She deserves these numbers and better. Plus she didn't bundle the album with popcorn or an energy drink. Lol. Exactly. People thinking these albums are free when you're buying a concert ticket that costs over 500$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonaade Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 I don’t think anybody should be judging any artist for ticket/merch bundles because pretty every artist has done it/will do it. They’re deals that their management/labels organize for them because it’s easy money and can give them an advantage on chart positions. It may seem shady, but that’s how the industry works. Still better than a decade ago, when labels used shipments to skew certifications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunbleach Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Eh. They're pretty low, but then I remember that Madonna's been doing her thing for nearly four decades now. Even if you bring up tour bundles, it's just a little mind-boggling that she can still tour successfully these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddy Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 22 hours ago, sadnews said: she had ticket bundle and merchandise bundle. like 28 imtes something like that., so this was expected. I would argue this is low considering merchandise bundle. but yeah.. only 10's crazy fans buy those bundles. without bundle she was probably like 45k ish. wait, you said it yourself, "only 10's crazy fans buy those bundles" so how would few 10's of bundles change 100k to 45k?

abrahamjmr Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 People acting as if bundles were a wrong thing when everyone is currently doing it. Understand something, that's the only way artists can have their albums bought on this dead market. If you think streaming is generating some sort of income for these musicians you got it wrong.

tiagol88 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 16 minutes ago, Pop said: With bundles? Yup...for a theater tour. For an album with no hits and no promo in the USA during release week. Why is everyone shading Madonna's numbers but not Bruce? Everyone was so sure she would be #2 because of him (even i was) and he might not even sell half of what she will. I don't get it?

The fact that your album gets to chart solely because you got one hit song that is currently smashing, which pushes the whole album to chart on Billboard 200 chart. An Anne Marie teas.

The Second Coming Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 (edited) So now that she will most likely hit #1 after 40 years of career, selling twice her peers, sales remaining estable since RH released 4 years ago, time when she has been keeping a low profile in US living overseas, and now releasing experimental WW music sounding completely different from the current trendy one, without a proper hit or heavy promo on 1st week etc etc, the usual obsessed bitter members have to resort to tour bundles with tickets which has an average price of $300 as an attempt to drag her They are truly tragic Edited June 17, 2019 by The Second Coming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played it for my friends last night. It doesnt chase trends it's basically an adventure. The haters that likely didn't even listen to the album say it's not cohesive when it clearly is. They could have done like confessions and mixed the songs into each other because they blend. She deserves success with this Album. Extreme Occident alone is a standout and it's not even on the standard edition. Plus you have to listen to more then a minute of the song to get to the climax then it just goes off. These songs are bizarre and different. Hopefully the numbers go up!!!!!!!! Edited June 17, 2019 by Shaner69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
