RH had similar figures on the first update back in 2015 so I'd say this is a fantastic result for her. We should be proud. At the end of the day sales really matter, not peaks. It sucks that she won't be number one but through her career there's always some shit blocking her. So, It's not the end of the world.
dollhouse Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 Bruce is HUGE at the moment in most Euro charts. Bruce will beat her in UK, Germany, France, Denmark, Sweden, Norway..maybe even Italy They picked the wrong release week
Nikki Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 does that mean she sold 20k so far already? that's good. bruce is getting a lot of hype for making a new album again. his last was a covers album. also, madonna should perform (if she's insecure, pre tape it or do easier songs, idk?) im sure the interview today will be fine, but interviews on graham Norton somehow never translate well. wouldve been better if she just performed a song

tasteinmen Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 With all those formats? I wonder if the web store numbers have been taken in to account?

Personally, I am happy with the no 2 and the 20K sales, it was clear that her chances in the UK were slim and I was prepared for the worst. I hope she gets the no 1 in the US and worldwide.
Mr Ciccone Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 For comparison: Albums released in 2019 that have sold 20k+ in the first 3 days of release:55.6k Lewis Capaldi36.5k Bruce Springsteen31.3k Ariana Grande30.9k P!nk25.3k Billie Eilish24.6k Tom Walker20.6k Madonna20.4k Jack Savoretti So her sales are not such a disaster in comparison.... UK album sales truly are the pits though!!!

No singing, no tv recording, nothing. Absolutely . This has to go down as the most pointless exercise opportunity ever . I was being sarcastic initially saying “so Madonna is arranging a ticketed event in a London theatre just for the hell of it “ and that’s exactly what she did . Like it beggars belief ??! It made ZERO sense
elijah Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 I never thought I d see the day when M is more popular in USA than UK. Well it seems that day has already come.

leeagainstthemusic Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 Tbh she’s given us amazing promo, done everything she can and an excellent album. Who cares what chart position it reaches? She’s a legend. Let’s just be thankful she’s continued to make new music for us all

And most of those other acts are some of the most bland, formulaic X-factor wailing shit that will be forgotten about in five years.
Apples388 Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 Why do I have a feeling her team has somehow fucked up and all the orders from her official store are not counted ? I just have an awful 'feeling'. Call it intuition.

I mean, I thought some of them came with mp3 downloads - they haven't even sent those links out! If they had, I'm sure we could have 'claimed' / downloaded them and would have known for sure that they're counted. Oh well, let's hope she stays at No. 2 come Friday and doesn't fall behind Bastille.

I got an email from her store on Friday to say there was a delay with dispatch due to an issue with customs, and they sent the download link. My brother received his clear vinyl today, so hopefully we all will by Thursday and these figures will give the album a boost.
Ciccone's Cheeks Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 Omfg so she may be 'bigger' in the US (better shot at #1) than *UK/Europe!?! What the actual fuq. Joking...kind of? Yup..not at ALL surprised this is happening her dopey 1998 era 'savvy' team (not every one but seems it's the 'same' group or is it mainly her record company) who keep botching her up! Album sales are dire and on almost ANY week she still had #s (in this market) to do a full worldwide #1 sweep (achem...like *Warner used to give her)! Sorry..but I knew Springsteen would be big trouble!
HolidayGuy Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 The Ghost- the album is not "free" with tickets in the USA- the amount is worked into the expensive prices.

zephyralexxx Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 Never thought we'll see the day when Bruce Springsteen is a threat to M. And to tell you the truth, I am sure that most of the M big haters are buying 1 copy or streaming Springsteen album to block M.
