Madonna - Living For Love

[beredy]

I'm mad because it's her best single since Jump imo. :evil:

Since 4 minutes, for sure!

Miles Away?

Miles Away was good too IMO. Yeah, I know, a HC track

Miles Away of course, I could I forget one of my favourites of all time... :-?

"So far away, so far away, so far away, so far away
So far away, so far away, so far away, so far away"

I disagree. The fact it had been heard for the last 2 months meant the hype was lost. There's no point holding a song back thesedays, with the internet everyone can access it anyway. It's not like the days when we had to buy physicals, there was good logic behind that, now it just means the song is stale by the time of release.

Is it? Then how come most of anticipated releases are held back just to assure a number one debut? Otherwise most of them would have surely missed it (having no push from accumulated pre-orders). Just look at the list of last year's number ones. Almost all of them were released at least a month after they had first made the airwaves. Not to mention "Am I Wrong" that was over a year old when officially released in Britain. Had this strategy been so useless, believe me that record labels wouldn't lose their money on it.

LFL is already a Madonna classic in my book, no matter what charts say

Stop being so contrary Maroon

[maroon]

I wasn't being contrary, just demonstrated how well the strategy still works.

[chartnut2k14]

I'm glad this strategy is nearly useless now that iTunes applies new rules. I always found that holding back music supports piracy.

[maroon]

It's not useless at all since pre-orders are still being accumulated for the official chart's first week.
Thanks to this strategy the UK chart can still have nigh new entries and it's been its trademark for two decades now.

[spiritboy]

It's a good strategy that worked for many artists.

[kachorro]

This is such an amazing song the video is boring as hell... so sad about the peaks positions around the world

[Benjamin]

After three months I'm more in love with this song than ever.
It's such an uplifting track. Plus, it's a banger.

[kushi]

Might be a hit in Australia.

It's being played on Nova, and Madonna is doing a promo 'Red Room Live in LA: With Madonna' which is being hyped. Good on her.

This would've been a top 5 smash everyone if a younger artist sang

[Madgefan]

You mean Cher ?

[Serby]

This would've been a top 5 smash everyone if a younger artist sang

Or herself, few years ago.

[boto]

Selena Gomez?

[GetBack]

It's a great song, too bad the leaks killed their strategies for the single!

[AlphaMale]

Although it's a great song, IMO, and the leaks also made some damage, I also think that the general public didn't really clicked with the song, don't know why...

[Storyteller]

Where did this chart in the UK?

#26 was its peak.

[Timmy94]

How come this was such a non-event chartwise ? It was a 1) Madonna 2) lead single...

Madonna singles are no longer events chartwise since 2012.

[oaknuys]

Any ideas if the studio version of the Brit Awards Performance is released anywhere? Its a mix between the album version and living for drama rmx... And i guess the intro and the outro on the performance made the song ten times better...
