Nice to see that her remixes in total give her a lot of streams!

Almost 1.5 million streams from "I Rise" remixes alone it's really kind of amazing.

Sure... comparing streaming equivalents with digigal songs with singles with maxi-singles with albums... it's all the same. Some cost $0.04 and some others cost $15.99 or even more (on wax may cost over $20) but who cares are all considered 1 unit each here.

That's how Madonna and Mariah are not at #01 and #02 there.

Frozen Remix added to “ultra gaming” playlist with 357,000 followers (7/100), among others such us Night Pop (110,000), Pop Music (197,000) and Volvieron Los Lentos (149,000)


Still nothing huge, but Ultra Gaming is the 4th biggest so far for a total of 8,7 million of potential listeners.

The so-called record sales which is absoulety a joke.

No need to argue if it is wrong to combine the albums and digital singles simply when ignoring the revenue theyhave made.

Streams is a sort of legitimate piracy.You rent the record and played it for free,and it count as sales units.
I mean,we have bought mimi's albums in 90s and palyed it for our own by thousand times.Why don't they count thoses plays as sales units?

How funny the rules are.
Streams can be count as units for certification purposes of both album and singles at the same time!
That's a fraud. There would be a so-called Diamond single without SELLING A COPY!
Revenue is the most important part of the industry,instead of Quantity.

US becomes the largest market because of the revenue instead of how many streams they provide.If they use the 150:1 ratio to India or China,local artists would have sold billions of units.

Industry has seen a downfall, we chart fans are being told that streams are sales when they aren't some people sat together and decided a streaming to album consumption ratio we are seeing a time when one big hit song can make your album go diamond in years it's pathetic. A 39 cent single which is often even more discounted by artists to chart is now being compared to physical singles or albums.

[Artoo]

I mean… either the industry uses streams as sales or the charts die. It’s as simple as that. Nothing is going to recover the charts and nothing will replace streaming - it is probably the last format for music consumption.

The issue with streaming is they’re trying to fit it into the existing model when the model itself needs to change - it’s a ‘most listened to’ chart and sales need to be converted to listens, not streams converted to sales.

But either way Madonna is screwed

I agree with you, streaming is the way to go I mean think about it we used to buy CDs even we wanted accessible things and streaming has made it possible but we all know streaming doesn't equal sales it's just an imaginary number given which is okay because pure sales are sad but comparing a 15$ CD to 3$ digital copy is not the same nor it'll ever be. Once you buy a CD = 1 Sale that it's now streaming keeps charts make look ridiculous I do understand times have changed but the comparison is sad.

[Shadowplay]

they should consider a physical sale as ten record units, at this point. one thing is buying a £30 LP (this is what I paid for “30” crystal clear vinyl, for the ltd vinyl of “Voyage”, or for the MX Cd+cassette+7” package), another thing is to stream Levitating after listening to it on TikTok

[MadNuno]

The proportion is wrong for charts but for certification purposes is even worst.

How can 1 physical single, 1 maxi-single, 1 download and 1 streaming equivalent count the same when pices may vary 10 to 100 times bettween them?

They used to count double albums twice for certificaitons because double CD albums were priced almost double from regular 1 cd albums.

The criteria changed completly so they could favoured new artists (record labels want to push new artists) but doesn't show the real market anymore in the long run as we can see on sales charts when people have to pay for a record they not always do it but some fans of young artists still do it (look at BTS, Taylor Swift or Adele or even Ed Sheeran sales among others - they would be ahead of the so called streaming artists if this was done right).

The so-called "bubble gum" artists don't sell much.

Will the US re-certifications be enough for Madonna to leapfrog to TOP 5? Seems hard but not impossible.

From the American Life album...

Love Profusion SPS: 31,000

That's really low for those amazing songs.

They could never wake up "American Life" album or songs... if any of those was just used on an hit serie or movie would work wonder SPS for both song and album

They all need to rethink the strategy as they not only need to remind people of her huge hits but also remind them also she had amazing songs that didn't got to be heard due to political reasons (and radio boycott). Some people will still remember "Love Profusion" as it still played on TV music channels.

