As I already stated, it would have been at number 41 if it would have been reset on Spotify, not number 95.

Any updates on Spotify would be appreciated, that is what this thread is supposed to be about.

I understand everyone's frustration with Madonna and her team, I feel the same. Personally I don't think Madonna gives a shit these days and her team are beyond useless, I blame Madonna, she's in charge but I don't think she really knows what she's doing anymore. She needs to employ people that know what they're doing and have a passion for it. Not gonna happen though is it 🤷

I really can't stand this picture anymore. 

Totally disagree! Her team are fucking useless and don't have a clue. As someone else on here said, this was rush released. This should have been released two weeks ago, with the versions merged and reset on Spotify, but at least they have finally done something 🤦

This is more or less what I said recently! At this point I think they didn’t even consider the possibility that this could take off from the movie if handled right. She probably wasn’t even aware it could happen bc her team didn’t have the foresight. Yet another example of their ineptitude. The press about LAP in the movie was in hindsight probably more about saying, “her holiness granted them her song for their movie” than building up hype for it to take off. At best they figured they’d milk it for some vinyl sales.
Nothing was strategized. Nothing’s streamlined. She posted about it once (and when she did she used the damn 7” remix edit, not even any version associated w/the movie ). When they finally attached LAP to D&W they use the least streamed version, not the one that already had momentum. Nobody knows what they’re doing.
After reading the post in another thread about how the borderline ep upload was messed up and the 7” version/remix was supposed to be the actual original 7” version but they uploaded the wrong one and couldn’t figure out how to correct it, I have no hope that they’ll ever manual merge or clean up her spotify page. They prob don’t even know how to.

Summer blockbuster tie-in and 35th Anniversary of her biggest hit - STILL they piss it away!!! I'm so tired of her management team. One joke marketing decision after another. Why do they even bother in the first place when they can't follow it through properly?

Question would be: have you seen anything from Kate Bush socials AT ALL? No xd
I don't know, she has a new EP release, linked to biggest the movie of the season, but somehow it's too much to ask for her to post on her socials about it? Are we for real?
She posted about "Frozen" Sickick release and "Back That Up To The Beat". She posted about most of the digital singles reissues (until the whole campaign started to get f**ked up somehow).
It's literally asking for the minimum. That's what social media is for. She doesn't even have to do it herself, of course, but Delabarre, cause that's what he's there for.
It's a little bit tiring trying to explain every time why her team isn't handling this the way it should be handled. But I guess if she doesn't care and most of her hardcore fans don't either, then the ones we do maybe should check out? Cause what's the point anyway. We don't work for her.

But I don't wanna see any complaints then when she releases a new song from a new album and it flops, though. Cause it's all part of the same scheme. The exposure this opportunity would give her and they're not using in full would do wonders for any new future release.
And that would be all.
Thank you.

Like A Prayer is at number 85 in the Official Singles Chart Update in the UK 

I'm not really fussed if Madonna gets paid for it or not, she's got enough money. I'm just wondering if the Choir Version gets credited to Madonna - Like A Prayer singles sales, streams and chart positions.

Totally disagree! Her team are fucking useless and don't have a clue. As someone else on here said, this was rush released. This should have been released two weeks ago, with the versions merged and reset on Spotify, but at least they have finally done something 🤦

Now we're talking:
Looking more promising.

HOT TAKE but Marvel should've asked Warner and Reggie Lucas' estate to license Borderline for this movie too, even if it's not penned by M. Borderline TRULY deserves a Running Up That Hill moment!!!

Madonna is a fool for not having it on the soundtrack. The algorithms it would have sparked for her and the recommendations in people’s release radar or tailored playlists would have been huge. Especially if the track was after Bye Bye Bye in the playlist. 
Another shot in the foot from her team. Incidental streams work miracles on these platforms. She’s her own worst enemy at times when she thinks she’s being a boss bitch or different. Her Middle aged stubborn streak shows no sign of letting up as she moves into her pension years. 

Why not? Her getting back to the UK Top 40 would be wonderful exposure and an accomplishment 35 years later, would bring attention to her back catalogue and maybe push her and Warner to finally give us the reissues with unreleased material.
OK probably not, but wouldn't hurt anyway!
By the way the UK chart never reflected radio success and was always based on sales, now it's sales + streaming. Radio doesn't play any part there :-)
