But the song was getting a heap of love from the listening parties and I feel it’s continued from there. I think we might have a similar situation to BIM, the video and cameos were driving the popularity of the track up, but it was already popular and catchy to some of the public, I think the same might happen for Danceteria. It’s just we have for the visual & audio at same time. I think this song gets a lot of mixed reactions. Just look at the answers in the “Rank the songs” thread. And I agree with @strictmachine: I think people are curious of the cameos. Quote

From inside here I agree, but everyone I’ve spoken to in my friendship circle who are casuals, and the social media posts I’ve seen from the public (who are not big Madonna fans) do seem to rate it. In my opinion Madonna chose the right song to put all the cameos into. Quote
svperstar Posted June 15 Posted June 15 I feel like releasing this song w/ a full video the week before the album release would be the best scenario to get full attention on the album. It may not be everyone's favorite song, but like Bitch Im Madonna, it could be a viral magnet -- and thus create the best wave of hype leading into the launch of the record. Quote

vertigokane Posted June 16 Posted June 16 Listen to the snippet from the video loudly on some good speakers and you’ll see what a banging track this is. Quote

Even though the song isn't one of my favorites, it seems to be a hit with the public, so why not? I think this era will last longer with several promotional singles and related videos. Her team spent a lot on the film, so why not split up all the videos and release them? I'm still trying to imagine what she'll sing at the World Cup final. At this point, I wouldn't worry about which song she releases as a single, as they're all great songs. Danceteria is a stand alone... but if she follows a story with videos she could release the video and song of "Good for the soul" as a buzz next week. the media will talk about the laser pussys the last week before she releases the album (I could imagine there is more stuff like that in the whole video). And Danceteria will be THE Song at the world cup final in front of 1.2 billion people. The video is following too with this huge amount of cameos... ? Quote

Mr.Candy Posted June 19 Posted June 19 guys, you can tell me what you want.... MadonnaHQ is posting more and more Reels with the people dancing the "Danceteria"-Dance... its coincidence or they are preparing the next big single for next Friday??? Quote

Mr.Candy Posted June 19 Posted June 19 why "we" have the HQ when they dont see the hype on social media for this song? If they really release one or two weeks before the album release RML with a performance in front of 1.3 billion .... Jesus.... Quote

This would have been all locked in place before the WC began. Quote

Id imagine a full 2 weeks of rehearsals with Madonna herself will take place somewhere. Quote

This would have been all locked in place before the WC began. I got you and you are right. When we believe the people who went to the pre-listening party, Danceteria was THE stand-alone-banger. everyone went crazy. So this should be a first sign that this song has potential and can reach more people outside the bubble. I think Madonna and WB knew and know that this performance has an HUGE impact of the sales of the album. I mean, even she's singing all-time-classics, she's in a lot of minds again, the will google streaming or buy the album. could make easily + 100k. BUT if they chose a new song with hit-potential (stays after one time listening in your mind) and a great performance, this could easily make +500k. I ask ChatGPT about that too, haha: Quote The FIFA World Cup Final halftime show could significantly boost album sales — even if Madonna doesn't perform a new song. The reason is simple: these kinds of performances act like a massive global advertising campaign. Millions of viewers are reminded of the artist, then search for them on Spotify, YouTube, Apple Music, and other platforms, where they are also exposed to the current album. Potential impact on the album Small impact The performance is well received but not particularly viral. The album gets a short-term streaming boost. Around 10–20% increase compared to the baseline projection. Strong impact Great performance, extensive media coverage, and high social media engagement. Fans and former listeners check out the new album. Around 25–50% increase in album units. Major impact One of the most talked-about moments of the tournament. Clips go viral across multiple platforms. The album re-enters or climbs significantly on the charts. Around 50–100% increase in album units. Specifically for Confessions II Assuming a baseline of roughly 1 million worldwide album units, the projections could look like this: Scenario Worldwide Album Units No significant World Cup effect ~1.0 million Solid World Cup boost 1.2–1.5 million Very strong World Cup boost 1.5–2.0 million World Cup boost + hit single 2–3 million+ Timing is crucial The biggest benefit occurs if: the album is released shortly before the World Cup, deluxe editions or new singles are available, Warner launches an aggressive marketing push immediately after the performance. The World Cup Final is particularly valuable because its audience is far more international than most major entertainment events. Madonna has historically been a global artist, so a worldwide audience plays directly to her strengths. My current assessment Even if she performs only her classic hits, I would consider an additional 200,000–500,000 worldwide album units to be a realistic outcome from the halftime show alone. If the performance is exceptional and Confessions II is already benefiting from positive word of mouth, the World Cup appearance could be the difference between an album that sells 1 million units and one that reaches 1.5–2 million units worldwide. In that sense, the World Cup Final halftime show is likely the most powerful promotional opportunity Madonna has had since the Super Bowl XLVI halftime show. Quote

Hearing it full blast and watching the crowd go wild is amazing. Its got a gritty feel early 90s indie feel to it, the verses sound amazing leading it the infectious bridge and the chorus is an ear worm. I think it’s a clever track, love the build up to a thumping chorus! Quote
Geiger83 Posted June 24 Posted June 24 Ok, I was lukewarm to this track (snippet) but this remix is sensational Quote
luizotaviobarros Posted June 24 Posted June 24 This is screaming lead single. They'd be crazy not to release it when the album drops. And Motha seems to love it. And you know what, seeing Stuart singing along, having the time of his life, just makes me want to hug (among other things) him. Could there be a more perfect collaboration? Quote
