Blue Prince

Deeper and deeper and deeper and deeper 🩷🕳️

I have to agree a lot of controversial moments will be highlighted and what will be interested is how much they may paint her as a pioneer, etc, where in the past those same painted her as trash and a "has been", etc.  Though, I still think Like a Prayer the song and possibly the ROL album will definitely stand out as her musical best.  In fact, I'm sure LAP the song will probably be the huge go to song for people once she passes.  I can see songs like Material Girl and Holiday getting a huge high five as well. 

Good points.  And I still think the song will have an initial strong impact especially with the fans.  I think the general public won't latch on this and stream this as much as the Popular song.  It could be interesting for @Prayer show the comparisons between the two songs once it's released for several days to see which impacted more and faster as well as continue to grow.  I also see more of a negative impact for Vulgar due to its content as well.  So while the gays might replay it over and over, but how much will it actually impact the streams especially if many of them already have downloaded and have played it for a week already?  The general public seems to be the real key here for this song to blow up.  It also needs to have radio appeal which I don't think it does compared to how Popular came out of the gate. But again, I hope to be proven wrong here.  It's a campy fun Sam and Madonna song.  We'll have to see what happens in the coming days.  If anything I'm excited about it because whatever happens, it still brings more attention to Madonna's catalog. 
And @wtg1987I'm curious where you stand on the acceptance of this song.  I know we don't see eye to eye on where she is in her career today, but where do you think this song stands for you?

Yeah I also believe that Madonna's controversial figure will be mentioned everywhere but not really supported musically by the media. So people will be loving Like A Virgin and True Blue, her problem free eras. 
I do want her to leave behind a Black Star album like David Bowie did though. A record of death and confession with songs like Lament and Drowned World.

Back That Up was out for years. Yes To Heaven by Lana was out for years. So apparently it's how you reintroduce your music to the public. Personally I don't know where to find the whole song yet but it doesn't really matter whether the fans have it when the fans who still care are like two hundred 
As for the radio idk, I live in a non English speaking country where they don't care as much about the lyrical content. Started off my teens listening to Rihanna's S&M on heavy rotation. I think I will be hearing it this one too here 

It's soooo good to see her in the charts again  she deserves it! 

Yes.
This song has a much higher replay value than Popular.
Its kitsch and the gheys will eat it up and wanna play/watch (if there’s a video), over and over.

Don't get me wrong.  I still think Vulgar will makes some waves.  I'm just worried about the "replayable value" and the possibility radio will be less inclined to play it.  Being it leaked, and most of the fans already have it, that will definitely kill the streaming chances.
But like you, I'm glad they made it.  It's a fun and campy song.  I just wish it didn't leak.

Sometimes we gotta have faith in the songs. She could release another Hung Up today and we'd all be worried whether it would get streamed enough. Vulgar is exactly the song I'd expect those two to make. It makes an impact and it's of very replayable value. Even if it doesn't make a single wave in the charts, I'm really happy they made it. I trust it will do good though.

Almost 12M in four days is "so few streams"? 
It'll be her first US Top 50 in ELEVEN years. Only two weeks ago this seemed impossible for her at this point. 
Let's celebrate instead of trying to find the negative angle. Plus it still got chances to grow if it gets radio airplay (or the label buys it).

It's up to number 19 on the UK chart midweeks 

This big, big flop passed 14M on Spotify today.

So happy for her return to the chart. 
But idk, was expecting it to end up kinda higher after all the buzz. Anyway, a longer lifespan on the charts is more important than a big first week firework. Let's hope for the latter. We'll see over time.

“Popular” is currently on pace for a Top 50 debut on the Billboard Hot 100 - Her first entry since 2015's "Bitch I'm Madonna"!

So according to an ex of mine who worked for a tour promoter a similar thing actually happened with George Michael when he was in Australia. He was photographed with cum on his shirt at a sex on premises/gay bar. The tour promoter had to stop the photos getting out.

I definitely think Vulgar is going to be a lot bigger across all media formats, especially social media, than Popular.
There are just too many cunty verses and catchphrases that people can use 

Thanks for this. I was curious too.  I'm sure once the song is officially released, the song will see more of a boost on Tik Tok.  Sometimes, these viral trends take a while to fire up.  I predict a bit more of a volatile and negative response from the GP, compared to The Weeknd's song.  But we also know that could also be good press for the song, Sam and Madonna.

To answer your question, from what I can see, Sam's verse has been used in just 300 videos and Madonna's in 229. That's still very few. By contrast, Back That Up has been used as a sound for almost 27,5 thousand videos, La Isla Bonita 206k and Frozen Remix along with Material Girl a staggering 1,2-1,3M videos. But it's still too early I guess. Once it's been properly released we'll definitely see bigger numbers.
