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.

Please. To argue you'd need to have a proper point, first of all.
Do you even have any strong argument to defend your point? Cause I can't find any.
Her own fans defending that she does nothing when linked to the biggest movie of the Summer. OK. As I said, enjoy then when she gets nothing when she releases HER project next.
This is HER project too, by the way. As far as I see she's credited as the artist (not on track 3, another messy step of her team and label) and it's her song. It's HER EP.
We're not talking about the movie now, we're talking about the EP she's just released that goes along with the movie and should have been released three weeks ago by the way.
Marvel didn't release the EP: Warner did. Her label. Her.
She's always used big opportunities like this as a link between her albums or to try to bring back general public. This, a perfect chance for both goals, and M camp simply doesn't seem to care.
Who should care about this release then, Tove Lo? Kylie? Mad'House?

I remember there was a subset of fans, myself included, that emphatically wanted I’m Addicted to be a single/have been the first single. For years I swore up & down it was the lead single that got away. Recently I listened to it for the first time in a few years and it sounds dated af. I still think it could’ve possibly fared ok in place of GMAYL or GGW. It had that explosive edm chorus vaguely like Rihanna or gaga hits at the time.
For a minute there I wondered a couple years ago if history was going to come around to GMAYL and look favorably at it bc it’s sort of adjacent to that disney pop punk olivia rodrigo sound, but nah. That sound came & went and GMAYL is still not great.

Some years ago where I heard Living For Love in a Target one day and I swear it was the original leaked version, not the album one. I was like how are they playing this one???

Oy vay.

Her team are just complete failures w/this. But hey, it’s inching up the itunes chart and on apple music, which gets a fraction of spotify’s listeners, it’s somewhat better. 🙄

I love the fact that, despite all the demand for the movie versions, of the 3 tracks it’s the original that’s benefitting from this ep the most.

Saw this on insta. It wasn’t on a Madonna related page, and idk where it originated from, but lol.

Yeah. So far doesn’t seem to be doing much on apple music either. It’s interesting bc the ep tracks are doing quite well on itunes (I know I know, digital sales don’t account for much these days). The ep track 1 is selling much better than it did as the regular old album track this whole time.
Someone said all 3 versions have now been added to the Deadpool playlist on both spotify & 🍎 so maybe that’ll help a smidge.

Yes this. I should’ve been more clear. It suggested she held them to be included on an expanded LAP deluxe. I added that since, along w/her pushing the silver vinyl, it just seems less likely to me. Maybe we’ll all be surprised though.

I mean, they could Kylie has been popping out tension reissues like candy lol But, in all seriousness, I agree,

I can't see them releasing a LAP silver vinyl and then an expanded deluxe edition a few months from now

Since the MDNA era her “think outside the box” mentality has been a hindrance at times. It’s the kind of thing that works better when you’re closer in proximity to your peak, not when you’ve reached the point where you need all the help you can get.

Anything I post as "fact" comes with proof or some kind of explanation at least, you just don't bother to read it and quote and write your long reply anyway.
Again. See this:

Track 1on the new EP is the exact same file as track 1 here, on the "Like A Prayer" album:

For that reason, track 1 on the new EP should show right now the same streams count as track 1 on "Like A Prayer", 106M, but it doesn't yet.
Why is that? Simple: because this new EP was sent to Spotify just yesterday or two days ago maximum. Hence, it's indeed a last minute release and the Spotify system hasn't processed that total stream count info yet.
If it was planned and sent from advance, it would already show the 106M stream count on track 1 on the new EP. That process is automatic but takes the Spotify system a few days to update (behind the scenes). It will show within the next few days.
With planned and sent with advance releases like the single reissues, the preexisting tracks on Spotify always show the total count since day 1 (example: "Into The Groove" on the "Angel" single), cause they've been on their system for days/weeks and been processed.
It also came out around midnight Saturday, missing completely the Release Radar Friday window that would have been a wonderful push for the Battle Royale Mix and even got her some New Music Friday playlist placements around the world. Of course all of those chances are completely gone now being released randomly on a Friday evening.
So that's the fact, actually. it's indeed a messy last minute release, probably sent to services during Friday morning. But I'm very glad it's finally here anyway.
Ignorance is not bliss, M said long ago.

The numbers are actually pretty consistent considering it’s past the movie’s first two weekends.

She went up 2 spots on the ww monthly listeners chart to #90 too.
