No Sleeep

No need

Not complaining really because it’s got the best promotion for a Madonna lead since GMAYL but it really could’ve benefited from releasing the video the same day and having physicals ready to go, I reckon they could’ve got top 10… oh well

On the Physical Singles Chart - somebody should edit that! https://www.officialcharts.com/charts/physical-singles-chart/20120916/1/

The issue also is that a lot of new music just isn’t that good. The idea that the charts should be filled with new music made sense in the physical era, but in the streaming era people aren’t going to exclusively listen to 2026 releases. It sounds like people want a Billboard Hot 100-style chart that’s more explicitly about marketing new artists than reflecting true popularity. A chart position is just a number, you can remove all the old songs from the charts and disadvantage them as much as you can but it won’t make new music any more popular in reality.

Why wouldn’t they have nominated the Michael soundtrack? Surely he could’ve had his 11th #1 album if they had done so rather than just another week for The Essential

Well it’s the first song on the album, it put me off listening to the rest. I didn’t say anything about the album, just that one song, I’m happy to see her succeed regardless. Don’t jump to conclusions

Why is that a shame? What an odd thing to say

Wanted to support Mel C but Sweat is one of the worst songs I’ve ever heard!

I totally agree! Some people are acting like Sabrina is doing charity, while it might help Madonna out on the charts a bit I’m sure getting to collaborate with the literal Queen of Pop is a dream come true for Sabrina.

It’s only added 3k in 2 days, 2 weeks ago it took 11.8k to go top 40. I think it will squeak into the top 40 but it could be close

I’m losing hope that it can make top 40

Oh well!

I expected higher too I thought there was a good chance of it being #1 on the first look… oh well, I got carried away but a (hopeful) top 40 is still amazing

Wait, 28-out? That can't be right?

Could Madonna be #1 in the first look? (I know she won’t be there on Friday)
