Probably copyright issues or a different version or mix

So in the movie itself it's the Madonna version?

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?

 

 

Yes, it's her vocals.  The song is mixed within the score of the film, making the song sound even more epic.

Now we're talking! So happy it's taking off.

Tip! If you replace "x.com" with "twitter.com" it embeds here in the topic:

On some digital platforms such as Itunes... "Bye Bye Bye" is now listed as "Bye Bye Bye (from 'Deadpool and Wolverine') even though it's linked to their NO STRINGS ATTACHED album. It's currently #35 on Itunes as "Like a Prayer" is at #42.

A more detailed breakdown of the numbers from yesterday.

Apparently apple music added it to the official D&W playlist. Let’s see if spotify does the same. Either way this increase is insane! I was worried the numbers would decrease since it’s a weekday and less people will be watching the movie.

We're all Tokischas and love a good drama:

At this rate "LAP" is going to smash in a few more days. Hopefully.

Who "bullied her team"?  Who has contact to her team? LOL!

Nah, I think this is just a natural and gradual progression to continue to milk the hype.

 I suspect they were already planning to add this to playlists gradually.  It's been added to other platforms as well.  Anyway, it's great if the fans had an affect on it.

We could do a streaming game here. Something to help boost the streams. Something like you have to reply with a screenshot of your spotify / apple music.

[NRMX 5,524]

I refuse to stream, it’s antinatural, an abomination, a sin against God! And the Ten Commandments

[MikeyK 960]

So the version added to the spotify playlist is the album one, which is the least streamed of the main 3 as we’ve seen. So I guess we’ll see exactly how much impact this playlist has!

How can they combine all the versions of LAP on Spotify when the Immaculate Collection version is a remix? They could just combine the album version and the Celebration version.

[Karma 3,087]

I wonder WHY they don't combine the streams of  "Like A Prayer" album version and the Celebration version? According to Spotify these are the requirements.

ISRC code

Artist name & track titles

Version titles

Track length

 

Sure the track length isn't exactly the same (5:40 vs. 5:42) but neither is "Billie Jean" by Michael Jackson, for example.

Thriller 25 Anniversary Edition (4:53)

Thriller (4:54)

The Essential Michael Jackson (4:52)

HIStory (4:54)

Number Ones (4:53)

[DiegoLCL 5,698]

Oh, for God's sake M's Team, merge the versions, merge the versions, MERGE THE VERSIONS!!!111!!

"Like A Prayer" on "Celebration" has a different speed (it's slightly slower), so the system doesn't recognize them both as the same audio track and the label has to personally request to merge streams with the "Like A Prayer" album version. It can be done. But they need to request for it.

One of the many "Celebration" compilation f**k ups still present to this day.

thats exactly what they need to do. The LAP album getting only 10-20k streams from a song that is gaining 1M streams a day is a crime. Eberybody knows the TIC version is on its own and cant be merged and thats fine, but the same song being split in two and not counting the total streams for charts? Surreal

I wonder if Madonna's note was the head job joke
