@China...

Madonna didn't bother to promote her album, you dunce. She released it with virtually no TV promo, no televised performances, no magazine interviews, etc., etc. Hit albums don't make themselves. When artists and labels choose to not promote their album in the media, sales tend to be poor, as many in the public don't even know the album is out. On the contrary, Rihanna and Nicki's albums are/were HEAVILY promoted and still did not see any impressive numbers.

Rihanna's flop album is a bigger loss for everyone involved than Madonna's flop, since IDJ sunk more money into it expecting it to be a blockbuster. Everyone at Interscope and Live Nation knew Madonna was only releasing an album for an excuse to tour, and wasn't planning to heavily promote it. Plus Madonna is 53. How many pop stars over 40 do you hear on the radio or setting the charts on fire. Rihanna and Nicki are (or are supposed to be) still in their commercial prime. When Madonna was their age, her album sales avalanched theirs today.

Apples and oranges. Everyone involved planned, plotted and expected mega millions in sales from Rihanna and Nicki's latest project. I'd be willing to bet everyone involved in the making of Madonna's album had more realistic expectations, considering...

Seriously, shut up. You have no idea what you're talking about and are grasping at straws. Furthermore, this post wasn't about Madonna anyway...don't act like there's some kind of bias going on here. TGJ talks shit about Madonna constantly. So null & void on what you're saying. Again, you're just mad because Rihanna is being called to the carpet and are trying to divert attention from it because your poor widdle stan feelings can't stand heat thrown her way. It's burning you, personally.

You are truly pathetic.
