(originally had this posted in the AC forum, forgetting that AC/Hot AC weren't one forum any longer!)
OK- the big question is-
What will Hot AC/Adult Top 40 make of this? The format usually gives Madge some decent play- but, because of the Timbaland factor, can we expect oit to shun this track?
Discuss.

The Timbaland factor meaning his style of production or his spoken parts? How did "Promiscuous," "Give It To Me," and other songs "4 Minutes" follows do at AC/Hot AC? I don't see those formats embracing it much at all, but maybe they play this style more than I know.

I don't think the song being produced by Timbaland will affect this moreso than it would any other Madonna track. This song isn't that "urban" to not have a chance of charting.
Promiscuous and The Way I Are both went Top 30. Most of these non rock songs charting on HAC only go Top 30 anyway.

^ Oh, so the format is really more kind to her older songs than her newer ones.

Yep, like I thought. Most of her recent non "rock" singles have only gone Top 30. And this shouldn't be more or less affected by Timbaland being involved.

I was surprised at "Music" and "Hung Up" doing as well as they did at this format,as it usually is the light-rockish tracks that score biggest. But, she's an oldie-but-goodie at the format- and part of the format's target audience did grow up on her, I s'pose.

Heard a "clip" of it this mornin on a mornin talk show and I was really impressed...sounds so much better (and original) than anythin she's put out IMO since Don't Tell Me in 2001 (judgin from the 20 seconds or so I heard)

Can this do as well as "Hung Up" at the format? Maybe not- but a top 30 peak would be cool.

^ Oh, so the format is really more kind to her older songs than her newer ones. By older songs do u mean her songs from the 80s and early 90s...cause those were huge hits across the board She really hasn't had any huge hits in the 2000s, except Music and Don't Tell Me (the others went straight up CHR and then straight down, and Hot AC is def. more cautious about puttin songs by any artist into heavier rotation unless they're certain the songs are gonna be lasting hits) Anyhow, Music was a really dance-oriented song, which really only leaves Don't Tell Me to have been a big Hot AC hit in the 00s IMO |

I'm still shocked this has more play on Hot AC than Mariah's TMB.

Yeah most Hot AC's don't play many Mariah recurrents, but a lot play Madonna recurrents...also TMB only has a +24 bullet on CHR, and it hasn't been out for that long (if Mariah's song isn't doin that well on CHR, IMO most HACs aren't gonna touch it) |

Yes, but some Hot AC's are like AC stations that take forever to add a song. Plus TMB to me fits HOT AC more than 4M. But I'm happy with what 4M is doing, but it could do more.

Yeah def. agree...but those more conservative HACs only add songs that they think are gonna have a lengthy chart life, and have solid callout scores...so TMB prob. isn't a good "investment" for them - neither is 4 Minutes I guess, but IMO it has more of an 80s pop feel which fits in better with HAC than Mariah's 90s R&B style |

Looks to have found a second footing at Hot AC- currently among top 10 gainers (in terms of spins).
