December 31, 20222 yr It’s not a very good song so only likely to appeal to her hardcore fan base. I think this is kind of opposite - not really her fans' cup of tea but could work for general public.
December 31, 20222 yr That's how I feel about it too, it's definitely not something that's going to be appealing to her hardcore fans... and it may prove that it does not appeal to anyone else either but I could potentially see it being better received than much of her more recent material.
December 31, 20222 yr I mean it’s done the best of any of her recent releases so I’d say it does appeal to the general public at least a little, not expecting it to have longevity or anything without proper promotion
January 1, 20232 yr 140k (demo) and 96k (sped-up) on Spotify after day 1, fairly good, as it's not probably on any playlist.
January 2, 20232 yr Author I think that this getting to #1 on iTunes UK, whether that means anything towards the chart or not and whether it was at a quiet time of not, is the win here. I don't think I expected it to manage to do that. It may ne dropping now, but it stuck around longer than a lot of what Madonna has released recently. Now, if it picks up on streaming - which is unlikely - or whether it has any chance of charting is just a bonus.

January 5, 20232 yr I have a feeling this is actually going to do fairly well on Spotify. Not well enough to chart anywhere officially but ticking 100k streams/day for a long time.
January 6, 20232 yr Author I like the sped up one. It could do with being a bit shorter though! I always expect it to be ending at one point near the end and then it starts back up for about 30 seconds.
