^Indeed. The digital and streaming numbers aren't great, though good enough to push it over 1 million when coupled with the 870,000 or so in physical sales.
"4 Minutes" has surpassed 4 million SPS? I knowit's been eligible for 3m for eons, as the digital sales exceeded as much.

Someone was posting on reddit about the Like a Virgin performance at the VMAs in 1984. I shared a story that I am not sure I ever shared here. We spent the summer of '84 in Italy and Greece visiting our family. We happened to be in Venice when Madonna was filming the LAV video. We saw them filming scenes of her dancing on the gondola by the Bridge of Sighs. I remember it wasn't moving and there was a big platform that filled most of the boat. There camera men on the boat filming her and men on either side holding the boat still with those long black poles. It was hard to hear the song, but we did hear bits and pieces but we didn't recognize it because this was like July '84 and it wasn't coming out for like another 6 months. We recognized her but it wasn't a huge deal, as the only pop hits she had at the time were Holiday and Borderline was the current single. I think my brothers and I were like its the hot girl who sings that borderline song, but that was about it. A few month later we see her on VMAs because we realized she was singing the song we saw her filming and bragged to all our friends that we saw her filming this song in Venice like we were so bougie.

I love this song, but what always cracked me up about this was the complete left turn she did with her followup song, Erotica. Playground was all about lush and dreamy vibes and a perfect summer ballad. Also love that extended bridge and key change in the Long Version. I was very surprised it did not get nominated for Best Original Song at the Academy Awards. It was the perfect kind of song that the academy loves...a sentimental ballad, a hit movie, and a big commercial hit song. It did get nominated for a Golden Globe (lost.) In fact, no song Madonna has written for a film has been nominated for an Academy Award. Though she has a good track record with the Golden Globes on Best Original Song. Her nominated songs for a GG are: 1)Who's That Girl 2)This Used to Be My Playground 3)I'll Remember 4)Beautiful Stranger 5)Die Another Day 6)Masterpiece (Winner) And we all know that two songs she sang, but didn't write, won Academy Awards: 1)Sooner or Later 2)You Must Love Me

Nice story, August- who knew, eh? ![:-D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) "Playground" probably was hurt, in terms of an Oscar nod, by the whole Erotica/ Sex one-two punc- and tack Body of Evidence on to that, also. At the Grannys... er, Grammys, "Who's That Girl," "I'll Remember" and "Beautiful Stranger" were nominated i nthe Song Written For a Motion Picture category, with "Stranger" winning.

Ahh, I hadn't noticed the two versions of The Confessions Tour on my Spotify until yesterday, but I do remember those tracks being greyed out for a long time. Probably why I quit checking that particular album for updates.
