Since everyone is rating the tracks,I'll finally do the same lol

Candy Shop 3/5
4 Minutes 3/5
Give It To Me 4/5
Heartbeat 5/5
Miles Away 5/5
She's Not Me 3/5
Incredible 4/5
Beat Goes On 5/5
Dance 2Night 5/5
Spanish Lesson 1/5
Devil Wouldn't Recognize You 4/5
Voices 1/5


My overall grade for this album is a B+.If "Spanish Lesson" and "Voices" had been replaced with stronger songs,it would have gotten an A.





I think Im the only one that doesnt give Beat Goes On a high score. Maybe its a grower for me .



Overall I like it but I just hate not so much Kanye's rap which is just a lazy uninspired tack on, but that build up to it and then the fact that the song is just interrupted and never goes back.

For those that love "Miles Away", do you think it has a chance a single? I wonder if WB will listen to the fans and release it to radio after "Give It 2 Me" (a very odd choice especially considering the stronger Neptunes tracks that are more radio friendly).

I liken the song to American Life's "Nothing Fails". It's that great song that is very emotional and most fans really love (but some hate). Yet that one got buried in a bad remix as "single" when WB realized it was just going to market the hell out of AL through dance remixed maxis and side projects to sell to hardcore fans. Hopefully seeing how well "4 Mintues" did, they will try to release singles to the commerical mainstream. "Nothing Fails" would have done that and "Miles Away" might if it is released as the 3rd single (although I would prefer "Candy Shop" although it seems unlikey).



Warners would be insane not to release "Miles Away" as a single.It's a gorgeous,perfect little pop number.The fans love it,and I predict it will appeal to an adult contemporary crowd as well (it'll be a popular VH-1 hit,for sure).It should be the third single.Gotta slow things down a bit,after two fast,uptempo singles.

I"m watching the concert now...I wish she'd hang up the guitar. It seems like it's distracting her. She doesn't need to prove anything. She looks f'ing fabulous holy crap.

So what is your opinion on what happened with "Nothing Fails". Everyone loved that song but it got lost in the shuffle of lesser AL songs. Did she even perfrom "Nothing Fails" during that tour? I remember she pulled that one and "Like A Prayer" out for this special with a choir. It was amazing!

"4 Minutes" is doing better than I expected.The song clearly hasn't peaked yet.


Yeah, it's peaked. Now falling at iTunes and it doesn't have cross-format support to make up the points difference at radio.

She should have been smart and suppressed downloads until radio play was at its peak. She would have had a guaranteed #1.

Looks like she's going to have a double whammy here in the UK- number one in both the single and album charts- cool.

Warner couldn't have known in advance that the single would get 50 million+ AI.

Besides, selling 1 million downloads in 5 weeks means more money for Madonna & Warner than a #1.

I say they handled this single well.

If Hung Up could get 32+ million A.I., it's not exactly a stretch and I'm sure they thought this through.

Yet another Madonna single charting lower than its potential because of improper timing (Mariah always knows how to play it right to get that #1, so Madonna should take notes).

Selling 1 million downloads doesn't generate some sort of amazing revenue - in total it's much less than $1 million. She would have sold the same number of downloads regardless of when the single was sent to digital, anyway, since there is clearly digital demand for the track. I'm guessing if they had repressed it properly, it would have easily shifted 250-300k in its first week, and that would have likely been enough for #1. As it is, she will need to do that much this week just to get #2, and from its iTunes positions it's clear that won't be happening. Therefore, it's peaked, unless things change drastically before the tracking week ends.
