tiagol88 Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Spotify: Madonna - Madame X: 200 432 215 Kylie Minogue - Disco: 177 452 816 Cher - Dancing Queen: 117 183 052 Mariah Carey - Caution: 112 792 482 Céline Dion - Courage: 101 604 347 Janet Jackson - Unbreakable: 67 080 772 Madame X was according to ATRL a huge flop both in sales and streaming...yet it was streamed more than all other older MPGs, including Kylie's Disco which had an extensive promo campaign that lasted over a year, had 3 singles at first including a Dua Lipa feat as a single, a standard edition, a deluxe edition, a final edition with 3 extra singles + 7 remixes and 26 tracks overall Madonna somehow managed those 200M streams without trying hard and with a theater tour to promote it...and without sucking up to her fans and what they wanted from her (dance music). How did she manage to flop but still do better than everyone else once again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PopKills Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Love Madonna but she had huge promo for it (ESC, Billboard awards, literally a Maluma collab). Also her name value >>> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Both Sides Now Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 If you’re genuinely asking why Madame X has features from Maluma (2X), Anitta, Swae Lee, Quavo and Future… The featured tracks (6) = 138M The solo tracks (10) = 62M It’s still great for Madonna but Kylie’s album streams are the most impressive here because they are solo.

Both Sides Now Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 For reference, Caution (121M): The featured tracks (3) = 27M The solo tracks (7) = 94M All of them are tremendous flops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madame X being streamed more than a bunch of other unknown albums doesn't suddenly make it a success sales or streaming-wise. That's like celebrating you have $10 while all of your friends only have $5. You all still don't have a lot of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bencharmer Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 (edited) She literally baited latin audience with Maluma and Anita. The others album have no trendy featurings. Edited May 19, 2022 by Bencharmer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s 47M of 180M which is about 25% of streams. Meanwhile 69% of Madame X’s streams come from her 6 features. There’s your answer. Also, shouldn’t Madonna be able to outstream Kylie with ease since she’s the bigger artist? Disco was a cute success for Kylie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco was a cute success for Kylie. So feats shouldn't count for anything now? People don't count Shallow's streams for A Star Is Born's streams? Or DaBaby's Levitating for Future Nostalgia, etc? lmao It's only when it's convenient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selegend Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 (edited) Cuz her name is the biggest. it was still a bad era and a +/- album in my pov tho Edited May 19, 2022 by Selegend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read your OP where you literally try to explain Disco’s streams because it has a Dua Lipa feature (which only has 20M streams) but failed to mention Madame X’s features (which account for 69% of its total). I never said they shouldn’t count features but you asked why Madame X had the most streams and there’s your answer. It’s a massive bomb like the rest of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
