Madonna :: Charts & Sales History

[Hex]

Those Rolling Stone charts have little credibility.

Of course Elton and Bruce did better. Rock never dies. Rock albums keep on selling year after year.

I agree with you here--the numbers in Madonna's case don't really add up. Doesn't she get about 1.9 million streams a day on Spotify? Thats' way more than 291 million streams.

[NoirPhoenix]

I don’t see it that RS position too tragic, for example she’s above of JLo who put out music, promotes like crazy and did the Super Bowl, she also did like 2/3 of what Britney did and she’s more millennial and also had new music out and a Xmas song, Madonna was mute this year ignoring Levitating that did like 30M but are not credited to her Spotify stats.

We also need to keep in mind that the US is not her main market on Spotify at least, the top 5 countries are always Mexico, Brazil, Chile, Italy and UK; so I’ll take this and celebrate it!

Hung Up on track to hit 200M by November.
MateriL Girl on track to hit 200M by early March.

Some milestones:
* Human Nature - 6 million (Album + GHV2)
* Sky Fits Heaven - 3 million

[Hex]

I've seen the chart and:

Only 87 artists did over 1B streams.
Only 240 artists did over 500M streams

Almost all artists above 500M streams are either dead or had big hit songs during 2020, 2019 or 2018 on Hot 100 (there a few exceptions only).

This is about US streams only and this is probably one of Madonna's smallest markets for streaming around the world since she was cut out from radio since 2003 there. Would love to see a chart about Worldwide streams but I guess that unfortunally there isn't one.

Getting her new music basically banned in America in 2003 really hurt her sales in America and it probably impacts America's perception of her to this day. But looking back on it, Ray of Light and Music were bigger in ther est of the world than they were in America.

296.1M audio streams in the US in 2020.

[catch22]

I actually don't think her year-end position is that bad. Most of her streaming comes from playlisting of her back catalogue and we all know pop catalogues don't last in popularity as long as rock catalogues. It's just the nature of pop music and being a popstar. Madonna will get a small boost on the year she releases new music, but otherwise #428 sounds about right.

This is also an American chart that is dominated by rap, hiphop, RnB,, even country. I don't even know who the #6 most streamed artist is, and haven't heard of about 1/3 of the top 100.

[Shego]

i mean many older fans refuse to stream her music and use streaming platforms but CDs instead, its her teams + fans fault

[madfan13]

Bruce released a new album and film documentary in 2020.
Elton John biopic did help him pick up a bit as was played on TV several times during 2020.

I'm sure Madonna was way higher on 2019 Year End. And will be even higher after her biopic too.

I hope so!

[MadNuno]

Gosh that’s a bit tragic... that shows how little people people really listen to her music these days So many of her contemporaries, and even older acts, way abover her. Bruce Springsteen, Elton... Sigh.

Bruce released a new album in 2020 (chart topping "Letter To You") and Elton has a big Christmas hit ("Step Into Christmas") to his name.
