I've stopped streaming Like A Prayer, why should I make an effort when she can't be arsed. At least the silver vinyl is out 🤦

So now you will attack Madonna personally. The only arsed thing is your comment. Madonna make efforts for song to be in movie, including notes & being on premiere, it’s not her fault that people like more bubble gum pop song, LAP is not even streaming friendly

Who is Alex Vagda and why can you buy Like a Prayer (Epic Version), Instrumental and Alex Vagda - Like a Prayer Meets Avengers (Epic Version) and Instrumental 1 Minute Tracks in Itunes? Also available on Tidal.
And if real why are there M's real vocals without mentioning her Name?

Or is this some Donna Queen again haha

I agree. Madonna and her team are so useless and out of touch, she needs to hand the reins over to younger people that know about streaming and tiktok.

Btw you criticizing her team, but you doing exactly same mistake, endorse physical release of album and stop streaming song, when streaming is now more important than physical sales. That’s why younger female singers have so easily diamond singles.

An unofficial upload getting the money and the exposure until an official version is released. It's not cool and it's 100% illegal, yes, but also what happens when there's demand and that demand is not met.

It happened with "Frozen" Sickick remix, it happened with "Back That Up To The Beat" demo. Tons of non official versions uploaded until the real ones arrived.

Maybe they'll see there is a demand for it and finally approve to release it...

They added LAP on official playlist on Apple Music, so maybe Spotify will follow

“Bye Bye Bye” by *NSYNC enters the top 20 on global Spotify at #16 (+22) with 3.344 million streams.

 

[True Blue 84 2,141]

For those who saw the movie, are they playing Like a Prayer with Madonna vocals? Or is someone else singing the song because online i hear versions of like Prayer that aren't Madonna's vocals?

Yeah, but let’s go down to earth a little bit, we are talking about 35 years old 80s song that was already a huge hit & is still rising. The movie just begins cinema run, maybe LAP won’t return to charts, but featuring will have lasting impact on the song

I saw it but I'm not telling rhino because if they can't care to hear fans they don't deserve to hear from us when these are uploaded

Probably copyright issues or a different version or mix

dracarys!!!

Honestly I can understand why "Bye Bye Bye" is getting all the attention, since it's a Y2K, classic Max Martin, classic Britney sound and that era and sound is in full nostalgia mode now. Plus it's the music the parents of the kids going to see the movie grew up with.

Not even cancelled Justin could stop it from going viral!

"Like A Prayer" is more epic and timeless, but also less instant in a way.

What a fantastic - and expensive - soundtrack, by the way.

Can’t agree more with you

Didn't know how to word it right but yeah, BBB is a fun dance song and LAP is a religious experience 🙏🏼

at least they update LAP RIAA but they did it only for digital and streams numbers 

that's way it only 2XP

I think actually this and the other recent certs are based just on sales, digital & physical, no streaming.

LAP sold a million physical, hence first platinum.

It sold a bit over a million downloads, so 2p.

If they combined its streaming numbers w/the excess sales past the first million it prob could’ve got to 3 or 4p. But I don’t think they’re even looking at streaming.

She doesn’t have a lot of songs that would get a certification boost from streaming bc her #s haven’t been huge but LAP is def one that would.

[Would You Like To Try 9,410]

I still think they will wait till August 1 which is the Cherish date to release the single and promote the album and Like a Prayer as "all the singles uploaded" or most or something like that

Yup. Nothing she or her team could do would do much to change how it’s playing out.

We can hope that if this movie has repeat viewing appeal then LAP will grow on some of these younger marvel fans over time. 🤷‍♂️

We can make forever excuses about BBB explode and LAP underperformance

but the thing is what it is

Nsync team play all the cards right while M team just did nothing

by digital i mean they use SPS units

SPS - sales plus streaming (TEA and SEA )

For songs, all official audio and video streams from within the US are counted in addition to pure single sales.

150 streams = 1 track sale.

its not separated for certifications

they did not count any streams for this certification, with streams the LAP single is at over 3.7M, so very close to 4M already

Yup. Same thing w/only doing gold for ITG. They prob could have got platinum w/streaming. Same w/only 3p for Vogue. PDP not so sure, platinum may be all it could get.

It’s their responsibility to provide all the streaming equivalent data to riaa and I think they’re not using it at this time.

[Askeroff 8,304]

its clearly says digital units (SPS) not only downloads

Both downloads and on-demand audio and/or video single streams are counted towards the required thresholds.

The formula of 150 on-demand streams is equivalent to one download sale.

 

Should be at least x3 with physicals 

Platinum | May 16, 1989

Gold | May 16, 1989

It’s sold a little over a million mp3s via itunes in the US alone since her catalogue was added. That‘s likely what they mean by digital.

The first gold/platinum was from its physical sales during the single’s initial run.

[Debord 723]

RIAA explain it on their website:

Units are defined as follows:  Each permanent digital download counts as 1 Unit for certification purposes.  150 on-demand audio and/or video streams will count as 1 Unit for certification purposes.
