Great for "Hung Up". Had it been released in 2009-2013 or 1997-2001 with the amount of airplay it had, it could have been a million seller.
But had it been released in the last few years, it wouldn't have had that much airplay...

I'm very surprised that Vogue is as low as #7. :o

I find 'Vogue' very overrated, 'La Isla Bonita' has always been her best imo :wub: so summery.

 

I imagine 'Crazy For You' to be quite high for a non-number one.

Same with "Like A Virgin".

'Crazy For You' was released twice and got to #2 both times, that would be very high.

 

Shame 'Sorry' is last, and that 'True Blue' being such a nothing song is that high.

4 Minutes deserves to be top, her best song. Mainly down to Trousersnake though.

Sales given for who's that girl are almost 27k less than when they gave it in August 08. La Isla Bonita is also almost 12k lower than then.

I agree that hung up would have prob been a million sellar if it wasn't released in 2005.

 

It's a shame the article didn't give extra info for crazy for you and like a virgin, like it did with beautiful stranger.

 

True Blue really suffers for not ever being featured on any greatest hits album .

Interesting sales. I know it's been said plenty of times before but it's criminal that Madonna has never had a UK million selling single.
I thought alot of those songs would have sold more - suppose it depends when its released!

Wut, why are the sales so low? Lower than Rihanna!

 

Some of these sales are Girls Aloud-esque :S

It's probably because she had a lot of her bigger hits in climates where singles didn't sell as strongly as they do now.

 

However, those hits helped her sell shedloads of albums in a climate where album sales were stronger, and that's more important.
