Born To Die has reached platinum status in Poland!

Also, "Ride" has been confirmed as a track for Paradise by Rick Nowels on his Twitter. He did not produce it but he did produce three other tracks for it. On BTD Rick Nowels produced Summertime Sadness, Dark Paradise, and Lucky Ones.

I hope Ride is released soon since she already finished the video for it.

The next MDNA single is SUPERSTAR!!!



The trolling continues

Spoiler

I LOOOVEEE superstar tho. lol

This has to be a joke. Superstar is one of the worst tracks on MDNA.

idk why she is continuing to bother with releasing singles, is anybody here for them? I can't remember if TUTR even charted.

[edit]175 on the UK chart. #FlopOnTheRadio

 

[Ties]

Madonna is so thirsty for a smash hit this era it is unbelievable. She should just stop releasing singles once she releases the Gang Bang video and just continue onwards with ha tour.

Lana smashes everywhere in the world but the US and it's actually sort of depressing because the girl has such an interesting image and vision. Hopefully she smashes once she releases the re-release of BTD tbh.

Also in other news:

Is that Elton?

ITZ's notes

+ Your Body registers an 80% drop in airplay from debut to second day. Not an actual decrease mind you. I dont quite know how RCA ironed out a radio deal but it seems to only have lasted for a day. I wouldnt worry though as it could be beneficial for the in the sense that it wont register big rolling effect drops in the next week.

+ Alicia Keys could be gearing up for a comeback with "Girl On Fire". The song has been registering 1M+ updates ever since release. A slow burner, for sure.

+ The battle for #1 on the Hot 100 will be between Maroon 5, Flo Rida and Taylor Swift. I dont know if Taylor has made her song available for streaming which could be pivotal in deciding if it gets #1 or not.

ITZ I'm confused. You're saying she had an 80% drop but over at ATRL they're saying her audience impressions are at 12 million for day 2, which is up from the 10 million day 1.

Are these two different numbers? Am I reading this wrong? ;__;

 

[twobear]

Madonna is so thirsty for a smash hit this era it is unbelievable. She should just stop releasing singles once she releases the Gang Bang video and just continue onwards with ha tour.

She should release I'm Addicted, by far the biggest chance of smashing out of any track on MDNA.

On friday it gained 10.something million, yesterday it gained 1.902
bringing its total for the week to 12.850

 

[Aguila]

Madonna is still trying with MDNA...

Lana smashes everywhere in the world but the US and it's actually sort of depressing because the girl has such an interesting image and vision. Hopefully she smashes once she releases the re-release of BTD tbh.

I know! It makes it especially more strange to see this happen when all of her music and style revolves around American imagery and symbolisms.

Oh nope I meant the song had a 80% decrease of spins from day 1 to day 2. Its didnt drop in AI. It would be impossible to drop in AI in the first week. 12.850 is the correct number

MuuMuse slays me. From the rumbles earlier in the year about Xtina recording with Xenomania:

Imagine, if you can, a world where a Xenomania/Christina Aguilera collaboration exists. Consider the quality of a Girls Aloud song–in all of its ridiculous lyricism and hooks for days–as oversung by a legend. Think of “Graffiti My Soul,” “Life Got Cold,” or even “Can’t Speak French” performed by the almighty Burlesque songstress, she of #161 UK 2008 chart-bottoming smash “Genie 2.0.”

Can you even? I certainly can’t.

Ugh, these CHILDREN.

NONE

All acts that are more iconic and have just plain achieved more than Bey-on-my-way-to-jail-for-plagiarism-cey, and even a few people in the above list I wouldn't say have earned a spot in the LEGENDARY LANE.

She ain't there yet, sweets. And until she stops ripping off other artists wholesale she never will be.

Britney is definitely a bigger icon than Gaga.

Hell, remember when the Lady Gaga fans went nuts after 99cents This Way was totally different than The Fame albums?? Some are still shading her to this day. If Artpop is another disappointment, her "icon" status will be on the line.

Gaga still has to prove her longevity.

Well sis you can lol, but Britney and Lady Gag-me have had more cultural impact than Beyonce, and Beyonce needs to watch her back because after 4 flopping Rihanna's well on her way to passing her up. She's already more of a style icon than Beyonce ever was.

I agree that Beyonce has all the parts of an icon (she's gorgeous, incredibly talented, successful, and driven as FUCK). But I think that if Beyonce wants to be an icon she needs to start being more ICONIC. Start being bolder and more original. Start thinking BIGGER and stop pinching pennies on her career.

Gaga still has to prove her longevity.

I very much agree with this.

Huh?

Beyonce influenced so many current popstars, including Rihanna. How's that for being original?

Do you even know what the word icon means? Ask current pop artists who they think are pop icons. I'm sure that the "icons' you're mentioning will call Beyonce their Icon.

 

[Mumei]

So what are the tiers, anyway? I mean there's Legendary and Iconic and Flop, right?. What's in above / in between / below those?

Lots of artists have listed Christina Aguilera as an influence, but I wouldn't call her an Icon yet (at least, not in the way the word is usually applied to music artists). And DEFINITELY not in the same tier as MJ and Madonna and Mariah.
