Ay yi yi! It’s finally here.
‘Madame X’ – the 14th studio album of Queen of Pop Madonna – has made its debut on streaming services in the United States. Coming as the follow-up to 2015’s ill-fated ‘Rebel Heart,’ ‘X’ storms to chart battle on the heels of five of its housed tracks acting as singles – ‘Medellin’ (featuring Maluma), ‘I Rise,’ ‘Future’ (featuring Quavo), ‘Crave’ featuring Swae Lee, and ‘Dark Ballet.’
If relying on the buying public’s critical and commercial response to the tunes (which has been virtually nonexistent to date as none of them hit the Hot 100), it’s sufficient to say the buzz preceding the set’s release has been one of the lowest of any Madonna project to date.
Will the rest of the album’s content act as its saving grace? Listen inside and tell us:
She has sold more than everybody… period point blank. RESPECT HER as she has outsold them ALL!
Rihanna just outsold her digitally in the U.K. and we all know is the biggest steaming female artist of all time aswell. RIAA has Rihanna at the top certified female artist is of all time! All of this being said Rihanna is the most pirated female artist of all time wowww her power !
Actually Rihanna is listed as best selling singles artist. Albums carry way more weight than singles do.
She’s still gonna flop, and she hasn’t outsold Barbara Streisand so try again.
In the US you’re right. Worldwide she has outsold Babs.
No one from this new streaming generation cares about Madonna. Time to retire granny.
because you think that only the young generation can/want to listen to new music from new artists?! Wtf is wrong with you
Truly horrible. I can’t listen through this album. I started listening to all songs, but can’t finish them.
You can tell she worked on this album…as a whole it makes sense…there’s no stand alone singles (aside from Future.) You hear the inspiration from Lisbon all through the album and I can appreciate it…still not my favorite album…best song tho hands down I Don’t Search I Find & Killers Who Are Partying
3/5 overall
Boring album.. Cant finish the songs.
Please retire Garndmadonna! Gosh even Hard Candy was better than this ish???
Retire ? Why ? Wtf is your problem with her age when nobody says that to others which are olders and still in the industry ! Do you think only the new generation wants to listen to music ?! hey, the older ones still appreciate legends like Madonna, we will see where the career of your young artists will stop in time. Have some respect for this woman, you will make comparaisons when one of these new face will last as long as she did, until this moment give some RESPECT f***
Trash. She needs to sit her fake ass down now.
She’s getting critical praise as her best album since Confessions but I do not connect with the songs and think they over used vocador and autotune on her vocals. I respect that it is an artist statement and “world album” instead of chasing trends. Crave, Crazy, God Control and I Don’t Search are my favs. Madge has nothing left to prove so she can do whatever the hell she wants at this point
Exactly, thank you Seth.
This album is great! Her best this decade for sure. And it’s her 15th studio album.
Heard the first half of the album. Weird is the only way I can describe it. Her ticket bundling is the only thing that will save her because this album has literally no hits or legs.
I’ll pass. ✌?
This is so dull. I dont know how anyone actually thinks this is a good album. It’s easily the worst of her career. I dont agree that you should automatically like an album just because it’s a certain artist. It’s definitely jumping on the latino trend of last year but its it’s just self indulgent. It will only sell half decent causes of the ticket bundling. It has zero replay value
Honestly this just sounds like noise
No thank you.
This album is great and I love how cohesive and Lisbon influence on the record
#1 album in 58 countries. Eat it haters.
Lmaoooo and it’s still gonna flop hard just like her tour lmfaooo???
Yeah! That’s why she’s in The Guinness Book of Records as the highest grossing female tour act in history dumbass!!!!
Definitely her best album since “Confessions”!!
At this stage in her career Madonna can do whatever the f*** she likes!! She’s the Boss!!!!
Unfortunately some good tracks are buried under ham fisted (and unconvincing) political statements, and some surprisingly bad production (most notably on Crave & God Control). The overuse of vocal manipulation also suggests she can’t hold a tune anymore. Time to retire and enjoy her legacy imho.
