Perhaps it is. But I mean, it's not like it's her third album or anything, it's her thirteenth.

Not for an artist with literally no radio support, actually it is quite impressive given the lack of support, the negative media and social media campaigns by certain fanbases and the fact that this is like her 13th studio album spawning from a 30+ career

You're blaming Internet stans for the lack of commercial success? as if. Nobody pays attention to that.

[Dark Miracles]

Nope. For example Meghan Trainor had 2 of the biggest hits recently and her album barely did better than Madonna's who keeps getting snubbed by US radio despite quality singles.

Madonna?

[Brunette Ambition]

Yeah, sadly. Still the album of the year though
I love the fact that it flopped but only because the Madonna-trolls got sooo annoying with all this ''ARtFlopp'' Stuff the last 2 years.

[chilicheese01]

Yes, but the album is good.

Those are both 15-20 years old and have nothing to do with Rebel heart

The album did really badly. The excuses

It's just to prove my point about her not knowing what a flop is.

No matter how bad you think she's doing, she'll always have something along the era that will make her make millions. And that's what matters for her in the end.

Receipts ?

1.8m according to the 2012 IFPI report.

3 years after the album is at 2m.

Kii at Monsters keeping Madonna on their minds 24/7, some things never change

Of all the Medonsters to say such a thing

OT: Yes, this album did really poorly, particularly for the promo she's putting in.

Her fans make a habit of pointing out when other girls flop. It doesn't matter how long she's been around. A flop is a flop is a flop.

THANK YOU!! Madge stans are notorious for covering up her shortcomings with "she's been doing this for 30+ years, this is X album title, she's the Queen of Pp she's allowed to, etc and then attack other pop girls for their shortcomings. I don't know what's worse, the elitism or the delusion.

Just own the flop and stop making excuses to mask it.

[Sahn]

Being a Madonna hater might be SO frustrating.

Come for ANYTHING but her success. You just cannot.

this HAS to be planned

[Bey_Rihstan]

Yes and she's tried her best to sell the album too which makes it worse

[Diarrhoea]

Yes.

[jdmc218]

YES it is! And Mariah is the Queen of Pop!!!

[OffTheWall]

Yes

[The Chewis]

Her problem nowadays is that instead of being the leader she's been over the past 3 decades, she's relegated herself to being a follower. Her new music is nothing groundbreaking...and her interviews and performances have just wreaked of desperation for youth. I don't know why she's doing what she's doing, but I hope she realizes soon that it's not working.

[Ezekiel]

Mess not KatyKats tagging along trying to shade Gaga

[Lights and Waves]

So by the logic in this thread, is Madonna's next album sold 3 copies it would be ok because it's her 14th album. How do you explain Barbra success then? She's Madonna's age and had much less promo.
