OMG, lucky you!

MDNA sold 740,000 copies in it's first week of release! Not bad for an album with almost no promo!

[Smithy]

Madonna‘s “MDNA” album had the biggest second week drop in chart history last week, I am told. When all the numbers are in on Tuesday night, “MDNA” will have fallen from number 1 by 88%–from 359,000 copies in its first week to roughly 46,000 the second week. Wow. The first week’s sales, as I revealed exclusively (and then the New York Post lifted it from us), most of Madonna’s first week sales were CDs that were included in the sale of concert tickets. That promotion artificially inflated Madonna’s numbers, putting her first before Lionel Richie and his “Tuskegee” album. In the second week, Richie fell only 47% and sold about 110,000 albums–which is normal. “Tuskegee” will now finish much higher than “MDNA.” I do think that all the people involved in the Madonna ticket-CD deal should apologize to Richie for denying him his rightful place at number 1, starting with Billboard and SoundScan. But Richie’s consolation is that he has a major hit, while “MDNA” is a total dud. So far, “MDNA” has not produced anything like a hit single either, no radio play or anything to provide organic promotion

3 words = Lack Of Promo. Nothing else.

Didn't Christina's Bionic fall from #1 to #40 or something?

[Smithy]

#27 but that was in the UK not the US

oooooh.. I didnt really read the first bit through properly

[Harry!]

Basically if M don't do any promo of her album this thread is going to be pretty unactive until July (When I see her live) which is a huge shame!

I think he meant she topped the charts in 4 different decades. So 80's, 90's, 00's & 10's.

In the UK, by this rate NEVER! M is in full tour mode so chances of a single in the UK would be slim. With no promo = flop.

[Harry!]

Madonna will be on Daybreak and Lorraine on Friday in a prerecorded interview. This will be her only UK TV promo as she will be on her MDNA Tour. Exciting!

[Harry!]

Don't forget to catch Madonna on Daybreak tomorrow from 6am. The MDNA Tour has already grossed over 250 million dollars in pre-ticket sales!

[Saph]

I recorded Daybreak and Lorraine instead of getting up to watch it and it was a good job I did as they managed to show a 5 minute interview spread out over 3 and a half hours and they even repeated parts of the interview ..so all in all.. what could have been a nice 5 minute interview turned in to 3 hours and 25 minutes of me fast forwarding

It was a good interview though, she seemed less intimidating than on Graham Norton

[Harry!]

It was a great interview (I have only watched her Daybreak interview as of posting) and she looked beautiful. You can tell how much pressure she has been over the last few months.

[Harry!]

30 Years ago today Madonna began in the music world with the release of the song Everybody. Listen to a part of history below.

No but I wish I did, that looks amazing!

Turn Up the Radio is the third single, it'll sadly probably flop but hopefully we'll at least get to see a video made for it.

If TUTR flops its her own fault for thinking she's too big to do promo anymore tbh

[Harry!]

"We can reveal that the four performances that will be filmed are “Turn up the Radio,” “Love Spent,” “Physical Attraction,” and “Music.” The performance of “Turn up the Radio” or “Love Spent” will likely be released as Madonna’s next music video. From her Tel Aviv show - May 31."

This is just a rumor.

So she's just gonna release a concert performance then instead of doing an actual video? She needs to wake up and realise that an album needs promo, and that just having her name plastered on it isn't going to make it walk off the shelves.
