"Jump" Is Madonna's 4th Single! [YAYY!!!]
I don't know if this has been posted yet, seeing this article was on July 12th 2006 and I'm sure the topic would still be hot right now. This is from Billboard.com:
Hello Keith.
I was wondering about the status of Madonna's third single from "Confessions on a Dance Floor." I heard that "Get Together" was her last commercial single from the album, although it seems that it contains a handful of other tracks that are single-worthy.
Also, is "Get Together" getting any attention at radio? It seems to have missed the Billboard Hot 100. Finally, how is "Confessions on a Dance Floor" doing sales-wise? Is it becoming a huge seller like "Ray of Light" or is it stalling in sales?
Thanks. I love reading your column every Thursday.

Hello Nathan,
Don't worry, "Get Together" is not the final single from Madonna's "Confessions on a Dance Floor." The fourth single will be "Jump."
"Get Together" has pretty much stalled out on American radio. A handful of dance stations are spinning the track a lot, but the vast majority of outlets have ignored the song. (Unsurprisingly, "Get Together" is doing well on the radio in many countries outside of America.)
So far, the single has yet to enter the Billboard Hot 100. Even though the U.S. radio picture is bleak, the song could still chart based on its digital and retail sales. Perhaps if the psychedelic animated music video for the song starts to get some serious screen time on the video networks, consumers will be motivated to buy the track via digital download services.
If it gets enough sales, it could enter the Billboard Hot 100 and become Madonna's 53rd chart hit.
So far, "Confessions on a Dance Floor" has sold 1.5 million in the U.S. according to Nielsen SoundScan. That's more than twice what her last studio album, 2003's "American Life," has sold (666,000). It's still a long way from catching up to "Ray of Light," which has sold 3.8 million in America.
