Madonna :: Charts & Sales History

[browlowkid]

Lucky Star was the 5th physical single release from her debut album in the USA.

First there was the 12-inch for Everybody. 2nd was the 12-inch single for Burning Up. Third was Holiday with Lucky Star on the flip side of the 12 inch single. 4th was Borderline which was certified Gold in 1998.

Lucky Star just had a 7-inch vinyl single release. The Madonna album was in the Top 10 of the Billboard 200 when Lucky Star was in the Top 10 of the Hot 100. Lucky Star being Gold as a physical single is doubtful.

But, with SPS: 529,000

Eligible for Gold with the RIAA!

Thank you so much for these fantastic SPS figures! I am sorry might have not noticed, where are you getting from or are those just calculations? Would be great if we could have them for all her singles/good selling tracks! Once again thank you so much!

come thru legend. This week will be the toughest for all xmas songs bc the initial November hype is gone... and we are still too far removed from Xmas... but the week after... xmas songs will explode. I cannot wait to see what this song will do.

I hope it can reach 10-12 million streams after this year's run.

The physical single for Borderline was certified Gold 14 years after its release in 1998.

With SPS - 748,000.

500k SPS can be used towards a Platinum certification with the RIAA!

And...

Burning Up - 206,000

Mariah, Whitney and Michael Jackson have been certifying their Gold physical singles as Platinum using SPS.

500k Gold physical single
+ 500k SPS
= Platinum digital single certification

We'll see this coming up:

1,000,000 Platinum physical single
+ 1,000,000 SPS
= 2x Platinum digital certification

[MadNuno]

SPS are only for Digital sales + Streaming.
This means the physical single being certified gold is already at least over 500k (depending on when it was certified can be 1 million for gold).

So if SPS is over 500k and it already have over 500k from physical this means it can get a platinum as total is over 1 million.

I bet Madonna/Warner won't go with that. The above mentioned three (and many others also) and their record companies have bent over backwards over the years and bought their artists' all sorts of awards, certs, the "greatest" and the "best selling" this and that, trying to rewrite history at every given opportunity. Madonna is capable of many things but the one thing she won't do is adopt their strategy and inflate her record sales/streaming numbers. She knows it changes nothing and whether she is the most certified or 15th most certified - she's the GOAT.

[Instinct]

It’s not about “cheating”, though. A sale is a sale whether it’s digital or physical so what’s the issue in combining them?

That would be nice but I highly doubt it could happen. As it has been said here, the song had a decline last year, and it is underperforming again if compared to last year around this same period of time. Just to give a better picture, for the entire 2020 the song received around 1,2 million streams, so, if the song somehow catches up its performance from last year, it will barely surpass the 9 million mark until the end of this season.

Yes, anything could happen, but with the huge competition that xmas has become, I just can't see this happening for a song that not even all of her fans are aware of its existence.

Yes, in about 2 weeks and that is it for the year. Next year, we'll get The Look of Love, which will be the last one for quite some time, not including any new music. In regards to The Look Of Love, was that an official video that aired in 1987? If so, I believe that will be the last official video to hit 1 million or more views.

If this could somehow get playlisted after Mariah's song, it would do decently. Holiday playlists on Spotify are quite important.

I agree. Maybe Madonna could tweet about the song somehow and engage with it.

[browlowkid]

Any news on the performance of Justify My Love HD video? Wondering if there was a big increase in views, this HD upscale was quite anticipated

[UnapologeticKenny]

We don't have the daily views on Kworb for a while now, but I do believe it did something around 30/40 thousand views in its first 24 hours because it reached the 32 million views around the time they upgraded it, and now the video has 32.044.767.

Usually it gets 5/6 thousand views a day.

A couple reports came because of this post.
Please, leave this stan narrative aside.
Specially when the topic discussed, merging physical and digital sales for certifications, is legit and a common practice for every legacy artists lately that has nothing to do with all that…

[Shadowplay]

^ She could have done the same, and Warner probably will apply for it (in 2030). If not, that's only her and her team's fault.

An old digital sales figure that I have for Me Against The Music was 341,000 in 2012.

Spotify has it at 44,769,583.

YouTube has it at 45,877,273.

SPS: 511,000

Eligible for Gold with the RIAA!

But, Madonna is featured so if Britney's label ever did certify it, it would not count towards Madonna's total.

Features are not counted towards RIAA totals?
