Some more interesting stats:

Madonna has had just 5 top 10 singles in the US in the past 10 years.

2 of those top 10s were in 2000.

That is just 3 top 10 singles in the US in the past 8 years.

I suppose the UK is very much her home turf now, and to be fair the US market is basically R n' B now.

i can safely say the US market is DREADFUL. its all the same, no diversity whatsoever! i have an american friend whos here at UNI, and she says she loves coming to this country because we have such a wide range of popular music - and even her friends back home complain that they have to use the internet to find 'different' genres of music. (at last somones got somthing good to say about this country)

Madonna has always marketed better in the UK. She knows this.

I think it upset her at first that the US didn't see her the way Europe did but her love of Britain came after 'Sex' and the fact we reacted to it with ease rather than America who acted with shock and disgust. Ever since then she seems to have paid more attention to the music we'd like over here rather than what they would like over there.

Maybe not just yet Celebration looks set to miss the top 5 in the UK

Revovler should do better after an X Factor performance and then release.

I blame the remix featured in the video.
It's just horrible...and so not like a Madonna song at all.

You're right though, "Revolver" should do well on the charts if she perfoms it on the X-Factor. I'm totally obsessed by it.

I think people are sick of seeing a 50 year old woman behaving like she does. my niece used the like her, but now she has told me her and her school mates think shes an embarrasment and dont like her anymore.
And i cannot stand watching her latest videos, epecially when im eating.

She is a wicked artist and a cleaver business woman. I just wish she would calm it down on the dirty side of things, its awful.

She knows how to keep in the spotlight, but i think if she carries on doing what she does, it wont be long until people switch of from her.

Why is it when a man or woman reach a certain age they're not allowed to be sexy anymore? Are they supposed to shrivel up and die?
I think it stinks.
Apart from the sinew Madonna would look amazing for her age. If you still have a great body and sex appeal at that age why stop flaunting it?

You aren't going to be a very happy person then when she reaches #1 again with her "Celebration" album.
She is an icon. Both she and her music have now achieved legendary status around the world...she didn't sell millions of records for nothing. She's amazing.

Can I ask who YOU prefer to listen to?

she looks absolutly amazing for her age. i always find the people slagging are off because of her sex appeal, tend to be rather bitter.

It's not exactly the main chart.
Apart from Hung Up, she's not really had a truly great song/hit this decade.

(well the Justin Timberlake song was a hit, but it's a pretty dire song IMHO).

Credit to her for staying some what relevant, but you have to admit the vast majority of her music just appeals to her fanbase and not much else (a very large fanbase, true)

Madonna looks amazing for her age. She looked radiant at the VMA's and although there is a LOT of 'rubbing against wall' in the celebration video, she still looks fantastic. Just because she's old doesn't mean she should not dance in videos anymore. Also, the comment about her music being 'over-rated and shit' is ridiculous. Some of her songs are truly amazing. There you have it.

She looks amazing for her age when she has been airbrushed!!!

Come off it, madonna has never had sex appeal anyway. She looks like she wears yesterdays knickers inside out. and needs a good wash.

Most people would probably agree that Madonna is bigger than Michael Jackson, perhaps the biggest ever (or so most of my friends tell me although I'm not sure I agree), I have always liked her, more so in the 80s, but I personally don't think she does look all that great for her age, I mean I'd say she looks 50 - not that there's anything wrong with that of course.
