Mediabase Quick Cut Info - March 19, 2015MADONNA - Ghosttown: 4.667 million audience impressions (+1.081) This is really starting too move without any help yet from adds or video... It's only gonna get better impressions with the video guest starting Terrance Howard and the iHeart Radio Awards show.

It looks like her being on Ellen all week hasn't had much of an impact.No songs on the iTunes top 100, the album only at #18 on itunes and Ghost town not in the top 50 CHR airplay. When you think about it, it has , her album was at #24 about 4 days ago and dropping fast... about 5 to 10 positions every few hours... If there was no Ellen this week... I think Rebel Heart would have been outside the Top 100 on iTunes by today.

^^^I think saying that it would have been out of the TOP 100 is a bit dramatic…..I think the Ellen promo will help soften the fall for sure. There is always a ton of movement at the beginning of the week with new releases and pre-orders. Unless your Empire or TS you will drop a lot.

The track is not at Top 40 just yet only AC/HOTAC for now, only about 2 or 3 TOP40 are playing if you count Z100 who seem to be spinning 1x every 4 days! My Home Boston KISS108 & WKCI New Haven Ct are the only TOP40 spininng,albeit very limited :) And the Album is holding steady considering all albums drop 70% in sales the 2nd week. So Ellen has helped! In addition to the plays 'Ghosttown' it's getting at 'AC' radio!

The album went down to #24 at the beginning of the week and Ellen appearances are not going to affect radio playlists, let alone launch a single from zilch to Top 50 at Pop in one day.

I don't, let's face it..until Ghosttown has an impact, this album had most of its buyers from the last 4 months, why would that surprise too you? ..if anything the Ellen show will keep people on board till she can introduce Ghosttown on iHeart awards.

Don't forget that Madonna albums tend to drop rapidly after the 1st week which means that without the Ellen show the album wouldn't be at #18 today, which is a huge accomplishment IMO
Ghosttown could be an album seller especially if it reaches top 10 on AC/HAC
BTW Don't expect so much movement after the iHeart Radio awards performance since that show has minimal audience

If I'm not mistaken, I believe that MDNA dropped in the 40's on iTunes during it's second week. . RH has moved to as high as 16 today and continues to stay strong around 18. Deffinately Ellen effect and maybe Ghosttown radio even tho the song is in the low 200 on iTunes but slowly moving up is helping. My thoughts are if this iinitiative promo for GT is tied to the iiheart awards because she will be performing, why not push for another week until then. if not then it will be dropped just like after the first week of LFL push. To my knowledge, I don't think there is another performance of GT until then. Why not keep the ball rolling now that it is getting spins. Also why are 3 of the largest markets for Pop spinning it? Z100 spins it and usually other Pop markets follow its lead. There has to be a deal for Z100 to spin it. I hope there is something up with her team that we do not know about to get this a lot of exposure. I hope for a pop radio push for a week along with AC/HAC. I mean what do they have to loose? With Terrance Howard on board for the video, I see this with a story line and a message. I want an epic talked about video the way she used to have during her MTV days This song is too good not to deserve all that interscope and her team can to ignite it to general public's interrest.

Do the ITunes radio awards usually happen on a major network like it is this year? Don't they usually have mini concert specials on the WB???
I watch a soap and The VOice on channel 7 and I see ads for the award show constantly. Maybe this year will do better ratings wise. I've seen Madonna, Beyoncé, Justin Timberlake, Taylor Swift and other big names are going to be there. There all pretty big draws.

The mini concerts your referring to are iHeart Radio Jingle Balls that each markets holds in December. Usually the Z100 edition is taped and aires on CW network!

I would think this years award show may do decently in the ratings and give "Ghosttown" a little sales boost.

This year's show may very well improve in the ratings because of MADONNA! :) And,with the TV exposure in primetime, I agree the sales should improve dramatically. :)

Hopefully she performs Ghosttown. Though I think it would be awesome if she did a mash up of the songs on the album :)

Yeah probably that. Did pop radio play "What It Feels Like For A Girl", the original one?

Mediabase Quick Cut Info - March 20, 2015 MADONNA - Ghosttown: 5.454 million audience impressions (+0.787)
The song is getting close to maxing out on big daddy WLTW New York (#6 on their playlist with 1.14 million impressions), so new stations will have to come on board and stations already playing will need to up spins for significant gains to continue. For the record, I don't believe the four pop stations spinning are part of the "initiative" - I think they are testing the waters of their own volition because they believe the song has potential.

This isn't bad. I liked "Living For Love" too. She sounds a little uninspired in the verses, but the chorus is good.

Apparantly Ghosttown is featured in a commercial in Italy, and it shot back up to the Top 10 there. Food for thought.

For me TPOG is easily her best ballad, and one of her best songs period. Love it. The video was stunning too

Oh, i remember What it feels like for a girl, with the phrases of The Cement garden by Ian McEwan at the beginning. I really liked the original, the remix not so much, and the video was only for the remix.
Drowned world never was released in the USA but it is a great song
This is doing really well on airplay, in a more natural way than recent singles, hopefully it will be able to sustain it, and rise on itunes
