Begging for sales


Madonna fans in the United Kingdon are getting a bit desperate, as the UK is looking to be yet another country where Madonna's new single is ot going to get the number one spot in the Top 40.

The good news for Madonna fans, is that the midweek charts have been released in the UK and Madonna is number 2 with her new single.
The bad news is that Taio Cruz, who's currently leading the chart, is more than 10.000 sales ahead of "Celebration".

Also, all of the preordered physicals will have been counted as Monday sales, and given that "Celebration" is not doing well digitally - currently not even top 10 on iTunes - Madonna is likely to drop.

So what are the fans doing? They are trying to get the fanbase to buy more copies than the actually need... Schemes like buying multiple copies, or individual songs instead of EP packages, in order to get the song to get a little higher on the charts.

It's a bit pathetic the once greatest artist on the planet has to resort to schemes like this to secure her chart run.
