to me the promotion for this song died the day after the music video was released. it's clear madonna has moved on to "BIM" and intercope is not doing much for this. we'll see how this does on hot ac. it's too bad all promo wasn't coordinated behind this as it was her best shot in recent years at actually making a dent at pop radio. but then again even "girl gone wild" out peaked this at pop radio. No..it did NOT! 'Ghosttown' has yet to officially launch at Top40 POP! Those iHeart Award Show replay moments do not count as a launch of the track there. Madonna clearly has not moved on from 'Ghosttown' her team has set an 'add' date of April 20th next week @ 'HOTAC'! which is part of the continuing promotion there! ;)

I'm curious to why Z100 , the largest pop station in the US, is spinning this once every day and sometimes twice on weekends. Before this they wouldn't even think about playing her music unles it was a colab or a radio deal. Probably because of the requests. Lots of Madonna fans request in NYC. ( I'm one of them lol ) P's they did play Living for Love as well. As of test spins KIIS FM in LA and Boston has dropped the song. So did Y100 Miami. I have a feeling actually Z100 is done with this song too as of today ya there was no play of it .

KIIS did any test spins of 'Ghosttown' they did only the iHeart Award replay moment once! As for my home Boston they played it along with Y100 leading up to the iHeart Award performance and then did the replay moment and stopped. As for Z100 they played it leading up to the iHeart performance as well,and continued based on it's performance at 'AC' in my opinion. Once the song went negative yesterday for the first time they have since abandon and/or shelved the song for now. ;)

All mentioned stations test spinned GhostTown for weeks before and after the iHeart radio music awards. Research is gold.

I clearly stated they played the song leading up to the iHeart Award Show performance. And I know what my hometown station did. Because I tracked them and they where only a few Top40 stations that played 'Ghosttown leading up to the show! And after the show aired did a replay with many who did NOT originally play the song. That replay did NOT last for weeks your confused by the 7-day rolling period. Again there was only a select few Top40 stations that played the song leading up to the iHeart Award Show! And they were not part of the 'AC'/'HOTAC' 'initiative'. The select Top40 stations who spinned,did it voluntarily! As it was clearly stated in this very thread!! I am not going to be obnoxious you are simply mistaken not a big deal. ;)

The z100 spins show just how much she is relevant today. Now even I can admit she is completely over in terms of radio and the Hot 100 and whatever else, but what ISNT over and probably never will be, is the media fascination with her. 32 years in the biz and still creating headlines. All the haters come out of the woodwork, journalists respond, social media explodes, it all points to how IMPORTANT Madonna is to American culture. Yea she's over in terms of charts, but she will NEVER be over in terms of a living legend. That's something everyone will still be interested in, and commented on, probably till her death. Rightfully so.
That being said, can't wait for the BIM video, lol. I'm sure there will be plenty of "non fans" ready to make their statement about it, which just adds to her relevance.

I wait for your updates every day... Botoxic collected a page which tracks the radios which are/were test spinning GhostTown. Again Kiis LA Boston and Z100 all test spinned. They even had the song on their online playlist request forms. Lol . There were never any true facts about the supposed 'initiative' as of it went so long. A typical radio deal ( let's call it that only last a day ( sometimes days):) so as if someone proves the fact that it happened I ll say ok ur right. Until than... not so much. Trust me I checked that blog spot about the test spins

I would just like to have ONE song from this era make it on to the Hot 100.
Kind of sad that after the relatively meh "Hard Candy" and "MDNA" eras (where we at least got one top ten single from each), it's actually the much better "Rebel Heart" album that seems to finally be marking the end of her hitmaking career.

Oh man some of you are still giving the daily single TEST spins of Z100 and some other stations ? Can you just give up already ? I love this song more than anything else on RH but it's obvious that there's no hope for it on Pop radio.
Let's focus on BIM now and abandon this thread. May Ghosttown R.I.P

I would love to know what exactly is motivating the Z100 daily spins.? Z100 leads the charge so She gets immediate cred (not that radio trumps) but what is their end game?

Real fans are simply HAPPY for ANY radio spins. That said GhostTown 6.43 am Z100 play ( 4.19)

Agree. These spins are useless. The song is #403 on itunes. Unless some Miracle happens today with the official Adds date on hot AC this song is done.

I do think that everyone is right this song is totally done chart wise. The only song at this point I can see doing anything is Bitch I'm Madonna

I can't believe she won't get any 'adds' there are the iHeart Stations spinning because of the 'initiative' now coupled with the 'add' date that should motivate some stations to come on board,or at least I hope! ;)
