Madonna :: Charts & Sales History

[britneyliam]

Sure,bc she's the queen here and we grow up knowing that

You’ve got good taste

[spiritboy]

Do IG stories count for charts in US? I mean i see LOTS of stories of snow with Frozen remix playing in the background. It could benefit greatly if it was counted.

[BodyShop]

For example, 2.54M views of her youtube views came from Brazil last week, only 1.01M views came from UK.

Sure,bc she's the queen here and we grow up knowing that

[Forreal]

And btw delegitimize Madonna being head of Whitney in streaming, counting the numbers of release it’s clutching at straws tbh.
M has ( at the moment) more streams than any other big female who debuted prior 1990, that u like it or not, end of .

is Madonna a streaming force in general?? she is NOT, and to deny that would be delusional……. But there is a certain sign of improvement lately, and as a fan it’s quite exciting to see.

[britneyliam]

Actually streams has nothing to do with the initial sales.
People paid for Madonna’s albums because she’s popular at that time and the music is good.
It also depended on whether they were willing and able to pay for that.

Whitney’s debut album sold 3 million copies more than her second album.
But her second album gets 500 million more streams than her debut album.

Streaming reflects how many people are listening to the artists.

For example, 2.54M views of her youtube views came from Brazil last week, only 1.01M views came from UK.

She sold 23 million albums and millions of singles(over 30 million records) in UK but only six million albums in Brazil.

How could you explain this? wowsignal14

Madonna was popular in Brazil during 80s and 90s, but the music market of Brazil was smaller than UK which resulted the lower sales comparing to UK.

In streaming era, Brazil will certainly overtake UK due to the larger population


Another case.

Mariah carey was popular in Asia during 90s, She sold 20 million records in Japan.
How many albums had she sold in Philippines?
Less than 1 million copies.

Last week 2.43M of her total Youtube views came from Philippines and only 475K views came from Japan.
I know youtube is not popular in Japan,even if we take into account other streaming platforms, streams in Japan still won't be 20 times as much as the streams in Philippines.

So stop wondering why madonna's streams are not good enough , she's doing decent on All platforms. That's enough.

Comparing Late Artists vs Alive and comparing Rock Male Artists to Female Pop Acts, yeah okay.

[Shadowplay]

…

1. Whitney died in 2012, Madonna is alive.
Whitney had “destroyed her image” big time before passing, same for George Michael, same for MJ, same for Amy.
They passed and are now able to chart their GHs better than her, they became legendary.
Madonna is still having fun on IG, better for her tbh. One day (I hope at 100) she will pass and start selling well on catalogue charts.

Oh Westen 2.0 version is back

the thread is a mess again

[castorino]

The problem with streaming is that it is for large part in the hands of a new generation of teenagers and 20-somethings who have only known the 2010s Madonna, with zero new hit songs and a lot of bad press and image mismanagement, so for the most part they are not willing to search and discover her catalogue on Spotify.

As for the Whitney comparison, you should also factor in her premature death, which in my opinion gives her a boost in post-mortem popularity . Still, I agree with wowsignal14's point that Madonna's streams could be so much better. We're talking about someone who was called "The Queen of Pop".

[music126]

Their main point is that Madonna's catalogue is doing poorly in all formats. The fact that Madonna and Whitney basically have the same streaming numbers on spotify is great for Whitney but bad for Madonna. If Madonna's catalogue had the same performance as Whitney (basically adjusted for the size of their respective catalogues), she would have 6.28 billion streams. Which is far from where she is. And that has to do with poor management but also Madonna's own behavior since about 2010 or so, particularly on social media, which has even repulsed longtime fans who stuck with her for decades.

This makes even less sense. I don't understand what some of you except with her streaming numbers.

[HardGrammy]

God Whitney Houston is no longer with us, dead artists do FAR better than alive ones. Rock artists do thousand times better than female acts. Let's not forget what Whitney's reputation was before she died. Madonna is doing fine, there's room for improvement and I am sure we all are aware of it, but to say she is doing poorly and being "destroyed" is surface level. Most of the streams stem from playlisting anyway, easy to playlist when some artists' careers rely on one or two hits than dozens like her.

I don't even understand the point wowsignal14 is trying to make.

Sure let's compare a female pop artist to male rock artists streams wise

Whitney to my knowledge is the only one who has better streams.

Not anymore. Her spotify managment is improving and she already ahead of Whitney.
If Warner do their job making sure more Madonna songs make the right playlists she will improve even more.
This remix project may be the key for a new generation discover Madonna songs.
