Yep. Bit of an odd time release. Wonder why they didn't just release at midnight like everyone else does

I am tempted to stay awake but also - I am old and need sleep

I think it’s so every country gets the song at the exact same time rather than midnight in the respective time zone.

Wow not Madonna challenging for another real smash hit again! #1 would be out of this world, especially after not managing to crack a top 10 in the 10s decade.

Popular (The Weeknd, Playboi Carti and Madonna song) hit Top10 in 2024

That's the 20s decade, 10s is from 2010-2020. Such a shame Celebration wasn't a 2010 release rather than 2009 might have gotten her a top 10 in that decade and not ruined her streak.

A shame she released a dud in Give Me All Your Lovin’ which killed her support!

SO EXCITED FOR THIS PLEASE BE A BANGER

I’ll be staying up to listen at 11. Probably the first time I’ve ever anticipated a Madonna track this much !

I am VERY excited for this and I love seeing the hype in here but I hope some of you have your expectations tempered A LITTLE.

I'd LOVE Madonna to get a #1 in 2026 as much as the next guy but even if this just gets her a top 40, it genuinely is a success considering she hasn't had one as a lead artist since 2014.

Completely agree with this.

My chart expectations are low, I just hope the public perception of Madonna improves and more respect is put on her name if the song does half decently!

Yeah, that was a shame really. Wasn't there this thing about it not being allowed to chart for a week or so which cost it a top 15 (at least) position?

I was so shocked when Radio 1 dumped her at that point, I thought she was powerful and untouchable enough that they wouldn't do that... although there was this shift around 2010/2011 where they stopped supporting people like Kylie, Britney, Christina etc.

This is very exciting. Ready for a Me Against the Music-esque gay sensation.

It’s like 2003 all over again I love it

Having Sabrina on it pretty much guarantees it will do well in the charts i think.

What was she number 1 with in 2014 or am I missing something 🤔

Last time she had a Top 40 as lead artist.

He’s referring to the last Top 40 (which was 2015 but the song was released in 2014 for everywhere but the UK which were still holding back releases at that time).

One hour to go!

Yeah something to do with it being available as part of the album pre-order I think so even downloads of the song itself didn’t count.

I remember there was a big deal about the exclusive first play from Capital (think it was connected to the radio deal she had for it in America) but the song really didn’t connect. It came across as a bit of a joke to all my school friends compared to ‘4 Minutes’ which was cool to like.

Also agree that there was a big turning point at the turn of the 2010s when it came to radio and playing certain artists. Feel like it was when Galaxy FM (remember that?) turned into Captial FM.

It's available on Apple Music already!
