Guest animalinstinct Posted July 26, 2019 Posted July 26, 2019 Madame X falls out of the Top 100 this week in the UK But is 31 in sales

No single on the radio and the album seems understocked. No surprise.The shitty Interscope is not doing its job. Go back to Warner, Madame X !
HolidayGuy Posted July 26, 2019 Posted July 26, 2019 No label in the world is going to help in terms of streaming. And as far as album sales go, how many 60-plus-year-old females score hit singles on UK radio and see smashing album sales with new material? I just think the commercial potential for new Madonna music is pretty limited at this point.

Supply has been a constant issue.
HolidayGuy Posted July 26, 2019 Posted July 26, 2019 That may be the only issue that a label like WB could help with, though if people REALLY wanted it, there's always the digital avenue. Not sure how many people make on-the-spot CD purchases any longer.

Sure, but I guess Warner would at least stock the albums properly in stores, send a new single to radio, promote the album better. Bruce is older than Madonna but he's doing great because he's supported by a proper label.

Creepy Insane Person Posted July 27, 2019 Posted July 27, 2019 Maybe it’s hard to find the cd in store because it’s been constantly selling out and they have to order extra to cope with the demand?

trickyricky Posted July 28, 2019 Posted July 28, 2019 i just need to look at the best selling music in the uk to understand why madame x is not a massive hit ...its not commercial at all really madame even its most dancy song would not be touched by radio due to its subject ! it did better than mariah careys last effort so there is that lol

It's all about getting it and keeping it on playlists. Medellin would have been a hit - it was in the radio 2 playlist for several weeks, it was clearly a viral hit on Twitter but without a record company invested in keeping it in the charts, it went nowhere. Look at Beyonce's flop - a blind said she thought she could release it without working with the big players and look what happened. Slob's swallow did nothing on release then suddenly the record company preemption kicked in and that song is still hanging around despite the fact is terrible. Record companies seem more important than ever now.
RyanAnth4 Posted July 28, 2019 Posted July 28, 2019 Crave is top 10 on AC radio in USA , really don’t get why they couldn’t get this listed on bbc radio 2 . I understand we may be trying to sell a dead horse but was it Medellin and out ?!! I know there’s been 5 videos but I thought at least one push for a 2nd single would have happened

I find crave quite bland and RnB isn't a great choice for radio 2.
RyanAnth4 Posted July 29, 2019 Posted July 29, 2019 Looks like I’m mystic meg it seems Crave is going to radio on Friday and launching as 2nd single , in Europe at least . I think it has a chance of airplay

Guest dcbyebyebaby Posted July 29, 2019 Posted July 29, 2019 With M in full tour rehearsal mode I dont see how she could promote Crave in Europe. Its nice they are at least releasing something but Crave isnt particularly exciting. If radio has a hard time playing Madonna I dont see how Crave is going to make them rush to play it.
stevo208 Posted July 29, 2019 Posted July 29, 2019 Crave is the safest option to push at Radio if that's what they're doing. It's gorgeous, and a grower.
Guest animalinstinct Posted July 29, 2019 Posted July 29, 2019 I think they’re releasing it in a different way (obviously). Release all the promo singles and videos in this case before the album drops, then release the remixes etc in the same order. If I remember correctly, after Medellin we got I Rise, which has remixes now, then came Crave, which could possibly be the next proper single with remixes
