Madonna's Spotify Progress

[lucasciccone 3,934]

I wonder when the hell are they gonna merge the multiple versions of the same songs so her streams are finally clean. Like a Prayer would be her #1. Come on Emily!

True. But only "Material Girl" and "Like A Prayer" would benefit from that and "Material" would still be her #1 song. 

Let's check her current official Top 10 on Spotify of her most streamed tracks so far:

01. Material Girl: 300M

02. Hung up: 283M

03. Like A Prayer: 245M

04. La Isla Bonita: 244M

05. Like A Virgin: 202M

06. 4 Minutes: 201M

07. Vogue: 173M

08. Frozen (Sickick Remix): 104M

09. Papa Don't Preach: 94M

10. Crazy For You: 92M

How it would actually be if they merged all the versions for the same songs that are currently separated ("Celebration" versions plus album versions of the same length etc, not remixes, edits or different versions, obviously):

01. Material Girl: 343M

02. Like A Prayer: 325M

03. Hung up: 283M

04. La Isla Bonita: 244M

05. Like A Virgin: 202M

06. 4 Minutes: 201M

07. Vogue: 173M

08. Frozen (Sickick Remix): 104M

09. Papa Don't Preach: 94M

10. Crazy For You: 92M

But "Material" and "LAP" need to be merged ASAP.

[Prayer 6,743]

Today:

She's down again to 20.027.267 monthly listeners and #197 overall.

Why it seems like she's free falling lately?

The slowing down of her two viral trends for months, "Frozen" Sickick and "Material Girl" is affecting her numbers now. But in the long term, she's much better than a year ago (13-15M monthly listeners vs. now 20M).

Could an official release of "Back That Up To The Beat" help in creating another viral hit?

Well, maybe.. or maybe not. This is no "Frozen" remix situation and the trend was promising on TikTok but didn't truly explode in the end. Currently there's only an unofficial version out:

And it has 114.298 streams in 10 days. Good but not amazing.

Now back to her:

- "You Can Dance (Single Edits)":

Slowly, but it starts to have healthy numbers now. "Everybody" is now at 66.219 streams and "Spotlight" 39.311. The least streamed tracks are now at 19.000.

- "Finally Enough Love":

Three new peaks today: "Me Against The Music" remix is +300.000 streams, "Celebration" remix hits 9M and "Medellín" remix is now 3M.

[Prayer 6,743]

Today:

Below 20M monthly listeners for the first time in a long time.

Down to 19.978.578 monthly listeners and #198 overall.

- New peaks:

"Hung Up": 284M

"Burning Up": 10M -> not sure if I put this one here before, I think I didn't, but it's recent anyway.

- "You Can Dance (Single Edits)":

- "Rain" EP:

"Rain (Radio Remix)" hits 50.000 streams.

- "Bad Girl/Fever" EP:

"Fever (Edit One)" reaches 100.000 streams.

It would be interesting to compare those trends with Deezer, Tidal and all...

Yes, but sadly we don’t have public numbers for any other platform apart from Spotify, only YouTube. :( Apple Music, TIDAL, Deezer, etc. don’t make the numbers available for everyone, only for the labels and artists themselves.

[Régine Filange 2,495]

her playlist reach has declined so ofc her listeners declined too, spotify made sure to reduce her reach by 20M the last months, she already had low reach compared to others btw

[Régine Filange 2,495]

for comparison, whitney has 250M playlist reach and madonna has 157M, 100M less, that's a lot, but madonna still outstreams, that means madonna has more royal listeners

Spotify is very clever in marketing their platform, doesn't mean their numbers reflect overall listeners.

Well, of course Spotify is not all the market, but it's the biggest music streaming platform in the world, with 165M paying subscribers and 33,37% of the market - Apple Music 2nd with 88M subscribers and 17,8% of the music streaming market. Both of them together are more than half the market.

Amazon Music is 13,75% and YouTube 10,11%.

I wish there was a way of tracking the Apple Music streams, it’s a shame it’s kept private

I love YouTube music. Amazon makes you pay extra for better sound quality which is daf

Keep streaming your vinyl!! 🥰

I'm curious how Santa Baby's doing?  I do wonder if her streams are down, due to all the Holiday songs from other artists that are probably receiving more of a surge.
