Why all these hate about Celine dion? i mean, come on, she is a great artist too. don’t get me wrong, i am Madonna’s biggest fan, but i can judge on what good music is. Celine has an incredible vioce. i have all her albums. she is far better than shitty mariah carey! back on the subject, Hard Candy is a great album. for me it’s the best one this year, as i bought lots of other albums like Duffy, Coldplay, Jordin Sparks, P!nk, The Script, Leona Lewis, Anastacia & lots of others. but i never buy a mariah cd! to make it straight, Madonna have done better albums than Hard Candy. True Blue, Confessions & Erotica are mastepiece! as i know some of you wown’t agree with me, for me her best album is American Life. her voice sounds so powerfull in it. in Hard Candy are lots of great songs. Miles Away are definetly the best one, shame there’s no music video.
as singles i would have chosen in these order;
1.Beat Goes On(worldwide & video)
2.Give It to Me(Worldwide & Video)
3.Miles Away(Worldwide & video)
4.Heartbest(radio promo)
5.4 Minutes(Worldwide & Video)
6.Devil Wouldn’t Recognize You(Worldwide with Tour Footage as Video)

“When Madonna’s “Music” topped the Hot Singles Sales chart for four weeks in September 2000, it was her first release to top the chart since it was introduced in 1991. Prior to “Music” finding its way to pole position, Madonna had 19 titles that missed first place, including “This Used to Be My Playground” (No. 3 in 1992) and “Take a Bow” (No. 4 in 1995).

But since “Music” triumphed, Madonna has collected nine No. 1s, out of the 16 singles that have charted from 2000 to today. Her ninth and latest single to rule this chart is “Miles Away”, which takes a 31-1 leap to become this tally’s first No. 1 of 2009.

Here is a chronological list of Madonna’s No. 1s on Hot Singles Sales:

“Music,” four weeks (2000)
“Don’t Tell Me,” one week (2001)
“Die Another Day,” 11 weeks (2002)
“Nothing Fails,” one week (2003)
“Hung Up,” five weeks (2005)
“Sorry,” one week (2006)
“Jump,” two weeks (2006)
“4 Minutes,” two weeks (2008)
“Miles Away,” one week to date (2009)

From Billboard.com’s Chart Beat.

Madonna’s “Miles Away” takes the lead on Billboard’s Hot Dance Airplay, giving the superstar her seventh No. 1 song in a row on this chart.

This survey has only been around for five years, so seven No. 1s is good enough to give Madonna more chart-toppers than any other artist. She was previously tied with Rihanna, who now slips to second place with her six No. 1s.

Justin Timberlake is in third place with four and Beyonce ranks fourth with three. Madonna also has the highest amount of No. 1 hits on the Hot Dance Club Play chart, where her 39 chart-toppers are more than double the 18 No. 1s accumulated by second-place Janet Jackson. “

To Yolanda,
I think any of those songs that you have mentioned, are worthy of being widely released as a single and accompanied with a video. But I think Warner Bothers has lost its touch in promotion, timing of the release, airplay and video. But I am glad that Madonna’s songs can’t be killed with lousy promotion from its record company. As you can see sales wise Miles Away has toped the sales charts.

I love all the songs on this album. When I play it I never skip a song. However I must say that I do play Beat Goes on about a 10 times before moving on to the next song. There is something in her voice and her message that is all Madonna(serious and campy at the same time). Its beat is light, I just can’t stop dancing and smiling when it is on. I find it so empowering. I love how she sings these lyrics: “You don’t have the luxury of time, your choice, your voice,”

Khosrow I agree, with you.

I think Hard Candy is a good job. You could not have been better described.

As in all cd’s, there often exist or filler songs, which are perceived are there to fill space. Hard candy in, for me there is none. I may look better or worse one song or another (English lesson not wait, and I do not think you’ve heard a whole, except in concert), but other songs are part of Madonna, the latter two are beautiful and the one I hear over and over again.
4 minutes for me is the best, of course … I prefer hearbeat! or CANDY SHOP (THIS IS THE BEST FOR ME CD) or beat goes on … or dance 2nigt voices … ..
in order …

I think Madonna has done an excellent job (she and her colleagues of course) and could have sold more, yes, of course. If you think young people not working in my opinion 4 minutes .. .. And it is not cool things off the Internet is you do not know. You buy a CD for more than 2 or 3 songs .. as are the prices … but miles away and give it 2me, I do not buy it ..
As a fan I am more of those over 25 years, because I would buy any CD madonna, (I have one for the car and one for home jejeje) …

Which of these singles … think what would have happened?

