November 26, 200816 yr As much as its Madonna's fault for never promoting, Warners takes most of the blame! They should promote their artists! Warner shave screwed M since 1998 anyway dumb f***s! Let this era go and may a new one begin with live nation!
November 26, 200816 yr I cant understand where the madonna fans are in realtion to buying the single i was sure her fanbase alone owuld see her top 15,,im not comparing kylie to madonna here but kylie;s last single the one reached number 36 but it wasnt phyisically released and the video was released a month later and it wasnt promoted,now likewise madonna hasnt promoted but the phyisical isout which is what i thought the fans would buy
November 27, 200816 yr Has is been played on Radio 1 at all or any radio station? Maybe if it had some airplay more people would be more interested
November 28, 200816 yr http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61VJEES0UuL._SS500_.jpg The Hard Candy era will be remembered for ghastly, ugly artwork more than for the music, I think. But this cover takes the biscuit - it's appalling - badly designed, crappily executed... just....rank. :puke2: :puke2: Plus, she should've released Devil Wouldn't Recognise You instead, complete with a gorgeous lavish video. Miles Away is such a humdrum, wishy-washy song.
November 28, 200816 yr As usual BLINDED FANATICS put the major blame on the record company, CERTAIN a new one will make all the difference as they could never except their infallible ICON is the one whose loosing the plot (after all they are the only ones that are not shocked by her chronic poor health, 'body dysmorphic disorder' body) - if the artist wont or cant promote its puts a huge dent in the Rec co.s potential, ESPECIALLY if it happens over the longterm eg When was the last time Madonna made a PROPER studio video with BUDGET FOR ALL the single releases from one album (or EVEN MORE THAN JUST THE FCUKING FIRST 2 !!!! ).... EXACTLY too busy satiating her BOTTOMLESS GREED (no she's never changed her priorities in life, it was just all empty rhetoric for attention as usual - she's alway loves TALKING BULL merely for shock and attention ) where all the money's at - TOURING. Well with over 50 single releases across 20 plus years it was going to happen sometime. I'm sure Madonna won't lose any sleep over it. She most certainly WONT because making the most $$$$$$$ has always been her top priority, so has getting attention but what better way of achieving BOTH THOSE than performing to an ARENA full of ADORING FANS and charging them $$$$$$$ for the priviledge :) ! Her fading star (since she depended alot on her sex appeal/physical appearance for promotion which has now gone (re youth of todays not delusional 55 year old queens) aswell as the CLASSIC TUNEFULL POP music instead of the desperate career resuscitation where the style of the music is now given more credence than the majority of actual tunes themselves - PATRICK LEONARD now there WAS a guy who could write TUNES for M!!! :-)) makes her pop stardom a poor 2nd now, surely the reason why she just doesn't care the way she used to about it yet when its comes to touring its shows she still has plenty of potential DRIVE she just can't be ARSED to promote her music anymore anywhere near the same extent anymore - touring is much more lucrative (but not so good at promoting albums (to new audience etc)) - the RECORD company doesn't GET (much of) a LOOK in! I cant understand where the madonna fans are in realtion to buying the single i was sure her fanbase alone owuld see her top 15,,im not comparing kylie to madonna here but kylie;s last single the one reached number 36 but it wasnt phyisically released and the video was released a month later and it wasnt promoted,now likewise madonna hasnt promoted but the phyisical isout which is what i thought the fans would buy Also that was Kylie's 4th single (and FORTH studio video - despite the fact Kylie was touring at the time) from 'X' . I expect this is peculiar to the UK but its the same reason imo why the Justin single was a huge success yet the album was a previously unimaginable relative DISASTER ( all the kids that bought the single weren't interested enough in M to buy her album) especially when you must factor in HOW PHENOMINALLY SUCCESSFULL COADF was everywhere - worldwide sales -so the ACTUAL the relative amount in popularity she has lost is like her walking off the edge of a CLIFF - this is now the SECOND time she's managed to CRASH her pop career after a HUGELLY succesfull reinvention ('American Sh!te' killing ROL's career R-E-V-I-V-A-L). Unlike like Kylie with SA (then CGYOOMH career revival on career revival to another level) Madge has never gained a new generation of (young) die hard fans with the COADF revival - you never see tonnes of kids buying M records or on forums in general like with Kylie, just the same now mainly middle aged die hards (who are less likely to have picked up IT and downloading) sure they might want to buy the physical but HOW DIFFICULT is it to buy a physical now compared to 10 EVEN 5 years ago ? How many record shops still stock singles - how much stock(amount,variety) do they now carry - how prominent is the singles section? cf that nice gimmick of the 'shocking PINK' 7" vinyl of IMA and the Kylie queens go crazy for it - and being overall a slightly younger generation of (first generation) diehards IT is second nature for the majority and its easy to order it online :-) Has is been played on Radio 1 at all or any radio station? Maybe if it had some airplay more people would be more interested Yes it was B - listed on R1 and R2 <at least B> at least, however given the nonexistent airplay it sugests DJs didn't play it to the potential of the listings.

November 30, 200816 yr How ironic that this single is probably getting the best reviews of her Hard Candy releases.
December 19, 200816 yr Whats with the sudden publicity about this single not peforming well? The media is two weeks behind with this story me thinks.
