^ Which makes me wonder if that'll be the next single in spite of how much I Know You're Hurting is pushed as a promo track. Winter Woman will make the Escapism fans happy but I Know You're Hurting screams eventual ballad smash that can push albums in the way Adele & Emeli Sande did years back.

Not necessarily as she has 2 "dancey" songs on her new album, Life Boat & Joy (which is a dance collab): I think she just never wanted to be pigeonholed into one genre all her life as an artist.
Madonna has Forbidden Love on Bedtime Stories & Confessions On A Dance Floor. Rita Ora has two songs called R.I.P.
Exact total according to Music Week is 1,113,202 .
