Oh no, it's fantastic; for me it's just a case of everything else there being stronger.

That Fallon performance was electric. I love Bitch I'm Madonna; the drop and the production are crazy original. Still loving the album. This era has been fantastic so far.

Turn It Into Love :(

The trailer is excellent; it looks like exactly the type of video that I'd like for the song.

Nick for a high position with good sales, please. That's all I care about this week.

:lol: I like the direction of the cover but the execution is horrible. We shouldn't be surprised after the brilliant designing of the Living For Love cover, though. :P I'm envisioning a very dark and moody music video. Can't wait!

Still Standing but it's excellent.

Everything about this era has been on point so far. I hope she keeps this up. I'm still hoping that she will perform on The Voice. When is the final?

The music video will be released in mid-April. :D

I don't like what has been done to her vocals in that Ghosttown remix. I hope the next set coming will be an improvement. Living For Love had great reworkings all around.

Madonna will appear on Jimmy Fallon on 9 April. The Ghosttown video will be out in mid-April.

Thanks for the pictures, Joe! Hopefully M's appearance on BBC Radio 2 tonight can help the album remain consistent throughout the week.

All songs left are amazing. After Dark again, though. :P

Gutted that Physical Attraction will go in this round but all the tracks left are of very high quality. Really hard. :(

Would someone please post some pictures of the vinyl? Are there any photos inside? I don't care about the chart performance tbh. She delivered an excellent album which I'm still listening to on a daily basis and discovering new things. :wub: There's no reason for M to care about charts.

Bloodstream up to 7. I don't think it's climbing fast enough to hit #1.

Sia up to #3 after her appearance on The Voice. It may finally hit the top ten officially.

I think Jess will deny Ed the #1; Hold My Hand still has a large lead on iTunes and she's performing on The Voice tonight too.

Up to #22 today.

If it's any consolation, Rebel Heart has a great second week in Canada, falling just one spot to #2 after topping last week's chart. :P Elsewhere, Italy is currently her strongest market; Ghosttown is top five on iTunes there.

I think it's best that we expect nothing saleswise. It's disappointing because Rebel Heart is her best music in over a decade and for me it's in the top half of all her albums altogether. However we can only hope that she keeps promoting it like she has been. Unfortunately it's nobody's fault that Rebel Heart isn't selling consistently -- a natural decline is what we can expect for Madonna. Everything else about the era has been on point and hopefully that will continue regardless of chart information.

Veni Vidi Vici, Best Night and Holy Water make an awesome segue with the hybrid of electronic and urban music as well as their references and samples of past Madonna songs. I've been listening to the album in this order: 01 Living For Love 02 Devil Pray 03 Ghosttown 04 Unapologetic Bitch 05 Illuminati 06 Bitch I'm Madonna 07 Hold Tight 08 Rebel Heart 09 Joan Of Arc 10 Heartbreak City 11 Queen 12 Iconic 13 Veni Vidi Vici 14 Best Night 15 Holy Water 16 Inside Out 17 Messiah 18 Wash All Over Me [Deluxe]* 19 Body Shop 20 Addicted 21 Beautiful Scars 22 Borrowed Time 23 Graffiti Heart *because none of these songs fit the remainder of the album soundwise The way that the album is structured starts off really well with the first seven songs and from then onwards gets a bit haphazard. This is truthfully my only critic of Rebel Heart as an album; in terms of quality it's fantastic throughout. I removed S.E.X. and Autotune Baby because they aren't as good or needed, but they still have their moments; the instrumentation of the former song is good and the latter would be much better without the distracting crying baby in the background. Top ten: Devil Pray, Ghosttown, Hold Tight, Rebel Heart, Joan of Arc, Veni Vidi Vici, Holy Water, Inside Out, Messiah, Graffiti Heart (I can't order them, though). This will change frequently. Amazing album etc. etc.

The Kiss Me Once Tour is top ten in UK midweeks. :yahoo:

Shame that I Feel For You and Someday aren't appreciated here; the production on both songs is outstanding. After Dark again but it seems as though I'm the only one voting for it. :lol:
