I also think we need to sit back and just give it the whole weekend. It’s still only Friday evening (here in the states). Only a fraction of the weekend audience have seen it yet. Let’s see where it’s at w/updates Sunday/Monday.

Weird. When I looked right before I posted LAP was at 82 and BBB was nowhere. LAP is at #79 for me now, and BBB is #138. This is all general. I don’t usually bother with the genre ones. Weird how it shows people different things. Either way the fact that BBB is included on the movie soundtrack while LAP isn’t could bode well for M as far as single traction. I’m really not expecting much of anything for the album.

Like A Prayer is climbing up the top 100 on itunes. I don’t see Bye Bye Bye at all in the top 200. Neither of their albums are, though the soundtrack is in the top 5.

Update for Thursday. Not bad! Celebration version has been averaging 200-250k. TIC 8-12k.

A fewD&W fanboy posts I saw.

Idk wtf they’re talking about, it’s still not showing up on riaa’s website. And if it’s announced today idk what these people are doing as it’s eligible for at least 4x platinum in the US. They‘re so lazy and inefficient.

They seem to be rolling them out in phases, a few titles at a time. Hopefully it’ll be coming at some point. I’m all for it, regardless of how good or worthwhile some might think it is. Get TIC out in any and every format possible. Get that 12x platinum!

This gets me thinking- was WTG the first of her singles to hit the top 10 on this chart? I mean true it prob doesn’t take much to do well on a digital sales chart nowadays, but did none of the others before it chart that high??

Agree! It’s so wonky that the 30th anniv one is randomly missing a couple album tracks.

Disappointing no Dress You Up now but sorta makes sense they go through w/Cherish next week as they’re putting the focus on Like A Prayer song and album. As unremarkable as the LAP silver is I think they should have waited til next week to announce it to really reap whatever benefits are coming from the movie exposure.

Me too, though one major difference is that Running Up That Hill was nowhere near as big or well known as Like A Prayer to begin with. At least outside the UK. In the states it was a mid 80s cult hit at best. So really it was like a whole new song to a great deal of people. LAP was a giant hit and is still pretty well known to most of the population. We’ll see what happens tho. 🤞🤞

I’m trying to be sensible and not get my hopes up too high too. That said, the Celebration version’s numbers have been noticeably, consistently up a bit ever since the trailer dropped. Even the Immaculate mix has been a bit higher than usual. So who knows. 🤷‍♂️🤞

My old cassette I bought in 1990 still vaguely smells like it.

And regarding his inquiry, she has to think about it.

So I heard Like A Prayer on the radio on my drive home today. It was on a station that doesn’t normally play it. 👀 Could’ve been a coincidence I guess…
