She is!

First of all, there are two versions of Like A Virgin on Spotify.

At least get the correct stats when you compare.

She's already inspired three generatios tho. That's a lot.

omg Lady Gaga is slaying so hard in your avi, I just can't handle all the slay

They are not ageist towards males, though. I think it's sexism. Or both.

That pokemon song is from the 00s , Like a Virgin is from the 80s.

If you include the album LAV, Inmaculate Collection and other compilations, more than 50m+ bought the song in the last 30 years.

Grow up please.

Not true. There are at least 3 non-live versions of LAV on Spotify. But they don't make much difference combined.

Because she's from the 80's, and most of her discography didn't have much longevity because to the general public, she's an entertainer. The reason why the younger generations are more likely to know songs by The Beatles for example, is because their music and songwriting was always the highlight of them. Madonna was all about the performance, and there was always much more time and effort put into her tours for example than her actual songs. She's not a good singer either, which doesn't really help. Had she been a great vocalist, her songs probably would have a slightly higher chance of being embraced by the younger generations, like Michael Jackson for example.

The kids of today probably just know her as the old lady who sucked Drake's face off at Coachella

I don't know! It's strange. Some other artists from the 80s & 90s have big streaming stats

That's irrelevant.

This is about newer generations who grew up with the Internet. I'm pretty sure they weren't alive when those came out 30 years ago.

I love Madonna more than MJ. This isn't a flamebait thread.

Well if you are comparing to her peers then who is?

Cyndi, Whitney, Mariah, Prince, Elton???
I don't think so....
Most of the younger generations just don't care about any of them...

Maybe only MIchael.....

Actualy Cyndi has more streams on Spotify.

And less album sales, tour gross, airplay, etc.

Keep trying to change the subject... I'm sure that one lady who didn't buy Cyndi's album 30 years ago is streaming her discography on Spotify now.

OT: i've noticed this too. Most people of the younger generation don't even seem to know who she is, let alone use her music. Seems like she has more longevity than her music.

Oh well good thing my fave is MJ. A 100m streamed song on spotify, probably the best catalouge sales of any artist, and 8 vevo certified videos and counting

Because she's old and her music hasn't been that great recently, I love her but that's how I see it.

But this thread is about streaming, so WFL has a point. What you mentioned isn't what this thread is ask.

+ isn't it strange how someone with "less airplay" (according to you, but imma need the receipts) still gets way more streams every week than Madonna AND has way bigger classics?

Yeah exactly... and she have more streams because she have only 2/3 Iconic Hits so when people wants to play her music they automatically think about them.. while Madonna have so many... so they can choose... if this makes any sense...
