'Finally Enough Love:' aiming for top 10 debut on the US albums chart

[Askeroff 8,109]

 

Great numbers!

№1 in puree sales

and the tight between 9-7 spots are so close

[wtg1987 10,169]

Top 10 would be great - i still dont get why streaming counts towards chart placings and not just downloads and physical sales -its madness to me the charts now :(  - if shes sold the most physical copies then she should be number 1 imo .. period

Streaming has killed the music industry

the charts companies gave them too much power (and chart point weight)

and the Beatles too, with songs no one knows to boot

Streaming don't kill anything

it just how music market transform its natural and there is nothing wrong with it 

 

The main problem how they count pure sales and stream 

 i mean its kind a wired  that 6 LPs or 3 cd of  FEL is literally count as 1 album sale 

and its equals to 1 album sale comes from streaming 

 

Or they just downgrade some artists achievements take songs from .....80s 90s 00s .... when only singles can chart and now when every song can chart without being a single and put all in 1 list and etc...

Streaming is the way it is now - everyone (mostly) streams rather than purchases - so you need to add that to the mix, otherwise you aren't actually reflecting what is really trending/charting.

The issue with established artists - is they are great with physical sales, but less with streaming, although Madonna's team is really working hard to turn that around. 

A positive though to having a fan base looking to buy rather than stream is a greater amount of $$

I would have never expected a top 10! This would be huge! Hope it's true and it's even a better peak!

It feels like yesterday AND a hundred years ago when Britney and the Backstreet Boys were debuting with over a million sold in the first week. Whew honey, they got in at the right time.

it can't be so, because it simply does not reflect an album's popularity.... music is consumed differently now, we can't just disregard streaming as the most popular music outlet simply because it doesn't work in Madonna's favor.

[Josh Wang 133]

They need to do a last-minute push to make her No. 7 by arranging more 6LP boxes for the US.

[Clark_Kent 1,044]

Top 10 for a remix compilation album is an amazing perfomance! Long life to the queen

[rgdlee 274]

Compared to her previous UK chart performance of similar compilation releases: “You Can Dance” (peak @ #5), “Something To Remember” (peak @ #3), and “GHV2” (peak @ #2), then I won’t feel too frustrated if FEL fails to top the chart. But the headline “Steps beats Madonna debuting at #1” would be kinda humiliating, though.

GHV2 and YCD were released during her prime and STR was promoted with new music tho. Not really a fair comparison tbh

Why? I fail to see anything humiliating in it.

Comparing remix albums with greatest hits albums is no good. 

At most compare this with You Can Dance. This is debuting higher than You Can Dance in virtually everywhere in the world for now.

Streaming is taken into account as well because that's how music is consumed nowadays.
