Saint Chris 37 Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 I think it's also important to note that Madonna even at her peak was never really a singles artist as the distribution of singles was really different back then, she's always done well with album sales tho. I really hope she can find some form of acclaim with this album, it's what the grandma of pop music deserves Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it’s true, radios won’t play her music, or at least won’t add the songs to their playlists, and the younger generation mostly aren’t interested.

I thought Ghosttown would smash a few years ago but 4minutes was the last M song to get radio play. Another thing I wanna say real quick is a lot of hit songs are terrible, in my opinion at least, and they get tons of play. TSwifts new song is really bad to my ears and sounds like it was on sesame street, but its getting tons of radio play. SO "make better music" isn't really the answer. Radio deals and payola help a lot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madonna back in the day would have charted with all of her singles from RH. Heck Ghosttown would have been no 1. I mean even Britney and Christina are seen as past it now..Heck Katy Perry is in Danger. Ageism is real and its very very sad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
