It's funny to see how 2 years ago some fans were annoyed when someone dared to compare the performance of Cold Heart with the last singles of Madonna and pointed out how unfair it was to compare a song of Elton John & Dua Lipa with the collabs that Madonna made with less popular/successful artists or solo singles. I guess some things changed...

At this point, trying to condemn Madonna or Michael for comments made between 1990/2001 is ridiculous and exhausting; neither was a victim of the other. They were just unlucky enough to approach at a time when their egos were immense. Talks between MJ and the Rabbi took place in 2000 and 2001, two years before Madonna publicly supported him. After their feud in the early 90s they met twice: in 1994 where Madonna mocked the kiss of MJ and Lisa Marie Presley and in 1997 where they greeted cordially. Clearly Michael was not going to change his opinion about her just because her cheeks collided for half a second. From 2003 to the present Madonna only had positive words towards Michael and he never again made any negative comments about her and I think I remember that Guy Oseary said on Twitter that they were planning a surprise performance for This Is It. That's all folks!

I hope this one sounds different

Not counting re-entries of festive songs: -Michael Jackson 5 decades (70s, 80s, 90s, 00s, 10s) 10s: 2014 Love Never Felt So Good #9 (with Justin Timberlake) 2014 Slave To Rhytmn #45 2014 Billie Jean #14 2018 Don't Matter To Me #9 (with Drake) -Paul McCartney 5 decades (70s, 80s, 90s, 00s, 10s) 10s: 2014 Only One #35 (with Kanye West) 2015 FourFiveSeconds #4 (with Rihanna & Kanye West) 2015 All Day #15 (with Kanye West) -Elton John 5 decades (70s, 80s, 90s, 00s, 20s) 20s: 2021 Cold Heart #7 (with Dua Lipa) 2021 One Of Me #88 (with Lil Nas X) 2021 Merry Christmas #42 (with Ed Sheeran) 2022 Hold My Closer #6 (with Britney Spears) (All have 6 decades if you consider re-entries of festive songs) Obviously there are more artists, especially if you consider the re-entries of Christmas songs but I came to mind these 3 artists because I think that together with Madonna they are the only ones that had collaborations with current artists that entered the top 50 of the HOT 100.

That will happen even if they release a ballad

Madonna signed an major deal with them and suddenly she has all these collaborations with different artists, it may not be a direct work of Warner but maybe they asked her for some more exposure so that their catalog is consumed more and so they earn more money. According to the snippets, Vulgar looks like a song made for tiktok, hopefully it goes viral.
