As I said in the VMA thread, I was at the gym waiting for it to air and then it finally aired. Whoever controls the TV's at the gym switched the channels literally right after Madonna's performance ended. Not during, not at the start, right when it finished. And people at my job were talking about her performance. So yes, people were watching for her. Or at least were watching football, saw she was performing, were intrigued and watched the whole performance, and then changed the channel. She might get a lot of flack, but the name MADONNA will always carry weight. Hence the record breaking performance in Brazil two years ago.

The sad thing is that I could see her releasing Electric Youth right now at 37, where Debbie was like 18

Not too much on Debbie, she wrote AND produced all her music when she was a teenager.

No sh*t b*tch, doesn't change the fact that her pushing SIGNED copies of an album at a cheap price is obviously going to drive up album sales Still doesn't change the fact that the album plummeted quickly, and still would've if the physicals were out the first week. She would've had a bigger first week, but the album would've fizzled rather than going from 74-1

I know this is a pathetic troll thread, but whatever. A lot of Madonna's success was spread throughout non studio album releases such as Who's That Girl, I'm Breathless, The Immaculate Collection, Something to Remember, Evita, etc. So, when you look at just her studio albums such as the drop in commercial success from Like a Prayer to Erotica, that makes it seem like a sharp decline. But when you look at the whole picture, you have the 3x Platinum I'm Breathless in between, and the 11x Platinum The Immaculate Collection, on top of the smash #1 hits such as Vogue & Justify My Love. You also have to remember, Madonna's commercial success took some hits due to controversy, not because bad music or because the public was sick of her (ARTPOP, Bionic, Witness). Erotica underperformed due to controversy, yet the $50 Sex Book sold like 750,000 copies in it's first week, the singles were still hits, and the album still went double platinum and spend 53 weeks on the Billboard 200, at a time where huge massive albums spent like only 80 weeks on the charts, so it did pretty well. Plus, she broke through at 24 years old, while Taylor was 16. Madonna was already being called a grandma at 34 years old when she released Erotica. Nowadays, you have artist like Beyoncé, Gaga, Taylor, and Katy who are already or pushing 40 and nobody calls them old. Lastly, Taylor pushes 100 variants of each album to propel her to massive album sales. Unlike back then, Madonna only released 1 version, and that's it. Not saying Taylor isn't huge, she obviously is, but the last album she released organically was Evermore, and that one sold 329,000 copies. Yes the album spent multiple weeks at #1, but that's because she kept releasing variants strategically. The album was literally down to #74, but vaulted to #1 because of the autographed vinyl & CD releases

That's why it's #1 on streaming Nobody gives af about who you know

Hii @GRETCHEN Is there a way for the charts to sync across all devices? For example, all my charts are on my phone, but when I log in through my computer, they're not there.

These titles are crazy

Let's go Ella

This plus maybe the album cover turned people off? Not sure as I was only 4 years old when Hard Candy came out. Can someone confirm?

I haven't done this since Good For The Soul got eliminated Keep: School Off: Love Sensation

Totally, I re-listened to some of her songs a few days ago and was shocked at how AC-leaning they were. Even the chorus of "So What" barely has any guitars.
