No Sleeep

Maybe but you’d think he’d debut highly based on name alone, it indicates a lack of interest. I think he should’ve taken more time off

I don’t think it’s a good showing for a lead single for someone of Ed’s stature at all tbh. I’m sure it’s got him a bit worried!

Shocked nobody’s mentioned Mariah yet, Big Energy was a big hit last year mostly due to her. Under the right circumstances she can definitely still chart highly and she’s far from irrelevant

So is it out of the Canadian charts now? Was hoping it would get one more week to beat S&S

Looks like she beat both Steps and Aitch to a certification. Who’d have thought that when they kept her at #3?

Piece of Me - Glasgow Piece of Me - Blackpool I’d just turned 18 and it was the first time she’d been to the UK in 7 years (and Scotland in 14!). Really happy I did two shows and I had early entry for Blackpool.

Amazing! I remember waiting years on Madame X crawling there, this has gone Silver with relative ease

What’s BMK?

Not crazy about the song as a whole but I LOVE the strings at the bridge, Frozen vibes

I love Loreen but this is no Euphoria, it’s just not as memorable and doesn’t help that I couldn’t really make out much of the chorus and “Tattoo” is kind of awkwardly pronounced

Can’t believe River is being pushed as the single when Jaded is right there!

I cancelled mine because I didn’t think it was worth the money, now that it’s sold out… not sure if I regret it or not lol

Agreed I will never got over Rina not being picked and them going with the most beige Love Island-music type “pop girl” :cry:

It’s very hard not to be disappointed after being teased with Rina, but of course that was too good to be true

Any reason for Trustfall’s climb? I hope it’s a good sign for it going top 10 this week

Holographic vinyl sleeve like the one for MDNA is available on her website. £50, vinyl not included… and I still bought it :cry: https://shopuk.madonna.com/products/ray-of-...ic-album-sleeve

Yeah her early career was actually pretty spiky Can’t Take Me Home (#13, 2000) - 470k M!ssundaztood (#2, 2001) - 1.88m Try This (#3, 2003) - 554k I'm Not Dead (#3, 2006) - 1.43m Funhouse (#1, 2008) - 1.35m Try This’s sales are from February 2019 and it still hasn’t gone 2x platinum so not a great catalogue seller, it definitely stands out as a lull in her discography but she’s never truly flopped here. Can’t Take Me Home did pretty well all things considered but is obviously overshadowed by everything that came after I think I overestimate how big Trouble and God Is a DJ were, probably due to how much they’ve been used in the media (Mean Girls!). Here they did alright but in the US the singles definitely flopped, only Trouble scraped in at #68 which was pretty unimaginable after Missundaztood

Surprised to see True Love sneak in, that didn’t feel very big at all. I guess the early 00s hits are at a big disadvantage sales-wise though. Feels really unfair to compare anything released in the last 10 years to anything from that time period. Walk Me Home too, I don’t know anyone who would think of that before Just Like a Pill for example!

I wasn’t counting Good Time, I assumed it was relatively forgotten, kinda shocked to see it has 455m streams and 20m more than I Really Like You!

Beating the two hit wonder allegations! I saw her in Glasgow recently and she was amazing, so underrated :wub:

Did anybody else get tickets today? I somehow managed to get second row centre for £98 :yahoo:

I thought it was really underwhelming honestly, I just rewatched Madonna’s performance and yeah, that’s definitely my opinion. I’m not even blaming Rihanna but staging wise, fashion, colour, lack of guests, it was just lacking. As well as the rapid fire setlist (she really should’ve cut it down and done longer songs), it just didn’t have that spectacle-y feel the halftime show usually does even when I’m not a fan of the artist. Perhaps her first (and last again for a long time?) performance in years shouldn’t have been at such a high stakes event. Idk. Happy for the people who enjoyed it but not my cup of tea. If the pregnancy was supposed to be the big reveal I think it could’ve been done a lot more strategically too, me and my friend spent the show debating “is she pregnant or..?”. I don’t know why she would agree to do this show considering performers aren’t paid, unless she had bigger plans that have been scrapped which I feel may be the case.

What was it supposed to be?

Are Wet Leg all high or something? What a weird bunch

I don’t think I’ll be getting these since I already have all of the UO releases (well, one copy of each!) but I really like the colours… if I wasn’t so broke from Madonna and Beyoncé tickets it’d be tempting lol
