So I just heard Hot Sauce. I'm glad I didn't buy a whole album just for that song on iKoons

I’ve only listened to Hot Sauce once and lets just say if this is what the 8 leftover tracks sound like, I can live without them.

I think that's ****ing awesome. It's a spectacular album. Good for Madonna.

feel like melodies & beats of most songs on the album are pretty similar. i could almost view the tracks as one continuous, long-form dance mix.

overall, its a decent album, but not mind-blowing (imo)

that being said shes MADONNA and she deserves this success, and honestly even better. good for her! <3

Madame X only spent two weeks on the charts in 2019. Streaming is stronger for her this time, so the 2nd week drop might not be as big. But the physical sales are mostly done, I think and they also already did a lot of digital variants. There aren't many options left to keep the sales alive in order to hold in the charts.

But honestly I thought there was more hype around this release overall. I was assuming like 200k at least first week. Maybe it was just in my social media bubble that made this release seem bigger...

Wow good for her.

HDD has updated the forecast to 133k (114k pure)

Gonna keep it on replay on Spotify and maybe buy one of the vinyls for week 2. 
 

Bring Your Love and Danceteria are playing constantly at the gay clubs and people are loving it.

You just say anything don't you?

Good for her! It is amazing to see a woman whose debut was in the 80s score another #1
