Interesting that Madonna's last physical single to be released was Living For Love which also peaked at number 26 and sold around 200'000 copies. If record companies dont produce the physical copies so sought after by their fans, then of course numbers will be low. Nobody is keeping Madonna nor any other legacy act out of the top 10 other than their own respective fans not 'switching' to the newer formats such as streaming. It also includes local acts for local people, unlike aloof foreigners we will never see enter the country.

This local chart far more interesting and dynamic than any 'global' chart.

Unless you count that she still does sell in the UK unlike Madonna, but as you don't want to hear that you conveniently ignore it. They too are getting on a bit and irrelevent to this conversation. 5 years ago's trio of #1 albums (Kylie) don't really matter either in this context. Before most of today's listeners parents were born. And let's face it, if we're talking current and future collaborations, last's century's sales don't matter, so it does matter 'when' they were sold. You still have to reduce the claim by adding "female" and "solo" into most influencial and biggest selling due to so many male acts and groups keeping her out of the top 10. The album chart has become easier to predict!īelieve what you want. I find it far harder to predict than in the physical era. Today's singles chart is a funny old game. I'm not sure Kylie's will do a great deal either. One top 40 single in 20 years won't change her downward trajectory. All rights reserved.I think you're right.
