Forbes: Madonna's New Album Is Already A Commercial Flop

[PopBitch 1,218]

The guy on Forbes hates Madonna and never misses a chance to diss her or twist things.  The album isn't a hit, but Forbes bashing her during album eras is nothing new.  They troll her, kind of like Gaga was being trolled by that one publication I can't remember the name of.

Why does this site say that thy agree with articles about Gaga "flopping" but when it's Madonna it's flamebait and we're being haters. The numbers are NOT good for someone like Madonna, and if Gaga got called out, then Madge should too.

I don't think any kind of hit is going to happen this era. Her album sales aren't going to justify pushing a third single with much financial backing, after the first two singles flopped. 

Rebel Heart debuted at number two behind an album that will not end up being the worldwide  top selling CD, like Titanic (that beat out Ray of Light) was. That soundtrack ended up being in the top 25 best selling albums of all time. Ray of Light was number two, because it was released the same week as a worldwide smash. ROL went on to have hit songs and to sell consistently. The same is not true for RH. That's the difference behind these number two positions....one was a temporary victim of poor timing, and one is a "flop" that is highly unlikely to recover. 

​Thanks for explaining. It's a real shame.

Don't read your publicity.  Weigh it.

This, all the way

[Ferrer Zorola 3,966]

Do you think there's going to be a third single?

one thing i realize that all you  guys are saying is that "oh its madonna she's already rich" "she's already a legend" "she doesnt need #1's"

but let me rewind to ARTPOP era when the same people here who claim to be gaga fans were bashing ARTPOP, calling it a flop etc.... & when people said oh it's gaga she doesnt need # 1's, she's becoming a legend, she's alreadyyy rich they got dragged!

smh make your mind up people.... OH & REMEMBER THIS ICONIC PHRASE...

They used the word "flop". ARTPOP's impact.

The tag should be Bling News not Music News by the way.

​the word "flop" is a real term used for decades

So can it be argued that the leaks really hurt her?

​That's a difficult argument to defend.

[LoveandMagic 1,731]

​That's a difficult argument to defend.

​Well, I've heard some that have said that the time between the leaks and the album release really hurt her. If people already have a product for free, some may choose not to buy. What do you say?
