The new girls have radio AirPlay. What better promo is there?

Yeah, radio play is good for singles, not albums. Dedicated fanbases buy albums, but I guess her fanbase doesn't like this album? I don't know. It's weird because of the massive promo campaign she's been on, having ads pop up on every gay-oriented website. Targeted promo normally works.

[Truth Teller]

Come to think of it, even with 120k she's outselling so many of the girls. The fact that we expected more from her is proof of her legacy tbh

[Komet blu]

Wait, how much did MDNA do? I'm remembering 350k, or??

[eleganceislearned]

Not the Empire soundtrack being a contender;

I'd be so pissed if that was my fave, lol. I think she might edge it out though.

[Jolie's Lips]

That is less than Barbra Streisand and Tony their last albums and they have been in the bizz almost twice as long. A pity.

I thought Luke Bryan would have sold more..didn't his last album debut at number one with over 300K?

I guess these are respectable numbers for Madonna since all that has happened..the leak..no radio support..

But they aren't great by any standards..

I hope Empire snatches the number 1 spot though..I'm surprised I like the music.

The usual little trolls on this thread, enjoy it while you can.

[_Fey]

hihihihi still reaching 6 figures 30+ years later even with her first album without a top 10 (or top 40??) hit hihihi i'm happy enough

[QueenBeyoncé]

Empire has a soundtrack? Didn't know that.

[KORDEI]

Didn't Madonna do 60k in pre-orders or something? lol. These numbers aren't bad considering certain circumstances but they aren't mind-blowing either. Don't see why her age is being used as an excuse when her fans were running up and down ATRL saying 200k!!

Madonna fans were some of the first people to run into threads about ARTPOP and C2C and call out Monsters for "making up excuses", yet that's all this thread is. Her numbers are low, own it.

Empire though.

Madonna has actual excuses tho Gaga's numbers were actually low considering it was only her third studio album and Madonna was obliterating at that part of her career

If Madonna is seriously blocked because of SPS...

Those are AC artists. All comparisons should be made within the pop field.

It's an EP - part of his usual Spring Break collection. His last Spring Break set did 74k, so this is a vast improvement.

Floppy numbers

But didn't the whole album leaked months before also?! Go back to your SYG hole and stay there troll. The nerve and ignorance of some is beyond in here!!

The preorders just seem disproportionally high compared to these 1st week estimates. We are allowed to ask questions.

Anyway, the racist, homophobic, ageist, desperate, talentless clown CuMadonna is OVER. Can’t wait for her to SCREAM at you and insult you and all the other grey chest-haired middle-aged cocksuckers at the Repel Charts tour after she arrives 6 hours late.

Long live EGOTbra Streisand, confirmed today as the #1 female artist of all time!

[Mel.]

yasssssss Empire!

[Cheetos]

literally **** Empire.
But whatever I guess. 30+ year career and still selling like one of the current girls. Slay.
