alexis Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Hi, can you get me a question? The video is from Madonna and Maluma, so the video will also be appearing on his channel somehow? Even if he was sent by the Madonna channel? I noticed that after they put the name of Timbaland, Justin Timberlake the views of 4 Minutes increased considerably. Nowadays Maluma's name is more searched on YouTube than Justin's, so there's a big chance it's a video with over 100 million views, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metalissimo Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 are we only allowed to buy a song on iTunes 1 time only ? Can we buy Medelline more than 1 time on iTunes ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanAnth4 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 I think the only way to add sales iTunes wise is if remixes are released and buy them separately ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume all Madonna fans in the US already bought Medellin on iTunes on April 17, 18. If we are allowed to buy it on iTunes 1 time only, now after the video is released, we have to rely on general public (not Madonna fans) to buy it on iTunes to help it chart on Hot 100 next Monday.

Each purchase counts towards digital sales. So yah gift it to 20 or more friends if you want to. Each purchase is a separate download so please buy buy buy.

I have bought Medellin more than once because I am giving it to friends. I have never encountered being unable to buy a song more than once. It's cheap. Why don't you try it?

I'm thinking if all Madonna fans in the US can buy Medellin again on iTunes to increase the digital sales after the video release and Billboard MA performance Edited April 25, 2019 by metalissimo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Once you've purchased something, the only way to actually purchase it again (without gifting it) is to create multiple accounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BokuNo Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 (edited) Do not gift the song to anyone. It’s a waste of money because billboard has said that Apple doesn’t report those numbers to Nielsen! @Stephen is it possible to add this to the op since it might be something fans will try to do?

Also it counts towards physical sales in the digital sales. Chart or no chart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let fans gift the songs to their friends if they want to. Why are we stopping Madonna from selling more records or reaching new fans because it allegedly is not reported by itunes? Please everyone gift to whoever you can. It's digital sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
