The fact that her competition is a soundtrack from a TV show is so strange

Last week, the number 1 album in the ENTIRE world sold only 210k albums.

Madonnas projected sales in the US are at 110k.

To everyone that's disturbed or upset - it's clearly the declining industry that's the problem -If the world wide Best selling album is 210k and madonnas doing 110k in the US. We know she's doing just fine. We can also project what she'll sell WW based on the U.S. numbers and it would be 500-700k

So now that it's Madonna selling poorly, suddenly the "declining industry" is to blame?

You can't base WW numbers on the numbers from the US because no other country has a music industry as big as the US (minus Japan). Looking at iTunes, the album is underperforming around the world: http://kworb.net/itunes/artist/madonna.html

To put this into perspective, the only time the album made it to #1 on iTunes WW was when it was put up for pre-order (it only stayed #1 for three days). Since its release, it has yet to top that chart again and is currently declining: http://kworb.net/aww/

why are you spending so much time and energy on someone you don't even like though

Don't reply me with that "Madonna fans did that to Gaga too!" excuse because both parties are just pathetic as f*** and you better admit that.

If Madonna misses #1 over some streaming rule Billboard admitted to testing and possibly changing the chart later on I will barf be sick and take the day off work.

Madonna is gonna get a lot of hard copies. Song streaming seems incorrect on an Album chart its fine on a singles chart.

This does not make sense to include this rule. Anyone can keep streaming something over and over so it makes no sense compared to just buying something and listening to it. Plus single sales should not make album sales they never did in the past. In the future will they force us to send them the songs we listen to even though we already bought the album??? This rule makes no sense. I really don't get how streaming something could ever equal on album sale.

It seems completely fine for singles on the billboard Hot 100 to include the points because it works like radio. It makes no sense at all to attach it to album sales that just seems nuts. If I listen to the radio and hear a song I don't like It will go towards an album sale because its being played in my workplace??? I am confused is radio play also going towards Album sales now???

You've been clocked multiple times. The fact it's her 13th studio album, the fact she's 56 and the fact she has nothing more to prove are all excuses for underperforming. Stop.

I hope she snatches that number 1 for old times' sake. The woman gave me chills from my early childhood to April 2008.

I don't even care for Madonna and I find it laughable that people are trying to drag her.

AS IF their faves will be doing anything like this at 56 and after 30 years in the business.

Most of them can barely sell now.

UNNAMI

hopefully Empire will loose

Is the tracking cycle over today?

Hard Candy has some great moments in my opinion. Devil, Miles Away, Give it 2 Me, Beat Goes On, She's Not Me. Great songs.

Madonna's success has always been built on hate so I don't understand why haters are still coming for her

She's been called a flop since 1983.

Madonna will snatch that number 1. I'm sure.

BlackAura

GO Madonna.

DanceAgain

The fact Madonnas gonna over 100,000 is actually impressive JLo,shakira,mariah,kelly clarkson etc can't even pull 100,000 first week sales anymore

I honestly think 70-100,000 is seen as decent its sad but its not strange for artist to debut lower then 85,000 these days i can only imagine what sales are gonna be like in 3-4 years 30-70,000 will probably be the standard

Go and get it, M!
