American Pie def helped

Die Another Day (Warner Records) – Madonna (2002)

Chart Peak: No.3

Weeks in Top 100: 17

Sales: 225,936

From Music Week. It passed 200k in September 2015 so is shifting about 500 a month.

That’s a nice update !!

Nice update. Wonder if Bond tracks get a boost when a new one is released.

The films are on itv 2 repeatedly which helps I guess .

'Give It 2 Me' is finally Silver!! :cheer:

 

Only 30k in over 9 years though, eek.

Deserved more!

Is a banger

Give it 2 me suffers because it was left of Celebration.

That's true. Definitely should have been on there, strange how Miles Away made the cut over it.

Yeah I've never got how Miles Away made it over so many of her hits...

Give It 2 Me is still a smash tbh!

 

Being left off what I presume is her album with most streams though is a bit wtf though especially when some songs made it what are less known to the GP / done worse commercially.

 

I really fancied her in the video for this back when I was 13 :lol: :lol: that definitely got a few strange comments from people in school when I’d tell them she was my crush.

^ I remember singing the hook to myself at school and one of my friends was like "wtf you like Madonna?!". This being off the back of a huge #1 hit too!

The Immaculate Collection is up to #82 on today's midweek update! It was last Top 100 a year ago and it's on track to appear at its highest position since 2008!

 

2020 chart run:

 

RE: 168-183-173-174 (fifty first entry: 27/02/20) 4w

The greatest hits albums are back in force on the album chart. Immaculate collection is always a bigger draw for madonna than celebration.

Actually, Celebration is typically the go-to version. It had a fairly long chart run in 2018 (including a peak of #59 the month of Madonna's 60th) and in 2019 for the second half of the year. The Immaculate Collection did have a decent run in early 2019 (including a peak of #84). Strangely, it was a random release titled The Very Best of Madonna: Radio Waves 1984-1995 that got the streaming boost from the release of 'Medellin' and Madame X.

 

Celebration is generally the most popular physically since it gets all the streams, but The Immaculate Collection achieves higher physical sales whenever it is ahead. The Immaculate Collection has appeared in the sales chart but not the streaming chart since 2018, whilst Celebration has appeared in the streaming chart but not the sales chart since 2018.

Great to see it appearing and decently too! Is it just because people are streaming back catalogues while in lockdown?

Sales are up week-on-week for a lot of these compilation albums so lockdown is changing people's listening habits, but lack of physicals and new releases will push them further up the charts too. I notice it's up to #60 on iTunes too, so maybe it's discounted.

i have a question regarding spotify streams in the UK album chart.

do the separated streams of for example "Like A Prayer" count towards their respective releases or only one in particular? , for example the album version has 40m , TIC version 3m and the Celebration version 125m.

i remebered reading that in the US the record labels has to choose if the streams of a song will contribute to their parent album or a compilation.

I know that a song can benefit both the parent album and the highest physically bought compilation, but I don't know what happens if said song is slightly different and has its streams counted separately, like with 'Like a Prayer'. All versions would be combined when it came to compiling the singles chart, so maybe the same happens with the albums? I'm not too sure.
