Madonna :: Charts & Sales History

[Angeman]

It was also released twice in UK and both times reached #02 - 1985 the original version and 1991 the TIC (Q sound remix). This certainly helped the single sales. Plus around Valentine's Day the track have a huge spike on streams everywhere. If they do any promo with the song on late January/early February this would hit 1 million in UK next year (it would only take a commercial using the song for a Valentine's Day campaign in UK to do the trick).

(Madonna doesn't have songwritting credits on this song so she probably prefers to promote songs that give her more money as "Like a Prayer", "La Isla Bonita" or "Vogue")

CFY could be her Valentines Day All I Want For Christmas Is You song . So much potential but we know Ms people will do nothing. It took them this long to even announce special editions of her albums.

[MadNuno]

Not sure, but I think it's Tom Petty's Free Fallin'. That one is over 400 Million streams

As he already died does that mean Madonna have the most streamed 1989 song from artists that are still alive?

CFY could be her Valentines Day All I Want For Christmas Is You song . So much potential but we know Ms people will do nothing. It took them this long to even announce special editions of her albums.

She is back with Warner now... they weren't very much interested in promoting her very much since she announced the move to Live Nation in 2007. Sure they promoted "Hard Candy" and "Celebration" to explore the "golden eggs QUEEN" the most but they didn't put too much effort in it as well. After that they just released those albums boxes so they would cash in on Superbowl.

Now it's different as Madonna will be recording new albums for them, her legacy work have a new contract and the Live Nation albums will be joining them as well as Madonna owns the masters recordings and it seems that Live Nation only have exclusivity until 2025.

Everything can happen! Madonna have so many songs and so many hits that they can even have one different song for special events every week if they really want to. They certainly will do what they can to cash in on Madonna (if even Elvis Presley releases new lyric videos for his classics like "I Can't Help Falling In Love" for Valentine Day). Even something like that, a lyric video for "Crazy for You" on Valentine's season, would help the songs streams a bit as YouTube view streams count as much as free Spotify streams in UK (and 100 streams are already 1 unit sold in UK, the lowest I know! In Germany you need 200 streams and in most countries you need 150 streams - In US you need 125 paid streams or 375 ad supported free streams).

Don't think so. Right Here Waiting is at 250 MM, and Richard Marx is still alive

But I think that both, Guns N' Roses and Bon Jovi, released some songs that year that could be over 300 MM as well. Not sure, though.

both of them released albums in 1988 so they dont count

Oh! So "Like a Prayer" is not even #02 for 1989 overall then.

[pablob]

Don't they? If a song was officially released one year after its parent album, I guess we could say that they are songs from the following year.
For instance, I consider La Isla Bonita a 1987 song, not 1986.
But I do agree that it's a grey area, and there could be opinions in both ways.

[raindrops]

does anyone know which is the most streamed song released in 1989? i think like a prayer was second (if you included double upload) the last time i checked

the top 5 (that i know but maybe there's more) at least is:

edit: forget one

Tom Petty - Free Fallin' 403,148,708
Mötley Crüe - Kickstart My Heart 309,419,563
Tina Turner - The Best 256,493,748
Richard Marx - Right Here Waiting 249,863,669
Madonna - Like A Prayer 248,643,841
Phil Collins - Another Day In Paradise 244,800,343

[Angeman]

Full disclosurse. I have no idea what that Motley Crue or Richard Marx songs are. No clue who Richard Marx is either. LAP is doing well especially since she has at least a dozen other major hits.

Phil Collins - Another Day In Paradise 244,800,343

Where have you seen those Mötley Crüe views? It says that have 39 million...
I also never heard of them or about that song.

Richard Marx song is a HUGE classic and still a favorite on Karoke nights.
The song still plays on the radio and on music channels like VH1 and MCM so it seems right. Hopefully
Madonna will step ahead of him soon as it seem she is having more daily views on her video now.
Another video they should upgrade to HD soon to boost views is "Like a Prayer".

That's not good! Playlists are responsible for over 85% of Spotify streams.
Madonna numbers will keep dropping unless Warner works on adding the tracks to playlists.
That's the most important marketing tool for streaming on music industry nowadays.

[madfan13]

Perhaps this is why her “monthly listeners” numbers on Spotify keep dropping rapidly. She’s gone from about 16,313,000 last week to 16,227,112 today.

I think she is ok, first, most of these happened months ago, it's not like all the songs listed were removed today, except for La Isla Bonita. Plus most of these songs have been steady in her top 10.
