Madonna - "Living For Love"

[SPRΞΞ]

All this proves just how relevant she is.

[Wolfy]

What's the official name of the incident? #fallgate or #capegate? Both are trending on Twitter.

#capegate seems to be more popular.

I think they meant that she faked it to get people interested in her to sell more tickets when they do go on sale... which still sounds stupid imo, but it at the very least makes more sense.

One would think that if someone fell on stage/tripped during a performance that perhaps they cannot do it as well as they did before and could potentially hinder sales, but others have fallen or tripped before and it just happens. I don't think she should have any issue selling tickets.

All she needs to do is ditch the capes and loose fabrics just to be on the safe side.

I never said that she needed it. I don't think she staged it at all. What I'm saying is the magazine probably wrote that headline for a different reason then some of the posters were saying.

[seaguy27]

Magazine probably does not believe it either….it is just a cheap tactic on their part to sell something because the truth is less interesting.

Sheesh, hopefully this is last bad update.

[skizzo]

Yeah this is plummeting hard.

[HolidayGuy]

Tomorrow's total spins count will not include Feb. 14-20, which is when it was receiving the big updates. So, even without that, it should have enough spins to rank in the top 50.

[jjose712]

So many adds this week and so many bad updates

I think we'll readjust next week to the panel changes because this week she is probably the most notorious but not the only one who had a great adds day and a less than stellar week in spins

From the Official Charts:

Madonna may have stumbled at this year's BRIT Awards, but her new single "Living For Love" is carrying her up this week's Official Singles Chart, OfficialCharts.com can reveal.

After less than two days on sale, the singer's latest release is currently placed at Number 26, according to today's Official Charts Company sales flash (February 27). She's just over 1,000 chart sales away from the Top 20, while another 10,500 would see her enter the Top 10.

The last minute entry means she is set to earn her 71st UK Top 40 hit on Sunday's chart. Her last entry was in 2012 with her Nicki Minaj and MIA collaboration "Give Me All Your Luvin'", which peaked at Number 37.

Friday and last update in the UK and it's expected to debut at #26 this week.

The Brits performance officially uploaded to YouTube. Love the remix parts added to the song. They should release a radio remix and send it out to radio.

Thanks for the link. It was a truly awesome performance, especially considering the hiccup at the beginning. The remix made it a step above the Grammy performance, for sure.

[jjindc]

Does anyone know if views of the Brits performance video will count towards BB 100 ranking?

I think it should. I know when parodies of Wrecking Ball took off, it counted as long as the actual song was what people were hearing in the video. I would certainly think this would count. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

She looks stunning at the Brits after party (even with whiplash):

Definitely the most beautiful woman present. Rita/Kim look like the Doublemint twins swallowed by a Bazooka bubble. And Kim needs to lay off the surgery, her profile looks like Michael Jackson's. And a shame because she was perfection without any surgery.

Madonna's could lay off a bit too lol.

SPOILER: Click to show

Anyways, I'm sad the fall hasn't helped her on radio with all the media coverage and all. LFL is really good.

[HolidayGuy]

Anything categorized as "Music" would be reported to Billboard. The official upload of the performance is categorized as such. A lot of the short clips probably aren't categorized as music, though- I've seen "People/Blogs," "Entertainment," etc.

Those fillers are frightening but M never had her nose done. That's what I was referring to about Kim's surgery.

At least this did better in UK than US:

Too bad it didn't have a full chart week of sales. Gotta love Interscope for working against her every time.

[blogger]

Has it been announced if she is going to be doing ANY american promo in the next couple of weeks?Shows like Ellen, Good morning America etc? Like taylor swift did?At this point in her career she needs these appearances /performances more than the new up and comers. If radio won't play her ,her only platform for exposure of new music is these public appearances . If there is nothing planned on these shows I'm afraid for the most part the new material/ CD will be DOA :(

Again, no. So far it's tracking #26 for the week, but will rise because it wasnt available for purchase the first several days and wil build.

To Bad she had that fall. She had the best performance of the night and still pulled it off. She was the Top news story on the Doctors that she must be in incredible shape to recover from that. She really pulled that off as a champion Its so odd that the lyrics totally matched what happened.

Yeah, I noticed that also. It reminded me of when Timberlake sung "Cause I gotta have you naked by the end of this song"... then... nipplegate!

I've been wondering the same thing, makes no sense that there is nothing scheduled as of yet.

[Az Paynter]

I think this is the last of the week-long boost worn off now, time to see where it goes from here.

Now # 11 on UK I tunes . LVL is on most major radio playlist s . Very interested to see where it will enter on the official chart , any where between 26 and top 10 it seems , and will it rise in the following week ?. She is on Jonathan Ross tonight which can only help . 

[HolidayGuy]

So, after the first seven-day push out of the picture, and after most big stations (mostly iHeart) didn't continue playing it thereafter, it had 691 spins in the last week- could be a lot worse (look where it was at before the push). The rolling total is still being measured against that big week, but with each day, those days will drop out of the LW numbers.

howard- the Ross program airs Saturday, the 14th, so it probably won't have a big impact for that particular week. Currently at 16 on UK iTunes (with the standalone at 193).

[divasummer]

Is Madonna really num #16 in the UK?
I thought she was huge through out Europe?

Radio isn't playing LFL in any major Euro markets. She put out her first singe over 32 years ago. Nobody keeps getting mega hits.

[skizzo]

Radio 1 were bumming her not long ago, why the sudden backlash?

[KissMyAxe]

I don't think the song will recover on US radio, it has a negative bullet of nearly 1000 :(
