I've seen Katy a couple of times and had great fun. This is obviously a lie but I'd love her and M on a song together - I think their voices would work really well together for a start.

Abba lend themselves to it cos they were never known for changing their look or even their sound, and by and large their performances were them just standing there singing with very basic dancing from the women. Madonna's shows are known for being a spectacle, she always reinvents the old songs and her looks and sound have varied enormously over the years. So it would be a lot more jarring I think.

I remember quite a few reviews of the album at the time picking up on Human Nature clearly being influenced by Dr Dre. It was the centrepoint of the album and absolutely everything that makes Madonna Madonna, rather than just another pop diva.

You need to associate with less basic people!

There you go girls! I don't know what bitrate this is though

This is what he played all three nights I saw him warm up at Miami! It's superb
According to @cosmic_system this was not the case in other venues so I was pretty lucky!!!

With a 'Classic 80s' playlist you're almost certainly going to get GJWHF on there, and maybe Time After Time or True Colours if it's a ballad one. With Madonna, you could have Holiday, Into The Groove, Like A Virgin, Material Girl, Like A Prayer, Express Yourself...you get the idea....and no-one would think 'oh why's this song here'. So it inevitably dilutes the numbers compared to having one or two signature songs that can get whacked absolutely everywhere.

I've said it before on here but the total disconnect between how music used to be consumed and how it is now has long made me think there needs to be a pre-streaming and post-streaming era recognised by chart bodies. 'Records' like Taylor Swift filling the 'singles charts' with her entire album are just a total nonsense when that was literally impossible to do only a few years ago, and the fact that e.g. if you bought an album in the pre-streaming era it only ever counted as one sale, regardless of how many times you played it, whereas now an album keeps 'selling' cos most folk listen via streaming, underline that they're just totally different things being compared.

I can believe Girls Just Wanna Have Fun (and presumably Time After Time?) get big numbers cos they'll be on heaps and heaps of 80s playlists and they've been in loads of adverts, films etc. As others have said Madonna has so many iconic hits that it's more difficult to have that kinda focus on one or two.

Speaking to friends who aren't "Madonna fans" I've heard nothing but positivity about this concert, and across the net it's all positive too. Absolutely no-one out there is obsessing over her vocals.
And on that note, I think some folk need reminding that vocals deteriorate with age. It happens to absolutely everyone.

It also underlines how meaningless these numbers can be by mentioning Mariah's enormous Christmas numbers...I bet if it came down to it Mariah would rather have consistent streams across the year and an audience that could sustain a big worldwide tour than 20m listeners Jan-Nov and then an explosion for the same album.

Hey guys I'm the Itaú officer who won a pair of Espaço Itaú tickets! It was such an incredible experience. I was in front row and has the time of my life! There were several fans around me and we sang our hearts out during every song, it was kinda funny because they even moaned in Erotica and I did not because I'm so shy lol. I feel like I made eye contact with M everytime she came close to me especially when she sang Express Yourself right in front of me. I feel like I'm reborn. Best night ever!!! I posted some videos on my Instagram (check the highlights): instagram.com/gvstt. I have no words to express how grateful I am and how proud I am to be a Madonna fan. That night changed me. I'm so so sooooo happy!
The stage was sooooooo high so I didn't have a good vision of M when she sang songs at the main stage and at the catwalk/little stage where she performed OYH and BU for example, but I watched them on the big screens. Erotica is my favorite album and basically all the songs from the 90's segment were performed close to me so I'm extremely happy anyway. DAD had an amazing punchy bass ("I could feel it in my pussy"), EY was so emotional and Music was a blast. Seriously I am still gagged over that night, I feel like I can't think straight yet. xD Can't wait to watch it on my TV as soon as a good rip surfaces!

Enjoy a well-earned rest and return to music when she's feeling inspired and ready. In the meantime they can start releasing the re-issues.
