in airplay, yes, but it wasn't released as a single, so it never counted. >:( Wow! Warner is beyond stupid. This would have, could have and should have been a numero uno!! This is one of the reasons I am excited for LiveNation. Hopefully they will make smart decisions. Same goes for Beautiful Stranger and possibly American Pie. Warner were so shit sometimes

I think the reason behind Hung Up not performing as well in the US as it did in many other countries had less to do with Madonna herself and more to do with the fact that dance music was nonexistent on the radio in 2005. In other countries, that wasn't the case. The song was too left of field for US radio at the time. In addition ABBA was always MUCH bigger outside the US. There probably wasn't as much sentimentality for the sample in the US as there were in many other countries. In fact, I'd say if any other 50 year old woman released that song it wouldn't have gone anywhere near the top 20 at pop radio and top 10 on the Hot 100.

Hung Up was ultra ahead of US radio at the time. If Glee would hve covered it, the song would have been huge on iTunes though no where near the excellent Madonna track that it is. After her movie is released...something is going to surprise and amaze us with her new era. It's inevitable.

if anything is ahead of its time, its Die Another Day. That song could be released right now and fit in perfectly.

^ absolutely 100% agree. 20 years from now DAD will be ahead of it's time. When I first heard it, I could not believe the energy, combo of strings and electro and wow power.

I think Die Another Day could be a hit today but Hung Up was definitely not ahead of its time. It was a disco throwback. The only disco throwback released by a pop artist since then that I can think of is She Wolf. Disco throwbacks are definitely not the kind of dance that is in right now.

but to Hung Up's credit, i could walk into any gay bar across the country and it would be blaring from the speakers and the entire vibe of the crowd was electrified. It may not have been CHR friendly, but it was definitely relevant to some.

Material Girl's new campaign with the fierce Kelly Osbourne released!What Madonna had to say on Kelly: "Kelly represents a true Material Girl," says Madonna in a statement today. "She is edgy, cool and has a unique sense of style that Lola and I love." What Kelly had to say on Material Girl and the campaign: "I'm still waiting for someone to pinch me and wake me up. I can't believe that I'm actually doing this and working with Madonna and Lola. What I like about it is that it's a brand for every woman, not just for young girls. They take high fashion and make it affordable and they don't cut corners. And it's so my style. I hate to call her a little girl, but this girl has the best style and she's so herself. And she was the most polite, well-mannered, well-rounded, unaffected normal girl in Hollywood that I met. I couldn't stop raving about her, so when I got this phone call I just had to do this.” Lola on Kelly: "I remember exactly what she was wearing: a striped maxidress with a jean jacket and pink blazer and I thought she looked so cool. So when [Iconix] came to us with a selection of girls [for the campaign] and she was one of them, I was like, 'Oh my God, she's great and she has great style.' I just think she's very individual but at the same time she's very fashionable." community.livejournal.com/ohnotheydidnt/56518292.htmlLove, love, love this. I need to do some shopping this week.

Lourdes looks so much like her for a split second I thought the photo on the right was a photo from Madonna in the late 70s/early 80s.

Same goes for Beautiful Stranger and possibly American Pie. Warner were so s**t sometimes Sadly, there were no commercial singles for either of those in the U.S. as both were from movie soundtracks. I had to go to great lengths to get the import releases to get the remixes.

'Die Another Die' is brilliant, IMO. I know I'm in the minority, but I find the entire American Life record to be brilliant. "Die Another Day" is a masterpiece, as is "Hung Up".
