boy skeffington Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Madonna’s music is the ONLY music I have purchased this decade. That’s it. YouTube or streaming service for everything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CalinB Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Please keep on adding a comment or two to Medellin video today and tomorrow! And spend time liking comments please!!! It is very important. More people will discover the video after the Wednesday performance and we want to have new and old comments at the top for anyone viewing it for the first time that are positive. You can copy and paste some of mine old ones from Thursday/Friday since i have at least a hundred, you can recognize them by the amount of emojis used.

How come the digital sales are very low? Why do you keep posting the same thing over and over despite people already explaining it to you? For the 100th time, the once healthy digital sales market has eroded a lot over the years. Much less people buy digital songs nowadays. Most people consume their music now through streaming.

Frozenpower Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Do all streams in spotify count towards the overall sales of the album when it comes in June 14? I see that Springsteen's album is ahead in pre-orders in US iTunes, but I see he barely has streams in Spotify. I imagine that Madonna can still get a #1 if she continues with big streaming sales overall right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But streaming is likely to be quite low for both Madonna and Bruce, even though her's might be a bit higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CellarDweller Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Regarding streams and chart position, this is directly from Billboard magazine. Beginning with the first week of Nielsen’s third quarter of 2018 (sales and streaming week of June 29 to July 5, which will be reflected on Billboard charts dated July 14), plays on paid subscription-based services (such as Apple Music and Amazon Music) or on the paid subscription tiers of hybrid paid/ad-supported platforms (such as Spotify and SoundCloud) will be given more weight in chart calculations than plays on ad-supported services (such as YouTube) or on the non-paid tiers of hybrid paid/ad-supported services. Billboard will have multiple weighted tiers of streaming plays for the Hot 100, which take into account paid subscription streams (representing a full point value per play), ad-supported streams (representing a 2/3-point value per play) and programmed streams (representing a 1/2-point value per play). Those values are then applied to the chart’s formula alongside all-genre radio airplay and digital song sales data. Streaming remains the most dominant factor on the chart, followed by radio airplay and digital sales in descending order of significance.https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/8427967/billboard-changes-streaming-weighting-hot-100-billboard-200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 There was an article that stated Billboard was nowhere near it’s a prime and a mess as it is being run today. It’s a dated publication with compounded confusing algorithms. In addition I could care less what is on radio because I already know those pop 5 songs by heart. I am grateful to enjoy new music...not rehash, songbook, oldies as newbies shite but new music from a living legend that still gets the press she deserves. Hell with charts just give me the music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope her BBMAs performance really help with streams in general. I also think that the Eurovision performance will do wonders, I didn't know it reaches an audience of up to 183 million viewers! Do you know what other artists have performed in the contest in the past? And did it help at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frozenpower Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 By the way, she just posted on her IG a #medellinchachachachallenge. She will upload the best videos on her account. She's really trying!

The songs actually competing in the Eurovision Song Contest rarely become major pan-European hits, but some do, including the following: The interval acts are usually from the host country. The only time a major act with no relation to the host country did the interval act was in 2016, when Justin Timberlake debuted "Can't Stop the Feeling!" - it ended up becoming the biggest hit of his career.

Frozenpower Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 @Msig Thank you for the info and links! I read somewhere that Madonna will perform Like a Prayer. Maybe she will do that and then Medellin or another new song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanM Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Sorry, I didn't find the right topic but am I right that she didn't chart on Billboard Hot 100 at all? How is that possible. Even Taylor's new song debuted at 100, which was released on Friday, so I don't understand how is that possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frozenpower Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 (edited) Do you think that after the performance at BBMAs, Medellin will start picking up on radio or getting more US streams?

nicholasyund Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Most Madonna fans tend to buy the product as opposed to streaming it. Also from the last tour, most Madonna fans tend to be anywhere from 35-60. Granted there are younger fans too but we will never get TS like numbers with this album. What we will get is an amazing album that will stand the test of time by a true artist. Then in 30 years TS will attempt something similar with abysmal results. Because you can’t teach authenticity and originality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
