JusKeepBreathin 19,311 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 In a trend that music sources say is becoming increasingly common— only 34,000 of the 86,000 were traditional Week 1 sales. The remaining 52,000 albums were disbursed directly to fans either through pre-orders, and only counted after the album’s release, or as complimentary CDs for buyers of tickets to Madonna’s forthcoming “Madame X” tour. This set up a glaring discrepancy for “Madame X’s” second week on the charts, which kicked off on June 21. BuzzAngle recorded a mere 4,000 sales that week — down 95%. https://nypost.com/2019/07/01/madonnas-madame-x-sales-tail-off-after-concert-promo/amp/ "Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity." -Martin Luther King Jr. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harris Walz 2024 1,451 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Music is more than sales. It's about expression. I hope she continues to express herself through her videos and tour. She's made her money for herself and her label. Even Gaga had to pay for the Guy video. I see Madonna first and foremost as a survivor. Low sales won't keep her from saying what she wants to say Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glamourpuss 29,062 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 I feel bad for her. I do think the music is poor (apart from God Control) but she had an artistic vision for this era and it's like people can't appreciate that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bling 31,284 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 This is really unfortunate considering all the work and thought that went into this album. I saw a mini documentary on it and how it came to be. She's inspired by so many things. Madame X's messages, imagery, production, and concept is miles ahead of many better selling albums this year... discord.gg/hausofmayhem 1 Year and 1000+ Members!

Delusional Aura 5,129 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Madonna needs to come out with a killer album that will have the girls shook to their core, snatch their weaves and grammys then retire while she's on top. I hate seeing such iconic women just wither away slowly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate seeing such iconic women just wither away slowly. We all know now, considering her track record in the last 20 years, that's she'll never be able to reach any significant heights anymore. I'm talking about good music here btw. She still had 3.5 successful albums in the last 20 years Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regina George 59,387 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 This is still kinda amazing for a person who's been doing this for like 40 years.. She is not your trendy pop girl anymore.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
