‘Bad Girl‘ chanteuse Madonna should think twice if she thinks selling her new album will be a walk in the park today, set to become an uphill struggle now the project’s sales have seen slip, trip and dip out of the iTunes’ chart!
Bad news for the Queen of Pop below…
‘The Daily Mail’ reports:
It was supposed to be precautionary measure prompted be the viral leaking of her latest album, but six new tracks from Madonna’s forthcoming LP, made available on iTunes, have suffered a dramatic dip in sales just one week after their release.
The pop legend acted quickly following the illegal distribution of 13 unfinished and, one week later, 14 completed tracks from new album Rebel Heart, her first release in three years.
But while the early release of six tracks from her thirteenth LP initially soared to the top of the iTunes chart, they quickly plummeted through the top 100, with Nicki Minaj collaboration B**ch I’m Madonna currently the highest charter at number 188.
Meanwhile Living For Love, thought to be the album’s lead single, has fared worse on Amazon, where it languishes at number 529.
The poor sales have prompted concern ahead of Rebel Heart’s planned release next March, with the album currently at number 38 in iTunes pre-orders and a worrying 167 on Amazon.
After three decades of pop domination Madonna’s album sales have declined over recent years, with American Life (2003), Hard Candy (2008) and MDNA (2012) all failing to hit the critical and commercial highs of earlier releases.
It’s understood that the 56-year-old is failing to attract a new generation of fans, while the older generation are less interested in her newer material.
It should be noted the project’s current chart trouble is likely to disappear once the star begins to push the release in the traditional release.
However, one does have to wonder why Madonna’s name alone isn’t enough for the project to sell itself.

People see through her gimmicks and stunts.
Exactly.
Well its about time. 25 years over due.
ciara’s career started in 04 and ended in 06.
bless.
They say beyonce is the new Madonna 🙂
And you’re somehow still worried about it in 2014. Praise jah !!! 😆
How funny that all these queens hate on Mariah Carey but have added “Elusive” and “Chanteuse” to their vocabulary after Mariahs album lmfao!!! And the word of the day is “Biters”
Lmfao! Yass I notice Chantuese more after Mariah album
It’s not funny or surprising they’re saying it ironically
*chantuese being used
I dont mean to interupt this post but Honey all that matters in life right is the ‘kii’ of nicki not selln 200k after all and only 4500 ACROSS THE GLOBE! * steps down from soap box and twists of post…PROUD!’
Good.
NICKI BOUGHT HER OWN CDS!!!! 😀 😀 she a flop
Madonna slayed me at the super bowl, second only to beyonce, but no body cares anymore. I previewed those new tracks and they sucked. The last few songs by her that I liked was Hung Up and 4 Minutes with Justin Timberlake. That nicki and Mia throwback to the beach boys song was…….
After watching the super bowl performance over a few times you’ll begin to notice it wasn’t that hot either. Hung up was the s*** though, I will always love that song. Unfortunately, her popularity in pop music has run its course! She’ll be the big 60 soon, release a few ballads for the retired folks or hang it up.
The thirst for this album to flop is real, give it some time, the album won’t be released until march. TGJ and The Daily Mail loves Madonna, don’t they?
Reminds of when west coast disappeared outta the hot 100 two weeks after its release .
Reminds me of when you’re daddy swallowed my kids on the west coast
F***** you post about Lana with this SAME drag in literally every post you go in. Worry about two soundtrack songs by Lana (from the critically acclaimed Tim Burton film Big Eyes, in theaters now) that are currently available for free download on Yahoo and Google Play, at least 400 spots above F***’s “huge hit with longevity” Applause and her only semi-remembered single Poker Face?
Was anyone really gonna buy this old h*** crap anyway???
Madonna needs to retire that’s all she can’t compete with the new girls
I am a mimi fan but I must admit, Madonna is badass 😀 not as talented as mimi but more sucessful. Yeah
Who is this again? Oh ok
The Pink Slip – 192K.
194k and I’m here for the Madonna official release. Based on the direction of the 6 songs, it will be good.
