craig 680 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Good a--lysis: http://www.showbiz411.com/2015/03/17/charts-madonna-misses-number-1-for-first-time-since-1998-as-empire-scores-a-victorySome of Madonna’s sales will come from digital copies of “Rebel Heart” that came with concert tickets. But I’m told by various sources that those copies are not a big factor, not anything like they were two years ago for “MDNA.” ...What I do hear is that next week, Madonna could have a drop similar — around 70%–to her record breaking snap in 2013. Even though Madonna will appear on the “Ellen” show from today through Friday, “Empire” has the momentum. They also have a two hour season finale on Wednesday night that should go through the roof.On the other hand, Madonna’s concert tickets are where the meat and potatoes are for the Material Woman. And there, she’s doing fine.But what’s happened to Madonna is not new. Her album sales have been in decline for over a decade. She is no different than any other legacy artist trying to sell new music, from Pink Floyd to Mariah Carey to Jennifer Lopez and so on. Teens drive album sales, and they don’t want even the best music from people older than their parents. Barbra Streisand and Tony Bennett are the exceptions. I wish it were otherwise. But radio doesn’t want “old” voices, so there’ s no place to promote this stuff. Sirius XM satellite radio is pretty much the only safe haven for classic artists to showcase new work. And legacy fans pretty much just want the Hits. Over and over. It’s a shame. Maybe this is why Billy Joel shut down writing new music 20 years ago.What should Madonna do? Her next record should get younger artists to join her in re-recording hits in duets. This usually works like a charm.PS I love “Ellen,” but the idea of Madonna doing it. She must be biting her tongue the whole time. Young mothers and housewives are not her scene. I hope it helps. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psychedelic 1,098 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Mess at the people calling this a flop and throwing the word karma around though Let's see where Gaga will be 9 albums from nowCongrats Madge This! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psychedelic 1,098 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 It might be a slow burner, she's really into the promo and luckily Madonna isn't the type that lets this get to her, so she'll carry on with it and probably pull it up, instead of giving up on it... if you know what I mean Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LORD GAGA 1,271 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 It might be a slow burner, she's really into the promo and luckily Madonna isn't the type that lets this get to her, so she'll carry on with it and probably pull it up, instead of giving up on it... if you know what I mean Do you mean like MDNA? And i hope I'm wrong, but by the looks of things and according to next weeks sales predictions the album is set to fall dramatically She may however as you say keep going with it and who knows maybe we'll be surprised Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 She's just getting older. Younger generations aren't interested in her new music like they might be in her old classic stuff. That's just how it goes. Prince released a new album last year and you didn't hear **** about it, but it doesn't matter because he's already made his impact on the world, just like Madonna. Who cares where it debuts anymore, she's still a legend. I hope she keeps making music until she's tired of it. She's still got it though, and I would love to see her on this tour.

Give up Madonna! well, it might be boring for you but not for others and she's definitely not boring overall whatsoever when she gets the attention of pressed people on everything she does, so they can post like maniacs stupid things about her Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is a fighter by action, not by words! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is a fighter by action, not by words! I think the problem is that Madonna cares too much about those things because the music sounds manipulated as if they are geared towards attempting to be a 'hit' which is the worst thing you could do. Madonna has always cared about charting otherwise features like Nicki Minaj, PSY etc wouldn't have happened. But only time will tell, we'll see how far this album run goes, she might be able to make a go of it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