I think there's no point in doing so.

Some songs are low and will remain low forever.

Madonna performed Hollywood in what was probably the most talked about perfomance of the decade in America.

Still,people didnt move a finger to buy neither the single nor the album.

Hollywood didn't even reach the Hot 100 as everyone knows.

When she performed at the Superbowl, her whole catalogue had a huge boost on the US iTunes (back when iTunes was "THE" ish) and several of her albums charted on the Billboard 200 in the following week... well, all but American Life lol

They simply don't like the album,it's a fact.

Most importantly,it's impossible to try to make the whole world notice songs from the past for an artist like Madonna, with such a montruous catalogue .

Not only impossible,it's pointless.

What Warner needs to do is to capitalize on her most important and well known songs and albums to make her known among those who only remotely heard of her because of their parents, to remind those who,for whatever reason, don't remember how many great songs she had in the past and to make those who once were fans, remember why did they fall in love with her in the past...

US is a very important market but US is not the world.
I mean 330 million people live there in a planet with 8 billion people.

"Hollywood" was #03 on European Hot 100 Chart (that had countries that summed up over 600 million people at the time) and was also #05 in Canada - peaked TOP 20 in most World Countries including also Australia.

Sure that despite peaking #02 in UK the single didn't sell much and had a huge fall but didn't flop either.

Problem in US was the radio airplay as the song was not played by radios. Was the song released after the American Life video premiered.
Failed the TOP 100 airplay. Yet many people got the maxi single (there was still no iTunes at the time but was #04 on Single sales and #01 on maxi-single sales). It was only released on a maxi-single sold at $7.99 or $8.99. Probably if iTunes was already a thing at the time it would have been different.

Could it have had better sales at the time? Probably but despite "Hollywood" was performed so was "Like a Virgin" and that was the song that stick at the time in people's head. The performace certainly increased all Madonna discography and as "Hollywood" was not played at radios many people probably only listen to it at the performance (and at MTV network music channels where the video was also played).

"Hollywood" video still plays regulary in European music chanels like MTV 00's, VH1 or MCM Pop (among others).

The same for "Love Profusion" that despite failling the US HOT 100 and didn't go TOP 20 in European Hot 100 (because was released and peaked in different months along European countries - some in early December 2003 and others only in February 2004) was still #01 of sales and airplay in Spain and was both sales and airplay TOP 10 Hit in many European countries. In Canada peaked #03. In Italy was even the 30º Most successful song of 2004 in the country (Top 10 of the year for english speaking artists). Sure was not one of Madonna biggest hits of all time but the song have potential.

Did the comercial with the song was played only in Europe or was it played in US too? I'ts an American brand so probably played in US TV too..

Love Profusion was also only released as maxi-single and was also #01 on maxi-single sales. Sure it ain't much record labels were withdrawing singles as didn't got much profit from them and pushing maxi-singles and album sales that gave them huge profits. Warner probably would have to sell 10 times more singles compared the maxi-singles numbers they sold to get the same kind of profit.

[Artoo]

American Life is my favourite Madonna song and Madonna album. The way the world slept on it is criminal and no wonder she felt uninspired afterwards.

[BodyShop]

US is a very important market but US is not the world.

I know, but the SPS numbers thebigham posts are for the US, hence why I wrote about that market.

But, reagrdless of that, I stand by what I said. Why spend so much time,money and energy on flopped songs? Or a flopped album?

"Great" and "Amazing" are subjective to anyone's taste (I, for one, dislike most of American Life's songs - I cant *stand* Love Profusion for example...)

Fact is the album is among her least popular ones and,imo, Warner should heavily focus on her super famous albums and songs.

Am I saying everything else should be ignored? No.

All I'm saying is that there's no point in trying to revive something that flopped greatly in the past nowadays, when things are even harder.
That's all.
