One thing I've seen since being a Madonna fan all these years is you can never count her out. Just when the world's saying "she's over," she comes back with huge success again. The only thing standing in her way (at least in my opinion) is Top 40/pop radio, especially in the US. I know people criticize YouTube streams being counted on the BB Hot 100, but that could actually work to M's advantage.
Did they have that rule when GMAYL was released? It must have been shortly after, if not...

You really think so? How is her clips doing on ytb? I don't think Radio and streaming will be here to support her if the song is "another" GMAYL, and not even if it was "another" 4M, it would have to be "another" Hung Up to be able to do something on the BB Hot 100 but I have faith in her that she'll do it nonetheless

The rule was introduced in the spring of 2013 - I remember this because Harlem Shake went #1 and Gangnam Style had a substantial rise on the chart, so about a year or so after GMAYL.

Well, the issue's gonna be the use of her VEVO. If she uses that, they have advertising on the other VEVO videos; if she just uses her own channel, she loses that benefit. The GMAYL video has over 54 million views, but that's not on her VEVO (but that's from 2012-now, so it's been building over time). It will all depend probably on the amount of promo and social sharing, I guess. I don't know how to get streaming numbers, but I do know that if you order from Most Popular to least when searching her name on Spotify, 4 Minutes is her second highest streaming behind Like a Prayer, but idk how accurate that is.

I think GMAYL has so much views because of SB tho, what are the numbers for GGW and TUTR?
It's somehow weird that she apparently goes back to Mirwais yet amazing... I mean would she really do that after American Life? I'm so here for it though, imagine they create a new "Paradise (Not For Me) - uptempo though, electronic ballad I need at least something as relatable as "Nobody's Perfect" please
This "Obsessions" tumour though obviously derived from "Confessions"...
As for Mirwais, if he's really involved I am ecstatic. I feel the AL-type slayage coming, and I guarantee she's going to make some typical-Madonna cultural statements this time. That might end up being really good for both the music and the sales.
As for the "Obsessions Tour", I LOVE how it could be derived from CoaDF and it's yet another good sign for the era to come.

I just checked and GGW is actually on both her official channel and her VEVO. I remember them taking it off VEVO to move it to her official channel, now they must have it on both lol. Combined, it's just a little under 26m I think. And yeah TUTR has under 8m. I thought I read somewhere that user generated videos are counted, as long as the original audio is included, but I could be wrong. This would all at least give M a little bit of an advantage since radio seems to have abandoned her, audio & video streaming might not make it all back up, but it might give her better chances than during MDNA. Not that charts matter anyway, it's all about the musical quality

Well, that's not that bad as I thought but she's screwing it up with those two accounts, should be just VEVO and bye, this is rather confusing than helping anything
No, you are right about this.
I completely agree with the last sentence but it's nice to have it "back it up" on the charts
I need at least something as relatable as "Nobody's Perfect" please
