Gone Gone Gone is definitely the highlight, otherwise this feels like a bit of a superfluous release. It’s more a compilation of random remixes (most/all? of which were already available) than feeling like a cohesive remix album. At 8 tracks it’s really more of an EP than an album, like the American Life one for RSD. I’m happy to get anything new M-related don’t get me wrong, and if it wasn’t named “Veronica Electronica” I’m sure expectations wouldn’t have been so high, but it feels like a bit of a wasted concept.

I listened to this earlier and won't be going back to it.

It's not that I don't like remix projects - You Can Dance and Finally Enough Love were great - but this is just 7 not very good remixes and a demo at the end.

I don't like remixes that cut out half of the lyrics or that take the song too far away from the original.

With this album, it felt at times like I was listening to faceless dance music with a few Madonna vocals chucked over the top now and again.

Certainly something that I could have happily skipped over.

I feel like the skin remix is the highlight!!

Its a nice project mix of songs for me when u want to play Madonna but your friends don't want you too!

My vinyl come it really is stunning and i was lucky enough to get a lithograph ♥️

Starts off at #8 in the midweeks. Nice start but until we know sales I wouldn't count on it staying Top 40 just yet.

In the week Madonna celebrates the 40th anniversary of her first-ever UK Number 1 single Into the Groove, ‘lost’ remix album Veronica Electronica (8) could earn the pop icon a 24th Top 10 album. Originally intended as a companion LP to 1998 chart-topper Ray of Light, Veronica Electronica finally received its official release last week.

'Definitely Maybe' by Oasis is just below Madonna at #9 and had sold 3,180 at this point last week, so I think we can assume about 3k sales for Madonna. That would be enough to just stay Top 40 last week.

Edit: sales confirmed as 3,529 from Music Week!

That is very good sales for one VINYL!

If she doesn't sell a single extra copy, last week that sale would have got her #30 or #31 which is really above what I would have expected from this album.

Really quite impressive!

That's really good! Maybe my prediction of #25 in the other thread might be about accurate then?

They're very encouraging sales for moving forward with similar releases - 'Bedtime Stories: The Untold Chapter' could end up doing really well for her if it does indeed include mostly demos (assuming it still ends up getting a release).

I listened to the album in full today and I really enjoyed it! I have to disagree with comments in this thread because I thought it was a cohesive listen with well-considered choices of remixes. Whilst 'Finally Enough Love' favoured a more commercial sound, the remixes here are darker and compliment the mood of the original album. 'Gone Gone Gone' is really sticking with me now, love the vocals!

I was expecting the album to be Top 5 today as i knew sales of an album like this would be front loaded, i know most of her sales are probably got now for this week but it should pick up a few more which might help it stay top 30.

Decent debut although I can’t see it adding much as the vinyl is out of stock in most places annoyingly

#11 on today's update - really good hold! I did hear that there was some delivery delays so that may explain matters.

I got my copy in HMV yesterday, my impact!

Could be on for top 20 if it's lucky?

Clearly no Madonna stans work for the OCC with the lack of midweek data coming out ☹️