Beat Goes On
Give 2me
Candy Shop
Optional the 4th single Heartbeat …

What would have happened?

Dear Celine Dion, isn’t it a fraud selling your music by falsely claiming u’re the best selling female, lying to your public and other people with false claims, through a well calculated media intoxication in the last several years? Are’t you a tool Celine and a fraud? Given it would take you years to surpass Madonna, you can’t wait no longer and you sell your desired but false claims openly, without being afraid of no consequences? Wow, I wonder how far your corruption can go …

I personally think Hard Candy is a very good album by any standard. On all of the tracks Madonna’s voice is just beautiful and true to its origin/ breathing ground(the dance floor). The beat is consistent and funky, the lyrics on the album are just exquisite yet light and candy like.

If you analyse different charts closely, you’ll see that the numbers all add up for Madonna in a big way.

Which is more important; 1- the radio or the internet? 2- digital format or traditional CD format(which is the format I use)? 3- Sales in one country or the sales across the Universe?
The answers to those questions are: internet, digital format and overall international sales.

Here are the 2008 facts:

1- Number one tour by a solo artist ever.
2- Her seventh number one album in the USA.
3- Hard Candy at number 1 in 40 countries.
4- 4 minutes at number 1 in 60 countries.
5- The third international best-selling album in 2008(nearly four million copies sold world wide a quarter of which were sold in the USA alone)
6- The biggest selling single worldwide.
7- The biggest selling artist in the dance genre.
8- Extending her number 1 dance records to 38.
9- Breaking Elvis’s record for most to 10 songs in the music history.
10- Nominated for three Grammy awards including the best pop vocal collaboration as well as best dance record.

All of the above are the proof of her Madjesty’s continuing reign across the universe.

No need to cry for Madonna. Crying has never been her thing. What makes Madonna, is her ability to move on. She reflects on the past but does not live in the past nor lives for the past. That unique quality has helped her survive. Most true Madonna fans and admirers are inspired by that quality in her. They are forward looking.

Having said all of the above, I think Warner Brothers is amidst chaos and hasn’t had a clear marketing strategy for any of its products for the past 10 years. The fact that Madonna has managed to survive all of that, has to do with combination of Madonna’s own hard work, quality of her work, diversity of her work, and her brand/ her evolving artistic personality.
Warner Brother cant make up their minds about the simultaneous release dates, formats, making a video or radio promotion. I didn’t think I would ever say that, but judging from Warner Brothers’ recent miscalculations, I am glad Madonna is leaving them.

  those numbers are quite IMPRESSIVE
  
  i totally agree with you about Warner Bros. lack luster marketing
  for M’s records in the past few years, which i read was rumored
  to be instrumental in M leaving WB so sign with Live Nation
  
  i don’t know of M’s next album will be loaded with “#1″ hits
  
  i just want a great, solid sounding new album from M,
  something to look forward to..!

i don’t really care that Hard Candy, and all the singles
from that album did not all make the #1 spot

i think Hard Candy was a good album – but not a great one

however,
given the fact that M has been making music for almost
30 years now, and been in the spotlight, yet can still pull
in these impressive numbers says a LOT about her relevance even today

and hopefully,

M has many, many, many more great songs
and sounds she has yet to produce and revel
in, and some great concert tours to follow

time will tell

in any case,
it was a great 2008 for M!

