019 I am assuming that is from digital downloads? Tell me she won't chart higher if they are selling physical copies in HMV or the frigging Grocery stores or wherever they still sell CDs these days? I just feel like her larger demo is still the physical copies buying public.

Tying Elvis as the solo artist with the most number one albums ever would be a total treat, and another record that would be wonderful for her to hold.
yououghttavogue Posted May 14, 2019 Posted May 14, 2019 Her only chance of getting good singles chart positions would be if she released an undeniable, universally loved single like Hung Up or even 4 Minutes. Which she hasn't done in a decade. Whether you love or hate Medellin, you simply cant argue that its the stellar song she needed.

She could release Like a Prayer today and it would miss the top 100. Time to stop caring about the singles charts when it comes to Madonna.
