Why did this bop by Madonna flop?

No offense but the production on Ghosttown is basic and the auto-tuned vocals sound cheesy and distract from the entirety of the track. :shrug:

American radio has hated her since American Life, Hung Up is the only solo hit she has had since then. And then she didn't do that much promotion for it. Plus at this point ,simply because who she is, people don't really take her seriously, they just think she is some old has-been trying to cling to her fame.

Madonna's vocals on her tracks become more grating and auto-tuned with each project.  She literally sounds like she gave up trying to lay down a decent vocal and phones it in knowing that it'll all be auto-tuned in the end.  I think this is part of why so many of her songs have flopped in the last 7 or 8 years.  Her voice just sounds unpleasant.  Even artists that don't have great voices are able to make their voice sound decent via more effort and more subtle auto-tune/production techniques.  Taylor Swift is one example.  She doesn't have a great live voice but is able to sound pretty good in the studio without super obvious auto-tune.

Whispering

It was the second single, after a debut single that didn't do well and from an album that wasn't selling well.

The song never caught on with streaming or on iTunes. There really was no incentive for radio stations to pick it up of play it much.

When I first heard Rebel Heart I instantly loved this song and thought it had the potential to be a big hit for her.   Not sure why it wasn't playing on radio :(

This is beautiful, such a meaningful, like a ROL Madonna, I think the GP wanted something like an old Madonna but they got the llyrics right but not the bass on some songs

What About Us

I love Ghosttown, but my favorite bops from Rebel Heart are Graffiti Heart, Bitch I'm Madonna, Living For Love and Illuminati.

Promise I'll always be there. Promise I'll be the cure.

Radio won't play her songs, so people won't hear the song, so no one buys the song.

There is always YouTube and streaming. It's was a failure there too.
