It was even a bit funny, because they almost said 'you should all bow down to the Queen'. I live in Portugal This is awesome to hear. I'm Portuguese too, but live abroad, so it's great to hear my home country is giving M lots of love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim34 Posted May 3, 2019 Author Share Posted May 3, 2019 It's a bit strange in Germany. There seems to be little interest in Medellin. Doesn't make sense to me cause there are many songs with latin influences which are very succesful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CalinB Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 We are still weeks out from radio play in USA... can't wait to hear Crave on the radio!!! According to President of Maverick Music Greg Thompson: "To that end, “Crave” with Swae Lee will become the de facto pop radio single upon its release, with an official music video to soon follow. Meanwhile, “Medellín” -- which received a global television launch across Viacom networks in April -- will continue being pushed in Latin markets. The decision to lead with “Medellín” instead of “Crave” came down to the belief that it was “the signature track to the body of work, and the right place to start telling the story,” says Thompson. He adds, “I think we have a good shot to get a top five club record with some [‘Medellín’] remixes, and get that song into people’s spaces that they might not anticipate.” (Madonna has notched a record 57 top five-charting hits on Billboard’s Dance Club Songs chart.) https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/pop/8509948/madonna-madame-x-album-campaign-rollout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This explains why Medellín is getting absolutely no promo effort on U.S. radio. I was about to have a meltdown in the chart forum over the virtually nonexistent U.S. airplay for Medellín. For it to get literally just a few spins in a day out of several thousand radio stations in the country was baffling when her previous singles serviced to U.S. radio that flopped would get at least hundreds of spins around the country. I was wondering why Medellín never had the bare minimum done for it ... an add date wasn’t announced, programmers didn’t receive a promo single, no radio ads for it. They’re saving the radio payola $ for “Crave”! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madonna said herself in that Billboard interview that her album is a world album. I think she and her team are targeting markets that still are willing to play her on radio, and then going for others. As much as some say "Fuck the U.S.", we still know that getting a hit there still plays a huge role in a successful album. It's her home country, so it would be awesome if she could gain another hit there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
