She really loved CS because she even performed it at 3 tours in a row. Well 4 Minutes was safer choice after all 

Candy Shop

Human Nature

 

I don't know what it is but Madonna is obsessed with these two.

[BrokenMachine]

Absolutely not. It was already a nightmare when she kept adding it to her tours 

[ArtForFreedom]

yes

Came for the 50 Cent classique

So much nostalgia for the spring of 08. I had Hard Candy and E=MC2 on HEAVY rotation. It was heavenly.

Such amazing time

I've never undestood the hype over this song, the Madonna stans always wet their panties when they talk about it  

 

Anyway, to answer the question, no.

It has to do with the history of the song. 

 

Madonna originally wanted it as the first single, but Warner said no, and pushed for 4 Minutes.

 

After that, she has been slapping it in every single tour (with the exception of MXT and Celebration). 

 

She absolutely loves the song. 

[Loca]

Any Madonna song deserves more success than Cruel Summer.

 

But yes, especially those from Hard Candy. 

[SlowGinFizzzz]

Honestly yes! And Miles Away too while we're at it. 

[Loca]

Move your body, catch me from across the floor
Everybody's watchin', but I just wanna give you more
Don't care 'bout nothin', I've fallen for your love in the worst way

So move closer, cause I can feel your body rise
The heat from you and I just had to fantasize
We're all alone now and I don't care what people have to say

You don't have to be beautiful to be understood
You don't have to be rich and famous to be good
You just gotta give more more more than you ever have before
And you gotta move fast fast fast if you want this good thing to last

Let's dance tonight, dance tonight
And prove I'll save the world
And we'll hold hands tonight, hands tonight
I'm just a boy, you're just a girl
I wanna dance tonight, dance tonight
Don't need no Diamonds and Pearls
So take a chance tonight, chance tonight
Let's prove ourselves to the world

Do it, do it, let me turn you on
Let the music pull you through it 'til the break of dawn
Do it, do it, while the night is young
Let the music pull you through it 'til the lights go on

Of all the Madonna songs THIS is the one you chose? I actually like the song but she has others that deserve it more. 

[reymiu]

I think you misspelt "Beat Goes On"

Can someone post that story of her hosting the Hard Candy listening party where she made everyone vote between Candy Shop and 4 Minutes for the lead single, and then got mad because 4 Minutes got the better reception? 

 

She really lives in the future 

Quote

 

The room was decked out in a candy theme, champagne was being served, candy everywhere you look for everyone. The conference room it was held in was totally transformed.

There were red and white stripes & stools as the theme plus like colored bricks and lots of candy all over.

Madonna dictated what tracks would be played and specifically said they were not being played in any order.

She said she had just finished mixing the album a few days ago.

Madonna played "Candyshop," then "4 Minutes To Save The World" first. She then had a vote on which one would be the first single. She said many times throughout the session that the first single has yet ot be decided.

She is all about "Candy Shop" and looked upset and surprised there was a better reaction to "4 Minutes To Save The World".

Omg yes, that's the one I was talking about, thanks 

[IBeMe]

is this the song she says "my bussy is clean" and then she talks about it being sticky or something? If yes, then that song should have been the 2nd single from Hard Candy. That sound in 2008 was everywhere and she would have had another hit instead of just 4 Minutes carrying the entire album...

that should have been the 3rd single too tbh.

 

1) 4 Minutes

2) Candy Shop

3) Beat Goes On

4) Give it to Me or Miles Away

 

She would have easily gotten 3 top 10s from this era and Beat Goes On may have actually gone #1. While the urban pop vibe was dying a little by 2009 ish which is when that song would have been a single , Kanye was MASSIVE and could have helped make it huge too. 

 

I imagine the peaks being like: 

 

4 Minutes - #3

Candy Shop - #8

Beat Goes On - #1 (1 week)

Miles Away or Give it to Me - peak in the top 30 somewhere

This is so iconic and absolutely must make the biopic. I can't begin to imagine the death stares attendees were getting 

 

At this point, this song deserves legendary status alongside her other hits just for the kiis it's given us over the years. The irony of it all is that I absolutely LOVED the demo when it leaked but figured it was just that...a demo...and would get a much needed production and vocals upgrade. And, well...THAT didn't happen...

She should have released different singles for different regions IMO

 

I get why she released Give It 2 Me, it was a dance song that appealed to Confessions fans. And it did well in Europe and Latin America too

 

However she really should have pushed Beat Goes On in North America instead

 

1st single - 4 Minutes

2nd single - Beat Goes On (US) + Give It 2 Me (International)

3rd single - Devil Wouldn't Recognize You

4th single - Candy Shop

5th single - Incredible (strictly for dance club)
