Material Girl has sores on streams !!

From the OCC:

 

By comaprison, Britney's Me Against The Music has 189,000 chart sales, including 5.2 million streams.

Up 5k from May 2020.

'Rebel Heart' is Gold! :cheer:

Smash hit album!!

 

 

Yes! Great to see :cheer:

Brilliant! I didn't realise it was close to achieving that. :o

I've realised I missed out a position in the chart run for 'Madame X' - it spent a week at #148 before falling out of the chart. I guess 7 weeks is better than 6 weeks. :lol:

 

The album appeared in the midweeks in its eighth week but unfortunately couldn't hold onto an official placing (it was #162 with 653 copies on the Thursday update, having sold 130 copies on Wednesday). I reckon it only just missed out on the Top 200 (I don't know what the #200 sold that week, but it sold 763 copies the week after). On the sales-only chart, it was #43 (a non-mover from the week previously).

 

It then just snuck in at #196 on the next Monday update, but fell out by the next day. It #55 on the sales-only chart that week.

 

It re-appeared at #196 again on the midweeks of Tuesday 29th October (didn't get the full Top 200 update on the Monday) which I think was due to a limited vinyl release or something. It was #77 on the sales-only chart that week.

It had sold about 42k by mid-August and I estimate its total to have been nearly 50k by the end of 2019.

Thanks for the estimate! I think I’ve been over-estimating it’s weekly sales, gonna take longer to get that certification than I’d been hoping. Oh well, before the end of the decade definitely :P

 

Oh and that re-entry in October would’ve been when HMV sold the vinyl for half price I’m sure, that’s when I bought it

'The Immaculate Collection' fell out of the Top 200 two weeks ago after 35 consecutive weeks. Its total currently stands at 763 weeks. I'm sure it'll be back in by January.

Using previous pieces of info to work out monthly averages, this is what I estimate Madonna's Top 20 to look like currently:

 

01. 1,039,000 Into the Groove

02. 985,000 Like a Virgin

04. 974,000 Holiday

03. 948,000 Like a Prayer

05. 831,000 Crazy for You

06. 794,000 Hung Up

07. 762,000 Papa Don't Preach

08. 716,000 Vogue

09. 693,000 4 Minutes

10. 652,000 True Blue

 

11. 631,000 Frozen

12. 599,000 La Isla Bonita

13. 566,000 Material Girl

14. 565,000 Beautiful Stranger

15. 475,000 Music

16. 424,000 American Pie

17. 420,000 Who's That Girl?

18. 401,000 Borderline

19. 391,000 Don't Cry for Me Argentina

20. 361,000 Ray of Light

thanks Liam love these updates

No problem! It'll be great to see Madonna with 4 million sellers after so long with having none at all!

^ agreed

 

all her massive sellers released during slow sale climates

Thanks for the update Liam! Great that she'll have 4 million sellers soonish.

'The Immaculate Collection' re-enters at #100 on the download chart. It re-entered the official chart on the w/e 7th January and has been climbing gradually closer to the Top 100:

A lovely run in 2021 so far and great to see it having continued life. It's going to be a continued trickle seller forever more now with streaming~

Madonna has only 2 hits that peaked at number 11 in the UK.

 

One More Chance and Love Profusion

 

I am not a huge fan of either track but was wondering if they were close to making the top 10?

'Love Profusion' was 2k behind #10, not sure about 'One More Chance' but I think it could have been a similar gap.

An update, based on the yearly averages given last August:

 

01 1,018,000 Into the Groove

02 962,000 Like a Virgin

03 950,000 Holiday

04 909,000 Like a Prayer

05 815,000 Crazy for You

06 773,000 Hung Up

07 748,000 Papa Don't Preach

08 695,000 Vogue

09 669,000 4 Minutes

10 641,000 True Blue

 

11 621,000 Frozen

12 582,000 La Isla Bonita

13 562,000 Beautiful Stranger

14 537,000 Material Girl

15 463,000 Music

16 419,000 American Pie

17 418,000 Who's That Girl?

18 391,000 Borderline

19 386,000 Don't Cry For Me Argentina

20 352,000 Ray of Light

 

Finally Madonna has a million 'seller'! She's on track to have four of them by Autumn 2021 ('Like a Virgin' is about 10 months away, 15 months for 'Holiday' and 16 months for 'Like a Prayer').

 

 

Madonna's sales always shock me I mean she has more career defining songs than any other female artist in history you would have thought Like a prayer, Vogue, Hung up, Frozen, Into the groove and Papa don't preach were million sellers back in the day... When you look at how many million sellers Rihanna achieved for example in contrast!?!?

The 'Frozen' remix EP charts on the album download chart, debuting at #50. Not sure how many sales that is, might be over 100?

 

'The Immaculate Collection' also re-enters at #97.
