I hope she manages to cling on to that possible US top 10 debut
I'd much rather she was in pole position than them, but hey...at least two generations of pop music lovers have a very good reason to celebrate tonight.Good news!! Steps and Madonna in the top 3, it’s a good gay day in the world
I read it’s expected to be #8.I hope she manages to cling on to that possible US top 10 debut
Yeah chart will come out on Sunday. I know they're never meant to be great but her streaming numbers are shockingly bad in the USA. Not that great here either but not as bad. In fact I think she had better streaming figures than Steps for example...I read it’s expected to be #8.
#1 in Netherlands and #2 in both Germany and France.
She was #48 on streaming. Steps not in the top 100.Yeah chart will come out on Sunday. I know they're never meant to be great but her streaming numbers are shockingly bad in the USA.

On a semi related note this is a super fun ride if anyone has 30 minutes to spare:
The 6LP boxset is already £600 on Discogs![]()
Me tooI knew I should have bought two!
Weren't they anticipating a more successful debut in Germany, as their chart is based on revenue, not units?
Yeah Mariah pretty much had something charting at all times from 1990-2000. Not everyone has that.1. Mariah
2. Madonna
3. Celine
4. Whitney
5. Janet

to say the very leastto a lesser degree Hard Candy AFTER her imperial era.
Janet just took too much time between albums during her peak business.

Sorry funks, but saying COADF and Hard Candy were any bigger in US success than E=MC2/Memoirs, A New Day Has Come/One Heart, or even I Look to You is revisionist's history. Obviously it's a different story outside the US.Nah I’d put Madonna above them all.
She had 15 years of imperial success versus Mariah’s ten (eleven really as you have to count 2005). Whitney had 15-ish but less albums over that time and while she had The Bodyguard, The Immaculate Collection counters that. MLIYL was a big comeback but Ray Of Light/Music was bigger. On top of that, Madonna had Confessions and to a lesser degree Hard Candy AFTER her imperial era.
Janet just took too much time between albums during her peak business.
Had Celine continued at the top for just a little longer (or broken through earlier) she’d probably trump them all. That run from Falling Into You to the Greatest Hits was insane
She’s got those awful grills on.Has she had so much work that she can't move her mouth properly or is she just drunk/high?
She's more prevalent than she's ever been and I can't remember the last time I saw her being cognisant and articulate.
I think the SEX/Erotica references are intentional and not just her being, well, juvenile.
There is a rumour going round that the legendary and much sought after 'Erotica' picture disc will be reissued (it's Erotica's 30th anniversary in October and her 40th in the business.)
Yep - fleece the loon fanbase first before going for the more 'generic' approach.I can see them doing shite like this rather than deluxe editions for a while. Milk the cow with picture discs and coloured vinyl first…
It does seem counterintuitive for this, but it will only hype up demand for what is to come even more.How are they fleecing the fanbase if they’re deliberately making fewer copies than people want to buy??
Because it's creating demand and hype and pushing up her collectibility value.How are they fleecing the fanbase if they’re deliberately making fewer copies than people want to buy??
