Why put M's head on someone else's body, when her body is perfectly fine? :)

All this talk of favorite tracks with such different results has me finally thinking about mine Top 5 in Random Order: Living for Love Best Night Rebel Heart Iconic Hold Tight im glad someone is giving the Rebel Heart track some love. It's the one song that I can't stop myself from singing along with it. I can imagine the crowd going crazy whe she whips out her guitar and performs this at the tour. The album has so many great tracks . It's hard to choose just 5 or even 10 favorites.

The Rebel Heart track is easily among my top 5 favorite tracks off the album. And yes i do prefer the album version over the demo.

RH plunges 40 spots on Top Album Sales this week, from 49-89 in its seventh week. In its seventh week, MDNA dropped 65-77 in sales.
Still loving "Ghosttown"- it's picking up a little steam in terms of spins at Hot AC radio.

commercially, this era is done. you can only promo so much. It's all about the tour and making some money at this point.

You know..I was thinking...it is all perspective. In 32 years of releasing singles in the U.S., she has only had 13 (out of ~70) of them miss the Hot 100. Which really is an amazing feat. She even had a 20 years stretch (1983-2003) where every one of her U.S. singles hit the Hot 100. Not including international singles or promo (Into the Groove, Gambler, etc), the following official U.S. singles missed the Hot 100:
1983: Everybody, Burning Up 2003: Hollywood, Nothing Fails, Love Profusion 2006: Get Together, Jump 2008: Miles Away 2009: Revolver 2012: Girl Gone Wild, Turn Up the Radio 2015: Living for Love, Ghosttown
Good for her!

The vogue sample would get ppl talking. you're always right about a lot of things. I don't hate LFL, but it definitely should NOT have been the first single. She should've done a duel-release (has that ever been done before for leads?) BIM to Pop and GT/JOA to Hot AC/AC. and UB is another great single-worthy track.

I'm still not getting it. If the tour tickets went on sale weeks ago then why are the sales plummeting so hard if every ticket purchase equals a digital album purchase ?

I think radio has completely abandoned Madonna.

The album redemption is not automatic. The ticket buyer has to go through their email and follow the link to download the album (Super Deluxe). I know, because that's how I got the Super Deluxe tracks.

The most recent example would be Beyonce with "XO" and "Drunk in Love"

BIM to Pop and GT/JOA to Hot AC/AC. and UB is another great single-worthy track. I'm not sure it would matter. I think radio has completely abandoned Madonna. That's not true either. Look at the longevity of the test spins in all the major markets for GT, and to some extent, LFL. If it was a Hung Up-type of single, I think we'd be having a different conversation right about now. LFL and GT are just not CHR material, whereas BIM and UB are, imo. GT is doing great on AC. Look how well it's holding on. Not too shabby on Hot AC as well. I think the interest will always be there. She just needs "that" song. Unfortunately there is not a slam-dunk CHR smash on this album, although the material as a whole is pretty awesome.

I wouldn't say "Ghosttown" is doing "great" at AC- it's top 20, which is decent, but it doesn't look like new stations are picking it up.
Her potential for big CHR/Pop hits is low, and it's just going to get lower with each new album, so it would be best to focus on AC and Hot AC. But the potential even at those formats isn't what it once was.
I listened to the deluxe this afternoon- "S.E.X." really is the only track that I flat-out just can't get into. I like things about all the others, even those that aren't my favorites.

Iconic deserves a single release. It could actually become a hit. That hook is massive.

I would choose Veni Vidi Vici over an Iconic release even though it's up there in my top favorites as well.

I said this before, but BIM needs to be sent to POP now and Joan Of Arc to AC once GT dies down.

I have to say Madonna's rant about "discrimination" and "ageism" is quite pathetic when she tries everything in her power to look 30 years younger than herself.

Ageism is not about the way one looks....Madonna has always cared about her fitness etc so why would she stop now? You can look older than you are, or younger or your age (which are all things subjective to ones idea of what someone that age looks like) and still face ageism.
