BS has probably sell more than 2.5k worldwide, if not more. It sold 1k in US for being #1 for a day, it stills in top 20 for 4 days.

[thebigham]

So BS sold 1k in one day (April 30th) and also because that day the tracking week ended. While the movement has lost steam yesterday and today is still on top 20 and the streams went almost 25% up so maybe closing this upcoming week on May 7th, it can move around 1.2-1.5k and thus, showing on the Top Sales Chart, could that be enough to give us an updated sales number? The last data is from 2 years ago.

Is the album still priced at $4.99?

Album sales, TEA and SEA are so minimal for BS that we really don't need a new sales number.

2 years ago, BS was selling 29 copies a week. 2 years X 29 copies a week equals just 3,000 copies + 1,000 copies from last week is just 4,000 albums.

I'm more interested in the SPS numbers for her older singles. Is Vogue eligible for 3xP/4xP or even 5xP?

You mean the top 10 Spotify songs that everyone has in his/her Spotify page, or the top Spotify songs list that someone posts here every week about Madonna?

To aswer the firs part of the sentence, the top 10 Spotify songs are the the curreny 10 most played songs of each artist, i don't think Spotify has reveal if it's weekly of daily. If a song gets a boost it would probably rise in 2-3 days.

it is updated daily, ranking the most streamed songs in past 28 days. So for example. The #1 song on her Spotify is the song that had biggest amount of streams in total in the past 28 days. I know this because I also have a music on Spotify and I have a Spotify for Artists app to track it

Can someone explain again Madonna's top 10 songs on Spotify? Is it weekly or daily?

I thought it was you who did not like the whole #JusticeForBedtimeStories movement that got her #1 ;)

Eh. But, it gave us some charts to watch this week.

Can they still make the Top Album Sales chart though? Considering that pure sales now must be pretty dead

We don't have figures from Billboard, but taking figures from the Rolling Stones chart as a reference...

Last week, Selena Gomez's Rare was #86 on Billboard Album Sales chart and it sold 1.2k pure sales according to figures on Rolling Stones Chart...
1k copies for Post Malone at #87.
Although they claim 1k sold for Halsey, which was a bit higher on Billboard Album Sales at #80...

#100 on Billboard Album Sales chart must be selling around 900-1,000 copies now.
So maybe they could make the lower part of the chart.

E=MC2 debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart dated May 3, 2008. Bedtime Stories debuted and peaked at No. 3 (Nov. 12, 1994), and Control hit No. 1 on July 5, 1986. None of the albums are expected to re-enter next week’s Billboard 200 chart, despite their surge on the iTunes Store.

^Excuse me, but I do not need you to tell me that I am being off topic. Look at the first sentence:
"Celebrating my number one album on Itunes." This is direct from Madonna. It should be posted here.

Don't like it? Oh, well. Just move on. No need to comment.

I thought it was you who did not like the whole #JusticeForBedtimeStories movement that got her #1 ;)

How Did Older Albums by Madonna, Mariah Carey & Janet Jackson All See Sales Gains This Week - Keith Caulfield

A sale promotion in the iTunes Store lifted a number of older albums to sales increases, and fans took notice.


It might be the year 2020, but if you glanced at the U.S. iTunes Store’s Top Albums tally this past week, it’d be hard to tell what decade you were in.

Thanks to sale pricing and fan promotion, a trio of older albums by Mariah Carey, Madonna and Janet Jackson all jumped into the iTunes Store's always-updating Top Albums tally. On April 27 and 28, Carey’s 2008 album E=MC2 was No. 1 on the iTunes Store’s Top Albums tally, while Madonna’s 1994 set Bedtime Stories visited No. 1 on April 30. Meanwhile, Jackson’s 1986 album Control also visited the top 10 during the week -- and at one point, all three albums were together in the top 10.

According to initial sales reports to Nielsen Music/MRC Data, E=MC2 sold about 2,000 copies total across all retailers in the U.S. in the week ending April 30. About half of that sum was driven by digital sales on April 27, the day the album topped the iTunes tally. Traditionally, the album sells a negligible figure on a daily basis.

As for Bedtime Stories, it shifted a little over 1,000 copies for the week, while Controlsold just under 1,000. Again, the bulk of each album’s sales were driven by digital sales -- nearly 1,000 for Bedtime Stories on April 30 (the day it was No. 1 in the iTunes Store) and a little under, 1,000 for Control across three days (April 28-30). Like with E=MC2, both Bedtime Stories and Control generally sell a negligible figure on any normal day.

It doesn’t necessarily take a large number of sales to reach No. 1 on the iTunes Store’s Top Albums ranking, especially considering album sales have been on the decline for years, and it was a particularly soft week for new releases on April 24. The trio of albums were part of an iTunes Store promotion where more than 100 pop albums were discounted to $4.99 and advertised in a banner ad that appears at the top of the front page of the Store, directing consumers to “$4.99 Pop Albums at a Great Price.”

As generally happens with deeply discounted albums (most new titles sell for at least $9.99), they start to rise up the iTunes Store Top Albums list, since it reacts in real time to customers’ purchases. After that, fans of the divas took notice of the albums dotting the iTunes Store Top Albums list and began awareness campaigns on social media to drive attention to the albums. That promotion then helped engineer more sales for the albums, which brought them to the top 10 of the store. At that point, the albums got much wider attention, since the top 10 of the Top Albums list is visible on the front of the iTunes Store, and casual music fans likely saw the albums in the top 10 -- perhaps encouraging even more sales.

E=MC2 debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart dated May 3, 2008. Bedtime Stories debuted and peaked at No. 3 (Nov. 12, 1994), and Control hit No. 1 on July 5, 1986. None of the albums are expected to re-enter next week’s Billboard 200 chart, despite their surge on the iTunes Store.
