Jokes aside, this is what I think it is. People just search 'popular' in Spotify/Apple music/whatever and when that one pops up they listen to it out of curiosity or click the wrong one

That and the fact that there are like a million different versions of Wicked's Popular

because streaming is dominated by younger generations, who aren't really into madonna as much as previous generations who all would have bought her music way back then

but this also works both ways, cus these new generation streaming artists will never be able to outsell the likes of madonna as sales continue to die lol

MJ has a couple billion songs

Billie Jean is about to hit 2 billion  

I don't like her but she definitely should have at least one. Seems like a management failure more than anything but idk.

MJ has also had a few songs go viral on TikTok (Chicago, Heaven Can Wait, Earth Song) and the annual Thriller month boosts his numbers a lot.

I'm surprised none of her classics hit 1B. Even the Spice Girls did that a while ago with Wannabe!

This! Ok, most of her hits come from the 80s or the 90s but songs like Hung up still didn't reach that milestone? Something smells fishy  Literally everybody knows that song..

Honestly she deserves more much than this woth this catalogue but resent generation left her.. if only she returns to a quality album sound like ray of light n not trying to reach trends she will have one more chance to reach again the audience.. if she still cares

She does. It's called Popular

[JoeCool 204]

Big fan of hers but am old school when it comes to technology if you will...

 

Use mainly Amazon and YouTube to listen to her albums.  Even saw her debut record in 83' at an antique store recently and thought of buying.  But don't have the storage room 

 

Don't do Spotify

I think it’s a great retro 90’s RnB track. Abel and her compliment each other nicely on it. It was great tu hear her natural voice on it, without all the vocoder stuff.

 

Here’s my Mash Up Remix with Survival, the opener from her Bedtime Stories album from the early 90’s. 🫶🏼

I'll be petty and reply to hating Medonsters on social media that it's thanks to The Weekend since they do that to Gaga with DWAS

Is it because people confused it with the Popular from the Wicked soundtrack?

My first thought was this 

[ThisGuyTony 29,259]

What is this? She has 36 years worth of classics and hits and this random remix is what earns 1B first for her?!  

[Shakmasda 171]

Poor thing, accomplishing this with this song, not even her own. Oh well, how the mighty fall, wheee!

Once again proved that you’re never too old for anything 😎

It's a bop

love playing it on fornite's music mode lmao

but shocking none of her own classics/hits have reached 1b when many others have.
