I'm guessing that it will be slightly more successful than the "American Life" single.

AL i belive peaked at #10 but in this day of downloads its possible to have a very high debut but fallin off on the second week

But i think i will still go up since its madonna!! her airplay has gone up just a bit yesterday

and on itunes it has already started to fall off

asg said:

American Life only made it to 35

ehuffnsd said:

Correct.

sextonseven said:

37 I thought.

Moonbeam said:

I will check my Billboard book tonight. It definitely didn't make the top 30.

sextonseven said:

it peaked at #37

http://en.wikipedia.org/w...iscography

Hung up

itunes #6 ( peak #3 2 days back)

airplay #28 ( hasnt moved in 2 days might be peaking)


if it continues fallin on itunes i dont see it goin up on next weeks H100

Thing to remeber is that American life went to #37 but it was #1 on sales

sales are traditionally her strength thats why hung up is doin better now that they count sales

I thought the video would help the track.
Anyways it doesn't look like it will be moving up the charts anytime soon, unless radio takes a better liking to it, which is highly unlikely.

Week #2

Hung up drops to #21 alhought its numbers r still goin up

last week the downloads were nearly 30,000 which equals 60million airplays

This week downloads r nearly 24000 equal to 48million audience for airplay

while airplay goin up to 15mil which is still goin up about 10 p0ostiions

i heard this track and saw the video, wtf?.. this is some uninspired late 90's House soundling like Danny Tennaglia half asleep on the console.

FINESS'S FAVORITE VIDEO OF ALL-TIME

jayaredee said:

the problem is,most video channels rarely show music videos these days VH-1 and MTV are more interested in reality shows.Music videos are not the important promotional tool that they used to be.

Dropping to 21 is much better than what most were predicting. This song is headed for the top 10 easily.

Moonbeam said:

How?

GangstaFam said:

with the release of the single, maxi and album in the next weeks

ehuffnsd said:

I hope so. Madonna should always be able to take the #1 spot. It should be a given.

GangstaFam said:

isnt it goin the wrong direction

The new format lets artist with big fan bases to debut very high but fall off right away.

In the downloads this song is losing steam very fast and the weight of this songs downloads right now is 3 times that of airplay. even if it gains airplay which it is doin right now (#21 airplay) it will still fall off next week.
I dont think it will be in the top 10 of itunes in another day or so and thereafter will fall sharply next week this song might be below #30

GangstaFam said:

had Madge enlisted the help of the Neptunes and Jermanie Dupri and Kayne West she would have had it hands down. however she is doing her thing and Clear Channel isn't agreeing without payola.

ehuffnsd said:

She should pay then.

GangstaFam said:

she is above that. i think WB and her are more worried about album sales anyway. they haven't pushed a single in a long time. Beautiful Stranger should have charted higher than 19 but they wanted people to buy the Austin Powers soundtrack.

ehuffnsd said:

She's such a fantastic singles artist though. I mean, I'm glad she's really promoting this album and giving MTV a flashy video, but it sucks that it's not enough to make her #1 or at least Top 10. It used to be so effortless for her to get a hit.

GangstaFam said:

that was before Clear Channel and it's using Hip Hop as the only acceptable form of music for youth.

ehuffnsd said:

exactly

the song kept its bullet (increased audiance) despite falling a notch. the loss in sales were more than made up in airplay gains. Its still the second fastest gainer on the pop airplay chart and sales should level off and pick up again as the non-madonna freaks start to buy it
