Madonna - Finally Enough Love: 50 Number Ones

[UnapologeticKenny]

I like the release but I can't deny that the fact that they didn't even bother to search for a new song to include in here is quite shocking. A very upbeat song ready to the dance floor kind of s**t would be awesome.

Even an updated version of Broken I'd take.

[Artoo]

It’s possible there’s something new in the works that’ll be separate to this, so let’s just see how that plays out.

They don't search, they find

[Artoo]

Honestly, I can’t get enough of the sixteen track version. It’s the Madonna album I didn’t even know I needed.

[Debs_Wild]

Did this chart?

[Mikerocha]

No.

[Artoo]

Did this chart?

It’s chart ineligible until it’s put up for sale.

[Angeman]

It debuted straight at number one on my personal chart for the week

[theMathematician]

It’s chart ineligible until it’s put up for sale.

Unusual marketing concept considering most of the people interested will be hardcore fans who will want to have the CD/vinyl in their collection.

Are you sure? Albums that are available for streaming (only) are still chart eligible (in most markets).

I think there’s different rules when it comes to studio albums vs greatest hits collections, but admittedly I don’t know every chart’s rules.

This conversation should be on her chart analysis thread, not here, but anyway.

If we’re talking about UK, it’s a bit confusing…

Streaming Only Albums

-Newly released studio artist albums available in an audio streaming only format will be chart eligible.
-For a streaming album to qualify as newly released it may not feature repertoire previously available on albums by the artist (unless they are newly released alternative versions of previously available tracks).—
-Greatest hits/anthologies/live albums and generally compilations of previously released material will not be chart eligible if available for streaming only.

3rd paragraph could mean it’s not eligible… although this is not a GH, but a remixes compilation. So, not really clear.
But 2nd paragraph states that albums with new versions (all tracks are listed as 2022 remastered version) and tracks not previously included on any album (some were available on singles, others are new on streaming, but they weren’t on any of her albums) are considered newly released material… so that would make it eligible.


Anyway, the thing is that the streaming numbers from this week (if we take Spotify figures for reference, 1.2M worldwide on week 1), are definitely not enough for the album to chart based on streaming alone anywhere.
So, even if 100% confirmed it was eligible, it wouldn’t have debuted.

It’ll definitely chart once physically released.

Updated total streams numbers, please?

Updated total streams numbers, please?

The updated numbers are in the chart thread for this album. This is the discussion thread.

The outro of the Living For Love remix is so epic

[Artoo]

The outro of the Living For Love remix is so epic

Honestly, it’s probably my favourite remix on this album.

I don’t know how I’m going to deal with FEL50 because I love this abridged version so much - it’s the perfect length and it’s actually a great selection of songs.

[RayRay]

Looking forward to the 2CD with the Keep It Together remix.

[wowsignal14]

remixes I'm looking forward for the most:
Keep It Together (Alternate Single Mix)
Nothing Really Matters (Club 69 radio mix)
Don't Tell Me (Thunderpuss video remix)
Celebration (Benny Benassi remix edit) *it's gonna sound so clean remastered I'll love it*

[Artoo]

I’m really looking forward to the video version of Open Your Heart. I don’t think I’ve heard the 7” versions of Holiday, Like a Virgin or Material Girl, so looking forward to those too.

[Angeman]

Im looking forward to Fever Edit One. Oh wait...

OYH
NRM
and Impressive Instant are my most anticipated.

Why did they release the one disc so early?

[Artoo]

Why did they release the one disc so early?

It’s streaming only, physical and download released in August alongside the 50 track version. My best guess is they hoped the abridged version on streaming would generate some sort of buzz. It hasn’t, but I’m enjoying it far more than I expected to.

[nekoocz]

i wish they released this remix on Spotify …

[JeremySpears]

"Holiday" remix is here make some noise

If they did, I would've expected much more buzz than what it got. I mean it's a remix project. I can't expect it to get big promo. Not now and not when the full thing comes out next month.
