Rebel Heart - Album Thread [Happy 1st Birthday!]

[wizzywick 13]

Another example of Interscope's incompetence when it comes to their research on how international charts work, and the release of the pointless 14 track standard.

 

In the UK, streams are counted by basing the (up to) 12 most streamed tracks on STANDARD VERSIONS of albums only! No one is streaming the standard version, so all her streams from the deluxe are not counted. This explains why her stream points (divided by 1000 in order to balance the strongest/hit songs of an album so unfair inflation isn't created) were just a measly 416.  

 

And, at this moment in time, Rebel Heart has dropped 5 places in the UK Midweeks to number 7. More promotion and perhaps a UK exclusive is needed if the album is to stand a chance here.

 

And, in other news, the first full week of French sales for Rebel Heart, equated to just 8,300.

I already managed to get all versions, but anyways here in Argentina we only have the Super deluxe edition, since march 10 th. It's weird...

for some reason everything gets here like a month after you guys get it, and they never bring enough records. once they're sold, they're gone (except Hard Candy and MDNA, which for some reason are always being shipped). I had to go to Buenos Aires to get Erotica, Like a Prayer and Madonna

A big shout out to everyone who buys her albums/singles despite all the leaks!

I one of the new school fans will always go out and buy the albums of artists I like.

[SimonVenekeo 1,893]

Yes it is. I have a thing about my iTunes and it has to use official covers, so now instead of the cover we're used to seeing I have the one in the red sweater.

Back in the present day, it appears that Madonna herself is a fan of Empire: on March 17, the diva announced that the show's Terrence Howard would star in her new music video for Rebel Heart's second single, "Ghosttown."

And Guy continues to be beyond clueless... retweeting that Madonna has a US #1 album when the Billboard 200 uses the sales + streaming chart...
