Madonna Earns Her First Top 40 Radio Smash In More Than A Decade www.forbes.com/sites/hughmcintyre/2023/08/30/madonna-earns-her-first-top-40-radio-single-in-more-than-a-decade/?sh=6b3752a012abMadonna has always been known for her record of being a reliable hitmaker in pop music, but even she has experienced a slight decline when it comes to commercial success in the past decade or so. Now, a recently-released collaboration has allowed her to achieve a notable victory on the radio charts after a long time and become a somewhat surprising win for the star. This week, Madonna's track "Popular" climbs to the No. 40 position on the Radio Songs chart, a Billboard publication that ranks songs based on their radio audience reach across the U.S. This increase marks the first time "Popular" has broken into the top 40, a threshold often associated with a song becoming a legitimate hit on the respective chart. "Popular" signifies Madonna's return to the top 40 on the Radio Songs chart after more than a decade. Her most recent appearance in this competitive range for this week was back in 2012 when "Give Me All Your Luvin'," featuring Nicki Minaj and M.I.A., reached No. 28 on the list. Although "Give Me All Your Luvin'" spent just three weeks on the chart, it managed to climb higher than "Popular," at least so far. Over her illustrious career, Madonna has amassed an impressive 13 top 10 hits on the Radio Songs chart, with only one of those, "Take A Bow," ascending to No. 1 in 1994. Considering all her chart entries, she has contributed a total of 30 songs to this tally, an impressive count for any musician. "Popular" has marked a comeback of sorts for Madonna, propelling her onto Billboard charts she hasn't graced in a while and elevating her to significant highs she hasn't experienced recently. |

^it had moved got and peaked at 7. it removed the original version and then another was uploaded. I think it returned to the top 200 briefly after initially dropping out, and then nothing since. For all it’s worth, Popular currently sits at #1 on the iTunes Soundtrack genre chart. |

“Although Madonna and Debby Harry belong on two separate sides of music history, there’s a lot more in common than meets the eye. They may not have played the same music or had similar voices, but they both powered through the hang-ups of fame to become the wise mothers of the next generation of female superstars.”

Thanks to The Weeknd too. Forbes Madonna’s Current Single Is Her Sturdiest In A Long, Long Time www.forbes.com/sites/hughmcintyre/2023/08/23/madonnas-current-single-is-her-sturdiest-in-a-long-long-time/Madonna made a triumphant return to the Hot 100 earlier in 2023, marking her first appearance on the chart in years. The singer's latest song, "Popular," a collaboration with The Weeknd and Playboi Carti, debuted on the ranking of the most-consumed tracks in the U.S., bringing her back to the coveted tally after a lengthy absence. Now, the tune’s staying power has defied expectations, solidifying its place as one of her most enduring hits in recent memory. This accomplishment may not be historically groundbreaking, but for Madonna, it signifies a notable achievement, as she hasn't seen one of her tracks spend this much time on the list in quite a while. In fact, "Popular" has now earned the distinction of becoming Madonna's longest-running Hot 100 hit in the past 15 years. The last time one of her songs remained on the chart for such an extended period was back in 2008. The collaborative effort "4 Minutes," featuring Justin Timberlake and Timbaland, held on for 13 weeks on the Hot 100. A number of Madonna's recent singles have managed to enter the Hot 100, but most of them experienced short-lived tenures. Tracks like "Celebration," "Give Me All Your Luvin'," and "Bitch I'm Madonna," despite being newer than "4 Minutes," each only spent a mere week or two on the tally. These songs enjoyed swift popularity, yet they disappeared just as quickly. In contrast, "Popular" is proving to be a genuine hit that is taking its time descending down the Hot 100. Of course, "Popular" still has a ways to go before it can rival the enduring longevity of some of Madonna's most cherished singles. Two of her tunes currently share the title for her longest-charting placements on the Hot 100. Both "Borderline" and "Take a Bow" managed an impressive 30 weeks on the chart before eventually dropping off. Whether "Popular" has the potential to reach or even approach such a milestone remains uncertain. But, considering the song's gradual descent, it's plausible that Madonna, The Weeknd, and Carti will continue to secure a spot on the chart for a few more weeks, and possibly even several months to come. |

So the video being filmed was a hoax? Beginning to look like that. My question is whatever happened to the new Max Martin song? I thought we were supposed to get it before the original tour dates began. Maybe it’s because Popular is still hanging in there. |

“At the end of a two hour set at age of 43 – and wearing heels no less – Madonna performed 15 jump squats, all timed perfectly to the beat of the music. And she still managed to look hot while doing it!”
