Why was Rachel Platten able to smash at 34 years old?
How come Madonna, and the other pop girls who are in their 30's now can barely smash anymore but Rachel Platten managed to smash with "Fight Song" at 34 years old?
No. The song is just really relateable and inspiring. It appeals to people of all ages and of all struggles and it's simply just a good song in that regard.
Madonna could have hits despite her age too, she just needs to release good music. Hung Up and 4 Minutes were huge hits and I believe she was in her 40's by that time.
