Hector Posted October 7 Posted October 7 34 years into her career, she did have Sorry which was a success internationally. Let's not.

Madonna is a trend chaser that has nothing to bring music wise. Cool artist for some times tho (but not since Hard Candy let's be honest). she cater to no one and no one is really interested in her but the old white gays. Considering Popular like an even slightly comparable to Believe is really a reach your honor. As much as I like them, Cher and Kylie have done nothing but constantly churn out dance music in an effort to recapture what they made 25+ years ago. Madonna was never pigeonholed in the same way because she never allowed her fans to dictate what she should/shouldn't do. If she did she would've been stuck in a rut re-making True Blue and Like a Prayer over and over again. and please explain to us when Nutcracker samples and Batuque music were trendy. Meanwhile, grammy award winning producers, Pat Leonard and William Orbit would have a thing to say about you claiming Madonna doesn't bring anything of value to the table during the recording process. They (like lots of producers) have all said the same thing, so why should we listen to someone on a music forum that doesn't have a fraction of their knowledge and experience, especially someone with an axe to grind? If no one cares about Madonna, they don't care about Cher or Kylie either considering Madonna is far bigger than the pair of them. 2 8
FrederickGa Posted October 7 Posted October 7 Madonna is a JOKE nowadays.. for the past decade btw 1 1 13
tshwark Posted October 7 Posted October 7 Believe and the whole album had a modern feel, love madge but Medellín was a big no.
Gorjesspazze9 Posted October 7 Posted October 7 She did, also Like a Virgin wasn't even Madonna's first smash hit. It was Holiday
tiagol88 Posted October 7 Posted October 7 (edited) "Why couldn't Cher have hits with every single album for over 3 decades like Madonna and had a fluke at 54" would be a better title...but okay. Also, pretending Madonna didn't have an album before Like a Virgin with 2 top 10 hits and pretending Popular from 2023 didn't exist is...a choice. edit: Just realized that not only Madonna has songs above 100M every decade since she started out, she's also about to have her first 1b song on Spotify Edited October 7 by tiagol88 2 5

Considering Popular like an even slightly comparable to Believe is really a reach your honor. See now i know you're trolling: Quote After Cher's poorly received previous record It's a Man's World (1995), head of Warner Music UK Rob Dickins suggested that Cher record a dance album that could appeal to her gay audience. Cher expressed that she was not interested in dance music anymore because she thought it was not a genre with "real songs", leaving Dickins with the option of convincing her otherwise. At Warner's London office, Dickins bumped into songwriter Brian Higgins, who was asked to pitch songs for a Cher album. Three days later, a tape with sixteen of Higgins's songs arrived. "I lay on my bed and put the tape on and listened to every song. The ninth song was 'Believe'. I thought: 'Cher could do this chorus, especially the lyrics, with her private life the way it is. She's gone through all these things," Dickins said. When Dickins asked the songwriter to complete "Believe", the result was a "terrible" song that still needed extensive work.[4] Not only Cher had to be convinced to make dance music...she has been trying to reproduce this success for all her albums afterwards. Plus, Believe was literally the sound of that moment. It wasn't a Ray of Light moment where no mainstream act was making that type of music. About your second paragraph regarding Madonna, "she cater to no one" well...yeah? She's an artist. She does what she feels like doing. That's literally why Madonna is Madonna At least know your history before acting like a fool. You failed to understand both Madonna AND Cher lmao. Edited October 7 by tiagol88 1 5

dabunique Posted October 7 Posted October 7 i was actually very happy for Cher to gain such a huge hit at her age since we kno how ageist pop music can be for women over 40 but it sucks dat this was it for Cher and hasn't had a top 40 hit since u guys like to put Cher in this pedestal when she wasn't even da top b!tch of her decade like Madonna was for hers legends like Diana Ross, Donna Summer, and ONJ eclipsed her it was great after her success in movies she came back and had hits from late 80's to early 90's but after dat she was done 5

I LOVE Cher but I always find it so surprising how many albums she has released, and how many of them are actually successful. Some didn't even chart at all. She's a legend for sticking around and continuing. 4
