Will Madonna Ever Have A Hit Single Again?

[baymad4her 2,000]

I think streaming might be too her advantage now especially in the UK where they have changed the chart rules to include YouTube video streams. If Bitch I'm Madonna was eligible then for video streams she would of charted higher, that's my opinion anyway or I'm just hoping too much

[baymad4her 2,000]

Now that's its been confirmed Madonna will be performing at Eurovision this year. Do you think this will finally give Madonna a hit single after so many years? 

I'm hoping it finally gives Madonna a Top 10 hit

[Joseebus 2,603]

You mean in the sense that she used to have hit singles? No. She'll still place highly on dance charts and the like, but I don't believe she'll ever have another HUGE, worldwide hit.

Yeah but she's at Eurovision this year and that's watched by about a billion people all over the world

She was on the Superbowl Halftime Show, and yet MDNA still bombed

[Ambrose 606]

If the new single gets a good reception and is radio-friendly, she could still crack the top 10 of the European charts. But a hit at the level of 4 Minutes (her last real one), I don’t see it.

I don’t think she’ll ever have a Top 40 hit in the US again either.

But that atrocious single and every other single that followed it? Not so much.

GMAYL was still a worldwide top 10 single, even though it was crap.

[baymad4her 2,000]

Madonna would have a hit if she was played on the radio. Simple as that I reckon

It was streamed online you know, lol. I watched it live from China when I was there. And yes, MDNA hit number one in the UK in its first week (Im not sure about the US chart info), but it only ever spent three weeks in the top 10 before drifting out of the charts... MDNA being Madonna's fastest album descent out of the UK charts. The album, to date, has only racked up 2 million sales worldwide... her second lowest album sales in her entire career. I'd call that a bomb. And the Superbowl performance (one of the most watched TV broadcasts in the world... with a viewership of over 110m in the US alone), didn't help much. Who knows, maybe Eurovision will be different, but Im skeptical... but hopeful.If she wants a hit, she needs to make it so radio friendly that even the more hostile stations couldn't ignore it. Its possible.

You know what I mean, though, don't you? Did you hear that song all over the radio? We're talking about a HIT.

Yes, as I said, 4 Minutes was her last real hit and will remain so. But there’s huge difference between the performance of GMAYL and Living for Love which was a true bomb.

If you like the music, then what does it matter if it's a hit or not? Does her commercial success validate you in some way?

One of the stupidest things I've read on here

As for me, of course if the music is good I’m satisfied. That’s what matters most.

But as a fan, I want the artist I like to be successful because it makes me happy to see other people like it. Especially with Madonna because she used to rule the charts but ageism (and in the case of MDNA, bad music, but that doesn’t stop popular young artists) has prevented her singles from becoming successful for a while now.

Attacks on her will never stop but a hit would truly prove to the naysayers that she’s far from done. No female artist her age continues to produce hit singles and it will be interesting to see whether Rihanna, Lady Gaga or some other young popstar can still hit #1 when they’re in their fifties.

So yes, commercial success of the new single would make me happy. It’s not as important as the quality of the music but it’s not irrelevant.

Hmmmm..... NAHHHHHHH!!! I highly doubt it.

I want to see her succeed and I want to see the public recognise what an artist she is. I get the feeling most people nowadays think "oh yeah she was good back in the day but she's lost it now. She looks desperate".

Anyway I think it's unlikely that she will have another hit now, unless it's a duet with a popular artist like 4 minutes
