Oh please, is this Fox News?

Pardon my French mais tu es complètement à côté de la plaque.

it can be a lot of things but not that. a hole through plexiglas in a piece of decor, a prop, a lightbox, a dismantled dressing room mirror... definitely see-through:

Like A Prayer (1989) Madonna described her fourth studio album, Like A Prayer, as a confessional record with lyrical content that centered around her early life and family. The album — written and produced with musicians Stephen Bray, Patrick Leonard, and Prince — incorporated rock, R&B, funk, and gospel styles into Madonna’s typical pop production. Throughout the ’80s, Madonna’s music video output helped cement her status as a bonafide pop star. When the video for Like A Prayer’s title track was released, it was immediately deemed controversial for its use of religious imagery and depictions of cross burning. “Like A Prayer” became the subject of protests, boycotts, and even lost the singer a Pepsi sponsorship. Regardless of the public outrage, it marked a turning point in Madonna’s career where critics began to consider her a serious artist. https://www.discogs.com/digs/music/best-music-videos

There are at least 5 boxsets available in store at Fnac Forum des Halles in Paris. 142€ or so. How come it doesn't chart in France with such availability?

No she wasn't. Madonna wasn't going after Sinead. There's already been a discussion about this on this forum. We need to find it because it made perfectly clear as why this M skit in the context had much more meaning than what you think. That's very wrong. And it's very sad for Sinead that the only way you would think of her is finding a way to bring M down in the process.

Professional gear was very expensive back then and quite heavy, not easy to conceal. The only good quality material is the official footage, and most of the rest hasn't leaked.

I can't seem to listen to the whole bunch in order, but I wasn't with the 3-CD set either. This vinyl side cherry picking thing is very enjoyable.

Sooner or Later 💝

Thanks love 🙏 It's really rough, I made it in 30 minutes. (Pure white backgrounds are never a good idea in the first place... 🤫)

First contact : Into The Groove is my first memory ever of partying to a specific "grown-up" song and feeling it, must have been in 1986. I loved before becoming a fan (in chronological order) : Who's That Girl Tour massively reported on French TV and the urban legend of her throwing her panties to Jacques Chirac. the Like A Prayer marketing campaign, and again it's my first memory ever of an album release and all the excitement around. Vogue at my first nights out in the club and I'm Breathless on repeat in my walkman. The song/video that made me a fan forever : Justify My Love • BOOM 🤯

Burning Up Everybody comes 2nd.

Of course not. But if you want to ship X units to X fans, and later X units to the same number of fans, you have to make sure they can afford both or your marketing plan is wrong. If you release them in a 2 months period, more people are likely to skip one of them due to budget constraints. You can't assume everybody has $100 to spare on M every month unless you want to address a tiny portion of the fanbase only and thus exclude the majority of more casual fans. This is not how you market and sell a mainstream act like M.

The marketing plan linked to the tour momentum is broken. The bosswoman being unavailable for some time, there's a whole chain of command without a compass. August release MXT vinyl couldn't be plugged off, as it was already announced and it doesn't relate that much with The Celebration tour. They'll probably tweak the release campaign to tease the upcoming tour. Many other things have been postponed. We'll have probably even more surprises when they reprise the course of events, with things already in the works for the end of the year and delayed material that was supposed to come with the beginning of the tour.

I told you the plan last year was to have the face settled for the summer. (and then everyone blocked me 🤷‍♂️)

I don't know, what I meant was that maybe they hoped she'd the most played artist at some point after the tour launch not necessarily with one song only.

To my guess. Pure speculation.

Yes of course yes ! Haven't played it all though, but the sequencing of the LPs is VERY interesting. The best way to listen to these remixes.

I guess the momentum aimed at #1 on the first night of the tour with the release of a new track.

There is no enemy here. This forum loves scapegoating but we have to admit that sickness has nothing to do with management or team or whoever you think you can be a cunt about. Shit happens. Get over it.

What wasn't clear in "We will share more details with you soon as we have them, including a new start date" ?

T'es gonflé.