Well Done!

  to be frank,i dont think these numbers are impressive.i also think Madonna has lost a bit of her relevance.im 20 so i’v never been in “like a prayer” or “justify my love” days but comparing that madonna to this one i guess she’s done pushin the envelop.
  dont get me wrong im a huge fan,HD is way cool and the show was outta this world but…is it just me or she’s not IT at least in the US anymore?

    strange,
    
    i am not too big of a big fan of the Like A Prayer albums,
    it has some good tracks like Spanish Eyes, Express Yourself,
    Oh Father, but the rest of the album is just not to my taste
    
    i am a big admirer of her first first 3 albums,
    but not so much a fan of her forth album…
    
    now when it came to Justify My Love and the entire Erotica
    album, that’s when i feel M turned a corner musically for the
    better…then Bedtime Stories and Ray Of Light solidified her
    progressive “pop” sound in my opinion – there was no turning
    back for her after those latter albums were released
    
    i feel with Hard Candy, she was (perhaps unwittingly)
    pandering to the U.S. pop market a bit
    
    however,
    i feel the Hard Candy album was really redeemed in some
    of the un-official remixes (youtube has a BUNCH of REALLY
    GREAT “bootleg” remixes) some of them are the BEST i have
    EVER heard of remixes of M’s songs
    
    i am no fan of justin timberlake, pharell, or timbaland,
    so i was a bit disappointed that M would choose to work
    with SUCH commercial sounding producers, after working
    with really groundbreaking producers like Mirwias, Stuart Price, William Orbit, and Marius De Vries, Bloodshy & Avant…etc…
    
    but,
    M does what she does, for whatever reason she does
    creatively speaking, so in that sense, sometimes it works
    really well, and sells #1 singles and records, and sometimes
    it does not
    
    i have been into M’s music since i first heard Lucky Star
    waaaaaaay back in 1983, for me, it was literally love at first
    listen, as well as first sight, so i can only imagine what a 20
    year old might think of this woman who has been in the
    spotlight for one reason or another for so long
    
    i think the fact that M has been in the spotlight for so long,
    and puts out a new record every 2 or 3 years may explain
    the reason her “popularity” and relevance is in question here
    in the U.S.A.
    
    for sometime now,
    the U.S. pop scene has been stuck on a rap / hip-hop ghetto,
    musically speaking, so i can usually look forward to M putting
    out a really great sounding record
    
    i truly wish, for M’s next album,
    that she would really take some chances creatively speaking,
    with Hard Candy, she did the “current pop sound”, now i wish
    she would go a bit further into the future sound wise, keep all
    the core beats, but really take some chances artistically
    
    i wish M would work with Lady GaGa, Bloodshy & Avant,
    Nicole Morier, Stuart Price..etc…
    
    and her music videos MUST be just as progressive,
    in the past, M has more than set the standard for what a GREAT
    music video should look and sound like, so i am hoping the next
    time i see a fresh new video from M…that it will blow my mind
    
    okay…
    
    looks like i gave you a really long answer to a short question
    
    sorry but…i guess i needed to express my own self…. ; )

  define failure. it’s her her seventh #1 album in the u.s. it was #1 in many other countries as well. her lead off single “4 minutes” was the biggest single of her 25+ year career. once again like her other singles, her singles from “hard candy” top all of the dance/club charts. the tour for the album is the biggest grossing ever by any solo artist (male or female). and she’s no new kid on the block. she’s an old pro veteran, a 50 year old mother of three facing a divorce and the challenges of mid-life, and yet she continues to be creative, energetic, inspiring, and a lot of fun. not every album is going to be a mega smash like a “true blue” or a “like a prayer.” madonna’s earned her stripes. many other artists in her shoes would just rest on their laurels and relsih in their accomplishments. madonna is always on the move. that to me is definitely not failure.

shardy, i think that you’re dead on about madonna turning a corner musically during the “justify my love” and “erotica” era. i personally think that “erotica” is her best album. there’s just something about it…

Reply
shardy says:

December 28, 2008 at 6:14 pm

yeah…i agree

i absolutely ♥ that album (Erotica)

for most of late 92 / early 1993
it was my sonic bible / mantra….so i hold that
album in particular close to my heart, it’s my favorite

when all was said and done,
it sold well…but i think it is a lost gem of an album

i think it got a bit lost due to the SEX book, and the film
Body Of Evidence, more folks were fixated on that than the great album that accompanied it…so i feel it did not get its proper credit

and ALL of the videos for Erotica were ALL equally
compelling and were all such a great compliment
to the album

Erotica, Bedtime Stories, Ray of Light, Music, American Life,
Confessions On A Dance Floor…

all those albums are so different in sound and tone,
yet they all really have a great body and groove to them

can’t wait to hear what M cooks up next album wise