U say 194k like that isn’t more than everyone else but taylor
I agree that 194k is a great number. Just responding to the tired shade it was throwing. He could at least get the numbers right.
I dont know why she bothers to release new music she doesnt have to compete with the girls… her tour will scalp all of them and this is coming from someone who isnt a fan.
Duh, I knew this would happen. She will just bundle the album with her concert ticket sales next year, as per usual..
In all fairness, the album doesn’t come out until March. She’ll be back at #1 her first week of release.

post this video of rita ora. They claim she has no talent and ritanna has. Let see rhino when RADIO stops playing her and she is not 20’s.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_VBG42lGNQ
What is this video? I can’t view it on flash player. Give me the details I will search it on youtube
REPEAT: The albums doesn’t come out until March and Madonna has done no media promo yet.
Doesn’t really sound bad considering the album comes out in March. TGJ borderline claims to hate Mariah, Rihanna, & Madonna, but they make sure to give them a daily article for hits… 🙁
Ummm Madonna did NOT even want to release it yet! Her album will debut at number 1 in March & her tour will gross over 300,000,000+ $’s with less than 100 shows. The Queen Of Pop has NOTHING to worry about.
Stunning pic of Mariah Carey!
This write-up is a bit premature, especially when the album is due out in March. Tbh, I think any amount of pre-orders are good. Most people that really plan to be on board usually pay more attention to the actual release week. Daily Mail should at least give Madonna a chance to flop (after all the promo), then they may carry on. Fair is fair! … Although I won’t be surprised if Madge finds a new way to bundle this go around.
Madonna should really come harder if she still wants to be successful with her music this isn’t 2000 anymore she’s way out of her prime now but she is still the queen no matter how hard she flops ..btw that tour will f****** slay for the gods honey your fav could NEVER
Rihanna could never Taylor Swift could never Katy could never Yawnce could never
you fucktards it’s a pre order that has had zero promo, rushed released. the single hasn’t even been serviced to radio yet nor had any video or lyric video release. it’s not a proper release YET. this is just based on not even a week out of the gate as a rush release. this is just based on the songs sold on iTunes.
Lmao and lmao @ TGJ constantly using “chanteuse” in articles. Queen Mariah improving the lesser’s vocabulary I see.
Not with mariah struggling to find words herself on idol
Not you talking about idol when Mariah’s pay doubled Nicki’s.
Not as much as Future’s accountant struggles to give Ciara and the Octopussy Crew of Baby Mamas their child support checks
Madonna is doing the Grammys before the album drops, so she’ll probably do better than expected. I wonder when Adele is bringing out her album this year.
Madonna is not entirely more successful than Mariah.. The thing is y’all give iTunes far too much credit. You can be high up on iTunes and still flop.. Perhaps more people are interested in a traditional release.. Y’all are making too much out of nothing..
Her material did get leaked, so they have to regroup..
Someone should tell #1 Lana fan – oops, I mean #1 bitter f***** on this site, Rima, that the massive flop West Coast is currently outselling every F*** song on iTunes except two.
But Lana cannot outsing Gaga. If Gaga and Lana could sing on stage
together, nobody could hear lana. Gaga is a terrific singer than Lana.
Grow up. Gaga is a queen compared to lana
Why don´t you stop it already? lol It´s not a good look. If I were Lana I wouldn´t want you stanning for me (I´m listening to Ultraviolence album as I type this).
queen of pop

RIHANNA IS DONE; SHE DOES NOT HAVE THE TALENT TO TAKE HER TO 30’S
Madonnas album is not officially out till March its on Pre-order! there is no mass promo , no music videos, no songs sent to radio, its amazing that even on pre-release that it made it to no.1 on iTunes in 90 countries anyway , people need to stop hoping for the worst as the work she has let us here so far is brilliant and thats all that matters
am,
I always feed you exclusives lol. Some rita ORA at the white house
WHERE she shows why she will have a career after 30 and Rihanna WONT.
