Madonna :: Charts & Sales History

[Zeph]

Beautiful Stranger wasn’t released in the US because they wanted to sell soundtrack for Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me. It definitely was a missed opportunity for a #1 smash. It was all over the radio and would’ve garnered even more airplay had it was available commercially. Also won M a Grammy, too.

[Angeman]

Shocked that Beautiful Stranger has more SPS than TPOG despite the later being a single from a proper album and had peaked higher.

Really? BS was a much bigger hit in the US. It got tons of radio play. Plus repeat showings of Austin Powers help promote the song. Frozen and Ray of Light have had a ton more promotion throughout the years.

[AlphaMale]

American Pie and Beautiful Stranger were massive hits, if only they had been released in the states, maybe she would have had two #1s

[thebigham]

TPOG sold 314,942 singles through the 11/28/99 chart. It did not have a maxi-single release which hurts its sales.

It peaked at #11 on the Hot 100. Maybe a maxi-single would have pushed it to #10?

[BodyShop]

^ Beautiful Stranger was an airplay only hit,never had a physical release stateside.
Along with American Pie (that wasn't commercially released in America either) ,those were two of the biggest missed opportunities of Madonna having not only 2 more top 10s but definitely top 5 hits... a shame.
As for The Power of Goodbye,it did get featured on a hit TV Serie back then called "Felicity",it didn't help much anyway...

[thebigham]

^BeuStr was an airplay only single in the USA.

[MadNuno]

Always thought that "Beautiful Stranger" had way better SPS. Does anyone knows if had any physical sales? Was it even released as a maxi-single in US or was just an airplay single?

"The Power of Goodbye" deserves justice. The song is so beautiful that should be feature on an hit serie or movie to get to gold. I was expecting around 200k and it's almost there so not far from what I expected.

Thanks you for all these updates! Can't wait for "Music"! She performed the song at Superbowl so I'm curious to know how it's doing so far on SPS.

P.S.: 20 videos are no longer included on Madonna's page at the Kworb site, but all videos are still on youtube... so yes, it is probably a bug and all videos will eventually come back. In case some people are curious, those 20 videos represent around 20.5 million total views but less than 25,000 monthly views.

[lovedeluxe]

I thought both would be a bit higher but I thought "Human Nature" would be quite higher as the song and beat are great.
I guess the song never make it to US radio properly and most people probably never even heard of it.
It's probably a sleeper future streaming hit in US.

In Europe the video is still played on VH1, MTV 90s and MCM Pop a few times a year (it also plays in some of "Madonna Hits" show that sometime plays on regular MTV).

It was ALWAYS on TV when I was a kid. Not sure why those two songs didn't do well here (in the US) after Take a Bow was such a massive hit. Human Nature is one of my favorite Madonna songs!