Caught on Fire: A pop folk type ballad
allad at the white house
PS: Sam, why dont you cover Stromae? He is Half Rwandan and sings about losing his dad in the genocide. His album is one of 2014 best sellers and he does not even sing in English; the album is AMAZING ANF OUT of this world, as are his vides and stage shows.
Sam
I tried to post Rita song called ‘ caught on fire’. Let us just say, THIS NEW ALBUM IS GONNA BE SO MUCH BETTER THAN HER DEBUT.
THE VOCALS ARE ON POINT
THE LYRICS ARE ARE LEGIT
THE SOUUND IS READIO FREINDLY, and sounds NOTHING LIKE RIHANNA’ Rihanna was not making quality music like her ON HER ALBUM 2/
HER new single, Testosterone was produced by The invisible men, who produced Fancy for Iggy and Hot right now ( co wrote ) IT WILL BE A HUGE HIT IN THE UK and hopefully she can crack the USA.
HER NEW album sounds very mature and VOCAL DRIVEN, yet, EASY ON THE TOP40 ear. WE know she looks good and has good video. SHE can sing live. RITA IS READY TO BLOW.
LOL RITA WHO?
FYI, not sure if this is out or not but Rita Ora has a collab coming with TI soon
+10 Michael Jackson – Number Ones
2 -1 Michael Bublé – Christmas
3 -1 Ed Sheeran – x
4 = Taylor Swift – 1989
5 +14 ABBA – ABBA Gold
6 -3 Madonna – Rebel Heart
7 -1 Sam Smith – In the Lonely Hour
8 +20 Queen – Greatest Hits
9 -4 One Direction – FOUR
10 +14 Frank Sinatra – Sinatra: Best Of The Best
Sam can you give this Rita Ora a post about its fav so he that he can take all this long essay to that post….
Like a Virgin was #1 on the Hot 100 exactly 30 years ago . . .
Give it a rest, will ya?
I mean, I´m not the biggest Madonna fan (like @s****** is) and it´s clear that for whatever reason the interest in a new Madonna album stopped after Hard Candy. But that means that the hype and anticipating for a new Madonna album lasted no less than 20 years!!! I mean, that has to be record breaking (I´m talking about huge anticipation, of course legends will always be checked by fans, but you know what I mean, huge mainstream anticipation). Last time she did it was with Confessions (an unbelievably good album). Nothing can last forever at that level, not even in this case. But so what? A little shade a few times can be funny. But being so damn negative on a daily basis when it comes only to certain artists (Madonna, Mariah Carey,…) when they clearly outsell, outlast, outperform your faves (which is the real kii) is pathetic. But of course Dreamgirls was this huge success comparable to The Bodyguard, Titanic or SNL soundtracks right? LMAO In another world and period of time I suppose…
What I´m really interested in too is Adele´s new album! I want to see someone actually selling. I mean, music industry has almost disappeared, look at 2014 sales.
Only Taylor Swift has been able to sell (and I don´t even want to adknowledge that, I mean how has America fallen for her? Is the media retarded now? She can´t sing or perform, and it´s not like the music she makes is this crazy artistic body of work, like Ultraviolence for exmaple, and I give this example so that you can compare two people whose vocals and performances are controversial).
Chart phenomenons in the 80s and 90s: Michael f****** Jackson, Madonna, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, U2, Prince, Bruce… Now in the 10s: Taylor Swift and Adele (thank God for her in this case). Are we serious?
LOL WHY IS ANYONE SURPRISED? THIS PREHISTORIC TRASHWH0RE HAS BEEN FLOPPING ALBUMS FOR THE LAST 15 YEARS LOL.
I’m not surprised! The album doesn’t even drop until March, it’s only on pre-order. It will rise closer to the release date and it will probably see strong first week sales like all of Madonna’s albums do. I don’t think she has reason to worry about that. However, the fact that most of the album has leaked already is concerning. How upsetting for her!
That’s what the heifer get for trying to leak her own s***!
Oh yeah! Quoting from the Daily Mail?! Cos that’s serious journalism, you do realise they make stuff up yeah?
